If You're Serious, Take Action Now

“I’ll put it on my calendar.” “I’ll get to it tomorrow.” “We can do this ourselves.” This may be true, but from where I stand, too many people are fooling themselves.
Sure, they will put something on their calendar and then they won’t look at their calendar. This business of getting to it tomorrow is merely a delay tactic.
If it’s important, do it today. If it’s not that important, then consider not doing it at all.
My favorite is the, “We can do it ourselves.” If you really can, then how come you haven’t taken action yet?
Look, there are things we are good at doing and we enjoy doing and other things we hate doing or we aren’t that great at doing. We should leave those tasks to someone else.
Here’s something I’m serious about and doing something about now.
I’m serious about helping organizations navigate these uncharted waters. I'm advising senior leaders on critical people issues, as they muddle through this pandemic. I'm helping them build organizations that are stronger than what they had before the pandemic.
So, if you're an executive who is serious about business growth and finding the right people to fuel your growth, then reach out to me at [email protected] to schedule a FREE executive session.
Do it today. For if you wait until tomorrow, you’ll most likely never get around to doing anything about the situation at hand.
