Success at the Speed of Now

It  may be easy to find your momentum at the beginning of the new year, or when you are first excited about starting your new business.

But then there are some days that you may begin to feel that you’ll never reach your goals.

You may begin to feel discouraged, and then let old habits return, and doubts and negative thinking seep in, finally putting off what you might otherwise do Now to take that one more small step.

But if you learn to recognize this feeling of faltering and doubt when it first occurs, perceiving that your enthusiasm and expectations are waning, then you can take action now to stop that thinking, regroup and once again visualize and reaffirm your belief that you will reach your goals.

Then decide that even just one small step right Now, today, will keep you on that slight edge. That one thing may be something that actually makes a huge difference later.

Why Not Now?

For example, a profitable option in my company is to have some retail customers. So having decided that was what I would spend some time focusing on, I worked on adding this to my list of business activities.

So I had listened to several retail training sessions and had ordered samples, fliers, and had them with me in my car.

The particular product I was planning on starting with was a healthy energy drink which can sell easily at privately owned convenience stores and recreational shops. But I was a bit nervous about this new plan, something with which I was not yet comfortable.

But I passed a few opportunities by to stop and go in to assess the applicability of the opportunity with some store owners. Finally one day as I pumped gas into my car, even already a little late for work, I said to myself, what am I waiting for? Why not Now?

As it turns out that was an incredibly timely decision. The manager of the store was not only very interested in carrying the product, he was also as it turns out very interested in joining the business with me.

Another example is my decision to start blogging. I didn’t consider myself an expert, but everything I had learned I decided was something someone else may like to know too. So I made the decision one day not to wait, to just at least now create the blog and at the very least START it.

I ended up creating two, one for each target market of customers and networkers. Thinking I must be nuts, having a full time job and still working my business, how would I manage to post one or two articles per week for each one?

That decision after a year now has led to having blogs that get lots of search engine traffic, social bookmarks, and favorable comments and reviews. Not only that, it is from these blogs that I have accumulated my largest numbers of retail customers and business partners.

The Road to Success is Many ‘Feat’ in Length

So, as you will look back after many of those small steps, little feats, you can be thankful that you took them once you see the distance you’ve covered.

You’ll know that doing just one more thing today will count tenfold later. Your success is absolutely made up of all those little steps you took ‘Now‘ instead of putting them off.

By 'Success at the Speed of Now' I'm just referring to the arrival of your success by your attracting it closer to you by taking action now every step of the way.

When you find your motivation, your drive, nothing stops you, and your belief and momentum increases. Your goals begin to seem as if they’re coming right at you instead of your trudging through quicksand trying to reach them.

Enjoy your Success and the Path which gets you There!
