Are you still flying South?

5 birds are sitting on a telephone wire.  2 decide to fly South.  How many are left?

If your answer is 3, you may want to take another look, because in all likelihood there are still 5 sitting on that wire.

You see, deciding to fly simply isn’t the same as doing it.

If a bird (that would be you) really wants to go somewhere, it’s got to point itself in the right direction, jump off the wire, flap its wings and keep flapping until it gets there. So it is with most things. Good intentions aren’t enough.  It’s not what we want, say, or think that makes things happen; it’s what we do.

Thanks to Jurek Leon of www.TerrificTrading.com for pointing this out in one of his eNewsletters.  Like me, you already knew this; but a reminder may be timely.

And the more important question remains …what can be done to convert decisions into action, for ourselves and for those we lead?

So if you’re still sitting on that wire, or you’re ‘in a flap’ but not getting anywhere; and would like some assistance to get yourself and/or your business to a better place; I suggest you register for the next information session I’m hosting for business owners, CEOs, MDs and GMs.
