What Do You Want

Schedule Your Plan of Action

Now you have developed a solid and workable plan and it is time to coordinate exactly how it is you intend to implement your strategy. Some things will need to be put into action immediately while others will need to be scheduled at a time when their implementation will be the most effective. This schedule of activities is something you need to work out before actually taking action on your strategy. Coordinating your activities like this is crucial to getting the most out of your efforts!

Get Off Your 'Duff'

You know what you want and you have created a plan to accomplish your objectives therefore now is the time for taking action and implementing your plan! This step can be difficult for many because they are so terrified of failing they sometimes choose to not even try!

If Knocked Down Get Back Up

There will likely be 'bumps' in the road and obstacles you did not count on, so count on them and resolve to not give up! Maintaining the ambition that started you down this path is vitally important and it begins with believing in yourself and what it is you are pursuing!

Keep Open Your Eyes, Ears & Mind

Take advantage of the obstacles you encounter by learning what went wrong so that you will not set yourself up for the same difficulties later. This is all a normal part of the process so 'go with it' and take comfort in knowing you are increasing your own knowledge pool and getting better every day! Also proactively go out and seek additional information about your niche or strategy from others who have more experience and/or success. Your learning will be ongoing so plan accordingly and be open to change.
