The truth is that the hardest part is not achieving success but making the decision to leave your comfort zone.

Life continues as normal with the same routines and lingering doubt. Most people hesitate to make a change, over-analyse their choices and end up stagnant.

Ultimately, you made a change, tried something new, took a step in a different direction, which may be small but ultimately leads to a new direction.

How to make progress in a world full of people who are stuck?

1. Celebrate Your Progress
Continued Progress
• How far you’ve come
• Recognize the difference between progressing and being perfect

2. Take Small Steps to Take Action
There’s no such thing as being completely ready; take Action Now
• One small step at a time.... every day
• Create your own momentum through taking small steps on a consistent basis rather than trying to do large amounts of exercise at once

3. Do Not Wait for Clarity
You will find clarity through action
• Be quick in testing out your ideas from the time you think of them to the time you execute them
• Learn by Doing rather than by Planning

4. Create A System To Keep Moving
Consistency trumps motivation
• Develop very simple routines
• Reduce the friction of starting your planned actions to increase your chances of continuing them

5. Keep Moving, Comparison Is Unnecessary
You Can Only Control Your Own Pace
• Ensure that you are taking your own path
• Ignore distractions from others

💡Key Takeaway: 

You don’t need to beat out the competition. You only need to keep moving forward.
