Last night I went for a walk.
Fifteen minutes from home, it started to rain.
I had two choices:
Run (risky and messy) or walk (and get soaked).
As I stood there deciding, it hit me — most people spend too much time thinking and not enough doing.
Years ago, a friend named Barry and I decided to write a book.
I made plans, goals, and timelines.
Barry just started writing.
Three months later, Barry had finished his book.
I was still planning mine.
The lesson?
👉 Take action.
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” — Mark Twain
Tools or Skills?
Someone once asked, “Will this marketing course make me successful?”
It reminded me of Lewis Hamilton and me.
Same car, same track — but very different results!
The tools are the same.
The skills make the difference.
That’s why knowing what to say matters far more than the latest system or gadget.

Humour
The man who invented predictive text leaves behind a whiff,
two sins, and a doughnut.
My husband said he wanted something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in two seconds.
I bought him bathroom scales.
