They Took Action
Tweet · Mar 31, 2026
Weekly, and most cases daily, I have the opportunity to talk with amazingly successful entrepreneurs.
One of the most common variables to the success stories I hear is this:
They didn’t feel 100% confident, but they took action anyway.
putting a landing page up
posting to social media and sharing what they’re doing (this is a common one for success actually)
calling potential customers (I just talked to a guy on track to make $7M ARR and it started with a $15k client he landed from a call
putting their service on FB marketplace
… the list goes on.
But the theme remains- they took action in the face of uncertainty.
You don’t know unless you try. And by definition, trying requires you to take action.
For some reason there’s a barrier in our minds that wants to prevent us from failure, so we don’t try.
Just know that the “failure” you fear is the admission for success.
At least that’s what I’ve been seeing regularly.
