If you don’t step forward, you’ll always be in the same place—and in business, standing still is never an option. Discover how the habit of initiative isn't just for personal growth, but is the foundation for real leadership that moves your business forward.

What you need to know

Behind every successful entrepreneur is a willingness to take action. As Donna and Londina discuss, initiative is more than just breaking routine—it’s about stepping out of your comfort zone and taking responsibility for your own progress.

Without initiative, not only do you miss out on opportunity, but you risk unwittingly slipping backwards, because nothing in business stays stagnant. Initiative and leadership are partners: leaders are out front, showing the way, and that starts with making things happen instead of waiting for permission.

What you need to do

Start recognizing the limitations you set in your mind. Give yourself permission to make that first move, ask the question, or try the new approach—whatever it takes to step forward.

Embrace a mindset that welcomes discomfort as a sign of growth, not something to avoid.

Model initiative for those around you, whether that’s your team, your clients, or even your family, because your forward motion can inspire others to do the same.

Your Next Step

The next time you hesitate, remember the habit of initiative is the foundation of leadership and business growth—take one action today that moves you forward.
