Taking the initiative
When you show initiative, you do things without being told; you find out what you need to know; you keep going when things get tough and you spot and take advantage of opportunities that others pass by. You act, instead of reacting, at home, at school, at work or at an organization you’re involved with.
Taking Initiative has become increasingly important as a skill/competence. Most organizations want employees who can think for themselves and take action without waiting for someone to tell them what to do. 
Taking Initiative means that you’re using your head and that you have the flexibility, drive and determination to achieve things. This is needed to push teams and organizations to innovate and to overcome competition. “Without initiative you will just basically sit back and let the world happen to you as opposed to making the world your oyster.”
﻿
Taking the Leap
Start Small: Taking action doesn't mean you have to do everything at once. Begin with small steps and gradually build momentum. Starting small allows you to learn and adapt as you go, and it reduces the risk of overwhelming yourself.
Take Initiative: Taking action often involves facing challenges and setbacks. Take the initiative and keep going, even when things get tough. Learn from failures and use them as opportunities to improve your approach. Embrace the responsibility to drive your idea forward and turn it into reality.
Embrace Adaptability: Flexibility is key when bringing an idea into reality. Be open to adjusting your plans based on new information, changing circumstances, or feedback. Adaptability allows you to stay agile and responsive to challenges.
Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. Recognize the effort and dedication you put into making your idea a reality. Celebrating milestones will keep you motivated and focused on the journey.
