So action is required as long as you can possibly see a way to take action.
By the way, don't listen to these LoA (and subjective reality) advocates too much. Having lived a long, left-brained life so far, they -including Steve- just found out about their right brains and they are ecstatic. I am extremely happy for them, but now they completely forgot about the left side. Shame. I am sure, sooner or later, they'll realize they need both sides to be whole!

Pigeonholing how something should or could manifest is a recipe for disappointment.. Sometimes it works out as you imagined it would, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it doesn't work out at all... This simply means that there is something beyond your subjective experience of reality. If you turn into a LoA/IM/SR lemming though, you might not be able to see that. They'll have you believe "you just didn't think hard enough, you have subconscious thoughts, beliefs blocking the manifestation" etc... Which may be the case, but even that shows you, there are layers of reality beyond the grasp of your consciousness! If you had grasped them, they wouldn't be blocking you now, would they?
For clarification: I am not disagreeing with LoA, SR or IM. The one-ness, the visualization, the faith and all that "mental" stuff is surely necessary and an active part of manifestation. And so is action. But these are only correlated with what is going to unfold in the next moments. Not the cause! "You" (as in, the body and the mind within the body) seem to be the center of it all, but just like Earth isn't the center of the universe (even though it seemed that way for a long time), you are not the center of consciousness either.
In short, be careful what you believe. It blinds you to everything else and you won't even know what you missed! You do ultimately have to believe though. You can't be jello-like all the time either. So pick your beliefs very wisely!
