How To Take Action
I would suggest starting with the very basics. If you want to get better at something, like playing a sport or growing your business, you need to learn how to do the simple things first. For example, if you're like the kid who wants to play hockey, you gotta learn to skate before you dream of going pro. So, for your business or personal growth, pick a basic skill and practice that.
You shouldn't waste your time making big plans for the future if you don't know how to do the basic stuff yet. It's like planning a fancy skating routine when you haven't even stepped on the ice! So, take it easy with the long-term goals until you get some experience. Work on what you can do right now.
Next, take action immediately! Don't just stand there thinking about what you could do. Get into the game. If you have an idea for a business or a personal goal, start working on it today. Whatever small step you can take, do it. This helps you understand what you actually need to do to reach your goals.
Finally, dive into the actual work. If you want to get good at something, you have to practice doing it over and over. You learn a lot more by doing than just thinking about it. So, if you're learning a new skill or starting a business, get your hands dirty and learn from the real work. It's the best way to see what it really takes to succeed.
