Actually do it

It's great to know precisely what you want, and why you want it, and how to make it happen, but that's not enough. You have to actually do it.

It's helpful to learn all the skills, techniques, clever tricks and strategies, yet just knowing all those things won't make anything happen. You have to make it happen.

You can read books, watch videos, go to seminars, hire a coach and do all sorts of other things to prepare yourself. Yet you also must put all that knowledge and preparation into action, day after day after day.

Achievement happens only when you actually do it. And the only time you can actually do it is now.

Complaining about how bad you've had it, or how unfair life is, doesn't count. Waiting until conditions are perfect doesn't count.

Focused, purposeful, positive, effective action is what counts. And right now is the time to actually do it.
