Increase Your Odds by Taking Action

If you want to change, take action

Sounds elementary, doesn’t it?

Taking action is mandatory if you want something to change. I think everyone inherently knows this, but it’s probably the hardest thing to do. Why is it so hard? It’s hard because once you take action, you’re putting yourself out there on the line. What if it doesn’t work out?

Many people get paralyzed with the thought of something not working. They are highly worried about it not working. They are concerned about how people will view them. They are concerned with what people will think about them. They become paralyzed by fear.

Give yourself an opportunity

Learn to kick fear to the side and say to yourself, “I’m going to give it my all. I’m going to take action at the highest level to make sure that I can give myself an opportunity.” If you do this, you’re giving yourself an opportunity to win.

Zero action = zero opportunity.

Action at least gives you a chance. It doesn’t mean that it’s going to work, but the opportunity is there. That’s what’s crazy. I’ve taken action on numerous things that ended up not working. If it doesn’t work, so what? Keep coming back again and again.

What happens? You finally stumble across something that gains some traction. On the other hand, what are the consequences of inaction? What’s the alternative? Staying the same? Quitting?

Be your own science project

I’m like my own fucking science project. I’m trying to find the winners. The variables that work in my equation. People always ask, “What if you try that and it doesn’t work?” My response: “Well, what if it does work?”

What if waving the band tension works? Our guys are stronger than ever. What happens when I message the CEO of Rolls-Royce about my story? He ended up featuring my story on the Rolls-Royce owner app. What happens if I message this or that person from Barstool about my podcast? Sure, they didn’t end up buying it, but they listened and gave me a meeting. You just never know what’s going to happen.
