Have you ever dreamed up the best business or money-making idea, but it never seemed to get off the ground? I’m not speaking about the fact that it wasn’t a success. I am talking about if you never put your idea into action!! Or, you have a weightloss goal of 40 lbs in six months only to find that six months have passed with a gain of 20 lbs more? I’m guessing that is because you didn’t put your mind and body into action!! The dictionary’s first definition of action is listed below:ac•tion - 1. The state or process of acting or doing.The state or process of acting or doing!! If you sit on your bump for months and days after you first had your idea, then you are not in the state of action or doing!I’m sure you mentally go over the list of the following excuses as to why you do not execute the majority of your goals. The biggest problem is that the paralysis isn’t only limited to our financial sector of life, but it dominates in plenty of others as well. Please review how far analysis paralysis actually reaches out into our lives, hobbies, and goals.• I can’t start my business because I do not have enough money.• I think if I wait for better time then my business will be more successful.• I will start my diet when I get a raise, and I will be able to afford the healthy food.• I will take a vacation once I win the lottery.Those are only examples, but I am sure you can see that those statements are very limiting in our lives. They all present very valid reasons, but they can lead to paralysis. You never call yourself to action because you continue to wait for the perfect timing to move forward. Bill Gates of Microsoft fame has to be the Golden Boy of Action. He released several versions of Windows in their most complete format as possible, and he continued to tweak them long after release. Why do you think there are so many Service Packs and updated platforms (95,98,ME,XP, & Vista) to date. I believe it’s because Mr. Gates had not released his “perfect” visionary form of Windows. I honestly thank Bill for going forward with his idea instead of waiting for the “perfect” time or finished product. If he had waited, our first working version of Windows may only be coming onto the market in 2014. Who knows?If you have an idea, a desire to have a better body, or the need to take a vacation, then I believe you should act now!!1. Lay claim to your idea, goals, and dreamsa. I want to start a small café in my neighborhoodb. I want to lose 40 lbs before my birthday.c. I want to take my family to Disneyland.2. Plan, Plan, Plan & Act, Act, Act.a. I am writing a business plan for my café businessb. I am attending workout class at the YMCA every other day.c. I am saving an extra $60 per week for our vacation.3. Remain consistent through the good times and the bad times.a. Even though I have been denied twice for a biz loan, I will continue to submit my business plan and loan apps for review.b. I’ve lost 23 lbs before I hit a plateau two weeks ago, but I have not missed a workout or ate fast food.c. I had to use $80 from our vacation fund for a family emergency, but we are still going to Disneyland.4. Enjoy your accomplishments!a. My loan was approved, and my café will open for business next month.b. I’ve lost 60 lbs, and I’ve ran my first 2k race last week.c. We enjoyed our trip to Disneyland, and we are making plans for our next vacation.Stop limiting yourself and start living the life that you deserve! Begin claiming good things and speak them into reality for yourself. Once you plan and take action, you will see how things manifest over time because you remained consistent. Enjoy yourself, your life, & your loved ones because you only have one shot at this lifetime!!Much love,Nikki
Thank you so much for sharing how claiming the good things that our God has provisioned for us is an active mission in your life right now. I've heard of Michael's show, and I believe I have only heard it once. However, I am definitely going to tune in to learn more from his Living Your Dreams segment. I am so happy that you are taking the steps in faith to follow your Spirit.
Wow! You make a very good point about struggling with two jobs trying to make it. I'm sure we can step out in faith and make it as well.
Thank you for sharing sistah! Much love success in your business and may your life be filled with abundance.
Truer words have never been spoken/written. I am a big fan of the Micheal Baisden show and everyweek he does a segment called "Living Your Dreams". He encourages people to get out of their daily grind of the 9 to 5 and pursue their dreams of whatever their entrepreneurial spirit is leading them to do. So, for the last year, I kept listening to this show and liking what I was hearing but saying "I don't know what my dream is." Then I realized, that I do have a dream. My dream and my goal is to be able to stop teaching and be at home with my daughters full time and not have to worry and stress about us trying to make it on a my hustands income alone.
A lot of people are so caught up in fear, that we make excuses. Yes, we believe in God and trust him and have faith. But we are so scared that we can't trust our faith the step out on it and try to make something happen. It's been a struggle to make it with 2 steady jobs/paychecks with the price of gas, food, housing, etc. But the thought of quitting a job to follow my dream, no attain my dream is a bit frightening. But this time, I am going about attaining it. I have a plan. Not only have I put on paper so that I can see it, but I spoken it out loud and told my relatives and closest friends what I want to do. In the past 2 weeks have gone about researching the best way to start the business that I have imagined for the last 18 months. I believe joining this community is also a step in the right direction. I can truly say that claiming good things and speaking them into reality is the best advice a person can follow. I know it's working for me!
