This is a short transcript excerpt from Jacqueline Elliott's December 19, 2023 YouTube video “I’m Trying” Never Freaking Works 🙄. The speaker criticizes the mindset of seeking quick wins and argues that visible success comes from long, often unseen periods of disciplined work and self-recreation. The core message: stop "trying" as an excuse and adopt consistent daily commitments (e.g., getting up for the gym) — repeated effort and accountability, not half-hearted attempts, produce results.

Years and years in the making to go and develop us so that when you see this build that you see, oh, in three years they got to this, that bullshit. It was not three years. It was us developing ourselves in the dark for that long. And you guys are looking for fast wins. You're looking for fast when how can get my my business to do this when you can't even make the commitment to freaking get up in the morning and go to the gym. And you keep breaking that commitment over and over and over and over and over. Trying doesn't work. It's time we stop trying and just start doing some shit.
