Full Episode
I truly believe that the main reason people don't actually go after their goals and make them happen is because of this one simple thing. This thing that everyone can relate to, it's that feeling when you tell someone the incredible things that you're about to do as your New Year's resolution, and then you don't do it. Stop telling people about your goals.
Why are you telling people about what you're going to do before you've even done it? Well, I'll tell you why. Because the dopamine you get from telling somebody that you're going to make something happen is way, way bigger in the moment than actually thinking through how you're going to make something happen.
And that's why a lot of us fall short, is because we have this idea, we have this thing we want to make happen, And we are so eager about it that we want to share that eagerness and that passion with other people. But what happens when you do that and you share it with the wrong people is, well, you don't really have the motivation to go and do it.
And it's funny because in my life, every time I've given an idea out and I've been like, I want to do this, I actually haven't been met with that much hatred or opposition. Most people have been very, very supportive of me and saying, yeah, go out and do it. And that has hindered my ability to actually execute things.
It's almost like, oh, I got the validation that I was looking for and then I just don't make it happen.
All of the good things in my life that I have wanted to make happen, for example, whether that was moving to a new city, going on an awesome road trip with my best friend from Poland on the East Coast, visiting Europe, working with brands, doing video content and art, being able to interview people on camera. I didn't tell really anyone about it. I just did it.
And when you do and show instead of tell, well, you are able to execute so much more. You're able to make so many more things happen. So I want you to think about
2025 is right around the corner you probably have things that you want to do this year you have things you've been holding on to for a long time whether that's getting back in the gym whether that's figuring out how to start that business idea and start drop shipping not really but you probably have something that really resonates with you that you really want to get done stop telling people think through it yourself
Talk to yourself about it. That's the person who's going to make it happen. Even if you have an idea that requires someone else to get the ball rolling with you, you have to be that initiator. You have to be that person who's going to go out of their way and make it happen because ain't nobody coming to save you. and no one's gonna come and hold your hand through it.
