Excellent email message from Dan Kennedy about the importance of multi-tasking and taking massive, simultaneous action, instead of trying to accomplish goals in a sequential fashion. However, I think there's a fine line. Sometimes, you can begin too many projects simultaneously, and end up overcommitting yourself (which leads to not meeting deadlines on time, or disappointing clients/vendors/family). So, I think simultaneous action combined with realistic expections (underpromise and overdeliver) is best. Article is excerpted below…

Sequential vs. Simultaneous

"Most people try to achieve whatever success they seek sequentially. First, get an education. Next, a job. Next, a business. Next, make a good income. Next, save. Next, invest. Etc.

Entrepreneurs who get wealthy live simultaneously, not sequentially. This is both a different mindset and use of a different set of practical skills.

Observe, for example, Donald Trump, who I was on a seminar program with last year.

Trump didn't get a hit TV show, then next in order, do a book, then next in order, aggressively leverage his brand beyond real estate, then next in order, start and complete one real estate project before beginning another, then next start speaking for $250,000.00 and up per speech, then next launch a magazine.

He put things into motion simultaneously. And if you give yourself the excuses of "he was already successful" or "easy for him –- he has lots of resources," you miss the point.

Success is all about resourcefulness, not waiting until you have resources. You attract resources by being resourceful. You attract more faster by massive, simultaneous action than timid, slow, sequential action.
