Episode #183
Momentum starts with one small step—make a call, show up, or sign up—instead of waiting for motivation.
Pair a clear long-term “lighthouse” goal with a near-term “flashlight” next step to guide consistent action.
Deliberate action in the face of fear transforms stumbles into defining moments (e.g., Toastmasters leading to a TEDx application).
Don't wait for the motivation. Create the motivation by taking action.
So you need that lighthouse, but you also need the flashlight. You need both.
It's one thing, one workout, one conversation. Guess what that creates? That creates momentum.
Will you take action when it counts? (27:05)
We all have defining moments in our lives. Sometimes we expect them– like getting married or winning a championship. Other times we don’t– like a death in the family or a surprise promotion.
Will you back down when yours arrives? Or will you face your fear? Take action? Speak up? Move on?
This episode on taking action is the second of a four-part series on defining moments. Find all the episodes at chocolate-salamander-198004.hostingersite.com/DefiningMoments
