By “action” we refer to consistent, effective behavior that moves you toward your goal.

To learn the proper steps to take, you can seek out advice from people who have done it before, or you can figure
it out yourself. Procrastination and struggle are energy drainers and
time wasters that will distract you from taking effective action. Procrastination is caused by fear. It doesn’t matter what the fear is exactly, but accepting the fear will relieve you of procrastination.
When we talk about action, many times people leap to the
conclusion that we are suggesting additional action. You may
be thinking “I don’t have time for any additional action.” As the
next example shows, we don’t necessarily mean more action, but
rather different action. Doing more of what is not working for you
is foolishness.
