“This Is What Keeps You Poor…”

Summary

• People who struggle financially often postpone action, saying they'll start 'tomorrow' or 'Monday,' which actually delays dealing with discomfort rather than gratification.
• If you've been saying you'll start a diet 'this week,' and it's now 'this week,' you've simply postponed facing the challenge.
• Your current condition, like your body's shape, is a result of delaying difficult actions you've committed to, and being surprised by the consequences isn't reasonable since it's the outcome of previous postponements.

How To Take Action

I would suggest taking immediate action. Instead of saying, "I'll start tomorrow," why not start today? The longer you wait, the bigger the challenge seems. By taking steps right away, you avoid that surprise when you see the results of your delays.

A good way of doing this is by setting small, daily goals. Let's talk about a diet, for example. Don't wait until next week; decide on one healthy meal you're going to have today. Or, in business, instead of planning a big project for the future, do one thing now that will get you closer to your goal.

Your current situation, think about your body shape or your business, is because of putting off things. When you delay, you shouldn't be shocked by the outcome. It's just what happens when you push off those tough tasks.

So, here's what you specifically need to do:

1. Stop delaying – Decide to take on that difficult action now, not later.
2. Break it down – Make a tiny goal for today, something you can achieve.
3. Be honest with yourself – Remember, surprises only come if you've been avoiding the work.
4. Reflect daily – At the end of the day, look back at what you've done. This will help you keep from pushing things off.

Remember, the pain of action is much better than the pain of regret. So, let's not be poor in action. Take that step today!
