In this brief motivational monologue, the speaker recounts an early‑morning conversation with an East‑Coast client who was offering excuses for stagnation on their transformation journey. The speaker observes that one can either have excuses or achieve results—never both—explaining that excuses justify staying put while results demonstrate decisive action. He urges listeners to stop defending whatever holds them back, make a clear decision, put in the work, and secure the desired outcome.

Chapters

Just had a great early morning conversation with a client that's out on the East Coast. They kept making excuses for this one thing on the transformation path. So I finally asked if I could make an observation. So with their permission, I told them, you can either have excuses or you can have results, but you don't get both. Excuses explain why you stayed Where you were. Results, they prove that you decide to move. At some point, stop defending what's holding you back. Make the decision, do the work, get the result.
