Doer or dreamer? What separates intentions from results?

The world is full of people with ideas. Everyone has a plan, a dream. But how many take the steps necessary to turn those dreams into reality?

If you're reading this, there's a 99.99% chance you're either a current business owner or an aspiring Entrepreneur who wants to:

  1. Create a positive impact
  2. Build a strong legacy
  3. Achieve financial freedom

Each of these goals is commendable, but achieving them requires more than just having a vision; it demands action, dedication, and the willingness to do the hard work that many shy away from.

The Tenach says it best:

"In all toil there is profit,

but mere talk tends only to poverty"

—Proverbs 14:23

Think about it…Have you ever watched ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’? 👇

It's a TV show where Entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of investors, hoping to secure funding. After years of watching, I noticed that there are usually two different types of people who come on the show.

First, it’s the Entrepreneur who walks in with a clear plan. They know their product, their market, and their numbers down to the last decimal.

They are ready to answer tough questions, tackle skepticism, and demonstrate exactly why their business is worth an investment.

These are the ones who often leave WITH a deal, sometimes even getting more than what they asked for because they show potential for growth and profitability.

Then, there are Entrepreneurs who come in the tank with a dream and a whole lot of VISION JUICE…But little to no implementation or results.


They might have a flashy presentation or a catchy idea, but when pressed for details about their business operations, customer acquisition plan, costs, or revenue streams, they falter.

They rely on charm or enthusiasm alone, which rarely convinces seasoned investors to open their wallets. More often than not, they leave WITHOUT a deal.


So…What can we learn from this?

It's not enough to have a dream or a great ideaWe MUST take action.

  • Do you think Russell Brunson made $100M+ with ClickFunnels in less than 5 years by doodling a funnel on the back of a napkin? No.
  • Do you think Dr. Ben Hardy sold thousands of copies of his book ‘10x Is Easier Than 2x’ by just hoping it would catch someone's attention? Definitely not.


This concept doesn't just apply to business but to all aspects of life. For example…How many times have you heard someone say they're going to start going to the gym, and then a year later, they look exactly the same (or worse?) Or someone who continually talks about wanting to learn a new language or skill, but never actually signs up for a class or even downloads an app to get started? It's the same principle—Action is what separates intentions from results.

And that, is the difference between a doer and a dreamer.


At the end of the day, let's remind ourselves: To truly make a difference—(whether it’s in the world, in our businesses, or in our personal lives)—The first step is always action.

So this week, I challenge you to think about a goal you've been wanting to tackle but never got around to doing. Whether that’s:

  • Scaling your business
  • Getting back in shape
  • Learning a new skill


Ask yourself…What's ONE step I can take right now to move it forward? After all, movement creates momentum. Then, once you take the first step, I suggest turning it into a 30-day focused sprint.

Whatever you do, make the shift from talking to doing.

Because remember: In all toil there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.


To your success,

David
