"Starting" Is The New "Continuing"

You don´t have to keep going to finish a project. You just have to start. Doesn´t make any sense? It will in a minute...

Most people know how hard it is to finish a project/achieve a long-term goal. But it´s wrong to think that the solution to a long-term goal is a long-term approach. It isn´t. It always comes down to taking action in the moment, day-by-day.

You need to answer these 2 simple questions every day ( not with words but with action):

1. What´s the fastest first step I can take today to make a progress?
2. What´s the next step I can immediately take?

We all know how motivated we can get after taking the first steps. It´s easy to keep going after you started. But it´s hard to start every day. Especially when you know that the goal is long-term. It feels like this thing will take so much time to get done so that one day doesn´t count that much. Bzzzz!!! Wrong answer!!!

Take action every day - early in the day - very very early and get in the "action-mood" as fast as possible. Write down these 2 questions on a piece of paper NOW and put it in a place near your bed. Wake up...read the questions...answer the first one...take action...answer the second one...take action!

And enjoy your day ;)
