There’s an interesting saying, “Give a good idea to a mediocre team, and they’ll find a way to screw it up. Give a mediocre idea to a good team, and they’ll find a way to make it better.” Could you tell me how you do that? There is what I call an unequal equation in delivering results. Hopefully, in business and life, we all want massive results. We want to achieve what we want as far as our dreams and goals. And the only way to get what we would call massive results is to take massive action. There’s no other way. All in, 100%. Not 99.9% commitment. All in. Burn your bridges, burn your boats behind you, whatever it takes. Massive action.
Question: What if you take mediocre action, you’re not all in. You’re just kind of, treading light, going along with, while just doing enough. What type of results are you going to get? Most of you are thinking of mediocre results. No. You will get low results. If you’re treading lightly with your actions and you’re just doing enough, your results are going to be substandard, and you will continue to struggle.
Now, let’s say you’re taking low action, you’re now doing very little. What type of results are you going to get? You’re going to get no results. Not low results. You’re going to get absolutely ZERO results. It’s the unequal equation. The only way to get what you want is you need to take massive, 100%, all-in, burn your ships behind you, action. No other way. Anything less than that, you’re going to struggle. You’re going to be frustrated. And you’re going to wonder why everyone else is achieving greatness and you’re not.
So, remember, you give a good idea to a mediocre team, and they’ll find a way to screw it up. You give a mediocre idea to a good team, and they’ll find a way to make it better. However, always remember, that you’re either all in or you’re not in at all. If you want to achieve greatness, whether it’s in business or life, you have to run a self-analysis and measure yourself to see if you are all in or not. A lot of people think 99.9% is good enough. Well, I can share some statistics on what 99.9% looks like, and they do not reflect successful results. 100%, all in, massive action is the only way.
