Make Today the Day

Most of us have things we want to accomplish, career or personal, however, it seems like something is always getting in the way of us doing what needs to be done.  I could write a long list of things to stop doing, but I'm going to restrain myself and touch on three critical points.

1. Get out of your own way. Sometimes it's easy to think and overthink about what it is we say we want and what could happen. We often over analyze and never take the needed action to see results. Get out of your own way and do something today; waiting for things to be "perfect" is an illusion that will keep you stuck. A quick statistic for you, '80% of the things we worry about never happens.'I offer a challenge courtesy of E. Joseph Cossman - “If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.”

2. Stop waiting for others to validate your dreams. It's nice to have others validate what you are doing, however, lack of validation should not be the reason you don't go after your dreams.  Which is worst, not having validation from others ( family members, friends etc.) or having regrets because you didn't take action on your dreams? Remember, opportunity waits on no one.

3. Get going. It is said that a "good decision now is better than a great decision later." Make today the day you stop talking about/thinking about doing and focus your time and energy on taking steps to move your life, career and business forward.I would love to hear how you are making today the day in your life.
