4 Reasons Why Now is the Perfect Time to Take Action, and Not Wait for the New Year

4 Reasons Why Now is the Perfect Time to Take Action, and Not Wait for the New Year

As we edge towards the close of another year, it’s easy to fall into the mindset of “I’ll wait until next year.”

You may be thinking that the new year will be the perfect time to pursue that stretch role, launch that bold initiative, or finally put yourself forward for new opportunities.

#TruthBomb: if you want to springboard into 2025 with energy, excitement, and vision, the time to act is now.

We often hesitate, thinking we need to have everything perfectly in place before we commit, including being fully rested or caught up so we can start fresh.

It’s easy to make your next move conditional—I’ll apply for that role once I finish this project or I’ll pursue that new venture when things settle down at home, or when my partners risky business ventures seem less ?..... risky.

But in reality, those conditions can become an ongoing cycle of waiting, of pushing off what you truly want because you never feel quite ready.

Here’s why it’s so important for you to take action now, especially if you’ve been second-guessing yourself:

Highlights below ?? for the time poor


1. Break the Cycle of Self-Doubt

Hesitation fosters self-doubt, whereas taking immediate action builds confidence by challenging negative narratives and reinforcing your capability.


2. Stretch Opportunities Don’t Wait

Waiting for the perfect moment can cause missed opportunities, or even increased prices (as I found out ??read more ) especially with rapid changes coming in 2025.


3. Create Momentum for 2025

Start planning your next move now, so by taking action in the final quarter, you'll gain momentum and enter 2025 ahead, rather than scrambling to catch up.


4. Excitement Comes from Commitment

Taking decisive action fuels motivation, anticipation and drives progress and will give you a sense of purpose and even energy for the year ahead.




What’s Your Next Step?

So, here’s my challenge for you: what have you been putting off, waiting for the perfect moment to tackle?

What conditions have you been placing on yourself, thinking that once they’re met, you’ll finally take that leap?

Then what will you commit to today?

Yes I have many excuses given to me too for why women wont take action to invest in their appearance. Like, when I lose weight, when I get the job (hello, isn't why you want advice is to improve your appearance so you feel more confident and are noticed?) when our renovations are finished, and even giving their animals as excuses when they have to spend money at the vet. Procrastination is what women are best at Amanda Blesing FARPI but it wont give you what you really want!

I don't believe in taking right decisions. I take decisions and then make them right.
