This Month's Skill: Take Action Now!
Dear Martial Artist,
What are you doing today to move you toward your goals?
Successful people understand the importance of taking action now! They act quickly toward their goals and objectives. They seem to go through enormous amounts of work in the same time period that the unsuccessful person spends socializing, wasting time and making lists of projects that never get completed.
Successful people take action
Successful people develop a “sense of urgency” about their work. They have an inner drive and desire to get on with the job and get it done quickly. As Brian Tracy, bestselling author and international speaker says, “This sense of urgency feels very much like a race against yourself. With this ingrained sense of urgency, you develop a bias for action. Successful people take action rather than talking continually about what they are going to do. They focus on steps they to take immediately. By employing this technique, they concentrate on the things they can do right now to get the results they want and achieve the goals they desire.”
To develop a sense of urgency about your work, make it a habit to do the job now! Pick up the phone and make that call, write that letter, and schedule that appointment. Read those books, listen to those motivational CD’s. Successful people pride themselves on production… lots of it.
Sincerely,
Shihan Randy Holeman
