A man received an investment idea but procrastinated on acting and later saw that someone else had done the investment. The author then discusses how procrastination can cause us to miss opportunities and shares five statements ("action triggers") that helped them overcome procrastination: 1) Why not me 2) Let the worst happen 3) By the laying of your hands 4) If you don’t somebody will 5) And finally using what I called “the end.” The author encourages ordering their book to learn more about using these statements from their own experience to stop procrastinating and take action.
