Results Start With This Hard Truth

We all want results.
More success. Better health. Stronger relationships. More money in the bank.

But here’s the hard truth that most people don’t want to face:
If you’re not fully committed to the work required, then you’re not truly committed to the result.

That’s not judgment—it’s just reality.

The Illusion of Commitment
It’s easy to say we want something.

But real outcomes—the ones that truly matter—don’t come from wanting.

They come from working.

From showing up.

From doing what’s required over and over, long after the excitement fades.

If you’re not willing to commit to the process—aka the grind, the discomfort, the repetition, the stretch—it might be time to stop lying to yourself about the goal and move on.

Results don’t happen without commitment.

One doesn’t exist without the other.

This Truth Shows Up Everywhere
Let me give you a few real-life examples from my own journey.

Physical Health

There’ve been seasons where I said I wanted to improve physically.

But if I’m being honest, I wasn’t willing to show up at the level the goal required. And that’s okay.

It was just a signal to shift my focus—toward a goal I was actually ready to commit to.

Business
I’ve failed in business more times than I care to admit.

Not because I lacked skill or opportunity—but because I didn’t honor the full commitment required.

I took shortcuts. I dabbled. I told myself I was “in,” but my actions said otherwise.

Marriage
There have been times where we were stagnant, or even on the brink of throwing in the towel.

But we made a decision. We wanted more—and more importantly—we created more by committing to show up for each other and doing the work.

My wife and I just returned from a trip to Jamaica.

Yes—we have five kids.

Yes—we run multiple businesses.

But we do what’s required.

We don’t make excuses—we find ways to create what we want.

And what we want from our marriage is quality time to travel, reconnect, and continue growing together.

Today, our marriage is at an all-time high because we are honoring the commitments we have made to one another.

So Where Are You Right Now?
If you’re feeling frustrated or stuck—whether it’s in your health, your finances, or your relationships—pause and ask yourself this:

Have I truly committed to the work required to create the result I say I want?

If the answer is yes—then go. All in.

Burn the boats. Give it everything you’ve got.

But if the answer is no?

Then it’s time to get honest, stop wasting time, and redirect your energy into something you can go all-in on for the long game.

Because that’s where the real results are waiting.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Stay committed. Stay real. Build something that lasts.
