TYL #35: Taking Action (Even When You Don't Feel Ready) with Tracy Timm
So far, we’ve covered Steps 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 (uh, duh): choosing a goal, defining your “why,” determining what winning looks like, and figuring out what activities will be your key indicators of success. Last week was Step Four: figuring out what actions are going to move you closer to your goal. We called these activities, “key indicators.” Key indicators are essential to actually moving the “accomplishing process” forward. Passion is great. Vision is great. Goals are great. But without activities necessary to move the needle, nothing gets done. Nothing changes. Nothing gets learned. Nothing moves forward. Nothing gets done without meaningful, measurable, manageable activities. And as you may remember, one of the reasons that we don’t take the meaningful steps toward our goals is because, in actuality, we are afraid to get started. That feeling takes on new meaning in Step 5 of our method of accomplishment.. Step 5 is very, very, very, very simple. Yes, I needed that many “very’s” despite the fact that my Constitutional Law TA in college advised that I never use the word “very” in my writing ever again. Step 5 is doing the things that move the needle. Aka—finally taking some damn action. As Will said during his rant to end all rants, If I know the fuel is in the engine and I know what winning looks like and we have a needle and Iknow what moves the needle… hey, now we’re talkin’ here. Once that’s done, let’s have some fun with it. I think it’s gonna work. If you’ve diligently (or even non-diligently) gone through the last four steps of this process then you have everything you need to accomplish your goals. The last logical step, then, is actually doing the things you need to do to accomplish those goals. In case no one else has shared this with you or you haven’t lived long enough to figure this out, I’m going to give you the secret that’s been evading you and your goals since the beginning of time. It’s a quote from one of my internet favorites, Marie Forleo. It’s simply this: “Insight comes from action, not thought.”
