The Action Trap
I'm going to ask you to do a little exercise: I want you to picture something that you very much want to accomplish in your business but haven't yet.
Make this as clear as you possibly can. See it, feel it, touch it. Make it completely real.
Then say these words to yourself: "I want…." and then describe what you want as clearly and as concisely as possible.
Focus only on this, on nothing else. Take your time until you are clear.
And now that you have a higher level of clarity about what you want in your business, notice how you feel.
Are you more (even if a little) excited, enthusiastic and confident than before? If not, go back and claify that want a little more.
Next, take a minute and write down three things you can do to make your want happen.
It could be anything, but again, like your intended result, make your action steps very specific.
Do these action steps seems doable, achievable?
Can you easily see yourself doing them and having them lead to your ultimate accomplishment?
Are you ready to get started?
Without clear intention, you're just going through the motions.
You're putting a plan into action with no direction.
When the intention is clear, your feelings are in alignment and the steps you need to take seem both obvious and simple.
You effortlessly move towards realizing the intention you created.
Don't focus on action first, focus on intention.
Until your intention is clear, your actions have no context, no direction, no meaning.
Strengthen your intention and your actions will naturally lead to the results you want.
