This post is for the action faking bench warmers. If you're already making a bajillion dollars with your Cryptozoo NFT tokens, this post is not for you.
Maybe you've just read Unscripted or another book. You've intellectually grasped the value of this life. But you've done absolutely nothing to put it into action.
I see a bunch of people stuck in the action faking and bench warming phase of the journey. I sat on the bench for years. This is something that would have helped me in this phase.
Here's something that you can do TODAY to break out of this trap. When you finish reading this post, I want you to immediately jump into action. No excuses.
Think about an event that you'd like to host. Purchase a Meetup subscription. And start promoting it.
I started a workout plus meditation group, because I want to work out and meditate at 9am on Saturday each week in a park. And I get to proactively help combat the loneliness epidemic instead of just passively complaining that no one goes outside anymore on social media (lol).
And guess what? I get to practice marketing, sales, client retention, and figuring out the best use of my time. Am I cringe? Probably. Do I care? Increasingly less. Don't let fear of failure stop you from ever starting. If you've a few of MJ's books, you likely don't need to keep passively consuming informational content or motivational books. You need to jump into action in the simplest way possible.
My experience of running one of these is that a handful of people showed up, gave me a 5/5, and referred their friends. It felt good to do something constructive and helpful. This win helps train my brain that this is a good, useful path, forming a self reinforcing feedback loop.
So what are you waiting for?
