Just Do It!

The primary difference between high achievers and low achievers is “action-orientation.” Men and women who accomplish tremendous things in life are intensely action oriented. They are moving all the time. They are always busy. If they have an idea, they take action on it immediately.

It is well said that, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.” GOALS! PAGE 45 Examine yourself in terms of your personal inventory of skills, knowledge, talent, education and ability.

What would you be doing each day in order to develop the knowledge and skills you need to be one of the top performers in your field sometime in the future?
