My Dreams Are Worthless
By Lois M. Jeary (April 2001)
"My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are
impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by
action."
Isn't that one of the most powerful quotes you've ever read?
It was written by a well-known motivational speaker/writer
named Og Mandino.
You can have all the dreams in the world, the best laid plans
and the most organized list of goals you want to achieve --
none of it is worth a hill of beans unless you take action.
It is simple to get caught up in the planning stages, working
to 'perfect' this and organize that until you actually become
paralyzed into doing nothing at all. Others find it easier to
criticize or lay blame on someone or something else.
If your first ad is kind of wishy washy, take the time to learn
how to write a productive ad. If your first web site turns out
to be a bit of a disaster, go find what it takes to improve it
learn how to draw people to your site. Don't just moan and
groan and find someone else to blame.
You will find such a release and sense of excitement once you
take the baby steps (actions) needed to get you to where you
want to go. Each time you accomplish one of the goals you
have set for yourself, take the steps necessary to accomplish
the next one. Keep on challenging yourself -- make each
goal a little more difficult to attain. This will provide the
momentum you need to keep moving forward. You will also
be more focused and less likely to be distracted.
In an online business, we all basically start with a level playing
field. Our learning curves and times may vary, however the
process remains the same. Now it's up to you -- and only you.
Set yourself up to succeed. Understanding what you want to
achieve with an online business is the key. Why are you doing
this? Then set out the steps you will take to get there. Knowing
your goals is like having a road map. Without the map, you
will probably get lost in an area that is unfamiliar to you. Keep
referring to the map (your goals) and you will get to where you
want to go.
The most important thing you can do for yourself is to ACT NOW!
