AI Transcript:
I hate to say it, but a lot of people are waiting and I don't like that. Even for myself, sometimes I'm waiting too long because I'm overthinking maybe I should do it like this, Maybe it's not the way how to do this.
Maybe I need to read another book about that to be able to do this. Maybe I need to take a course. Whatever it is, often what we are waiting for is a confirmation for not doing things. But what helps to get moving is just say, it is time right now to get started. You need to go from a nice to do to a must do.
When you say, yes, I will do this and you move with energy into that direction, you're going to change things. Action drives progress and that will help you to succeed. Take action on a daily basis even if you do a step in the wrong direction. Most of the time, it's better than not doing a step at all.
