Actions to achieve goals

Taking Massive Action

Defining your goals gives you clarity and the motivation to reach them. However, it’s massive action that ultimately helps you achieve them.

Massive action means taking full ownership of everything involved in accomplishing your goal. This includes your failures, bad decisions and problems. It means no more making excuses for why you can’t follow through with your action plan. It means being deliberate with your movements and connecting with your goals on an emotional level.

But what should your massive action plan involve to ensure you achieve results and reach success?

1. Acquire knowledge. Are you one of those people who pause from reading to look up a word you don’t know? If you are, that says a few things about you. First, you’re thirsty for knowledge. It also reveals that you’re not ashamed to admit to yourself when you don’t know something. And most importantly, you take action to educate yourself before proceeding. It should apply to more than just reading, but anytime you feel that your lack of knowledge, training or skill gets in the way of you staying on track and reaching your dreams.

2. Don’t waste time. Begin today. Excusing that you have all the time in the world takes you off course. You end up in places you weren’t meant to go. You find yourself surrounded by people who don’t bring you closer to achieving your goals. And before you know it, you’ve missed opportunities and aren’t any closer to bringing your dreams into fruition. Stay focused!

3. Don’t fear failure. Your relationship with failure will determine the heights of your successes. The fear of failure can be debilitating. However, from defeat you can gain experience, knowledge and the lessons that teach you about your character, and what it takes to succeed the next time you try again. Don't be afraid of failure or move on from failure without maximizing the benefits
