The Cost of Inaction - Can You Afford It?

The Cost of Inaction - Can You Afford It?
What is the cost of inaction? Only you can determine this,
but will you? Examine, by projecting yourself a year into
the future, the status in your life if you simply keep
doing the same things you are doing now. Furthermore,
examine the projected worsening damages that may present
themselves by allowing inaction to continue unabated.

Think of status quo as a fleeting moment. Other than the
blink of an eye we are either progressing in our journey to
success or we are losing ground. This writing is to focus
those of you who wish sincere change in your life the
opportunity to experience it. Margot Zemach's award winning
book for children, "It Could Always Be Worse" comes to mind
as a great read if you are feeling as though you are losing
ground. If you do nothing to change, like those in this
legendary Yiddish folk tale, it could always be worse.

As a business coach, I listen to the reasons people are
interested in a business opportunity where they chart their
own destiny. Reasons like repeated loss of a job,
insufficient retirement plans leaving retiree with the need
to supplement to make ends meet, or not enough for
life-long dreams of travel, adventure, or comfort. Some
are not able to work outside the home and earn enough to
pay day care or are gone so much they have little time left
for parenting. Many, ridden with credit card debt, are
unable or barely able to make their monthly payments.
College tuitions, family vacations, leisure pursuits go
unfunded. Those in the housing industry, mortgage lending
and real estate sales are experiencing perhaps the greatest
downturn in their careers right now.

If you resonate with one or more of the profiles listed and
you are ready to "pick your self up" and "start over again"
then you can benefit from these words. Note - If you are
truly "ready go" skip dusting yourself off. There is
little time for it.

Some people say if you do nothing to change your situation,
you will be in the same situation a year from now. I do
not believe that is true. If you do nothing about your
situation, you are likely, in reality, heading down hill.
Even ground is just a blink of that eye. If you do not
course correct, you will not be in the same situation; you
will be in a worse situation. Moving to a positive field,
the state of attraction will be a solid step of action.

What will it be that will initiate course correction,
change, that action for you? Many factors or interrupters
keep us from action. However, the prevalent ones center on
fear. Fear, fear of change, fear of the unknown, fear it
could be worse all keep people from the self-confidence
they deserve and it keeps them from action. Daily I talk
with people who are desperate for a change in their lives.
They are experiencing the unhealthy pain of a stress
pressed life. Inaction will not drive you in any upward
bound direction. Most people do not fall into success.
They just do not. Most of us who enjoy a ladder of our own
climbing have worked hard for what we have achieved. We
have become fearless and taken ACTION.

Sure, there is risk. Risk can be minimized. In the system
that we teach, a unique business model, people are able to
work their W2 jobs while they grow their own residual
income stream. We call this "straddling". It is a good fit
for those ready to make positive change in their lives and
be proactive in accomplishing a sustainable income not
dependent upon the whim of corporate mergers or bosses who
are trying to produce bottom line results to keep their own
jobs. Those who have lost their jobs have a great
opportunity to build a residual based income. Our model
has the capability of producing substantial income within
one to two years so often a job is still necessary for a
time. While job-hunting, one can easily devote two to four
hours a day to beginning a business that will pay for a
lifetime.

If INACTION is a word of past and you are READY GO to work
fully focused on charting your own destiny, climbing your
own ladder then follow the link provided. It could always
be worse and if one anchors in inaction it is very likely
it will be worse. In the words of Henry Ford, "Whether you
think you can or think you can't you are right". Which
right do you want to be?
