Leadership Tip of the Week

Be Proactive!

When it comes to pursuing your dreams, vision, and goals be proactive!

Don’t wait. Don’t procrastinate. Take initiative!

If you wait for the right time it may never come. There are always going to be circumstances and challenges to deal with and overcome. There is never a perfect time. Therefore, the best time is ALWAYS the present. So, go for it NOW!

Don’t indulge in being a victim of others or circumstances, and don’t be afraid to apply the principle of asking for forgiveness rather than for permission.

It’s natural to have considerations and fears when taking on something new or big. Just don’t buy into your considerations, don’t get paralyzed by your fears and become unable to leave your comfort zone, and don’t give in to your excuses, no matter how enticing they may seem.

Do whatever it takes, and as you have heard me say before: “Fake it till you make it” if you have to.
