Now Is The Best Time To Make A Big Decision
Live from the Denver quarantine
About this time last year, I worked in the fitness industry at a big box gym as a personal trainer. My business was fine, there were good and bad days, but I wasn’t really satisfied.
So I made the decision to get out of that and into the world of tech.
Now with everything going on today including but not limited to world wide fear, quarantines, stock market plunges, and uncertainty, I can confidently say that was the best decision I have made in my entire life.
I think every day about how grateful my wife and I are to be relatively unaffected by everything going on. We both have stable jobs and work in safe environments, her a hospital lab and me at home on the couch.
In another universe, I am still a trainer but out of work due to gyms shutting down for the foreseeable future.
The favorable circumstances I am in today are all due to the fact that I made and committed to a decision to change careers. There was a lot of doubt and stress from myself and others, but it all worked out better than I could have expected.
Regardless of the current situation you find yourself in, now is the best time to act on a plan you have been thinking about for a long time. There is a world of information at your fingertips, and now more people than ever are plugged into the internet.
We all have ideas, and it is our responsibility to ourselves and the world to act on some of them.
Here are three ideas that thousands of people act on everyday over the internet:
- Find work
- Start a business
- Network and build relationships (business or personal)
Some try and fail, others have wild success, and then there are millions of others somewhere in between. The only way you are 100% guaranteed to fail is if you never act on any ideas. If one idea doesn’t work, take action on another one, simple as that. Or you can go back to Netflix and chill, your decision.
Figure out what motivates you, which is something only you can do, so you can set yourself up now for when the world opens back up again later.
Be focused with your purpose, don’t waste time consuming media with no intentions of putting it to good, actionable use. Your entire life can change in a few months if you do the right things.
When you figure out what really motivates you to get up in the morning, you can take consistent action on your ideas. If you can’t wake up earlier than you have to on a regular basis, you likely don’t know what truly motivates you
When you take consistent action on your ideas, your life and the world around you change in better ways than you can ever imagine.
Stop wasting time, get to work.
Good luck.
