Nike says "Just Do It." Seth Godin urges us to "Ship." Others have expressed similar versions of the theme, "Do it Now." And yet, we stall, hesitate, ponder, deliberate and procrastinate.
Let's face it. We're very good at putting off the very action steps that will lead to our next level of success. Some of us blame perfectionism, others a case of paralysis by analysis.
Whatever it it is, you know it.

I was just thinking of what I would write for this post and told myself I needed to finish my reading - the newsletters, articles and blogs I typically go to for news and information.
Sure, I needed to read. But, I needed to write. And, reading was getting in the way of "shipping."
Taking action when you're not quite ready can be difficult. It can seem prudent. We can tell ourselves we aren't quite ready to hit "send." That all may be true, but it's getting in the way of success and personal growth.
Don't let it.
