Two Little Words

Words are powerful tools, but sometimes less is better. We often use a wide variety of words to talk about our plans, our hopes, our dreams, our intentions, and our businesses. And, while it is critical to bring clarity and purpose to all that we do, there comes a time for action. Sometimes you have to simply "do it". Two little words that carry a big impact. Taking action may be the greatest differentiator between success and failure. Depending on your mindset, the words "do it" can either energize you or stress you out. "Let's go" or "Let's wait" -- which camp do you fall in?

Getting into the habit of taking action helps us learn -- in real time -- what works and what doesn't. The "do" gives us actual feedback that we can measure and if necessary, make proper adjustments to improve our future action. Otherwise we're always guessing -- and it may just be the fear of the unknown that keeps us on the sideline.

So make the best plan possible and then take action on it. The more you do it, the better you'll get. Do it!
