In this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt explain that the biggest obstacle to success isn't a lack of knowledge, but a lack of action. They present three practical strategies to help listeners close the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

1. Shrink Your Starting Line

The hosts suggest overcoming overwhelming goals by focusing on the immediate, smaller steps. They use the analogy of running a long distance, where instead of thinking about the entire route, you focus on reaching the next landmark. This concept is embodied in the "two-minute rule," which encourages you to commit to a task for just two minutes. This small action builds momentum, reduces procrastination, and often leads to doing more than you initially planned.

2. Engineer Your Environment

Your surroundings can either support or sabotage your goals. The hosts advise setting up your environment for success by removing distractions (like phone notifications or open computer tabs) and ensuring you have what you need to succeed. They use the example of a morning workout: laying out your clothes and sneakers the night before removes potential barriers and makes it easier to follow through on your plans.

3. Leverage Accountability and Consequences

Finally, the hosts discuss the power of accountability. They explain that a consequence isn't always a punishment; it can be a positive or negative result that motivates you. By involving an accountability partner, you create a social consequence where you don't want to let someone down. They also suggest using a simple visual system, like a calendar or a hash mark on a wall, to track your progress. This "gamification" of your goals helps you stay consistent, as small, consistent actions are the key to long-term achievement.
