I was talking to a client today about how even finding the right phone number to call can make a big difference in whether or not we call to negotiate a bill or make an appointment.

If we know the number we can stick it next to the to-do item in our list. We both did that and since I had the number, I made the call. They were closed, but taking action created momentum so I made another call I needed to make.

What’s the most obvious first action you can take towards what you need to do?

That’s your next Minimum Viable Action (MVA).
