One thing you'll immediately notice about successful people is that they tend to take action to implement their plans and ideas at once. You'll also notice that unsuccessful people are just the opposite rarely taking action on anything. They spend huge amounts of their resources studying and analyzing things, but when it comes time to actually do something they just can't bring themselves to do it. And they don't get much help from the people around them because the people around them aren't successful either, but they have all kinds of opinions. Yet unsuccessful people continue to seek the thoughts and opinions of those around them when they should be making their own decisions.



The uninformed might think that successful people follow the behavior pattern of ready, fire, aim. They can take actions so quickly and easily because their always looking for opportunities that fit into their plans and they aren't afraid to implement them. They can do that because they always have a clear plan for what they're trying to accomplish.

The best time to take action on something that will move you closer to success is always now. The biggest reason you aren't able to do that though is because you focus on information rather than the facts. To do that you must identify what you do know and what you don't know. Make sure what you do know is fact based and not information based. This confuses most people because they can't differentiate between information and facts. Facts are based on undeniable truths and root causes.

You know something isn't a fact if it's based on thoughts and perceptions. It's very easy to take those thoughts and perceptions and turn them into realities. You may have information about outside circumstances and people, but the fact is only you determine your actions and outcomes.

You can change your unsuccessful behaviors. Identify one thing you could do right now that would help you to succeed. Then no matter how big or how small that actions is take it.

Commit to taking at least one action each and every day that will take you closer to success. Start thinking in terms of actions and outcomes rather than projects and challenges. You manifest what you focus on, so focus on the ultimate outcome you want and the specific actions you must take to get it.
