    Write Your Plan Down
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. Be ready to apply for new openings. Seems like having an up-to-date resume is easier to accomplish than only thinking and wishing you had a new gig.
With 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. 
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.

       Overcome Your Fear
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?

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! 

Taking action now can seem like a tall order, but when you understand these secrets, you may find that taking action is easier than before. 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.
