ACTION!: The Difference Between Dreamers And Achievers!


Most people, at some point or another, perceive, conceive and believe in certain dreams, which are meaningful to them! Similarly, when someone in a position of leadership, proceeds with the necessary degree of discipline, commitment, and personal vision, he begins to earn the right, to be considered, a leader! However, unless/ until, he does something, proactively, about it, little of consequence, happens for his organization, and, once - again, we witness another case, which ends up, as little, more - than - empty promises, and rhetoric. Even, when the individual, is sincere, and well-intended, achieving something, which might, hopefully, make a relevant, sustainable difference, for the better, it is necessary to take clear, well-considered, ACTION, to meet, and exceed, one's objectives. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and why it matters.

  1. Attention; aptitude; articulate; attitude; action plan: A real leader must be ready, willing, and able of paying keen attention, to what his group needs, and its strengths, weaknesses, obstacles, and challenges! It takes the discipline and commitment to obtain a relevant aptitude, and, skill - set, to align one's dreams, with achievements! This only becomes possible, when someone proceeds, consistently, with a true, positive, can-do, attitude, and, openly, articulate and inspiring, motivating message, to those he serves and represents! Beginning with an objective evaluation, including whether the organization's mission, is still relevant, etc, groups, generally, benefit, when they periodically, use strategic planning, to perceive and conceive of, create, and implement, the best possible, action plan, for the specific organization, at this point, in time!
  2. Character; change; creative; coordinate: One must possess a true, quality of character, which puts the best interests of the group, and constituents, ahead of any personal/ political agenda, and/ or, self - interest! The change serves little purpose, unless it brings about a difference, for the better! Aligning creative alternatives, with time - tested approaches, let someone coordinate, activities, to the best, of his abilities!
  3. Timely; time - tested; trends: When one knows, recognizes, and clearly understands, relevant trends, and is professionally trained, to know, the rime - tested principles, etc, and aligns that, with the self - confidence, and ability to proceed, in a well-considered, timely manner!
  4. Integrity; innovate; imagination; instincts; intentions: Great leaders must possess, as well as perceived as possessing, absolute, genuine integrity, especially, when doing so, may not be convenient! They need a meaningful image, and a readiness to innovate when it is in the group's best interests! When one hones his skill - set, and service-oriented, intentions, he has the best chance of transforming dreams, to relevant actions!
  5. Options; opportunities; organize; open - mind: The willingness and ability to consider various options and alternatives, with an open - mind, enhances the possibilities, potential, and opportunities, to make a true, necessary, change, for the better! How one organizes the specifics, differentiates, between, being possible, and more probable!
  6. Needs: Leading and making decisions, must focus on the needs, goals, priorities, and perceptions of stakeholders, and, never, the leader's personal/ political agenda, and/ or, self - interest!

Taking well-considered, ACTION, is the only way, to consistently, reliably, transform dreams, to achievements! Are you up to the task?

Starting a Business: Expectations VS. Reality

Expectations The first expectation will be, the business will be a success. Very few people start a new business expecting it to fail or have a limited financial reward. Secondly, there will be financial rewards and personal achievement. The new business owner will be looking forward to creating fantastic relationships with both clients and suppliers. Their clients will value their product or service. Clients will become an advocate for their business. Invoices paid on time and in full clients will be courteous and respectful. Suppliers will provide value for money. Ordered goods are delivered. Suppliers will not supply faulty goods. Discounts offered to loyal clients. Setting goals helps with Business expectations.

Biden international support is strong despite domestic struggles

  Biden  says  international support  for him is  strong  despite domestic struggles. In a Biden administration, America will lead by example and rally the world to meet our common challenges that no one nation can face on its own, from climate change to nuclear proliferation, from great power aggression to transnational terrorism, from cyberwarfare to mass migration. Democracy is the root of American society, the wellspring of our power, and the source of our renewal. It strengthens and amplifies our leadership to keep us safe in the world. It is the engine of our ingenuity that drives our economic prosperity. It is the heart of who we are and how we see the world—and how the world sees us. That is why America’s ability to be a force for progress in the world and to mobilize collective action starts at home. The United States must lead not just with the example of power, but the power of our example. The united state need to protect undocumented membe...
