Happy Wednesday! I’ve got an important question for you: Do you realize you can just as easily change your life today as you could on New Year’s Day? “Change is a matter of choice, not calendar,” said Dan Kennedy, one of my first mentors. Yes, there are many excuses to wait and save your big life change for 2023… - It’s late October. - Fear of failure. - Distraction with midterm elections. - Kids are busy with school & sports. - Halloween, National Beer Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas… I get it. But listen… There will never be a perfect time to make your BIG LEAP to the next level in life. January 1st doesn’t bring fewer distractions. So you might as well push forward faster today. Life is gonna throw you a lot of curveballs… and fastballs… and knuckleballs… and bean balls. (Bean balls are where the pitcher throws at your head!) Don’t let any fear or excuse hold you back. “The secret lies in this: If one fails, one must not despair, but try again and again. Such is the work of those who wish to do good. All good deeds require effort and time." – Elder Cleopa of Romania The best time to start making your BIG LEAP was 20 years ago. The second-best time is today. So… Don’t wait for January 1st… or November 1st. Don’t even wait for Monday. That book you want to write? Start writing the first 100 words today. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or not. Just break the ice. The assistant you want to hire? Send a few texts or emails right now to let friends & colleagues know you’re looking. No need to overthink it. The 15 lbs you want to lose? Chug some water before dinner and eat a bit less. That’s it! You don’t have to do anything crazy — just get the ball rolling and build some momentum. The point is not to start with a “clean slate” and go from 0-100 as fast as possible.
The point is to START. So start today. Start now. It’s time to change so you can make these final days of 2022 the best days of the year. I’m giving you this friendly nudge to take the first step. Because I know you want to do so much more. And you CAN. You’ve got this, let’s go! Success Loves Speed, Craig |
