There was a saying that i’ve first read when i was about 7 years old

“A journey of a thousand Miles, Begins with a Single Step”.

And in the course of my life, there alot alot of “First steps” that i find myself, happy and there are aslo some steps i took that left me disappointed. But this is true that, we should always be willing to take the first step, and what we need to be careful of is to think carefully of where to go, and what direction we heading.

I totally agree with you. In order to become successful we have to take action. As a result we will grow personally which definitely means that we will challenge ourselves more and more.

Btw. it’s funny how you mention that you need to go the extra mile. Just wrote about it in my most recent article

Agreed one hundred percent, the only time things have ever worked for me is when I take the initiative, be it guest posting, going after a big client or whatever else… good post!

I have to agree Rebecca here. I envy all of you guys, who seem to have so clearly set goals. Most of the times, all I know is what I DON’T want. I am very often paralyzed by the bloody paradox of choice. Maybe you’re right, maybe it is better a “shoot-and-aim” approach, and seeing how it goes. Great post, thank you.

It’s a good addition the old adage ‘slow and steady wins the race’. I like taking that adage when I want to plan strategies. It is very important to have initiative included.

another great, simple-but-true article from you!

and also, many thanks for sharing that “Glen’s tips” above!
I guess I fall too many times under that ‘reading-too-much-and-lack-action’ mistake, and after this, I’ll try to fix this, and just DO it!
