David Nurse’s “Do It: The Life-Changing Power of Taking Action” is a book that explores the idea that success doesn’t just come from hard work – it comes from taking action. In this conversation with Dave Asprey, Nurse explains why taking action is often the missing piece that keeps people from reaching their goals.
The Nine Action Archetypes
The Nurse identifies nine action archetypes explaining why people might struggle to take action. These are:
1. Dreamer
2. Dabbler
3. Procrastinator
4. Perfectionist
5. Worrier
6. People Pleaser
7. Self-Doubter
8. Excuse Maker
9. Overthinker
By understanding which archetypes best describe your behavior, you can start to identify the specific roadblocks that are getting in your way.
Developing Your Unique Strengths
One way to overcome these roadblocks is to develop your unique strengths. You might not be able to overcome your weaknesses, but you can leverage your strengths to progress toward your goals.
This means identifying what you’re already good at and using those strengths to your advantage. For example, if you’re naturally good at problem-solving, try applying that skill to your challenges.
Seeking Wise Counsel
Another important step towards taking action is seeking wise counsel. This means finding people you trust who can offer you advice and support.
Having a mentor or coach can be incredibly valuable, especially if they’ve gone through similar challenges themselves. They can offer you guidance, accountability, and a fresh perspective on your situation.
Eliminating Hesitation
Finally, Nurse emphasizes the importance of eliminating hesitation. One of the main reasons people don’t take action is because they’re worried about making the wrong choice.
However, Nurse argues that repetition, instinct, and trust are the key to overcoming this fear. By developing daily habits (repeat), listening to your gut (instinct), and believing in the process (trust), you can build the confidence you need to start taking action.
Tools to Help You Take Action
Throughout the conversation, Nurse offers a variety of tools and strategies to help people overcome their particular action archetype and start progressing toward their goals.
For example, he suggests developing a morning routine that sets you up for success, using visualization to picture yourself achieving your goals, and keeping a journal to track your progress and identify areas for improvement.
Overall, Nurse’s book and this conversation with Asprey offer valuable insights into taking action and practical tips for achieving your goals. By identifying your action archetype, developing your unique strengths, seeking wise counsel, and eliminating hesitation, you can progress toward the life you want to live.
