Action

Action is intrinsically related to solving a problem.

When we say, “I’ve found a solution,” we don’t even have to mention taking action; it’s understood that it will happen.

Yet when it comes to advice, we often find ourselves more interested in hearing good advice than acting upon it.

We’re eager to nod our heads and say, “Yes! That makes a lot of sense. I should do that.”

We’re less eager to hold ourselves accountable.

When you recognize good advice, find a way to keep yourself on the hook.

Anyone can listen to good advice. Not everyone figures out how to act on it.
