Create A Sense of Urgency

Creating a Sense of Urgency
Creating a Sense of Urgency involves you examining what actions you do daily and noting those habits which prevent you from meeting your goals. Once you have made note of those hindrances, develop a personal strategic plan on how best to change the habit. Keep your plan simple, remember taking a small step, is one step towards meeting your goal.
Consistency is paramount in creating your sense of urgency. Noting that a sense of urgency is not how fast you accomplish your goal or make your change.
