"Work hard in silence. Let success be your noise" - Anonymous

So you've made a decision. Congrats, you're 3% done. Now I'm paraphrasing, but that's an idea from author and entrepreneur Lee Benson. Belief and execution. The duo that will change your life. First, believe. Why? Because nothing happens without belief.

Nothing begins without an understanding and a trust that the future contains something of value. that the seeds of discomfort being planted will bear fruit. We simply don't walk through doors if we don't believe something of value exists on the other side. And then there's execution, the doing. Congrats, you gave yourself permission to begin. That was a big step, right? But now you have to deal with life.

And life, my friends, is no picnic. It's in the doing that success is either obtained or not, that a new reality is birthed or not. In the book, your most important number, Lee Benson has said, so you've made a decision, congrats, your 3% done. Why? Because, well, now comes the implementation, the execution. Now the feet are on the ground and the wheels, the road. and we must transform the thoughts into things.

Thinking can be so much more convenient than doing. Execution is trying things. It's recognizing the attempts that didn't work. It's moving forward only to realize wrong path or wrong approach. Or maybe what's required of you is not yet something you're capable of producing, and so you must evolve. It's seeing setbacks as data point. It's understanding that to not know is okay

because we collect our answers as we go. It's seeing the journey is an experiment, one in which we seek to understand ourselves and the world. There is so much contained in that 97%. It's a write your own ending storybook. An infinite number of paths and outcomes. but ultimately only discoverable by you. And I think that's one of the most beautiful things about life.

And once you give yourself permission to walk a certain path, once you believe in something greater than the world as it currently exists, you become an artist, painting something that was not there before. Using the highs as little benchmarks to remind you why you started, to begin with when your landscape becomes gray. It's using the lows as fuel that turns the ordinary into extraordinary

that slingshots the old you to the new you, adding brightness and vibrance to the overall scene. You're encapsulating all of it as you move through that great unknown, as you push further and further into the abyss. You're playing the role of Maker. Not because you knew how it would all turn out, but because you didn't and still you executed. Recently in an interview, I heard Alex Hermose and now accomplished entrepreneur in his own right talking about some of his failings, consulting gyms in the fitness industry, the moment when things went south.

And he lost it all. Now for a moment, he thought he had. money, assets, and perhaps even the pride, gone. But came to learn that money and those assets, they are lagging indicators, they aren't the value that's obtained. The value is who you become. The value is learning how to be someone who can obtain those things in the first place. It's emerging from the old restriction and limitation, the old narratives,

because that cannot be taken away. When we execute, we're making ourselves something we otherwise could never have become. And so Alex learned that what he lost was insignificant compared to what he gained, and why is this such a common theme? With industry leaders, folks speaking on their accomplishments,

I think the answer is simple, because you don't get there without the doing and the execution and if to execute means to step forward without having all the answers, after all we are only human, life will humble us. Excellence must be a game of trial and error. We can't escape those lost everything stories, because choosing the right path every time, well, that only happens when you choose no path at all.

We have to act, and be okay understanding that action brings with it mistakes and lessons and setbacks. You know, all those little annoying things that become greatness. 97% is left because the path before you is unwalked. But know that it contains everything. Everything you need. So believe it. Decide because nothing starts without that initial 3%.

But nothing changes without the subsequent 97th. That's where we are shaped. And when you come face to face with the inevitable adversity, know that life might take the material gains. It might demand a price you deem to be steep. It might collect as a toll assets you've been accumulating along the way, but it can't take what you know or who you've become. And that is why you execute. To build the world around you, yes, but most important. importantly, to build yourself into someone who can thrive in such an environment.

It's in doing that the man is built. And as was said in Gary Keller's book, the one thing, build the man and the world falls into place.
