Do What You Know!

By Travis Speegle

As a consultant and a coach, I find times when I recognize a similar message or problem among a majority of my clients.

This isn’t a new problem, but I recognized its prevalence today. I was giving a client some very basic advice, when he said, “yeah, I already know that”. I’m sure he had heard it before and probably knew exactly what I was suggesting he do. The problem is he wasn’t doing it!

In today’s world we have endless amounts of information available about nearly any subject imaginable. When it comes to Fitness and/or Business Success there we are subjected to thousands of messages a day that claim to offer a better, faster, cheaper, magic solution to your challenges.

You can spend your whole life searching for that “one thing” or the “perfect solution” and never find the success you’re looking for.

I’ll let you in on the biggest secret of success.... That “one thing”, the “magic pill” …It’s not out there to be found!

I’m going to go out on a limb here and tell you that “YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT TO DO!”

The first step in creating a successful system, in any endeavor, is simply doing something. As you set an idea in motion, there is something that you inherently know about the project. Do what you know first!

If you are starting a weight loss program you probably “know” that you will need to eat better and move more. Great! Start by doing that. You don’t need some elaborate plan before you can get started. Replace your daily serving of fried chicken with grilled chicken and walk up the stairs instead of using the elevator. You already know that, so just DO IT!

Want to write a book? You know that you’ll need to get some of your ideas written down, so DO IT!

It doesn’t matter what you’re setting out to do, there is something you already know about it. Do those things first!

Nothing is more magic for creating successful outcomes than action.

Once you are moving in toward what you want, then you can learn more about what you’re doing so you “know” what to do next. This pattern of action creates momentum, which will keep you moving in the right direction and insure long term success.

Quite honestly, this is the point at which a coach or consultant will be most beneficial to you as well. Once you have committed to taking action and doing what you know, a partner in the process can help you continue to learn, define and refine what you know so that your actions can become even more effective. Even the best coach in the world can’t create success for you.... Your actions determine your outcomes.

Stop looking for magic answers and START DOING WHAT YOU KNOW!
