From Insight to Action

Alli encourages us to "book the theater", which generally means to commit to the #1 action that imposes a deadline make progress in a tangible external way (i.e. thinking "I'll do X by Y." is not enough).

When Jen and Alli had the idea to act out the internet, physically booking the theater locked them into the decision and got them to take a fun idea into a hilarious reality.

Now it's your turn.

Your Joyney: Share with us one idea, project, or outcome that you've been wanting to accomplish and what you plan to do this month to "book the theater" within the Empjoyment Community.
