taker. What's stopping you from taking action?

00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:15.699
Is it fear? Perhaps you're waiting for the right

00:00:15.699 --> 00:00:17.839
break instead of making your opportunities in

00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.780
life. Or maybe you believe you're not smart or

00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:23.859
talented enough. These negative beliefs are holding

00:00:23.859 --> 00:00:26.539
you back. There's a reason why so many intelligent

00:00:26.539 --> 00:00:29.280
people fail. They tend to overthink everything

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.399
and are often afraid to take risks. If that's

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.479
your case, here are some powerful reasons to

00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.859
become an action taker. Get rid of doubts. If

00:00:37.859 --> 00:00:39.899
you don't take action, you'll keep wondering

00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:42.640
what if. You will struggle with self -doubt and

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.280
question your decisions. Taking action builds

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.020
experience and boosts your confidence. It also

00:00:48.020 --> 00:00:50.640

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:27.519
leads to another. Getting started is often the

00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.120
hardest yet the most important step to success.

00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.340
No matter your plans, you must take action to

00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:37.159
bring them to life. Once you make that first

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.700
step, everything else will fall into place. It

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:43.540
may or may not work out as you hope, but it will

00:01:43.540 --> 00:01:46.900
lead to something new. Think of it as an opportunity

00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:50.299
to grow and learn. Let's say you want to apply

00:01:50.299 --> 00:01:54.060
for a job that sounds perfect for you, you aren't

00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:56.859
quite qualified enough yes it's scary to apply

00:01:56.859 --> 00:02:00.040
but what's really at stake even if you don't

00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.900

what you need to focus on to get a similar job

00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:10.919

00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.500
get results develop your skills whether your

00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:17.620
projects succeed or fail there's always a chance

00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:21.139
to learn new things taking action will help develop

00:02:21.139 --> 00:02:25.050
your skills leading to greater confidence. The

00:02:25.050 --> 00:02:27.289
next time you want to take action on a dream,

00:02:27.469 --> 00:02:30.870
you'll feel better prepared and have more experience.

00:02:31.509 --> 00:02:34.550
On top of that, you'll approach things from a

00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:36.909
new perspective and won't repeat the same mistakes.

00:02:38.150 --> 00:02:40.389
Some people are just better at taking action

00:02:40.389 --> 00:02:42.770
than others. At least, that's how it can often

00:02:42.770 --> 00:02:45.289
seem when you want to take action but can't figure

00:02:45.289 --> 00:02:48.050
out how you should go about it. The truth is,

00:02:48.349 --> 00:02:50.830
you can transform yourself from a thinker to

00:02:50.830 --> 00:02:54.469
a doer using the following three secrets one

00:02:54.469 --> 00:02:58.930
stop waiting for the perfect time the most obvious

00:02:58.930 --> 00:03:00.849
difference between a thinker and someone who

00:03:00.849 --> 00:03:03.669
is a doer is that doers don't worry about waiting

00:03:03.669 --> 00:03:06.509
for the perfect time this is because perfection

00:03:06.509 --> 00:03:09.610
is a myth there is no such thing as the perfect

00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:13.050
time you will always have a full schedule you

00:03:13.050 --> 00:03:15.990
will always have other things to do it is time

00:03:15.990 --> 00:03:19.030
to accept that there is no time like the present

00:03:19.030 --> 00:03:22.169
for whatever you wish to accomplish. So stop

00:03:22.169 --> 00:03:26.129
waiting and start doing instead. Two, write your

00:03:26.129 --> 00:03:28.990
plan down. Many people don't take action now

00:03:28.990 --> 00:03:31.569
because they aren't sure where to start. If your

00:03:31.569 --> 00:03:33.949
plan is quite large, like a career change, it

00:03:33.949 --> 00:03:36.110
can be difficult to know exactly where to start.

00:03:36.310 --> 00:03:38.770
What helps with this is to sit down and make

00:03:38.770 --> 00:03:41.530
an outline of your plan or goal. Break it down

00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:44.449
into smaller, more manageable pieces. Then start

00:03:44.449 --> 00:03:46.389
with the first manageable piece that you can

00:03:46.389 --> 00:03:49.409
do. The first step would be to update your resume

00:03:49.409 --> 00:03:52.949
to apply for new jobs. Seems much more approachable

00:03:52.949 --> 00:03:54.870
than just thinking you want a new career, right?

00:03:55.449 --> 00:03:58.870
Three, overcome your fear. Are you afraid to

00:03:58.870 --> 00:04:01.050
take action now because you don't think you will

00:04:01.050 --> 00:04:03.909
be successful? Or maybe you are afraid that you

00:04:03.909 --> 00:04:06.689
will make mistakes along the way. You aren't

00:04:06.689 --> 00:04:09.550
alone. Most people who aren't doers don't take

00:04:09.550 --> 00:04:11.650
action because they are afraid of what could

00:04:11.650 --> 00:04:14.460
happen. Either way, it's time to overcome these

00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:17.720
fears so that you can take action now. And the

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.279
best way to do this is by recognizing that you

00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.800
are human and that making mistakes is part of

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.399
life. Don't worry about thinking you may fail.

00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:28.480
This is okay, too. Remember that all successful

00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.379
people have had failures, too. This doesn't mean

00:04:31.379 --> 00:04:33.160
they didn't eventually achieve their dreams.

00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.180
Taking action now can seem like a tall order.

00:04:37.610 --> 00:04:39.730
But when you have these three secrets up your

00:04:39.730 --> 00:04:42.850
sleeve, you may find that taking action is easier

00:04:42.850 --> 00:04:45.550
than you originally thought. So if you have big

00:04:45.550 --> 00:04:47.889
plans for your life, don't sit around waiting

00:04:47.889 --> 00:04:50.350
for them to happen on their own. Take action

00:04:50.350 --> 00:04:54.170
today and make your dream a reality. Thank you
