take action

Take the right action by following the right people,
find out who the right people are " Research" and take action.
Learn from successful folks be like them see what they have done and do it " take action"
Learn how to pre-sell,sell & market...."take action"

I think the repetition is helpful. Take action. Never give up.

Serves as motivational advice for some people on this forum.

I got where I am at mostly because I failed at things faster than those around me. From those failures I learned quickly what to do and what not to do. Sure it's more efficient to only take the best action, but I still can't always do that after about 17 years doing IM.

Back when I started there was not a singe expert to lead the way. we all had to do it on our own. It can be done. How bad do you want it?

I don't like 'take action' being the answer to everything.

But when faced with proven income strategies (like offering services) or necessary things for online businesses (e.g. a establishing a web presence) I think its best to take some form of action rather than procrastinating over the little things.

Hope that makes sense...Im tired

"take action" and "do the work" are annoying to me.

I prefer:

"find a mentor" and "work smart, and with guidance"

I agree with Kal and thatkywordguy. Find the right guidance, coach,etc. that will help

I agree, "take action" is played out. Its too open ended.

Direction is the key.

Many newbies are taking action, but unfortunately they are running around
in circles, or worse, stuck like that little robotic vacuum, the Roomba.

They get caught in a corner furiously trying to vacuum through the wall.

Like the Roomba, they end up staying there banging themselves into the corner,
until they either get picked up and positioned in the right direction,
or eventually run out of power.

If someone doesn't know what direction to go in, it doesn't matter how much
effort, or "action" they put in. They will be wasting valuable learning time,
and if not committed enough, end up quitting, or becoming seriously jaded.

Yes, (proper) personal coaching is a time saver, especially if the person is incapable
of self teaching, but it can be quite expensive, particularly with IM.

I prefer to point people in the right direction by asking them a few questions first.
Once I know what the new person is passionate about and capable of doing, I
can then properly send them in the right direction. whether that be a quality thread here
or a really good beginner WSO.

I will however, only give direction to those who are serious
and show some level of commitment...its disheartening and frustrating trying to help
people who don't want to help themselves...on the flip side, its super rewarding to help
someone who really wants it and works to achieve their goals...nice to be apart of someone
else's success.


***Sidenote***

I like the way Alexa provides the new person with direction...she does it pretty quickly and efficiently
and its usually the next logical step for the newbie to take.
