Once you’ve got the plan in place, do it.

Or as W. Clement Stone wrote

“Do It Now!”

in his book The Success System that Never Fails. If you haven’t
read that book. I encourage you to read it. It has some great insights
into personal development and how to really develop a Success
System that Never Fails.

If you don’t know who W. Clement Stone is he co-authored
Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, along with several
other books with Napolean Hill of Think and Grow Rich fame.
W. Clement Stone built the Combined Insurance Company of America which
by 1979, exceeded $1 billion in assets. It was later merged to form Aon
Corporation and Combined Insurance Company of America is one of the
largest subsidies.

As the Nike logo says “Just Do It!”

Take Action

There are no substitutes to it.

Taking action, even if you do it wrong, or screw it up is much more
powerful than sitting on the sidelines and watching life happen to you.

As one of my mentors’ Mike Litman says,

You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going

I’ve started to use that motto or mantra, along with W. Clement Stone’s
idea of

Do It Now!

Yup, that’s all there is to it.
