The Secret is in the Beginning

"Beginning" is just another way to describe the most powerful six-letter word in the vocabulary of achievers: A-C-T-I-O-N.

Hugely successful people, the kind who go from mediocre to millions almost overnight, know that the major key to their success was taking MASSIVE ACTION.

When Jeff Bezos decided to start Amazon.com, he left his job on the East Coast and headed to Washington State. He had his wife drive him and their belongings across the country so that he could stay on the phone constantly; convincing potential investors and vendors why Amazon would be a success.

Even the smallest of actions, the ones James Allen called trivial and insignificant, can lead to great success. Sir Isaac Newton's principle that a "body at rest tends to remain at rest and a body in motion tends to remain in motion," definitely applies to the action principle. Once you've taken the first step (even a baby step), the next steps seem easier to take.

It was one of the key principles that almost every single trainer or motivational speaker focused on. That's why Autumn Tate of Colorado later wrote, ""My husband and I have been talking so much about where we go from here, what steps we take next, and what we want to achieve. We have known for a long time that we felt called to reach out in a huge way, but have not been able to put a clear focus on what that means. I know that this has launched us into massive action."

Getting launched into massive action is one of many things you must do now!!! And I am doing it ... NOW!!!

Integrity of the Mind

"Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life to its Fullest

Some people can, some people cannot.
Some people will, some people won't.
Some people have, some people don't have.
Some people do and some people don't.
What is it that some people do and most don't?

The answer is living life to the fullest.

Most folks I know get up and go to work, come home, eat dinner, sleep and repeat the process the following day. This process occurs day after day, week after week until you realize years have passed. You know you are alive because you are breathing, eating, paying your bills (plus GST) and going to work everyday.

Alive, but are you LIVING? Are you getting all you can get out of life? Are you living your dreams or at least chasing them? Are you creating tangible goals and not lofty unattainable goals? Are you working on these goals on some level every day or every week or even one day a month?

If you are not striving to accomplish great things in your life what are you waiting for? The right time is now! The action step this week is to do one thing out of your comfort zone. If this means attending a social gathering, asking someone for a date, seeking reconcialation with an offended party, approaching a successful entrepreneur to learn more about a business that holds your interest, or even volunteering for a cause you believe in, just do it.

"The difference between great people and everyone else is thatgreat people create their lives actively, while everyone elseis created by their lives, passively waiting to see where lifetakes them next. The difference between the two is thedifference between living fully or just existing".

- Michael Gerber,
Author of "The E-Myth Revisited"

Ingenuity

"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."

- George S. Patton
