Details

Everyone wants to teach women how to build businesses, but almost nobody is talking about the woman doing the building. But after 16 years in business and nearly 3 million podcast downloads, I've become convinced of something: You are the best asset your business has. Which means that who you are, how you show up, what you believe, and what brings you to life are the business-building tools we *need* to be talking about. In this weekly-ish show, I explore ambition, creativity, visibility, reinvention, delight, and the messy, ongoing work of becoming more yourself on purpose. Because being who you are isn't something you do after you've made it, it's what makes everything else possible. tiffanyhan.substack.com

Ep. 438: How to *Actually* Take Action In 3 Simple Steps
<p dir="ltr">For many of us, taking action can feel like an uphill battle, even if we’re motivated or inspired. The weight of uncertainty, fear of failure, and the allure of procrastination often paralyzes our best intentions. </p> <p dir="ltr">It’s a common struggle to transform a thought into some sort of tangible action. </p> <p dir="ltr">In my own life, I have found simple steps to take that help me actually get started. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>What I am sharing with you today:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How to take action (it’s not just about creating an attainable first step)</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The three steps that help us make things happen</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How to keep going!</p> </li> </ul> <h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Resources from this episode:</span></h2> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjQ621de2gI">Momentum: How to Find It (and keep it!)</a></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thetiffanyhan">The Raise Your Hand Say Yes Podcast is on YouTube now!</a> Head over there and subscribe and follow and like this episode and click the notifications button so you get a fancy little alert every time a new episode goes live.</p> <p dir="ltr">Got questions?

If we haven't done that step, then we're trying to jump forward, and it's harder.

Number one is the one that you take right before you do the thing, right before you take action. The second one is the one that you take after you've started because it lets you know that you survived.</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Envision taking the action.
