Intentions Don’t Count

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” – Zig Ziglar

Get off the rocking horse. Step off the treadmill. Stop chasing your tail. It’s time to quit playing patty cake with your own potential.

Too often, you convince yourself that you’re making progress when, in reality, you’re just going through the motions. You mistake movement for momentum, effort for effectiveness. The truth? You have much more to give. But you have to be willing to break free from the routine you've created for yourself—the one that feels productive but isn’t truly pushing you forward.

Actions produce results. Not intentions. Not aspirations. Not feel-good words about what you plan to do someday.

Stop sounding good and start proving you’re exceptional with your execution. Your results—not your dreams, goals, or well-crafted plans—will be the only thing that matters in the end. When the scorecard is written, it won’t be about what you hoped to do; it’ll be about what you actually did.

What have you produced? What have you built? What do you have to show for all your time and effort?

Stop talking and start creating. Get off your ass. Get to work.
