The easiest way to do that, and even though I say it's easy, it doesn't seem so easy. Is the very first step towards your intention or towards your goal. You got to break it down to the tiniest little thing. Usually in my experience, when I'm dealing with people, it's like, okay, let's get on Google and Google the business or the arena or the thing that you're even talking about. Let's see what else is out there, right? Competition or possibilities or other ideas or other strategies. Let's see what's out there in the world under the umbrella that you're talking about. And they go, well, that's it. That's all I need to do. Yeah, that's the first action. That's it. The biggest problem I have with people is when I say, give me your first action, they can't even give that to me. They're giving me something from, you know, they'll give me a year from now, and I want it. No, very, very first action. So if I, for example, want to get to those picnic tables over there, what's my first action? My first action is not to, you know, look at the weather. My first action is just, hey, take a simple step, one step over there. That's it. One step begets another. All right, so that's going to be your first and most important thing, One action that you can take. Now, here's the thing. You've got to commit to the action, but one action, and then you take the next step. The reason we procrastinate is very often, again, we're in our comfort zone, but also fear. And fear, my friends, is overcome by action. You take that one action, you go, wow, I'm still alive. I feel good about that action. And all of a sudden you go, I think I want to take another step. So if you feel like you're procrastinating, if you feel like you're in a rut, a bit of a comfort zone, get yourself to take one simple first action and start to fly.
