Following through may not be the sexiest “life hack,” but it’s pretty up there.

If you want to be an extraordinary person who makes things happen, it’s the greatest power you can learn to follow through (or follow up) with others and with yourself.

Here are different forms of follow-through you should do now.

We believe in certain messages and assumptions we grew up with. Some have stood the test of time. Some can keep you stuck.

When you feel stuck in life, you end up being frustrated in unproductive ways that slowly decay your life if you don’t change things.

They say timing is everything. Then order, too, is everything. Sometimes the change you need to get unstuck is simple but powerful.

Here are some counterintuitive reverse orders you can consider:

1. Action leads to motivation
2. Choice leads to preference
3. Skills lead to passion
4. Doing leads to understanding
5. Quantity leads to quality

Counterintuitive ideas like these are some of my favorite things to think about. I explain each of these below.

Everyone wants a “mentor” to coach them through their business, academics, or career.

How do you get one? How much would it cost? Is there going to be work involved?

Like with anything else, you get out what you put into it. The quality of input determines the quality of output.

There seem to be very convenient cliches out there:

• We “don’t have time” (we don’t make time)
• “Time is the most valuable resource” (time is nothing without your energy or attention)
• “Life is short” (even though we love to procrastinate)

We love to use these catch-all phrases as justification. We create these TV commercials in our minds and end up calling the toll-free number.

Consider this…
