Nothing great was ever accomplished without inspiration. ~Earl Nightingale
There is an old biblical teaching. It goes something like this:
Seek and you shall find.
Ask and you shall receive.
Knock and it shall be opened unto you.
At first reading, most people don't quite get the meaning of these three simple sentences.
Theologians are all pretty clear in their understanding of this. Jesus was speaking to the twelve disciples. He was telling them that "the way" lies before them; but, there was something that THEY must do. Seek, ask, knock— in short, take action.
It's the same way with business. If you want to succeed at anything in life you have to take the bull by the horns— make it happen!
Nobody is going to drag you kicking and screaming to the finish line. It's up to you to decide whether or not you want something bad enough to work for it, to make it happen. That is why having a passion for what you are doing is so important.
If you are not passionate about your work you are in the wrong field. The good news is that it's seldom too late to do anything about it. Colonel Sanders did not become a success until he was in his sixties. Kentucky Fried Chicken was his great success story. Prior to KFC, the colonel had to reinvent himself. Finally, he had his day in the sun.
You can too, and it need not take four decades to get there. So, arm yourself with information. Set a goal. Create an action plan. Go for it.
Remember: The best way to get something done is to do it now!
