A very successful founder was asked what it takes to succeed. He responded with this: "The same thing it took to get started—a sense of urgency about getting things done." The world is full of competent people who honestly intend to do things... tomorrow... or as soon as they can. Yet their accomplishments seldom match those of less talented people with a sense of urgency. The latter group understands the importance of getting started now. I see the sense of urgency not as a topic for discussion, but as a state of mind necessary for success. People with urgency = movers and doers. Everyone else = stallers and talkers. You can choose to have an impact now. Or you can put it off like everyone else. Which do you choose?
I agree. I acted out of urgency and opportunity when it presented itself Saturday morning. It will either backfire on me or be the beginning of some thing wonderful.
Urgency fuels success and separates the doers from the talkers.
Great point about urgency being a key to success. Those who act now often see greater results than those who wait. Which statement is your favorite?
That strikes me as an underrated mindset, Chris Hoffmann. Almost like it's hard to remember that we need to proceed with a sense of urgency, focus, intention. That impulse to slide into a comfortable pace or cadence is strong and, for me at least, pretty much constant.
Imperfect action > perfect inaction
5 secs to take action, before your unconscious mind convinces your conscious mind to delay.
You're right, Chris! Urgency is key to turning intentions into actions. It's what separates doers from dreamers. Let's choose to act now and make an impact.
Definitely moving and doing Chris Hoffmann 👏

3moMy biggest pet peeve is when people work harder to get out of doing a task, than it takes to actually get it done! There's a lot of them out there...
