Summary
This week I want to discuss the importance of taking action in various aspects of our lives, particularly in business and personal growth. Specifically, how imperfect action is better than inaction, the significance of overcoming overwhelm by taking small steps, and how consistent action builds confidence and leadership. I want you to lead with vision and take bold actions to achieve your goals.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends, welcome to Level Up with Debbie Neal. I am your host. There is nowhere. I would rather be |
| 0:09.8 | than right here, right now with you. This podcast is all about leveling up in all aspects of our lives. |
| 0:17.0 | Thank you for being here. I am so grateful. I'm excited to be on this journey with you. |
| 0:22.6 | Together, we are leveling up. You ready? |
| 0:29.5 | Hello, my level up friends. We are going to get right into it today and we're going to talk |
| 0:35.6 | about action. I love action. How many times do we sit |
| 0:39.2 | and we think, whether it's about business, whether it's about a relationship, whether it's about our |
| 0:43.9 | health, we sit and we ponder and we overthink and we try to wait for the most perfect moment |
| 0:51.1 | to move our life forward. There's no such thing. And so sometimes it has to be a little |
| 0:56.3 | bit messy. You ever hear of like imperfect action is so much better than no action at all. |
| 1:02.8 | So action leads to result. And you're all here to level up. You're all here to take your business |
| 1:08.3 | and your life to the next level. And so it all starts with |
| 1:12.5 | action. And sometimes we feel overwhelmed. Like we don't even know where to start. And so the best |
| 1:17.4 | advice I could give you is literally put one foot in front of the other. One of the stories that I |
| 1:23.1 | always tell that sounds so simple and really ridiculous is one of the things that I do not like to do, |
| 1:28.7 | and I really don't do it often myself, is put Christmas lights on a Christmas tree. |
| 1:34.0 | Like, I just don't like it. Now, if I were to just do it, I have a big Christmas tree, |
| 1:38.2 | I could be done in an hour. But instead, I do it, and then I take a break, and then I do it, and then I take a break and then I do it and then I take a break. |
| 1:46.3 | And I'm like looking at this tree that's like not making any progress. But if I just say, |
| 1:50.6 | Debbie, just keep going. One foot in front of the other, like an hour goes by. But because I |
| 1:55.9 | took action and didn't sit and scroll and sit in my BS, I got it done. So I want you to just apply that. |
| 2:02.9 | We've also heard, like, I don't even know who came up with this saying. Like, how do you eat an |
