e have waited too long to take action and implement an idea, only to find that someone else beat them to it.

With this in mind, the easiest way to take positive action now and start your journey to achieving your goals is to write them out, how you plan to achieve them and by what date. Be specific. You can literally do this today, it only has to be a few paragraphs. Pin it up somewhere where you can read it every day. When you read it, read it with true emotion as though you've already achieved your goals.

How many people do you know who find excuses for everything? I remember telling my friends that I was going to rent out my house rather than sell it to use as a deposit on a new one. I received all sorts of advice, mostly negative. Here's the kind of things that people said regarding the idea:

• Don't do it because house prices might crash
• What if the tenant trashes the place?
• You might not be able to find a tenant at all, then what?
• Mortgage rates are going up so you might not make a profit
• Now's not the right time, wait a while to see if the market improves

Short of saying "what if the sky falls in?" I received every other reason why not to do it.

So, in my usual style I did it anyway. Since then, house prices have doubled, I have at least ?80k ($160k) equity in the house and I have the tenants paying my mortgage. The place has never been empty for more than a week and no-one's trashed the place... yet. The sky didn't fall in after all.

The moral of this story is, if you have an idea and you think it's a good one then just do it. There's nothing wrong with seeking advice from those with expert knowledge in the chosen field. In fact this should be actively encouraged. However, don't take advice from friends who know nothing about your ideas and goals, they'll almost always be negative and try to put you off the idea.

Procrastination and finding excuses not to do things at all is fast becoming a modern pastime. It's human nature to put things off and try to justify not doing things. It's also much easier that way. If you suffer from this, you're not alone, we all do at times but it's those of us who overcome this and take positive action who achieve real success.

If you have any goals, personal or business then do something about them now. If you're waiting for the time to be right then I regret to inform you that the time will never be exactly right. If you think you're not ready and you're still researching the idea there's nothing to stop you from starting now anyway, ready or not. There are countless stories where people have waited too long to take action and implement an idea, only to find that someone else beat them to it.

The reasons for doing this are to do with auto suggestion and are beyond the scope of this article. However, if you do nothing else today, at least do this as it's a very important and powerful first step.

Just remember that procrastination and excuses are the entrepreneurs worst enemy. Ask someone who you consider to be unsuccessful in life why they never achieved more success, but be tactful in your wording. If you do this you'll see exactly what I mean. They'll give you a list of excuses as long as your arm.
