When you\u2019re able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-overcome-your-fears\/\">overcome your fears<\/a> and persist beyond what you thought were your limits, you\u2019re not only building momentum\u2014you\u2019re also learning your true motivations for pursuing your ultimate goals. The struggles you face as you do the daily work to move closer to your dream help to clarify why your ambitions are worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s important is that you <strong>take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-take-action-on-your-goals\/\">action toward your goals<\/a> instead of waiting for the perfect time to begin.<\/strong> Simon Alexander Ong insists that even small, consistent steps lead to progress over time. Don\u2019t fall for the common misconception that you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/becoming-an-expert\/\">be an expert<\/a> before putting your energy into your dream, whether that\u2019s writing a novel, starting a business, or bucking for a promotion. What we rarely realize is that everyone else is learning as they go as much as we are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Action First, Motivation Second<\/strong><br><br>Persistence, motivation, and getting started toward your goals may be even more interconnected than Ong suggests, and in a different way than most of us realize. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-motivation-myth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Motivation Myth<\/em><\/a>, Jeff Haden presents the perspective that counter to what most of us believe, motivation comes <em>after <\/em>we take action, not before. <br><br>According to Haden, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-motivation-myth\/1-page-summary#repetition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">motivation is the momentum that keeps you moving forward<\/a> through a repeating, self-energizing cycle. That energy comes as a physiological response in your brain\u2019s reward center that sets up a positive feedback loop with every small victory you make.Haden agrees with Ong that you shouldn\u2019t wait for the \u201cperfect moment\u201d to start working toward your aspirations, but he does insist that you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-motivation-myth\/1-page-summary#preparation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prepare before taking your initial leap<\/a>. <br><br>To succeed, you must first design a program that will help you build the momentum you\u2019ll need to accomplish your objectives. Preparation will give you the energy boost to cross your first hurdles, after which, the small, consistent steps Ong recommends will fuel your motivation to keep going. Once you get over that initial hump, it\u2019s much easier to keep moving forward.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When trying something new, you\u2019re bound to be nervous, but Ong says you can <strong>use your fear to drive your progress,<\/strong> rather than letting it be a barrier. Maintain your positive-energy mindset, and you\u2019ll be surprised what new chances the world will bring your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-10x-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The 10X Rule<\/em><\/a>, Grant Cardone agrees with Ong that fear can be a good motivator, though beyond presenting it as mere \u201cnervous jitters,\u201d Cardone says that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-10x-rule\/chapters-16-18-21#1-fear-of-risk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fear can indicate that you\u2019re on the right track<\/a> and that you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-push-yourself\/\">pushing yourself<\/a> beyond your comfort zone. Embracing fear enables you to do new things and grow, but Cardone also says to be careful\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-10x-rule\/chapters-16-18-21#an-important-fact-about-fear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the longer you let fear build up, the stronger it becomes<\/a>.
