If you’re about to take action, on something positive for yourself or your family, then a good suggestion is to not think about it, just do it! 

Because if you hesitate and stop and think about what you’re about to do, your mind can play tricks on you and can conjure up thoughts on why you shouldn’t be doing what you’re about to do. It may plant negative thoughts on why you may not succeed and literally dissuade you from being successful.

So my suggestion to you, is if you’re about to take action, just do it and don’t think, just act! You’ll achieve so much more,

One caveat to this however, is as long as what you’re about to do isn’t anything dodgy or illegal of course. Then it IS right to think beforehand about what you are about to do!

If the content is King, then the delivery is the Emperor!

What do I mean by this?

Well, you could have the most amazing content to present to your peers, audience, or someone in business, and your delivery is awful, the recipient won’t “buy” or take on board your message. They may appreciate what you are trying to convey to them, but the delivery of the message is what inspires them to take action on what you are trying to get across to them.

I have seen countless examples of great content, plans or ideas, but the delivery of that information has been so poor that the message has been lost or diluted.

So the delivery is AS important as the content itself and more often than not, the delivery is not given the importance that it deserves.

If you manage to make BOTH the content and delivery first class, then you are bound to succeed in whatever endeavour you are trying to achieve. As the recipients of your content will be enthused to take some sort of action based on your message.

So spend time on your delivery. Ensure it is of high quality. So your King of Content and Emperor of Delivery are standing shoulder to shoulder in harmony.

You need to come to this realization…

It IS easy to fail in business. Especially without the right training and guidance!

You can end up running in circles, like when in a maze…and wondering why things aren’t working and how do you find the right path?

Most good training and guidance costs money and you then have to learn it AND apply it!

This takes effort and determination!

Rarely do you get good business guidance without monetary exchange, but when you do get it from a mentor or expert, grasp it. Use it. Put it into practice!

They had to gain experience and knowledge to get that information. They are now passing it onto you, so don’t waste this knowledge.

I dislike what some people put out on social media making out it is easy to build and grow a business. That is simply not true!

Building anything such as a business, or even a relationship, your health or anything else that is worthwhile, takes guidance, effort, and determination.

But in the beginning, it is always the knowledge and training to get you out of the maze!

Always remember, every professional was first an amateur. They had to master their craft (whatever that craft was) and persist using dedication and commitment. Only after significant time was applied (and this could be months and most likely years of effort) did they perfect their craft to be called “professional”.

So why do we want and expect instant results when we are attempting something new? It takes patience and time to get it right. Enough time consistently and persistently applied in order to master your craft.

So don’t get frustrated when you haven’t mastered your craft early on. Just more time, persistence and dedication is needed, and you will become professional.

If you attempt something but don’t succeed, is it failure?

NO! It certainly is not failure!

It is ONLY failure if you just give up and never try again.

If you don’t succeed the first time you attempt something, you should learn from that experience and use it to be better prepared the next time that you try!

So the lesson is, you are not a failure by failing to succeed, you just have got to keep trying until you prevail

Don’t fret, stress and get disrupted by life’s issues. It is life! It’s what life does!

So don’t sweat this stuff. Just deal with each issue as it comes and move forward. Understand it is another of life’s tests you just need to deal with and move on.

So be unflappable when these issues come along. Just shrug the shoulders and deal with it.

Your health will thank you for it!
