Take Action

25th August 2015

Something happened this week which reminded me how much can be achieved in a relatively short time if it is something that you really want.

Essentially my daughter was off on holiday to Morocco for a week with a group of about 15 friends. They had booked a villa which had all sounded lovely, and although they had only paid a very small deposit, assumed all was well. However, about five or six hours before they were due to depart, the girl who had booked it all received an email saying the villa was not finished, and therefore their holiday was cancelled. Everyone was devastated as they had been really looking forward to their trip.

Instead of just saying “Oh well, no holiday”, some of them immediately started looking for alternatives, and believe it or not, within two hours, not only had they found a replacement villa, because it was at such short notice, they also got a better deal than their original destination. Quite a result!

The point is, if you want something bad enough, it is amazing what you can achieve if you focus and start taking action. The same principle of course applies to your business. If you set your goals, and write them down, if they are genuinely things you are striving for, then the chances of getting them are very high. So when things go wrong don’t just give in and decide they you can get by with other less good things, keep fighting, keep doing things, that will help to change things for the better, and who knows, you may get there quicker than you originally thought.
