A great and very real challenge for many of us. Sometimes I give to quick a deadline to clients when Im feeling real ambitious. Then I fall short of the deadline, So I try to never give a quick deadline always give myself a few days even if I will have it to them in hours. This way I dont look as though Im not following through on what I say I will do.

Wonderful Alyson,

I feel like I’ve been doing many things “now”, but there are
always more brave steps I can take. Thanks for inspiring me.

Ooh, yes – putting off sending emails that involve me asking for something like a book to review…I even made a list called ‘ask tasks’ but clearly I would have been better just asking than making the list!

In reply to Cate.

Lesson learned the hard way, huh, Cate? You’ll do better from now on. I know it.

This is so true! I put off submitting my work to a lot of shops I thought would be interested because I was too scared of rejection. Turns out, if I’d just emailed them a month or two ago, they would gladly have ordered from me, but now it’s too late in the season and they won’t be ready to buy until next summer.

There’s so much power in taking action!

Yes! I need to do this. DO IT. I have actually been unsubscribing to “Grow your business” emails and stopped reading articles (except Alyson!) because I need to put into action everything I “know”.
