Just Take Action

Even though it’s my mantra, and I regularly remind business and coaching clients to “take action” (after proper consideration of course), I still am struck by the difference in the feeling of taking action versus waiting with indecision.

I’ve recently been grappling with a problem in one of my businesses, where a change in the look of an ad didn’t seem to be working out. Yet, the ad was not necessarily the only factor involved here; there were other dynamics that could also be affecting the outcomes. So I waffled … do I give it a chance? Or am I digging myself deeper in a hole by giving it a chance?

Early this morning, after considering the overall situation, my partner and I decided to ditch the new look and return to the previous one. That alone might not fix the issues, but we felt that there were problems with the new look that needed to be fixed anyway.

What a difference the decision made! I felt so much better for the rest of the day, because I knew I was taking action, not waiting nervously. The nervousness I’d been feeling the past few days seem to have melted, at least for now.

Sometimes, you have to think it through, and just take action. You’d be surprised at how much better it can make you feel.
