The Science of Taking Action | Steve Garguilo | TEDxCarthage
Over the past two years, Steve has studied with psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, neuroscientists, and drill sergeants to learn about the science of taking action and what sparks people or holds people back. After being involved in the TED community and a lot of design thinking work, Steve was tired of talking about ideas, so he went on a journey to understand how to take more clear, specific action on ideas, and learned how to create a bias towards action so that it becomes a norm.
Steve Garguilo works with people from all walks of life from all over the world to help them make their ideas happen. He led the revolution to transform the culture of the 5th largest company in the world by instigating and shaping a global grassroots movement at Johnson & Johnson that engaged 23,000 employees and led to countless stories of product and people development. In February 2017, he released his Amazon Bestselling book, Surge: Your Guide to Put Any Idea into Action. His company Action Surge focuses on helping people take clear, specific actions on ideas.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Damn I wish that were true. Some bumps in the road are hard, you just gotta grit your teeth and put the pedal to the metal.
This really strikes me. I collect a lot of information, however, when it comes to taking action, I hardly ever do anything. That's why I'm here. Watching this video after doing the '7 levels deep'. I really need to start taking action.

I'm watching this Silvester 2019. In the last decade, I've been a no-action taker. learning things, procrastinating, fake action. Above all things that I want to do/become in the new decade, it's to take action. Without it, there will be nothing.

Nicely done Steve and great message. You are certainly an embodiment of what it means to take action on your ideas. Impressive.
ThankYou TED X talks and Steve Garguilo - bringing forth this Idea of Actualising after Ideas Hit you . Instead of Postponing To Later . Ideas are Worth spreading and Whats even more important is taking responsibility to believe in it no matter what and Action Pronto ! 🙏
So true! Come to think of it I don't immediately act on my BIG ideas. I think this small change alone will make a BIG difference. Where focus goes energy flows, time to be intentional.....IMMEDIATELY 💫💫
Two main causes why people don't act is one the fallacy of being perfect in the first attempt and second the fear to be judged taking an unconventional or unapproved approach

Wonderful talk. I loved watching it.
I loved the concept of action being a muscle . Never thought of it that way .
Thank you Steve for this, It's helpful.
Brilliant! Thanks a lot, I needed to hear this
The best ted talk by far by relevance of today societal needs.
ACTION IS A MUSCLE. i'm sitting here and thinking, it mostly boils down to habit just like everything else. DON'T SET OUT TO DO IT LATER. saying you'll do it later becomes a habit, we try to stay in our comfort zone but we need to get in the habit of getting out of it. *commit to taking action right now* Don't make it bigger than it is. IT IS EASIER TO COME UP WITH IDEAS WHEN IT IS FOR OTHERS *Action storming* generating actions for other's ideas *Every in life that is hard is made of a series of easy tasks, just take the first step.* COMMIT TO YOURSELF.
You know what ? Because you have been struggling on working on your ideas, work or anything you think and You just searched how to take action on Google or youtube, and now you're here. So can we say that you already took 1st step of taking action that this guy says in this video ? Eh ?

I think it's important to notice that those people who demonstrated the success by taking action, they don't j u s t taken action, the action was accompanied by inspiration and desire, i.e. really great positive feelings. The action had not been taking from the place of fear, anxiety, low-self esteem, and so on, because what ever action you will take which is based on the self-limiting negative beliefs in the long term is a short lived. If we think from the perspective - change your mind (or state of Being) and your reality will change accordingly, we can say that - change your beliefs and thoughts and your actions will be really productive which will produce joy and satisfaction for yourself and most importantly for others.

Summary Action is muscle We want to set aside time later It’s easier to generate actions for other people than our Actionstorm Take first step. I’m gonna take action and I’m gonna make things happen
Only repetitive action is like a muscle. New activity or action that takes effort and planning is very much like playing music for the first time and therefore quite difficult and of putting for most people. They look for guidance and tutors.

Yeah you are right
Action, action and action causes burn outs. This is a very old perception. Take action with the right authentic plans. What is suitable for you and what makes you happy. Understand and discover your WHY. This is very important. Not all advises and ideas of others are suitable for YOU.
my muscle action is so strong when it comes to window shopping and proceed to buy it....
what if you have way too many ideas that are big projects? i want to do stuff when i want to do, but it reserves time that i have to take away from things that i need to do right now
I'll take action later Inchallah...
In Shaa Allah (by the will/grace of God)
Actually Insha'Allah is not the word procrastination. It means by the permission of Allah. Because not a leaf moves without Allah's permission. As Muslims, we don't use this word to gloss over things. We use it to mean that we can handle it with Allah's permission. Of course, first of all, we must strive for everything ourselves. However, no matter how hard we try, we know that nothing will happen unless Allah allows it. Of course, I have to admit that some Muslims use this word to gloss over things 🙂 After all, we are all human and we can make mistakes 🙂😊
Most action orientated person I've ever known has ADHD. He would have an idea and would smash it until it was done and then go straight onto the next thing. Strange

"At one store triple your prices...." sounds like a solution on how to close your store.
By the way, "En Sha Allah" means "if God permits" or "Hope to God"
InshaAllah
You should have your own perspective towards each and every thing...

I know this is late. Anyway, take action is usually used to refer to something not specific/general. On the other hand take an action used when you talk for example about the hard time you have to start going to the gym, and I say just take an action, which is going to the gym. Take an action is specific to one thing.
Imagine taking action when you're broke.
Hahaha Insha'Allah😂
Inshallah made me laugh😂😂

for litterally i take zero real action for 3 years that means doesnt take real action which is involved real person as i dont reach out directlly and personally to a person that makes me dont have any single freind and have zero chat, i dont earn any single money literally $0 because i dont take any real action of implement skills i have learned but i takes so many mini comfort action such as so much studying learning a lot of skills but doesnt even implement them, read books, takes notes of them, think too much, plan strategiclly so much, workout, watch podcast youtube tutorials, and i am quite consistent and dicipline on it but there all have no results because of zero real action yeah it is so hard to take real action actually the hardest of all the things even i have known they why i must take action, the how and step by step, all the resources and knowledge have but it still deosnt get me to takes the real action but despite of that i still have the strong belief of my skills, intteligence, strong will, goals would i pursue and i convince that i can acheive my biggest goals and i know i am great enough but the real action is so hard to takes i dont know why this still happens as i read much of solutions on books and the internet about self sabotage, procastination, laziness, but still cannot take the real action i think it is very easy to take action that doesnt involve person/people but it comes so hard when it involve people directlly, in that called real action can someone help me out?
