Do You Have a Bias for Action?

I was poking around on MattLloyd.TV the other day, listening to some in-depth coaching sessions Matt has done with a few of his MTTB members. And I heard Matt gives some advice that really floored me. 
Matt was telling how he’d helped another member put together and a webinar to generate traffic and sales for her business. 
Matt showed her how to use a free webinar program. Then he told her to schedule a webinar and invite people to it within 24 hours! “Create the webinar before you have any idea what the content is going to be. Now you have a deadline. Now you’ve given yourself 24 hours to get the actual content done. And now you’ll work faster.”
Now, that’s what I call a bias for action!
But the more I think about it, the more I realize Matt is right. Setting deadlines, committing to action is the best way to get things done. It’s the best way to overcome inertia. It’s the best way to overcome procrastination. The best way to overcome stifling perfectionism. 
What’s the worst that could happen to this MTTB member? 
Maybe she looks a little foolish in front of a handful of webinar attendees. And that’s just a maybe.
But what she’ll gain in experience, overcoming her fears, feedback from real, live customers, and maybe even a few sales…will be well worth it. 
What do you need to commit to today? Set a date to do it…in 24 hours or less if at all possible. 
Commit first and figure out the details later.
