Are you a DOER or a HOPER?

I heard this on the TV show, “Stark Raving Mad”:
A man opened his door to a stranger and with disappointment said, “Oh, I was hoping you were the pizza delivery guy.”
The other asked, “You ordered a pizza, huh?”
“No, I was just hoping.”

Could this be you? Are you eternally stuck hoping for the BIG PIZZA OF LIFE to present itself? I’ve met lots of frustrated people who have a good idea of what they want — a better relationship with their kids, a better job, more money (you’ve heard your friends say this before) — but they hardly do anything about it except hope and feel pain. It’s time for action. You want to be a DOer not a HOPEr.

Here’s a smart idea and you can quickly do this right now. Write down something that you’d love to get accomplished in a month — for example: take the kids on a hike, ask for a promotion, or sell 10% more than last month. After you identify what you want, then write down the answers to 3 questions:
- What is a skill of yours you need to improve?
- What are 3 action steps you’ll need to take?
- Name 3 people who can help you.

Investing just 5 minutes in these activities will get your creative juices flowing and smart new possibilities are guaranteed to pop into your head. Get started right now and make this your smartest month yet!
