I see a lot of people on here talking about the possibility of doing something.

Then I see a lot of people reply with “TAKE ACTION!”

It’s great advice, but if you don’t understand why it’s great advice you’re probably not likely to take it.

So here it is:

You can read books on how to ride a bike. You can watch videos on how to ride a bike. You can go to seminars on how to ride a bike. You can attend webinars on how to ride a bike. You can even memorize the "Top 10 Tips on Riding a Bike for the New Bike Rider.”

But here’s the deal…

You will never - EVER - learn how to ride a bike until you physically get on one and try.

And guess what, you’re NOT going to get it right the first time.

You WILL feel awkward. You WILL start and stop. You WILL fall over.

But every time you get back on the bike, you will do it with a little bit more experience which will get you a little bit further down the road. The more you do it, the better you will get. And with enough experience, you’ll be able to ride comfortably with no hands.

But you will NEVER get there if you never take action. Guaranteed. Instead you'll still be sitting in your chair highlighting sentences from "Bike Riding for Dummies."

So…

Go re-read your posts.

If someone told you to take action, GO DO IT and FALL over. Then GET UP and TRY AGAIN.
