Taking Action – Do Things Differently
It is a New Year and we are off to a strong start. You may be excited about what 2012 holds for you, and you also may be thinking about doing things a bit differently in the New Year in order to end up with some different results.
If you are serious about success then YOU need to take action! You need to get out of your own way and that can mean any number of things, including doing things differently. Here are some of the questions I look at myself as part of having a stronger and more successful year….
Where have you been stuck?
What behaviors or characteristics are holding you back from moving forward?
What is it that you know you need to do differently? Specifically?
What do you want/need to do more of? Less of?
How can you align what you do each day with your top priorities?
In what ways do you want this year to be different than last year?
Different results means different action. We all know that, but it is not what we know that moves us forward… it is all about what we DO!! Make a commitment and then take action to make it happen!! You can do this!!Be in it to win it! Whatever it takes, right? You can have the best year of your entire life! What would that look like? What would that do for you?
It really helps to be honest about where you are and think about where it is you most want to go. It can be too easy to get lost in the good feelings about what is possible and that is great, but do think about taking time to plan out how you will fulfill on those possibilities. Focus and determination are great places to start and can help you maintain what you start in January, all year long.

Helen,
What a great post and a solid reminder that deciding to take action and actually taking action are two totally different things.
I love the saying three little birds were sitting on a window. One decided to fly away. How many birds were left?
Three. Deciding to fly away and actually leaving the window sill are two ver y different things!
