Time to read: Action! Action! Action! 46.5 seconds
Today a client (let's call her Jane) told me she was waffling about sending a text to a neighbor to hang out after a frustrating day at work. She wanted the company and feared she was bothering her neighbor or asking for too much. She swallowed the second guessing, sent the text, got an instant "yes!" and enjoyed a glass of wine and her neighbor's companionship. She felt better after a hard day.
What I love about this story is the action orientation. Jane didn't analyze why she was afraid to send the text. She didn't succumb to not sending the text. She simply sent the text and got a result.
Action produces results. Guaranteed.
- You can plan to share a new idea with your boss. Sharing the idea will generate feedback, additional ideas, and energy. Even hearing "no" will generate energy.
- Joining a new club will instantly lead to new relationships and experiences.
- Applying for a job will create an updated resume, interview planning, and momentum even if you don't get the job.
So, make the call, book the trip, send the email, sign up for the class, say the thing. You'll be glad you did.
