Why do so many aspiring entrepreneurs fail to take the action required to build and grow their business into a success?
Have you struggled with moving beyond the “wishing”, “planning”, “learning” and “wanting” stages into a full-blown, massive action phase in your own business?
Taking action is one of the most important elements to success.
In fact, you can make a couple of false starts and STILL come out far ahead of others if you are an action-oriented entrepreneur.
Why?
Taking action results in massive feedback from your market, and that gets you once giant step closer to achieving success.
Entrepreneurs Take Action…Here’s Why
No amount of planning, questioning or passive learning will give you the same, instant feedback that you get from taking action. When you take action, one of 3 things happen…all positive:
- You meet or exceed your objective…in which case the feedback is clear, you can now double-down and scale your small success into massive success
- You see some elements of success and some aspects that held you back. The vast majority of your results will fall into this category. The key here is to recognize what did work and fine-tune what didn’t and then have the patience to go back and try again until you find a combination that leads to reaching your objectives
- You do not get the result you thought at ALL. Rarely does this happen, but even if it does, this is not FAILURE…but a huge learning experience. Make sure you get to the bottom of why it didn’t work. By learning why, you get the feedback you need to evolve and work your way toward ultimate success.
How To Get Unstuck And Become An Action Taker
If action is indeed one of the staples of becoming a successful online entrepreneur, how do you move from paralysis today to becoming a much more aggressive action taker…even when you believe it may not be in your nature?
Two major obstacles to taking action are uncertainty and doubt, if you can just learn to overcome uncertainty and doubt then you will have flipped the switch toward becoming a more frequent action taker in your business.
There are only really two ways to increase certainty and eliminate doubt —
1) Increase the pain associated with NOT taking action to be much larger than taking action — this helps push you over the edge and gets you taking the first steps. Belief and certainty can flourish with action and accomplishment
2) Modeling others such that you “trick” your brain into believing you can achieve your desired outcome.  This makes total sense as our first years of development as humans are entirely based on modeling, it remains one of the most powerful techniques for convincing your brain that something you have not yet achieved is achievable. Unfortunately, we rarely pay attention to who we model and often they do not have the proper effect on our brain.
We have used both of these in our lives to overcome procrastination, get unstuck, take massive action and achieve results beyond many others who sit on the sidelines paralyzed by uncertainty.
Are you ready to give this a try?
Begin today by building a set of images and thoughts around staying where you are and the pain associated with being in the same place (or actually losing momentum) 1-month, 6-months, 1-year from now.
Imagine how negative your life could be if you don’t step up and make it different.
Then, jump on YouTube, attend conferences, study your hero’s in business and talk to successful business people who have reached levels higher than you even aspire to reach…these will become your models.
The more time you model success, the more you will be training your brain to be certain of your own success and the obstacles to taking action will be removed.
It’s up to you, this really works.
