Turn Your Thinking into Action for a Brighter Future

Think about this scenario: Would you sit on your couch sipping a cup of tea and eating a shortbread cookie while your house burned around you? No, you would run out into the street as fast as you could, and you would not stop to think about it. Your purpose and intention would be clear; you would not care what you looked like, what you left behind, or which door led you to safety.

With many situations in business, we take too much time considering all the options and “getting ready to get ready” before we get busy with the action we need to take to make things happen. Reflection, contemplation, and planning are important—very important—and yet they are useless if not followed by action. Action is the power tool that builds hope and desires into reality. Don’t get stuck in the quick-drying cement thinking phase; get into action.

Recognize that it is action that gives you evidence that something is right for you. Make sure you are chipping away at your action items, checking tasks off your list of things to do, and consistently taking steps toward your desires. Build your dream business one brick at a time, one day at a time—with actions, not only with thoughts. Make action a priority and watch your brighter future emerge.


To Your Brighter Future,
