When all is said and done, more is said than done

“Here’s what you need to do this week”

That’s what one of my coaches told me this morning during our call.

(Yes, I have coaches. As well as mentors, consultants, trainers, and friends – both more and less “successful” at things I want to accomplish.)

But this email isn’t about the importance of having help, getting support, and continually improving (though you and I both know that’s the key ingredient that separates the winners from the… not-winners)

But rather it’s about accountability. Structure. A plan. And most important of all… Action.

Massive Action!

Or as my buddy Michael Gebben likes to say… Massive Imperfect Action.

Because Massive Imperfect Action beats Perfect Inaction every day of the week.

You see there’s a common thread between businesses that grow, thrive, and impact tens, hundreds, thousands, even millions.

And that common thread is a propensity for action.

In other words…

They DO stuff.

Lots of it!

All the time.

Action. Action. Action.

There’s a famous Aesop quote (later popularized by football coach Lou Holtz) that goes:

“After all is said and done, more is said than done”

Ouch!

I know I’ve been there.

  • Talking about things I was going to do… then didn’t.
  • Strategizing strategies of epic strategic proportions that would change the world!!!! And then not acting on them.
  • Or having the “perfect” idea for a new course, training, or webinar, and then letting it slip by… which in turn helps NO ONE!

So in the words of my coach:

“Here’s what you need to do this week”

You need to take action. Massive action.

Write that blog post, record that podcast, film that video, build that funnel, create that Facebook Ad, or make that sales call.

Don’t know how?

That’s cool!

But then ask for help!

And then do your best to take massive imperfect action.

Because in the end with “more being said than done” … you want to be the one doing, and not just saying.
