<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">Some
people are just better at taking action than others. At least, that's
how it can often seem when you want to take action but can't figure
out how you should go about it. The truth is, you can transform
yourself from a thinker to a doer using the following three secrets. </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">To
be sure, calling those who delay and hesitate “thinkersâ€ is a
most positive label. </font>
</p>

	<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt"><b>Stop
	Waiting For The Perfect Time</b></font></p>
</ol>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">The
most obvious difference between a thinker and someone who is a doer
is that doers don't worry about waiting for the perfect time. This is
because perfection is a myth. There is no such thing as the perfect
time. You will always have a full schedule; you will always have
other things to do. It is time to accept that there is no time like
the present for whatever you wish to accomplish. So stop waiting, and
start doing instead. </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">Swimmers
often have extended thinking moments at the edge of the pool. Getting
into the water is a big step for some who want to over-think getting
in. There is no perfect time for getting in with regard to the flow
in the lane. Get in without a collision, of course. Don’t dive into
shallow water, of course. But those are epic fails. Another way to
fail is waiting for the perfect moment and over-thinking it. </font>

	<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt"><b>Write
	Your Plan Down</b></font></p>
</ol>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">Many
people don't take action now because they aren't sure where to start.
If your plan is quite large, like a career change, it can be
difficult to know exactly where to start. What helps with this is to
sit down and make an outline of your plan or goal. Break it down into
smaller, more manageable pieces. Then, start with the first
manageable piece that you can do. For the career example, the first
step would be to update your resume. </font><font style="font-size: 14pt">Be
ready </font><font style="font-size: 14pt">to apply for new
</font><font style="font-size: 14pt">openings. </font><font style="font-size: 14pt">Seems
</font><font style="font-size: 14pt">like having an
up-to-date resume is </font><font style="font-size: 14pt">easier
to accomplish than only </font><font style="font-size: 14pt">thinking
</font><font style="font-size: 14pt">and wishing</font><font style="font-size: 14pt">
you </font><font style="font-size: 14pt">had a</font><font style="font-size: 14pt">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">W</font><font style="font-size: 14pt">ith
the swimming examples, noodle about the pending practices with the
coaches well before the start of the swimming time. Give yourself
extra minutes to read the workout so you’re geared up for the
practice and being the first to splash into the water. </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">For
the swimming coach seeking a new position, after the resume is
updated, reach out to those with the ISCA Job Services, especially
Patrick Henry at Swim Coaches Staffing Solutions. He has a vast
network and lots of experiences placing coaches in different
positions. He can review your resume confidentially. Plus, he might
have a grip on what positions are open now and soon-to-be opening.</font></p>

	<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt"><b>Overcome
	Your Fear</b></font></p>
</ol>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">Are
you afraid to take action now because you don't think you will be
successful? Or, maybe you are afraid that you will make mistakes
along the way?</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">You
aren't alone. Most people who aren't doers don't take action because
they are afraid of what could happen. </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">Either
way, it's time to overcome these fears so that you can take action
now. And the best way to do this is by recognizing that you are human
and that making mistakes is part of life. Don't worry about thinking
you may fail; this is okay too. Remember that all successful people
have had failures too. This doesn't mean they didn't eventually
achieve their dreams! </font>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 115%"><font style="font-size: 14pt">Taking
action now can seem like a tall order, but when you </font><font style="font-size: 14pt">understand</font><font style="font-size: 14pt">
these secrets, you may find that taking action is easier than </font><font style="font-size: 14pt">before.
</font><font style="font-size: 14pt">So if you have big
plans for your life, don't sit around waiting for them to happen on
their own. Take action today and make your dream a reality. </font>
