Today's Positive Habit...Take Action





I am amazed at how many people fail to simply take action to correct problems in their lives. Nike's slogan used to be "Just Do It," it was a great slogan.

Here are some examples:

You have a Health Issue. Don't rely on your doctor only, get involved in your own recovery.Be proactive.The simple fact that you are getting this email means that you have access to the internet, the most powerful source of information the world has ever known.

1. Go to Google and search your illness, you can find research reports, users groups, and other powerful information about your illness.

2. Never accept that you cannot fully recover, no matter what illness you have, there is somebody in the world that has conquered it. Look at Lance Armstrong, his cancer was so bad that his doctors gave him little chance to survive....yet he did, and he went on to win the Tour De France.

3. Go to online bookstores, or your library and find books on your illness, buy them and read them. Become an expert. The first question I ask when someone tells me about an illness they have is, "how many books have you read on the subject?"

You are having financial problems.

Again, take immediate action. Go to the experts on Success, read books by Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Napolean Hill, and others who can teach you how to be successful and overcome financial problems.

When I used to work in the corporate world, I had a question that I asked every person who applied for a job. "Please tell me the titles of some of the personal success books you have read in the past year." It was amazing how many people replied..." I have never read a personal success book."

You want to start a new business

Don't re-invent the wheel, find people who have become successful in the field you are interested in. Study how they did it, in many cases they will have written books on how they succeeded. Once you have learned how they built their business, you simply have to copy their model and apply it to your business. This is perhaps one of the most powerful techniques for success...yet few people are aware

Remember you are the only one that has total control of your thoughts, attitudes and actions! Make it a habit to "take action."
