It’s easy to get caught up in the fervour of being an entrepreneur and start to make bold claims about your company and its success. However, when it comes down to it, actions speak louder than words. Today, I want to talk about how you can live up to the expectations you create and show your customers that you mean business by putting your money where your mouth is.
Start tracking everything
You can’t improve what you don’t measure, so the first step to taking action is to start tracking everything. This means your income, your expenses, your time, and even your emotions. Once you have a clear picture of where you are, you can start making changes. It may seem daunting at first, but it really doesn’t take much more than ten minutes each day. Start by identifying a few simple things that might be holding you back, like eating unhealthy foods or not exercising enough. Then make one small change in these areas each week until they become habits!
Focus on a single category at a time
When it comes to taking action, it’s important to focus on one thing at a time. Trying to do too many things at once can lead to overwhelm and ultimately, inaction. So pick one area of your life that you want to change and make a plan for how you’re going to do it. Then take things one step at a time until you reach your goal. And remember, even if you don’t achieve everything you set out to do, taking action is always better than doing nothing. Sometimes the process is more important than the outcome. A journey begins with a single step, right? One way to get started is by picking a specific category (such as eating healthy) and making a list of all the ways in which you’ll improve this category in your life. These are called SMART goals because they are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
Understand your habits, then change them.
You can talk about wanting to save money all you want, but until you take actionable steps to change your spending habits, you’ll never see real progress. Track your spending for a month and find areas where you can cut back. Then, make a budget and stick to it. Only by taking action will you be able to improve your financial situation. Review your habits, then change them. Track your spending for a month and find areas where you can cut back. Make a budget and stick to it. If necessary, seek out professional help from an accountant or other trusted advisor who has the expertise that you need. There are many ways to reduce expenses and increase income, such as negotiating with your employer for a raise or cutting cable TV services. The key is being honest with yourself and focusing on what needs to happen in order to reach your goals.

Reward yourself for reaching milestones
Reaching a milestone is a great feeling, whether it’s in your personal life or in your professional career. But don’t just sit back and enjoy the moment- use it as motivation to keep going. And what better way to reward yourself for all your hard work than with a little something special? Whether it’s a new toy, a night out on the town, or just a quiet evening at home with your favourite book, make sure to give yourself a pat on the back when you reach those big goals.
1) To take this motivational mindset one step further, try rewarding yourself for every five per cent of progress towards your goal. That way there are even more milestones to celebrate along the way!
2) Be creative: there are lots of ways to treat yourself that cost very little money.
3) Figure out how much you’ll need for each reward so that you can budget accordingly–you may need more money if some rewards require tickets or reservations!
Step back from the numbers every now and then
Action speaks louder than words, and it’s time to put your money where your mouth is. It’s easy to get caught up in the numbers game and forget what’s really important: the people you’re trying to help. Take a step back from the numbers every now and then and remember why you’re doing this in the first place. The people you help will appreciate it, and you’ll be better off for it in the long run.

As he walked out of the office building, he took a deep breath of fresh air – it was good to feel like himself again.
