3. Entrepreneurial Achievers Have an Action Bias

Desire provides the fuel required to make decisions. The next step is the action phase—making something happen. It's action that creates results, and results create achievement.

Action means just what it implies: Recognizing an opportunity, then stepping out and giving a decision life. Achievers in the action phase are intensely interested in realizing the greatest return in the least time. While the achiever may often be impetuous in the action phase, that's more desirable than procrastination. The research is done. The ducks are in a row. Time to get down to business.

Those with a profound bias for action drive entrepreneurial America, and to some extent corporate America. They grease the wheels of enterprise, creating action where there was none. For them, the world of business is a field of luscious grass, and they've got the lawn mower.
