Action. The New To-Do.

Don’t just put stake in the ground, you got to stake your claim.

Stand up for what you believe in, act upon the decisions you make.

Seth Godin recently talked about Making Decisions.

As Seth said, “not make a decision is making a decision.” Same goes for not acting upon it.

It takes guts to not only have an opinion or make the decision but to act upon it. You’re putting yourself out there for skepticism, ridicule, failure. Or all three.

Learn from the mistakes. They happen whether you do anything or not.

Successful people make decisions and run with it. If it doesn’t work out of the gate, they make adjustments, fine tune their approach or revise their original position.

But  the one thing they all do?

They act.

(I totally wrote this after watching a very inspirational VH-1 Behind The Music on 50 Cents. That man is a true American Hustler. I wouldn’t step in the way of him and his next goal, that’s for sure. Then I read Seth’s post and was shamed into writing something less verbose than my usual fair. Could TheBetsy be succinct in a couple of sentences? Yes, I think she can. Cheers.)
