Thanks for your comments, Angela! You’re absolutely right. We need to continually take steps towards our goals…even when we don’t feel motivated to do so. The action (and the results you start getting) will then bring on the motivation. In other words, don’t wait for “the right time” or for when you feel up to it. Do it now! Tomorrow may never come.

This is a fantastic post that addresses one of the biggest challenges we face when starting out, and most of us don’t even realize it. I believe something similar is addressed when we talk about the Law of Attraction – don’t some of those rules say that, in addition to positive thinking, you must take some sort of positive action in the direction that you want to go, just as though it were already happening? I think it’s the same principle, and it really does work. You spelled it out perfectly. If we continuously take steps towards reaching our goals, we greatly enhance our chances for success.

A couple of days ago I’ve read something like “Don’t just be a thinker, think and act!”.

That is the plain truth.

Glad to hear this message has provided a bit of inspiration and motivation to take action.

@Mason – Hey, I love those 2 posts of yours. Great stuff in there!

@Mike – I have no doubt that action trumps talent, skill or good hair (no pun intended!).

@Tei – Another great thing about approaching friends and family is that when you’re starting out, self-confidence can be an issue. Approaching those you know helps boost confidence while giving you some great samples and possible testimonials.
