Hey, hey. Welcome back. It is Friday. You know what that means. It is time for Friday bullpen Sessions. My name is Andy Neary, and this is episode 50. Yes, the big five zero. Now, I thought about doing an episode this week on how you, one human being, can create 50 pieces of social media content in one week. But I'm going to save that for another week because I want to dive into another topic. The topic this week might be the most important message you need to hear right now to help your career moving forward. It might be the greatest words of wisdom you have ever heard. I know they were the words of wisdom that have impacted my career in the last two years more than anything else. But before we get into this week's episode, I just want to quickly invite you over to my text community. I have a great group of people, great engagement. Every week.

All right, let's dive now into this week's episode.

So again, this week's podcast episode might be the best advice your career is ever going to get. And it boils down to three words. These three words might help you elevate your career to the next level like nothing you have ever, ever heard before. I know they have absolutely impacted my career over the last two years, and I want to share these three words with you in hopes that it can do the same for you. If you find yourself a little paralyzed by indecision, Right now, let's face it, 2020 has been one big effing dumpster fire, right? And our world is surrounded and filled by uncertainty right now. And so it's easy to want to sit back, it's easy to want to just hold tight to your current position to see how things are going to play out. But I want to urge you that you have to keep taking action because the folks that are using this time to take action, to take the right steps, make the right investments to help launch their career to the stratosphere, are going to separate themselves from everybody else who's sitting there doing nothing. And they might separate themselves from for good. There might be no catching up to those folks that are taking the appropriate steps today, that are pivoting, that are adapting. And I want to help you do the same. And I want to do it this week by just sharing three words with you again. These three words have had probably the biggest impact on my career over the last two years. And I want these three words to be the catalyst that helps you finally take the action you need right now to start getting the results you know you deserve. So what are these words? What are these three words that you are sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to hear? Alright, here they are. You ready? Just three words. These three words are going to change your career. These three words have changed my career. You. Here we go. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. Yes, those are the three words. Now you're probably sitting there going like, dude, really? I waited three, four minutes into this podcast to learn that the greatest advice I'm ever going to hear is the three words I don't know. Yeah, here's what I mean by that. Let me go back two years ago when I heard these three words for the first time. Now, I know you have heard these words at some point in your life, whether you were a child, whether you were in school, or now as an adult in your professional career. But let me put some perspective on what I mean by the words. I don't know. I was sitting in a class, I can remember this. I invested in a marketing course that I was going to use to help me start creating better social media content. And I remember it required me to travel California. We were going to do a one day mastermind with two thought leaders in the marketing industry that were going to help us take our social media, our business, our entrepreneurial careers to the next level by being effective on social media, whether it's Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, you name it. And I remember we had started having a discussion about how to create the right kind of social media content. And I quickly noticed that everybody that was at this mastermind, including myself, wanted to know exactly the result we were gonna get. If we posted a certain piece of content this way on Instagram, if we said this thing on a video on Facebook, if we made the right kind of LinkedIn post, what kind of result were we going to get? We want to know exactly what was going to happen if we created content a certain way. And that's when we got the best advice from these two thought leaders that said, you know what you're going to do? Take all this time, this money, to travel out to California to learn from us too. Here's the best piece of advice we've got for you. I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know? If I post something on social media, you don't know what the result I'm gonna get? They said no, I don't know. Test it, try it out. I don't know what result you're gonna get, but by taking action, you're gonna figure out what you need to do to tweak what lessons you're gonna learn from the way you're posting so you can make the right adjustments to eventually post the right kind of content. Always be testing. Maybe I should just use those three words. But the most important lesson they were teaching us is you have to take action. Yes, it's going to be imperfect. Yes, it's going to be messy. But taking action without any certainty of the outcome is the best advice your business career needs right now. So that's why I'm sharing these three words with you. I don't know.

So I am urging you today to just start taking action.

If you invest in yourself, are you going to get the exact outcome that you think you will? I don't know. If you start posting on social media, is it going to bring in more clients? I don't know.

If you have this certain script with your cold calling, is it going to generate X number of new appointments? I don't know. But sitting back and wanting to know exactly what the outcome is going to be before you take action isn't getting you anywhere. In fact, it's causing you to take no action at all. And I hear it all the time from folks who are considering my coaching services. They want to know exactly what they're going to get. Now, I can tell you if that you and I together throughout my coaching program go through steps A, B, C and D, I'm confident you're going to get certain results. But can I guarantee you're going to get the exact result that you want? I don't know. But I can tell you this. If you don't take action, there is one guarantee. You won't get any result at all.

So I wanted to use this week's episode as a call to action to you. Right now. There are far too many of you sitting back in the weeds right now using, quite frankly, very easy excuses not to do anything. I don't have the time. I don't have the money. Listen, if you're not getting the results you want in your business career, this is the time you have to start taking action. This isn't the time to sit back because if you are trying to control the outcome, you want to know exactly what's going to happen. If you go and start posting on social media, you want to know exactly what's going to happen if you use a certain script on a phone call or an email. If you want to know exactly what's going to happen, and if you buy this online course or join this mastermind or hire this coach, you are in trouble because you're not going to take any action.

So please, please, please hear my urgency. Start taking action today. None of us know what the result's going to be.

Look at 2021 more time. There's no certainty about the future. I can't wait. This is a total side note tangent, but I can't wait until I start seeing folks on LinkedIn putting Covid business Expert in their profiles. It's coming because apparently we're gonna have. I know. We're gonna have people in the near future who are gonna be experts in teaching you how to write or create the perfect kind of business during COVID Listen, folks, that's a bunch of horseshit. None of us know what is going to happen. There is so much uncertainty in this world right now. But the only guaranteed known result you have today is the one that happens when you take no action whatsoever. So use these three words I'm sharing with you today. I don't know, as the catalyst to push your butt in the right direction. Start taking action. Take messy, imperfect action and start taking it without knowing what the result is going to be. Because the best part about it is when you start taking action, what happens is the answer. The outcome starts revealing itself. Yes, you might have to adapt, you might have to pivot, tweak and evolve, but just start taking action. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, I don't know what's going to happen next week or next month. But I do know what's going to happen when you start taking action. Little by little, step by step, you're going to start getting closer and closer to the goals, the results and the outcome you want. So this is my advice for you today. What result are you going to get by taking action? I don't know. But just start taking it today because it's the best thing your career, your life needs right now is just to start doing something.

Make more phone calls, hire a coach, join a mastermind. Reach out to people that are uncomfortable, that you have never reached out for, out to before prospects, people that can help you up, level your career. Do it without knowing, out caring, without caring what the results gonna be because none of us know. So just start taking action today because you know what happens when clarity and confidence collide. Action happens. And that's exactly what you need to start doing today. So go make it happen. Take care.
