Hey Everyone,
I am posting because I am cheating myself from actually growing a successful business.

Right now, I am posting because instead of taking action I have focused on 'decluttering' or doing some crap that doesn't intern do anything for my goals or business.

Right now, I am posting because I find myself asking, "Do I really want x? If I really wanted x why is it that I avoid at all costs taking action to get it? I know all the steps to achieve it, so why have not taken action?"

I am exploring the fears I have around my own success, but I just wanted to drop by to post because I saw a great article on taking action... Taking Action is how I went from no clients (last summer) to having so many clients I got to be choosey about which clients I took on. (I quit that gig at the end of summer). Last summer I did 3 specific actions everyday to get clients, and you know what? those actions worked and didn't take that long to execute. Right now, I am not taking any action and also seeing no results.


Awesome articles that I read and had to post...
http://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/05/19/10-overlooked-truths-about-taking-action/
http://startupbros.com/overthinkers-guide-taking-action-complete-guide/

I am struggling with taking real actions, these resource helped put things in prospective for me.
I hope those articles help people...

Another great resource on taking action: (From FastlaneMJ Youtube) - :)


Thanks for reading...
