Conquering the head nod

The head nod is horrible. You know, that’s when you see someone nodding their head, not to sleep, but in agreement with you.

When you see the head nod, you know you’re not going to get further than that.

I’ve come to a point where, if I deliberately try, I can get a head nod. But I always want way more. I don’t just want people to agree with me. I want them to actually do something about it.

For that matter, I want to do something about it.

I’m still working on how to accomplish that. Right now, though, I’m scared. I’m scared I’ll lapse back into lameness.

But that’s what I’m working on: motivating.

…because that’s what we need now.

Suggestions?
