Note to readers: This originally appeared at the end of 2010.

It was designed to take people out of "resolution" mode, and get them into DO mode.

So, read along, and feel free to post what you are DOING.

Just one rule:

No resolutions, or "wanna dos".

Just DOs.

OK, it's the end of the year, and you're making those resolutions for the new year.

Here's my challenge to you:

Instead of making a lot of "feel good" resolutions that will be forgotten by next week (or by the morning after), instead, this year:

DO.

Instead of making a resolution, DO SOMETHING NOW.

Anything.

THEN post.

Not before.

Want a suggestion?

Develop a roadmap for your Fastlane PLAN.

Click here for exercises/steps on how to do it:

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/your-goals-your-fastlane-plan/544-how-develop-your-plan.html

Yes, it takes time. More than the .0000006 seconds it takes you to make some flaky resolution that is worth it's weight in feathers.

Most folks can get at least part of the exercises done in one evening (uninterrupted).

Here's the thing:

If you DO it, you will be well on your way to entering the fastlane.

So, if you've spent the last ___ years of your life WANTING to do something, or TELLING OTHERS you're "GOING TO DO" something, but have been too busy/too afraid/too drunk/(insert excuse here), why not break out of your rut, and try this?


DO.


SOMETHING.


NOW.


Then post to this thread.

What will you DO?
