“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.”

It is go time. You have put in some serious work and have everything you need to move forward. So climb up that high dive, take a good look at where you currently stand, and get ready to jump. It may be a little scary, but you can do it. By reading this book and answering the questions as they pertain to you, you are prepared to begin achieving your goals.

The first few steps of doing are always the most difficult, but after a few days of action, you'll hit your stride. There is nothing that feels better and motivates you more than moving toward your goals. Action beats intention any day. When you begin to choose actions and behaviors that create the results you want, you are also creating the life you want. It isn't rocket science; it is understanding that if you don't do anything, you won't get anything. Things only change if you take some action. It's hard to get a job if you don't put in a resume. It's hard to return to school if you don't put in an application. It's hard to find someone to date if you don't put yourself out there. One of the laws of life is that action creates results. So let's move from analyzing, strategizing, and planning to real-life action, progression, and accomplishment.
