Have you ever made a plan to start something and never end up doing it?  Maybe a New Years resolution to get healthier? Starting a business?  Training for a marathon?  One of the biggest mistakes we make is aiming forever.  When I mean forever I mean taking a VERY long time to take any action.  For instance, planning your New Years resolution to go to the gym and never actually going to the gym.  We get hung up on every single detail that we aim, aim, aim, and there is never a shot taken.  Listen in to find out how to not let this happen to you and to take action in the new year.
