Take action now because today is the perfect day for you to make a new start for your business ideas. Stop waiting for the perfect day to come along. Instead, make today perfect by doing that new thing you have been dreaming about.
It is magnificent to take action now and make a new start with a new business or new idea for your old business. Almost every day I speak with someone who has been planning to run a business, who has a great idea for a business, or who wants to take their current business off in a new direction.
I remember watching a movie once where one of the main characters, a cab driver had been planning to start his own limousine business. He had notebooks full of ideas, plans, drawings, facts, and figures. He had been working on his business plans for eight years. But, he had not taken any action to actually get the business up and moving.
Today can be the day you take action now to either start a new business or to do something new in your existing business. If you have a hair salon, today is the day you start offering the new service you have been thinking about. If you operate a blog or internet magazine, today is the day to add that plugin or widget you have been looking at for the past few weeks. If you have an electronic supply company, today is a good day to add another product to the sales mix. In other words, you have been talking for a long time. Let today be the day you take action now and start a new business or breathe new life into your existing business.
For every thing there is a time and a season, today is the time and season for you to take action now in your business. Businesses are living things. All living things have life cycles, times when things need to be poured in so that other things can be poured out. If you have notebooks and data files full of ideas and plans for your new or existing business, it is time to move from plan to action. Have you created SMART plans aka plans with steps, goals, and ideas that are:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic and
Time-bound
If you have not, get to work making your plan SMART. If you have a SMART plan on hand then get up, take action now, and get started on something new.
Keep in mind that business climates, like all of life, is full of special moments, crucial time frames. With your new business, do not let the time for your business pass you by. If you plan and plan without ever acting the time for your new business may pass you by.
Think about it, if you had a great idea for pay telephone booths that you have been revising for the past five years, the mobile phone industry has made your plan for a new business outdated. With your current business, time and place are also important. If there is a new business area, you have been planning to enter, take action now and get moving. The opportunity will not last forever.

Perfect post. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Thanks for sharing.
I am always readjusting my blog…I like to stay up on the new trends and this keeps me going!
You know what they say – there is no time like the present. Great ideas!
Very inspiring post. You shared really great ideas!
You always do a great job of inspiring me. I definitely will be taking action to make my blog and vlog more successful. Thanks for your ideas, they are always well received.
A great post…always. Thanks!
I love all of your encouragement! It is so true that you just have to start.
I love this post! It’s so hard to do something new and just stay with what you know so this is a wonderful reminder to just.do.it. Love this quote! “Today should be the day you step up, take action and do that new thing.” <<<needs to be my new mantra
I love goals that are measurable. How else do you know when you’ve met them?
My husband and I run a small business, plus I blog. It is hard work but it definitely has it’s rewards being your own boss. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about it. And if we can do it, anyone can.
Can’t do anything if you don’t TRY! I plan on being very bold at the end of this week, wish me luck!
I always have ideas for money makers or businesses but never follow through. It’s probably because I don’t have a full plan but it’s time to start getting serious.
No business ideas for me to at all. I have never really thought about starting my own business. Might not be a bad idea.
I receive this. I have been toying with the idea of a new business venture and I haven’t stepped out there yet because of doubt. I think I just need to do it. The worse thing that can happen is it doesn’t work and that is far less detrimental than not trying!
I’m definitely getting bolder and taking more chances with things like this. You’re such a good motivator!
Make dreams a reality! So many people just think about what they want, instead of pursuing them.
Taking action in 2014! I have a short list of things to accomplish at a time. Let’s do this! Thanks for the inspiration.
Talking is one thing, doing is another. You’re pushing the right points – Do, Start. Take Action Now! Great post.
I have a few more rooms to declutter in the house and then it is time for me to get serious about making some positive changes to my blogs! I will be coming back and going post to post checking out what I can do to improve.
Thank you for the encouraging words! My blogging partner and I have so many ideas to take our blog to the next level. Instead of dreaming about them, they just need to get done! Part of the problem is we are both busy, full time jobs, families, but today is the day to take action !
My blogging how to blog has really been neglected these last couple months. I am working on scheduling new posts to resurrect it and get the traffic and interest back up!
Great tips! I so often find myself distracted out of getting done the things I really want to do to take my blog to the next level.
Very inspirational post, thanks for sharing! Nothing will go anywhere if we don’t take action!
I love reading your posts. Read the one giving tips to bloggers and entrepreneurs and now this one. Very inspirational indeed.
My brother is a total idea guy but can never get moving in the right direction. I hope this can help him take some action!!
Your posts give me the motivation that I need to do all the hard things with my blog, which is my business! I needed a reminder that I need to take action and this post gave me that kick I needed. I’ve never really laid out a business plan for my blog and I think I’m going to do that first thing in the morning!
Great tips, Jeneane! The SMART concepts sounds excelent and something we all can use. Thank you!
Good advice. Great for small business.
Great tips. I have to remember that businesses flow. There are times that are good and times that are not. Thanks for sharing this.
While I don’t have a business, I think these tips are really valuable to those who do. You are so right. Time doesn’t wait. Take action now and get the ball rolling!
I agree the time is now. I have started to monetize my blog. Need the income.

I have been trying to take action this year. Setting new goals and trying to achieve them.
I really like the concept of SMART! Each of these characteristics are important in setting goals (and reaching them)!
Thank you for sharing these tips! I always find such useful advice in your posts! 🙂
I need to make a list of goals!
Thank your for sharing this post! This year I have already taken action to revamp my blog, and I’m continuing to do so until I get it exactly how I want it.
I’ve been looking for a new theme for my blog, just dragging my feet. Hopefully this post can inspire me.
I’m always tweaking my blog! Just when I think it’s good, there’s always a new plugin or network to work on. Very inspiring to just do it!
Another inspirational post. I definitely want to grow my blog and home business this coming year. I am one of those people who has a notebook full of ideas. Time to start actually doing something with those ideas.
That’s so true for every area of life, isn’t it? Today is the day to make the change.
Making a list now! Love reading your posts Jeanane!
You are always so inspirational. A big thing for me right now is slowing down and stepping back a bit. I really need to determine where to best place my attention and time.
It’s hard to overcome distractions and procrastination to take action. It’s way too easy to get side-tracked! Thanks for the shot of motivation!
I love your posts they are always so inspirational. It is true time waits for no woman.
Time does not wait for anyone. I am always inspired to do something new or take an action I have planned when I read your posts. Thank you for the incentive to move on my dreams!
I love the quote in that tweet. Really inspirational and gives you a virtual kick in the pants.
Thanks for the insight! If you want anything done, its best to take action! 🙂
i’ve got my list of goals and am taking action on them one by one!! you are so inspiring!
Thank Goodness I am not looking to start up a business. My Hubs and I had a business for many years and now it is time to rest. Great ideas for those who need them though and I will pass this along.
I love your posts and have been sharing them with my sister, who is in the process of starting up her own business. Thanks for all the tips and advice.
