Don't Wait until You're Ready to Start Chasing Your Goals.

So I want to talk about - when is the right to time to go after your goals?

Have you got a goal that you keep putting off, even though you'd love to achieve it?

How long have you been waiting to start going after your dreams?

Are you telling yourself. I'll start on Monday, I'll start next month. I'll start in the New Year. Why am I not able to achieve my goals?

Lots of people keep themselves in this constant "waiting mode".

They are waiting for the exact perfect moment to finally go for it and get started on their life goals .

Whether you're aiming for a more defined life purpose, personal growth, more career success, more financial abundance, more balance in your life, this "waiting mode" is holding you back from all of this great stuff.

Below, I'm going to share why you should start today.

1. The big one - You’ll never be ready. We love to stall. It’s in our nature. If you wait until you’re ready, you’ll be waiting forever.

   
   

2. There is no perfect time. In life, something will always come up - that's just how it works. That something may make you feel like you don't have enough time, or you are too tired or you don't have enough money etc.

   
   

   There will always be a really good reason, a genuine reason. (excuse).

   
   

   The thing is, it's unlikely that you'll wake up one day and think - "right today's the day!" Everything is in perfect alignment I can start now.

   
   

   You just have to start now - this is the most perfect time you’re going to get.

   
   

   It's a decision!

   
   

3. The longer you leave it, the longer success is away from you. The sooner you get started the sooner you will achieve your goals. The sooner you can enjoy those benefits. The sooner you can change your life.

   
   

4. Our natural tendency is to wait too long. We always wait too long. When is the last time you did something too soon? Everyone else is waiting. Be the person that doesn’t wait. Fortune favours the bold, so be bold.

   
   

5. Wanting too much information. We live in a time where, we have so much information at the touch of button - it is easy to want more and more.

   
   

   When it comes to our goals, we want to know everything there is to know before we take the first step.

   
   

   Unfortunately, we can’t know everything. Sometimes life unfolds in unpredictable ways. You just need enough information to get you moving to that 1st step of your goal and from there you'll figure out what's next. If you take step 1, then step 2 will appear.

   
   

   Yes, do some research, assess the risks but be aware you can stay in research mode indefinitely.

   
   

6. Action creates clarity. Following on from the above point, when you take action you learn. You learn what is working and what is not. It allows you to change your course / direction to get you closer to your results. This is how you create the next step.

   
   

   Researching and researching will not do this. You may feel busy and that you're taking action. But you’re not producing any results. You're still waiting for the perfect moment to act.

   
   

7. The most successful people make decisions quickly and stick with them. The least successful people aren't good at making up their minds. They’re often conflicted for a number of reasons, primarily fear. Give yourself a time limit to make a decision and see how it goes.

   
   

Time is more important than timing.

Conclusion:

Why are you waiting to start your goals? Probably for most people it's fear.

It feels better. It can feel reassuring to have a big goal or ambition that is in the future - you can't fail (because you haven't tried) so it a good feeling of hope, that one day you 'll have the thing. It may be the fear of failure lurking in the background.

However, the opposite is true, too. If you never get started, there’s no real hope of anything better. If you never begin, you’re guaranteed to fail.

Knowing that you’ll never be 100% ready or comfortable is great awareness and allow you to just start now.  

Action Step:

Practice making decisions quickly and moving forward with them. This is a great habit to develop.

Let me know in the comments your thoughts and what action step you are going to take next?

To your success,

Kay
