The Key To Anything, and Everything

Action is the foundational key to all success. – Pablo Picasso

I love the saying: without sales there is no business.

It’s so true.

Unless the key activity of a business is done, and repeatedly so, there is no actual business.

The same is true of success, and achievement.

Without:

action;

movement;

making some mistakes;

learning;

intermediate successes;

small wins;

. . .

there is no real success.

Success is as life: everything must move.

To be still, completely still, is to be dead.

Positive thinking without constructive visualization and consistent action/adaptation is like pizza without sauce, and cheese, and toppings, and an oven, and someone skilled to make the pizza and bake, and slice, it — it’s just dough. Positive thinking when combined with vivid and emotionally charged…
