I find that the most simple advice is the most effective. Single sentences like what Ray suggested...Just get started! Or what my friend Marcus Hochstadt always says...Substitute the word "try" with "do". Nike's famous quib "Just do it" is another example. People who seek success advice are really looking for inspiration and a push. That's why the one-liners work. Thanks for the post.

So if you're feeling overwhelmed, try breaking your goals down into smaller sections. You can do it two ways - my favorite is to start at the end and work your way backwards. Imagine that you've achieved your goal. Then write down the last thing you did before achieving it. And so on and so forth. Break them down into doable chunks. Then take each step and put it in your calendar. Some things are short term and can be worked on every day. Some can be done once a week, or once a month. Just create a schedule so you're doing something every day to get what you want. That way, not only are you doing the quick "take action and make money now" things, you're also working on your long-term "lifestyle" goals.

So to choose not to take an action that you know you should be doing dooms you to losing. Taking the action will not guarantee that you will win, it puts you in a position to win.
