Just Do It - Post #1

What if Nike was right?
In this overwhelming world what One - 1 - I - thing would you "just do it?"
This is an experiment in synergy. Would love to hear your answer. It can be business or personal. You decide.

If I could "just do it", I would Get Healthy. Many times, I find myself held back by fear and the tyranny of past failures.
Thanks @Michael. Excellent points of why it's often difficult to just do it.
I would just start the projects that I have dreamed up rather then just dreaming up more projects - oh and I would just write that book

I'd stop talking about how I'm going to do strength training and just do it.
I am in the process of just doing it in starting my new business, Pawfun.com. It took me years to get to the point of just doing this, and I am so joyful about it i can hardly describe the feeling.
However, like most things worth doing, just doing it is not a one-step thing IMO.
I would just...move.
(but...do I just move closer to DC? Try South Carolina? Follow friends to San Diego?...it's the extra questions ans planning that kills this idea!)
I think Michael and Jacqueline summed it up for me... MAKING the time to follow-through I think is important.
Hi Toby,
As I mentioned in my Tweet, I decided to pose this question to my executive women's networking group (The Goddess Group). Here are the answers I got:
- jump out of a plane
- connect with people authentically
- need to "do it" more often
- adventure travel
- like to "just do it" but, as a woman I often feel too vulnerable either physically or emotionally.
And lastly, my own answer... it's my mantra!

Yay! waking up in the morning. For a writer, what can I say, that's an accomplishment.
And writing a bit each day. That's how I'll just do it.
@Jacqueline - sometimes those new ideas are a procrastination for me. can't wait to read your book!
@BL - congrats! on your new venture.
@Emma - so many opportunities!
@Leigh - yes! one of my challenges also
@Jennifer - thanks for including your Goddess Group .. love when online goes offline comes back online!
@AG - little steps lead to giant accomplishments!
If I could just do it, I'd build a big enough company that I could vacation whenever I wanted and not be there all the time.
I would just finish the "About" page on my new blog venture still under construction!! I'd also do my BlogWorld follow-up plans...
@Rebeca - it's the seemingly little things that frequently trip me up also
Hmmmm,good question. I would take my Mom's very good advice and put my butt in a chair to start writing my first novel--or a blog.
Cheers,
Kate
More than 25 years ago (before Nike's famous 'just do it' I worked for a company who handed out the prehistoric version of a blackberry to convention goers. The motto 'Make it Happen." I've lived that motto all my life. So today I say if I had to 'Make it Happen' it will be optimum health.
Great post (as always :-)
I would take 18 months, a digital camera, a small suitcase, and my laptop and study how culture influences fashion strictly by observation. I would take in the local foods and shop at tables along dirt roads, all the while capturing my experience on film. When I returned home I would create my first coffee table book titled "No Fear, Just DIVA - International Edition" and buy a loft with hard wood floors and large windows with a view of the mountains in any city that doesnt get snow
i'd pack up my computer, kids & house & head for the villa in Tuscany, Italy with my name on it!:-)
