Success Equals Knowing How To Take Action

Share this post

“An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied.”

Arnold Glasow

How many great ideas never see the light of day because no one acted? Every invention, innovation, or breakthrough we admire started with one thing: action.

What idea have you been sitting on, waiting for the “right time” or “perfect clarity”? There is no perfect time. Action is the spark that turns ideas into reality.

What’s the one small step you can take today to move your idea forward? Fear of failure is normal, but ask yourself, “What’s the worst that can happen?”

In my experience, having regret for not trying is almost always worse than a stumble. Take action!

If you’d like some practical tips on how to actualize this, check out the longer podcast version below.
