Why Action Beats Analysis Paralysis in Business | Stop Doing Your Best - Do What’s Required.

Most people say they want success. Very few are willing to do what success actually requires. In this video, I break down the raw truth about business success, entrepreneurship, and discipline — the part nobody wants to talk about.

Success doesn’t come from motivation. It comes from action.

✔ Making 200 cold calls a day
✔ Producing content even when you don’t feel like it
✔ Building websites, ads, funnels, and systems
✔ Getting uncomfortable — every single day
✔ Working solo when needed, but collaborating to scale faster

This is a real conversation about what it takes to win in business, especially in digital marketing, online entrepreneurship, and personal branding.

If you’re serious about:
- Building a real business
- Landing high-value clients
- Escaping comfort and mediocrity
- Scaling faster with systems and people
…this video is for you.

📌 The uncomfortable work is the shortcut.

If you really want to succeed, then you'll make it happen. You'll take action like Gracie behind me, who wanted to be in this video. At the end of the day, success does not come to those who want it the easy way, who want to just take the easy path. At the end of the day, you gotta work, you gotta grind, you gotta sacrifice, you gotta be willing to do shit you don't want to do. At the end of the day, when it comes to business success, you need to be introspective. You need to be willing to make 200 calls a day. Are you making 200 calls a day? That's what I do. And honestly, a lot of the time it works, a lot of the time it doesn't. But almost every time I do, it works. I get a client, and then that one client can pay me for months. Think about that. With digital marketing or anything like this today, then you really just need to go after it. You need to take action, you need to do the things you don't want to do. You can't do as best as you can. You can't do the best you can. You have to do what is required. If you truly want to succeed, you need to be able to be introspective, you need to be able to be industrious, you need to be fast, you need to be quick-willed. You gotta be willing to take 200 cold calls a day. You gotta be willing to make them, you gotta be willing to hop on podcasts with people, you gotta be willing to produce the content, you gotta go on YouTube and actually schedule out the content, which is what I help doing, by the way. You gotta be willing to build the website, you gotta be willing to create the advertisements, to go out, meet people, do whatever you gotta do. One thing you can't do is be an isolate, an isolationist. And when I say that, I say that in a sense that you can't be all on your own. I don't mean that you can't be a solopreneur. I like being a solopreneur. That's what I think success in business is all about. Being a solopreneur. But if you truly want to succeed in business, you need to work with other people. If you want to get there faster, then work by yourself. If you want to get further, then work with the team. In business, I've learned that the more uncomfortable things you're willing to do, the more you're willing to be comfortable being uncomfortable, then you can actually do anything you want. You can make anything happen in the world. But you gotta be willing to go through the trials, the tribulations. Can you handle it? Are you gonna do the research? Are you gonna learn what you need to learn in order to succeed? That's the question. Most people aren't. Most people are not going to, again, the hardest part, doing the work. Follow-ups, contacting your best clients, contacting the people who you think can actually allow you to succeed in business. You gotta get out there. You gotta do the work. And I speak for myself because I'm also somebody who believes in building businesses, but I also believe in doing it in a way that is independent, in a way that allows me to be completely free with my life, to do whatever I want. So, what are you gonna do? What are you doing to change your life? Are you sticking to your 2026 goals? The most important thing is one to have goals, but to have a plan on how to achieve your goals. Do you have the plan? Do you have everything coordinated? President Trump, look, he's got everything coordinated. Whether you think so or not, like Israel, if you think Israel owns Trump, then guess what? They do also have everything coordinated. Okay, all of our greatest adversaries, enemies, whether you're into geopolitics today, whether you're into business entrepreneurship, it doesn't matter. One thing is true. We are all trying to escape the matrix. We're all trying to give financial freedom. What are you gonna do to do it? Be sure to like, share, comment, and subscribe. I want to help grow this channel for entrepreneurs like yourself, like me. And at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. It's all about making something of yourself. It's all about doing something that's hard. It's all about making challenges and making things happen. Like Tom Brady said, are you gonna make it happen? Go and make it happen.
