To achieve a goal, you must start working towards achieving it.

Based on the numerous quotes about action/ execution and inaction, i decided to add a new statement.

To achieve a goal, you must start working towards achieving it.

Abdallah Alaili

Simple statement … to achieve something you should work towards achieving it.
Might at first sound obvious, but you would be surprised how many people have goals they want to achieve, and yet do not take any steps towards achieving them.
I admit that this quote was inspired by the many quotes i wrote about, like:
Bill Gates – Overestimate & underestimate the change … Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction
The only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking any risks – Mark Zuckerberg
Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it.
The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.
Talk is cheap. Execution is everything.
It’s easy to have ideas, it’s very hard to turn an idea into a successful product – Jeff Bezos
There’s no shortage of remarkable ideas, what’s missing is the will to execute them – Seth Godin
