Do more of the things you know you should.
Ever wonder what the difference is between successful people and unsuccessful people? It is not physical. Both people look very similar on the surface. If you cut them open you would find all the same things inside both. You would also discover that both groups highly dislike being cut open.
The difference between successful, accomplished people and those who never progress is not in knowledge. Everyone knows what to do:
- Eat right
- Exercise
- Get plenty of sleep
- Work hard
- Network
- Study
- Show Up
- Volunteer
- Collaborate
- Save
- Invest
- Rise early (to get the worms)
- Take risks
- Read
- Follow up
- Wear deodorant
The Difference
Successful people do what they know they should do. They act. They make. They move. They try. They try again.
The unaccomplished know what to do, but don’t.
Don’t be a don’ter.
The Cycle
The more you do the more you will accomplish. And the more you do the more you will be inspired to do. It is a virtuous cycle. Get yourself into the positive feedback loop of action and you are sure to get more action. (And who doesn’t want more action?)
Getting Started
Make a list of the things you know you should do today. The whole list can be written in 30 seconds. 5 minutes if you have a slow pen. Then simply spend your day doing the things on your list.
Key Takeaway
Take action. Do what you already know you should. It’s the not-so-secret secret to success.
