Most of the problems in life stem from one cause: we can’t get ourselves to take action. It’s not that we don’t know what to do. The problem is getting ourselves to follow through and do it.
Success is not determined by genetics. It’s about persistent, consistent action.
Action is the key. You can be the most talented person in the world or have the best ideas, yet still if
you do not take action you will achieve nothing.
Having dreams and passion is not enough. If you wish to achieve something, don’t let life just “happen” to you. Set goals and take action.
Balancing Action and Reflection
Creating success involves creating and a delicate and ongoing balance between two somewhat opposing forces – reflection of where you are now and action of pushing toward where you need to go.
Entrepreneurial Creativity
Entrepreneurial creativity is about coming up with innovative ideas and turning them into value-creating profitable business activities.
Entrepreneurial creativity = creativity × entrepreneurial action…

The Foundation of Leadership: Achieving Extraordinary Results
By: Brian Tracy
Ask yourself every day, “What is the one thing that I and only I can do, that if done well, will make a real difference to my company?” Whatever your answer, go to work on that….
Put Your Business Plan Into Action
A business plan is an essential part of developing a successful business. However, it’s of no use if it just stays as a plan on paper. Your business plans need to be implemented and this requires you taking action. But not just any old actions where you fall in the trap of keeping yourself extremely busy. You need to consistently take the actions that are critical to the success of your business…
Fortune Favors the Brave
By: Brian Tracy
Boldness is a necessary part of courage but it must be a boldness based on an intelligent assessment of the potential risks and rewards. The wonderful nature of boldness is that, properly directed, it builds the habit of courage in the person who practices it.
Act Boldly in Every Situation
In my experience, any virtue translated into action leads almost invariably to positive results. This applies to integrity, persistence, courtesy, love and courage. I’ve always liked the advice of an old man to his grandson. “Act boldly and unseen forces will come to your aid.”
Take a Leap of Faith
Perhaps the most obviously important part of courage is the courage to step out in the face of uncertainty. Every great venture in the history of man has begun with faith and a giant leap into the unknown.
General Douglas MacArthur said, “There is no security in life, only opportunity.” The creed of Frederick The Great, one of history’s most successful leaders was, “Audacity, audacity-always audacity.”
Launch With No Guarantees
A 12-year study of successful entrepreneurs conducted by Babson College concluded that the only thing they had in common was the willingness to launch, to step out in faith. Once they had started, they learned the lessons they needed to succeed. Many of them ending up successful in completely different businesses from where they started.
Dare To Go Forward
Dare to go forward. Successful companies are invariably those that continue to research, develop, experiment and introduce new products and services – even during the deepest recessions. Successful executives are those who are continually stretching themselves to move out of the comfort zone, to face the twin fears of failure and rejection and to move forward in spite of them.
Action Exercises
Here are two ways to develop greater boldness in your work and personal life.
First, just do it! Step out in faith! If you think of some action you can take to improve your life, give it a try. You may be surprised.
Second, when in doubt, act with audacity. Audacity may get you into trouble but even more audacity will get you out. Go for it!
To put this into context, success means not looking at the negetive points of every venture you take. Daring to go forward when all the others are still laid back is good. Successful people take the initiative to start something. Entreprenuers are people that I respect. They make a difference to their lives instead of waiting for opportunities to pop put. Opportunities will come when we take the 1st step. Do not be changed by the environment, you change the environment. Dare yourself, give 110%. Thermometer or thermostat? You choose.
