Taking Enough Effective Action That is Accurate

Effective accurate action is what you must demand, not just action alone. In last week's article, a very good article according to the responses, I made a major error. The headline used a word incorrectly. I hate when I do something like that.

Act Two:

Not only must you take effective action, the action taken must be accurate and consistent.

Did I mention endurance? If you are working on a project/business that is worth working on (the only kind, right?), then you must to determine to endure and to adjust until you win. If your proclamations end with "well right? I hope so; it should? Don't you think so?" then you have not "sold out" to the idea yet and the reservation in your heart and mind is spilling out of your lips and tripping up your feet.

You must get the reservations out of the way before you invest time and energy. And I mean really get them out of the way. Don't go until you are determined that what you are doing is worth doing.

When you determine that what you are engaged in is worth your effort, and I mean really determine it, then it is up to you to maintain and protect that vision.

Many times, the failure to commit is your spirit man telling you that this project or business is not right for you. But, most of the time, the people that I see that never commit, never pay the price, never determine and never really accomplish anything.

Since I believe that everyone is meant to and can accomplish great things, it cannot be that some of our spirits stop us and continuously cause us to vacillate. No! It is just our own fear that we have not overcome, yet. It is the fear that we will not succeed; thus, we never start anything or instead we dream of accomplishment so great that "any human being would have failed at that, so it can't be my fault!" Otherwise, this is known as self-sabotage.

Let me give you an example: I am trying to help a young man build a business. The market is nearly unlimited. The offer is perfect. He has financial backing - mine. He has training - mine and my friends.

But that is not enough.

Success will only come to this venture if he determines, and I mean determines, to take enough accurate effective action with the spizzerinctum (the will to succeed) necessary to overcome every hurdle that he encounters. He (and you) must jump over them, push them down, find another way but he cannot and you cannot quit.

In addition, he must determine to learn, become relevant, and remain relevant by continuing to learn, meet new people, and overcome objection.

It is hard to build a business or to go to the next level in your business. It is hard but it is possible and worthwhile.

But back to fear and to commitment. If he cannot - if you cannot - determine way down deep inside of you that this idea/project/business/marriage/relationship is worth having, fighting for, crying about, and spending just about all of your time on until it is done, then you are not ready to start.

The question for you today: What are you doing that needs adjustment, improvement, more effort, more accuracy, and more endurance?

Find it. And change it and then commit to it or stop.

Thanks for Reading.
