15 77 Tips to Take Action, Stay Focused, and Get Motivated! – CoachHiteU.com
Tip Number 20: Give yourself a reasonable deadline.
Existing commitments may be a valid reason for preventing you from taking
action completely to achieving your goal, but you also have to understand that
these commitments are never going to go away. They are there for life. It is
therefore unreasonable to keep pushing off the need to take a proactive stand
because of your “commitments”.
You have to be firm with yourself and give yourself a deadline. Sometimes, that
is the only way to get things done.
Tip Number 21: Be decisive.
When you do commit yourself to a plan and take action, do be decisive about
it. This will help smooth things up more and make it easier for you to achieve
your goal. If you are in a leadership position, people are unlikely to have faith in
your decision if they can see that you yourself do not have faith in what you are
doing.
You have to show them that you know what needs to be done and you have
the power to help everyone reach their goals – if they follow you.
