Doesn't mean you don't need a trainer, doesn't mean you shouldn't use one, I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that action is never gonna result in the outcome that you want.
doing a set of squats or doing five pushups, now that's something that could get the results that you want.
And so researching business names.
I wanna launch a business.
Or designing a logo.
Doesn't matter how many times you design your business logo, it's never gonna result in a paying customer.
Doesn't mean a business doesn't need a logo, but it's just one is motion, one is action.
So action is a behavior that can get the result that you want.
Motion is a behavior that makes you feel like you're making progress.
Why?
I think it's very natural to start with results and outcomes, but the results are not the thing that you really need to change.
You know, what you need is to be consistent, to stick with it.
You need to show up consistently.
You need to fall through on, you know, the actions that are going to lead to that outcome.
So I kind of think of it almost like the layers of an onion.
So the outermost layer of the onion are the results that you want the outcome.
So let's say lose 40 pounds.
The next layer in is the action, the plan that you have, the actions that you take.
Most of the time when people want to make a change, they're like, yeah,
yeah, I want this result, so I need to follow through on this plan.
