I thought it wouyld be a good idea to follow up yesterdays post!
'Keep on, keeping on!'
That was the message right? Seems to simple to say but much more difficult to put into action. Sure things get easier the more we do them, but what is the 'science' behind it.
Digging into my old journal, I think I have the answer for that...
Cool quote huh?
I actually came up with that in like 2016 or something...I know, I know, sometimes I even surprise myself :)
But enough about my creative genius lol Let's break this down and see how this quote really puts it into perspective, how we can measure our growth day to day.
Action.
The magic word right?
As an entrepreneur, personal development student, life long learner and general noob in all things tech...Action speaks much louder than words. Action is what matters day in and day out. Here's why....
Reading a great book about building businesses online?
Absolutely useless unless you put what you learn into action! This truly is what separates the excuse makers to the successful entrepreneurs.
But wait...There's more!
The quote goes onto say, that action breeds results. And we know that but exactly how does it generate results for us?
Here's where we learn that confidence doesn't mean that you strut around with your chest puffed out. There is no ego and pride here. What confidence does for an entrepreneur is it allows them to be o.k. with failure. When you fail a few times (and it doesn't kill you) you understand the process, you have learned from it and you pick yourself up and keep moving forward.
The more of this 'picking up' you do, the results start to increase which turns into more confidence to....
And here's the money shot. Are you ready?
To keep TRYING new things!
A little story quickly before we hammer this point home....
We started building businesses on the blockchain about 5 years ago or so. In our little side of the internet, NO ONE and I mean NO ONE was into crypto back then. They said it was a scam, that we were foolish and we wouldn't last the year.
But we kept trying things....
Sure, not everything we did was a huge success. Anyone remember Bitcoin Bully? lol
But we grew in our confidence when it came to building and bringing people to the blockchain. Heck, look at Blain now, he's a Hive expert lol We were o.k. to try new things and fail every now and again. And what's pretty funny, a lot of those same people in affiliate marketing and online marketing are now 'all in on crypto'....5 years after we introduced them to it!
The point is, action breeds the results while fuelling your confidence to experiment.....
That's one of my favorite quotes of all time from Herb Kelleher, the old CEO of Southwest Airlines. There's a reason I have it behind my desk for all to see every time I'm on camera and to remind myself...
The entrepreneur...Does things. They take action every single day. They know, they may fail. But they are o.k. with it. Because they know, at the end of the day most of their competition won't take action, it'll be easier for them to stick out and most of all....They'll build the confidence to keep showing up and throwing things against the wall.
You never know what may stick ;)
