What is Action Faking?

"Action-Faking: when you take solitary and/or uncommitted action that is NOT part of a bigger process


For the aspiring entrepreneur who wants to get rich, be his own boss, and blah blah blah, "action-faking" is ordering cards from Vistaprint." - MJ Demarco, Millionaire Fastlane

  • Action faking is all the stuff we do that makes us feel good about our progress without actually making any meaningful progress.

    • What does Action Faking Look Like?

    Fitness

    • Getting a gym membership but not going to the gym
    • Buying exercise equipment but not using it
    • Reading articles on the best shoes for running or the best running form but not running

      • Nutrition

      • Planning your entire week of meals but not prepping them
      • Reading about the best diets
      • Getting a free nutrition consultation but not hiring the nutritionist

        • Finances

        • Reading books on how to save but not taking action

                • Why do we Action Fake?

                • It feels like progress
                • It doesn't require risk
                • It's a good starting point

                  • How to stop Action Faking

                  • Plan your first real action and schedule it
                  • Utilize accountability to get started
