How to Invest These Last Days of the Seminar Year

June 21st, 2008 by Ann Vertel

You have just a few days left in this seminar year. Miracles are there for the taking. All you have to do is TAKE ACTION.

This doesn’t mean THINK about taking action, or plan on taking action, or learn more about what type of action to take, or talk to other people about the action they are taking, or look for other things to try when you do take action - it means TAKE ACTION.

Pick up the phone and dial.
Walk out of your house.
Drive somewhere and get out of your car.
Talk to anyone and everyone. All the time.

This is the last mile of the marathon. This is where you either get real and get serious or you spend the next year wallowing in your justification for why you “couldn’t” make it happen.

To get it done, you will have to give up or let go of something that is holding you back. Much like driving around with your emergency brake on. You can add more gas but you will not hit top speed until you release the brake. Perhaps it is your need to think it’s too hard so you never have to come face to face with your true potential.

You’re probably not nearly as afraid of failure as you think, particularly if most of your failures have been failures of omission - all those things you didn’t try or didn’t do. Those are all failures as well - but you had the luxury of experiencing them in private without the scrutiny of a public flogging.

Perhaps more than anything you’re afraid of potential failure or failure in public. A grand, spectacular, “told you so” failure in front of everyone you know. Of having your nose just rubbed in one more thing you said you were going to do and didn’t.

So your job these next days is to be absolutely, down-right UNreasonable about winning in a big way. You’re done with behaving in a reasonable, average, mediocre, don’t rock the boat, “good girl,” unobtrusive, let me see how small I can be sort of way.
Done.
No more.
It is time to take off your stuffy mental clothes and put on a full-force, give me more, can’t touch this, “you SO need to meet me” attitude. At the end of June you will have to account for yourself. Seminar is the place where you can nod your head and say, “I’ve done well.” Or can you see yourself shaking your head in disappointment…again?

You WANT to live large.
NOW is your time.
No more waiting.
No excuses.
Action, action, action.
Do it NOW.

Now go have a POWERFUL day!

    I love, love, love the blog format! It’s nice to easily be able to leave comments and look at past articles. I have to say that this article works both ways. Since I read it after the end of the seminar year, I am ready to go get em’ this new year! Thanks!

    Hi Cat,
    Thanks for the positive feedback about the blog format - I’m still getting comfortable with it but so far I like it too! Hope you work every day of this new Seminar year as if it were the last!
