    Welcome back to the podcast. This will be the shortest one I've ever recorded to date. Today is about taking action, and it does not require a 45-minute dialogue for you to take action, because I'm tired of you guys making excuses. Every single day I have meetings with contractors who are looking to get help in their business and they make an excuse. I need to wait two weeks. I need to talk to this person. I need to wait and see about this. I'm tired of you guys not going 100% in on yourself. Every single client who has ever joined the profit club,100% of them have said, I wish I got coaching sooner. I wish I had done this sooner. Nobody in the history of the earth has said, I'm so glad I waited longer before I took action. Nobody. You don't need to read another book to get the answers. You don't need to analyze a little bit more. You don't need to watch another YouTube video. You don't need to join another Facebook group. You don't need to even listen to this podcast another second. All you need to do is take action and take so much freaking action that you can't lose. You need to take action on yourself. You need to bet the entire farm on yourself and take action. Most of you that I talk to do not believe in yourself. And that is the harsh reality. You simply do not believe you can do it. And so you make the excuses of I got to wait two more weeks. I got to do this. I need to finish this job. I don't have enough time. I don't want to do this. I don't want to take out debt. I don't want to get a loan. I don't want it's just excuses. It's excuses after excuses after excuses. And you're going to end up in the exact same place six months from now than you are today. All you have to do is take action. That's it. You just need to take massive action every single day. You wake up tomorrow and you call 100 realtors. You are guaranteed to talk to at least one person who has a job they need bid right now and you can have a job sold by the end of the week. It's pure numbers. It's pure action. 96% of contractors go out of business in 10 years. 96% of you listening to this are going to be out of business in 10 years. And it happens because of either burnout or bankruptcy. You don't need any more information. You have all of the information available. You need to take action and make mistakes over and over. And every time you make a mistake, you adjust and then learn from it and go on. Action. Massive action is what you need to do. Stop waiting for the perfect word track. Stop waiting for the perfect sales tactic. Stop waiting for the perfect job. Stop waiting for the perfect employee. Start taking action. If you hired 15 people today, probably one of them is going to work out. But no, I want to spend the next three months interviewing and waiting for the perfect person to walk in the door. Because I'm afraid to make a mistake. Guys, start making a crap ton of mistakes and you will start to have success faster in your business. Start taking action every single day. Massive action. You can't lose when you take action. You will lose sitting on the sideline waiting for the perfect environment, the perfect situation, the perfect everything. Insert whatever it is that's holding you back. When you sit there and wait for the perfect situation, nothing's going to happen. It doesn't take six months. It doesn't take two years to make changes in your business. Change can happen in as little as one day, in one week, in one month. I have examples of this even with my own clients. It doesn't take a long period of time to get massive results. It takes massive action to get massive results. So stop listening to this podcast right now and take action. I'm out.
