One of my favorite books is "The Book of Five Rings". It was written by Miyamoto Musashi--arguable Japan's greatest swordsman--circa 1645.
One of the passages I love reads, "Do not waste time idling or thinking after you have set your goals."
There are many reasons that people procrastinate after setting their goals. Those reasons include things like fear and old-fashioned laziness. One of the cures for those and many other poisonous reasons is action. Right action.
From books, to research studies, to the internet, I've done a ton of research on goal achievement and it seems to me that most of the time is spent on aspects other than actions steps.
Maybe it's me, but it seems like most of the material on goal achievement primarily focuses other aspects of goal achievement while overlooking the crucial aspect of "action."
It's simple: action. The right action that is.
I have read dozens of books, studies, and scoured the internet doing research on goal achievement. It seems to me that less time is spent on "action steps" than on the other aspects of goal achievement.
But don't get me wrong, there is enough data to prove that focusing on small, consistent action steps is the most crucial component of goal achievement.

The thing to be mindful of is that, for most people, after the setting, writing, and visualizing, they take very little action.
I recently saw a poster with the following phrase on it: "Action. It's always your next move."
I recently saw a poster with that phrase on it. The saying is attributed to Napoleon Hill. Although it is probably paraphrased (After looking through all of my Napoleon Hill material, I couldn't find an exact match), the message is potent.
An article I wrote called "What comes first, action or motivation?", explains how action gives birth to motivation. Although it may seem like it, it's not the other way around . Action is also the key to building momentum. Taking the right action creates strong momentum. Next comes the sense of increased self-efficacy. Then...achievement.
So, find a goal you've been meaning to get to and get on it. Create an ACTION plan. Then get started on the very next next thing that you can do. When you do it, you will have embarked on the path to achieving your goals.
By the way, if you have been or already are working on goal. That's awesome. Keep it going. And who knows? Maybe now is a good time to start on another.
It's time for some action!
Take the right action and eventually, success will be yours.
