Great ideas, but there still is a lot of competition out there in a world with sooo many people. I would say showing up is 60%

MorganWriting for me is formation of ideas, vision like and to me it is the first step.I think the next step is to actually take action …only this will bring out the difference between myself and the masses.

Frank – great comment. There is a big difference between just doing things to stay busy and actually doing meaningful work. It can be tough to distinguish (I still struggle with it) between the two; but it makes all the difference in the world if you get it right.

I think I'm the type that takes action. That's what I hope anyway.In respect to writing I think writing can be action – if you'rewriting to create something of value that will get you to your goal.Sure, building a blog is action and that takes writing. But what Iwas referring to was just taking the initiative, in anything. By juststepping up and take action you separate yourself from the mass ofpeople that talk alot and then go turn on the TV.Make sense? Thanks for the comment!

MorganGood insightful post..which sort are you?Do you think writing a post is the same as taking action?I thought that you meant collaborating on an action orientatedgoal was the object?Did I read you right?

Maybe it has to do with real physics. A body in motion tends to stay in motion. A body at rest tends to stay at rest. Once we get moving, we're doing. That said, there is so much subsitute for doing that really looks like doing.This is a great post. Thank you.

Why does it seem so hard to actually move the dial? I think people over-think action. I just thought of a great slogan which I plan on trademarking: Just Do It. Advice well-received, and much-needed.
