Actions and Results Win

Don The Idea Guy April 11, 2020

It doesn’t matter how much you tell someone what you’re going to do or how much you argue with another person about how your theories about a project concept is worth a million bucks. It’s your actions and the results you get that will prove your point.

In a boxing match it’s not the fighter who talks about how hard he hits and how fast he moves that wins the match, it’s the boxer who actually hits the other fighter the hardest and avoids the punches thrown by their opponent. It’s those actions (not the trash talk) that wins the match and brings the desired results.

When you’re watching pre-game football reports it doesn’t matter who the sports reporters and analysts think is going to win. It doesn’t matter which city they’re playing in as the home team or as the visiting team. It doesn’t matter that the stats from all the other games that season indicate one team is more likely to win than the other.

What matters is the action that takes place on the field.

The team that makes the best plays leading to scoring opportunities, the team that employs the smartest defense strategies, and the team that turns their actions into positive results will win.

Even if you’re the odds-on favorite to win big, you’ll be the big loser if you just sit back and take it easy instead of taking big action.

My Three Words for 2022

Several years ago I started choosing an annual trio of words to help me stay on track with my goals, focus my actions, and guide my decision making. I copied the practice from Chris Brogan and you can click on that link in his name to visit Chris’ page to read about how he chooses […]

Want hot ideas? Let the tap run.

I’ve written in the past about how I come up with some many good ideas (spoiler alert: it’s because I also come up with so many bad ideas). I’ve also shared how important it is to throw away the first dozen or so ideas you come up with because they’re not going to be especially […]
