Do you try to get things done? Or do you just get them done?

Often the word “try” opens the door to an excuse. When I hear that word, I hear that someone is not all in–that they have anticipated the possibility that they will fail. To succeed ultimately, we must be definitive in our words. We must take ownership. We must be complete in our commitment, and our words must reflect that. 

What is your level of commitment? When you make a decision, are you all in? Do those around you see that in your words and actions? 

This week, I challenge you to change your “I’ll try” into “I can” or “I will”. Can this mindset change help you find your winning edge in 2022?

A mentor challenged me one day when I said, “I will try to get that done.'' He told me to sit down and then get up out of the chair. I did what he said. He asked, “Did you try or did you just get up?” I replied, “I just got up.” He told me he didn’t want to hear the word try anymore. He wanted me to just get things done. Needless to say, I never said try again. 

My mentor’s life story includes walking many miles by himself as a young boy to get away from his family to find a better life. He did not try. He just got it done. He was a generational dynasty builder. He went all in on pursuing something bigger than himself and a better life. By being strong, courageous, bold, and confident in what we do, our commitment level to Take Another Step will increase.



Don’t try – Just do! If you decide to challenge yourself this week to change your “I will try” to “I can” or “I will" let me know your results!
