So the very last day that you can join is October 8th. So today is your wake-up call. Today I'm going to be talking about taking action. I was driving in my car today and I was listening to nothing. It was just silence. And I thought to myself, you know, I have so many podcast episodes I put up. I put up over 600, you know, approaching 700, I think podcast episodes. There's so many episodes for someone to listen to. And I get emails. And the reason I was thinking about this, cause I get emails from people saying, Hey Rob, I'm starting back at day one at, at episode emails. And the reason why I was thinking about this, because I get emails from people saying, hey, Rob, I'm starting back at day one, at episode one.

Starting point is 00:02:46 And number one, I'm like, holy crap. Episode one was crap compared to these ones. Like I was still trying to figure out who I was and I was trying to figure out how to get better and all of those things. And I thought to myself, hold on. I'm flattered. First off, that someone would want to listen to all of my episodes. But number two, it comes to a point where I'm being honest with you. You need to turn

Starting point is 00:03:06 me off. You need to stop listening to me. You need to stop reading books. You need to stop going to all of the events. And as much as I say that you should read personal growth, that you should read books, that you should find mentors, you should do all these things. Sometimes people, what they do, and this might be you, what you do is you start listening so much that you don't take action. And you trick yourself into thinking that you're getting a lot done because you're listening to the podcast, because you're listening to other people's podcasts, because you're reading the books, because you're going to the seminars, because you're hiring the mentors, because you're doing this and because you're doing that, because you're doing this and because you're doing that. But actually what you're

Starting point is 00:03:50 really doing is you're afraid to take action. Let me say that again. You're afraid to take action. So you're trying to act like you're taking action by doing all of these other things and trying to distract yourself and say, no, no, no, I'm growing, I'm growing, I'm growing, I'm growing, but you're actually not taking action. There's a point in time where you need to stop learning and you need to just take action. I remember I got to this point in my life a few years ago where I realized that I was reading so much. I had read over, I think like 50 books that year and I was reading a ton and I was going to all of the conferences and I was going to all of the conferences and I was going to all these things and I was spending more time growing, which is a good thing. I'm not saying don't grow. Of course I'm saying grow, but I was spending more time growing and

Starting point is 00:04:35 almost no time taking action. And so I want you to know that you know what you need to do. You don't necessarily always have to learn. I'm not saying never listen to my podcast again. But what I am saying is there's a time when instead of listening to 15 of my podcast episodes in a day, cut it down a little bit and then go and actually get crap done. Like do something. Do something that's going to change your life. Do something that's going to change somebody else's life around you. Do something that's going to make you money. Do something that's going to change your life. Do something that's going to change somebody else's life around you. Do something that's going to make you money. Do something that's going to change your children's life. Stop listening.

Starting point is 00:05:10 Stop growing sometimes and start taking action. You know what you need to do to be successful. But the secret is that you have to actually do something. Knowledge means nothing. Action means everything. Because if you don't apply your knowledge, it's pointless. It's just sitting up there. You have to look down at your feet. You have to lift up one foot and you have to put it down. And you have to look at the next foot. You have to lift it up. You have to put it down. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Take the fricking steps. Don't read about the steps. Don't read about the thousand

Starting point is 00:05:51 miles. Don't read about the destination. Don't read about the journey. Lift your fricking foot up and move it. That's what you have to do. You have to take action. Success is not hard. It's really not. I've studied a lot of successful people. I've gotten what most people would call success or this level of success that continues to grow. It's not that hard. It's just little teeny tiny boring things, consistent action, boring action taken every single day. Success is not some big sexy thing that you do or some one big thing that you do each day. It's little teeny tiny, boring, monotonous, consistent action every single day. It's taken one foot, putting it in front of the other, taking the other foot, putting in front of the other, taking the other foot, putting in front of the other,

Starting point is 00:06:43 just do something. Anything that's going to get you closer to your destination, your goal, whatever it is that you have to do. And what I want you to ask yourself next time when you're like, ah, do I need to do something? Am I kind of just sitting around? Am I, am I acting like I'm, like I'm moving forward, but really what I'm doing is I'm just being afraid and I'm masking that action. I'm masking the fear with reading. Am I masking the fear with listening to another episode of a podcast? Am I masking this fear by, you know, going onto YouTube and watching somebody give a motivational talk and not taking action? Because here's the game. You can't succeed unless you take action. So there needs to become a point in your life where you go, you know what?

Starting point is 00:07:32 I got to turn this off. And listen, you won't break my heart just as long as you come back to me, right? You could turn me off at some point. Just don't forget about me. Don't forget about me, baby. Just come back to me at some point. You'll be good. We'll all be good. But you have to do something with your life. Because if I teach this and you don't do something with it, it's pointless, right? So take action. Look down at your foot. One foot in front of the other.

Starting point is 00:07:57 One foot in front of the other. You know what you need to do. Get a pen and paper. Write down what it is that you need to do. Get your freaking butt off of that seat and go take action. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You can't envision the journey. You can't envision the step.

Starting point is 00:08:18 You got to actually take the step. So turn me off right now. Don't listen to me anymore for the rest of the day. Make sure you turn me on tomorrow. Don't forget tomorrow's episode, but turn me off for the rest of the day. I'm okay with it. You won't break my heart. Just make sure you come back to me tomorrow and go do something. Take the stuff that you've learned from me. Take the stuff you've learned from other people and do something, anything towards your goal. You don't need to crank out all 650 something episodes of mine, 660, whatever it is, just do something. That's it. So that's what I got for you for today's episode. If you love this
