Episode: #3605: "Potential" = You Haven't Done Sh*t
Description: I talk about why “you have potential” is actually an empty compliment. When people say that, what they really mean is you haven’t produced real results yet. Potential is just ability with no proof, and it carries no pressure, no consequence, and no outcome. At some point, you have to move from what you could do to what you’ve actually done. The longer people keep calling you “potential,” the longer you’ve been avoiding execution.
Show Notes:
[05:37]#1 Potential is recognition without commitment.
[08:26]#2 Potential excuses non performance while preserving your ego.
[14:20]#3 Results end the conversation.
