The Power of Action
Today I want to talk about the word most people are afraid of and that word is ACTION! I am consistently asked how do I achieve my dreams and goals. Let's face it, we all have them, but what separates those who achieve their goals from those who don't is" Action".
Action is the key to making things happen. It's what turns watching it happen to making it happen. Of course, taking action is not always easy. It can be scary to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. Trust me, I do it all the time. But it's important to remember that the only way to fail is to not try at all.
So if you have a goal that you want to achieve, don't wait. Take Action today. Start small and build momentum. And don't be afraid to ask for help along the way.
Here are some tips for taking action:
Remember, the power of action is real. So don't be afraid to take a chance and go for your dreams. You never know what you might accomplish.
Here is a recent example of the Power of Action in my life. I started a personal retirement company in 2021. I named it Action Academy Group. I wanted to host events to bring high profile CEO's to speak to people about their failures and success. Last month, I reached out to the CEO of Forbes and the CEO of Time Magazine to be speakers in 2024 and both of them said "YES'. I as so elated! You gotta Believe and Take Action. What goal do you need to take action on? Do it Right, Do it Now, Do it Right Now.

When I first met you, it felt like I had found a kindred spirit, like meeting my twin. Reflecting on it now, I realize it wasn’t just a coincidence—it was the influence of our mothers, two remarkable women who instilled in us the same enduring inspiration that has blossomed in our hearts over the years. You were truly blessed to have had such a wonderful mother guiding and shaping you for the future, just as I am blessed to still have my mom, who continues to inspire me daily, always asking, "What is this world coming to?" With more women like you in the world, women could create something truly beautiful. Thank you for the memories and for all the goodness you’ve shared with others.

1 年Every single time I "Take action even when you don't feel like it." , it turns out to be the most amazing experience. I almost anticipate that having a little internal resistance to attending meetings or trying something new is an indication that it is going to garner amazing opportuntities!
