Just Do
Summary
- I don't like the saying "be do have." It suggests you must become a certain person to do something to have what you want.
- Focus on doing because doing creates the result. We can control what we do, not what we have.
- Behaviors define who we are, so being follows doing. It's about taking action.
- Just like the Nike slogan, "Just do it," taking action is key.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing the mindset of focusing on action as the foundation for achieving your goals. Start with small, consistent actions every day that align with your objectives. For a business, this might mean reaching out to one new customer daily or improving one process a week. For personal growth, try reading for 10 minutes or practicing a skill every day.
A good way of approaching this is by setting clear, actionable tasks you can accomplish within a short amount of time. Make these tasks specific and manageable to create a sense of achievement, which builds momentum.
Another strategy is to eliminate the need for perfection before starting. Don’t wait to become “better” or be “more ready” before you begin. Just start doing what you can with what you have. If you're an entrepreneur, this might translate to launching a product or service before it's perfect and refining it based on feedback.
Additionally, regularly review what actions are leading to desired results and double down on them. Reflect on your actions weekly to understand what’s working and where you can improve. This reflection will help you realize the power of consistent action and how it shapes who you are becoming.
Finally, embody the "Just do it" philosophy by keeping your focus on actionable steps rather than overthinking or overplanning. This will help you stay productive and continually move forward toward your goals.
