What is the importance of action over ideas?
Innovation is rewarded. Innovation is when you come up with these ideas. Everybody always calling me with an idea. I'm like, I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but ideas don't pay mortgage. I'm tired of ideas. They come a dime a dozen.
You can actually have the best idea in the history of all mankind. And if you don't have discipline to make that happen, it doesn't matter at all. Your ideas are worthless.
Don't let that idea die inside your head. No more waiting. No more putting it off. No more excuses. Just execution.
Thinking alone won't get you anywhere.
How can discipline transform intentions into reality?
You gotta do. You have to do it. And you have to do it now. Don't put it off till tomorrow. Don't voluntarily do anything tomorrow that you should be getting done today. Get it done today. Tomorrow is not a viable option. Tomorrow doesn't work. You do it today. You get it done today. That's what you do. You start feeling that procrastination set in, attack it with violence of action. Attack it, destroy it, and move on. No hesitation. You initiate action.
Why should you stop procrastinating and take action now?
You go. Take that first step and make it happen.
And some of you are where you are. If you can be real with yourself, you have gotten yourself in some mess because of your feelings.
You don't feel like getting up. You don't feel like doing the work. You don't feel like working hard. And if you don't feel like working hard, then you better feel like losing, getting weaker, because that's what's going to happen.
At the end of your feelings is nothing. But at the end of your principle is a promise. So principle is, I just can't quit because I want to. I'm going to do what I said I'm going to do. That's the rules. Nobody cares where I come from. Nobody cares that I'm a high school driver.
What role do feelings play in our decision-making?
Can you execute? We live in a world that at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is execution. Good intentions have never helped somebody lose weight. Good intentions have never helped somebody finish school. Good intentions ain't never paid nobody bills. We not on intentions. We on execution. In order to make that a reality, No plays off. No days off. You need to dominate in your space. This is the year to get it done. This is the year to rid all excuses. You got to start off saying, this is exactly where I'm going. I don't care what happens.
How does urgency drive success in achieving goals?
I am not going to stop. I ain't talking about it no more. Like, this the thing I gotta get done. I can't keep talking about, I'm gonna finish this book. I can't talk about, I'm gonna get this degree. I will dominate this thing. I will get this thing done. This year I will make this goal become a reality. I won't talk about it anymore. From this point forward, execution is worship. I don't make the big bucks because I talk.
I make the big bucks because I execute. True winners understand that what drives improvement the most is a sense of desperation. The most valuable skills, the highest standards come when you literally have no choice. When it's do or die and your back's against the wall and having zero other options.
What are the consequences of making excuses?
is what forces you to get better. It's what drives you to become the best and equips you with the tools you need to succeed long term. This is why winners love it when they lack resources and their backs against the wall. They love when there's no other options because it forces action. So no matter what's happening, you got to get the job done. We've got people who make excuses, who want to blame society, blame their circumstances. But we also got people who are intense, who have urgency, who understand the need to win on everything. every opportunity presented to them. We've got people that understand there is no time to sit on your hands and wait. We have people that understand that they have to go out and do everything they can to make sure that not only do they get the job done, but that they are the best at it.
Those are the people that come in and are constantly putting up points on the scoreboard, no matter how many they already have. They are 100% urgent 100% of the time. You have to be urgent about continually doing the critical tasks, continually winning on a daily basis, continually showing everybody that not only are you good, but you're the best.
