Afraid to take a leap? Just do it!

June 3, 2009

If there is anything I have learned in my past about internet marketing, or any entrepreneurial venture for that matter, is to “Just Do It!”

Lets give this some thought. There are thousands of quotes about this topic, here are just a few of them:

  • An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea. Buddha

  • You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action. Tony Robbins
  • I never worry about action, but only inaction. Winston Churchill
  • There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction. John F. Kennedy

I can go on with tons more quotes, but I am sure you get the point.

Every had to start somewhere, and just like every other new internet marketer, they had to learn the ropes. They had to TAKE ACTION! Action breeds learning! Inaction breeds stagnation!

By taking no action, no real learning process occurs. Doing IS learning and the more you do, the more you learn, the better you become, the closer you get to your goal. It’s a hard lesson to overcome, but one that essential to success.

So, everyone, take a chance, persue your dreams.

In the words of  a great Internet Marketing duo, who I have had the chance to work with, Justin and Chuanna Brooke,

“All it takes is action and action builds confidence”.

Do you have a story about how you took action and succeeded?

Hi Pam,

Another great post, “I never worry about action, but only inaction – Winston Churchill” what a classic.

And that may be one of the key things that I learn from Justin and Chaunna is that all the knowledge in the world is useless if you don’t take action!

Keep up the great work,

Thanks for this highly motivational post !

As Shakespeare’s said: “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt”.

Taking action makes things happen.

Keep up the good work :-)

Very true Pam, .
I totally resonate with this post. Having a hard drive full of half developed ideas is not making any money for me until its “Out There”

I’m learning now that you can always make it better while its out there, but waiting till its perfect wight take forever.
Thanks for hitting the nail on the head
