Massive action-What is your definition?

To me, massive action is identifying an objective you want to achieve and then not stopping until you achieve it.

It is focussed and not the same as massive activity! So choosing the right objectives is key.

Taking massive action stopped me from being an 'opportunity seeker', flitting from one shiny object to another, and turned me into a business owner.

To me it means working even when you're tired or
it's not convenient. Like choosing to write a
report you can use to drive traffic to your site
instead of watching a TV show.

For me it has meant figuring out how to optimize
ads on FB to get targeted leads.

Around 3-5 hours of deep work each day (Cal Newport, an academic and productivity author, has a good blog about these concepts: Knowledge Workers are Bad at Working (and Here’s What to Do About It…) - Study Hacks - Cal Newport)

Authors and screenwriters such as Ernest Hemingway, Stephen King and Woody Allen have all relied on that rule. Get in your 500 words for the day and call it quits - but be sure to get them done each and every day. It is not about the duration, but the consistency. The same principle can be applied to internet marketing.

If you can put in even just three hours of genuine task-focused work each day for a month, you'll be amazed at your strides. I consider this, as a body of work, to be massive action.

Im guessing at some point after 2 years of spamming facebook you will make a few sales, what do you think?

Ah, a kindred spirit. For me, massive action is getting out of bed.

Having done that though, the rest of the day (whatever that entails), is a doddle.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

And also what they flush in the morning when they spot a police squad and a battering ram outside their front door! :rolleyes:

This is what I learned from Tim Gorman, Sean Mize and Lance Winslow at EzineArticles.com back in 2006/2007. Pick a topic, set a goal of how many articles I was going to write (no matter what) each day and just do it.

My thoughts are that although you should take massive action to get off to a good start on a new project, consistent action is more important. It helps us as human beings to see rewards for our efforts, even if it's a small trickle of traffic coming in. Massive action in the beginning of a new project can help get the ball rolling quickly, generate momentum and then you can build upon that.

I'd also recommend having a PROVEN plan in place before taking any action. Taking massive action on something that doesn't work or isn't going to work long term is a complete waste of time and can be very discouraging. Been there, done that.

Once you've chosen a proven plan, break it up into step by step tasks and make a commitment to do a manageable amount of those steps every day, for 2-3 hours per day, 5-10 hours per week or whatever works best for you and fits your schedule, but make sure that you set goals that you can easily stick to! Otherwise you're setting yourself up for failure.


My two bits.

I dunno. I wouldn't call the big bang, consistent. It was pretty massive, though.

I'll take the one on the right.

I'm sorry. That's just far too Tesla for a Saturday night. Even God gave himself breaks, ya know.
