I am sick and tired of hearing people talking about what they are going to do one day!

One Day I am going to start a business, One Day I am going to travel to Europe, One Day I am going to have a job I love.


One Day-One Day-One Day!!!!


We only have so many One Days. Each year you have 365 One Days and each day you lose One Day.

What are you waiting for – tomorrow is One Day yet to come, yesterday is One Day lost and today is One Day you are still talking about what you are going to do One Day. STOP IT! Today, stop talking and start moving towards that something you're putting off until One Day.

Right now, get a piece of paper and just start writing some ideas or thoughts about what you want to do.

If you want to lose weight, write down:

  • How much do you want to lose?

  • What are you going to eat?

  • Where are you going to exercise?

If you want to start a business, write down:

  • What kind of business?

  • Who can help me?

  • Why do I want to start one?

  • What free resources or classes are out there to help me?


If you want a new job, write down:

  • What do you really want to do for 8 hours a day?

  • Do you have the skill set for that ideal job? If not, what do you need to do in order to get them?

  • Is there somebody who I can talk to in that role who can mentor me into my ideal job?


Whatever it is, start now! Even if you have to do a voice memo to yourself while walking to a meeting or in the bathroom, start by opening your mouth and your mind towards what you want to do.

The average US Life Expectancy is 79 years which means you have a total of 61 years in adulthood which equates to 22,265 days left in your life when you are 18 years old. When you are 30 years old, you have 17,885 days left in your life. When you are 40 years old, you have 14,235 days left. When you are 50 years old, you have 10,585 days left in your life.

Do you see my point – your One Days are decreasing as you get older so now is the time to START doing that thing out there that is calling you!

Make today your ONE DAY!


Dave
