I used to tell myself, “I didn’t get results.” That was my excuse. The truth? That was never true.
What I really meant was: “I didn’t get the results I wanted.” Big difference.
Every action you take; every single one produces a result. Even sitting on the couch produces a result. Maybe it’s not the one you had in mind, but it’s still a result. And that realization changes everything.
Reframing “Failure” as Feedback
Here’s the real power: when you stop saying “I didn’t get results” and start asking “What did I learn from the results I got?”, you shift from frustration to progress.
That shift makes it easier to move forward. Every outcome becomes information. Every experience becomes feedback. And feedback is gold.
The Fear That Holds Us Back
Most of us aren’t afraid of taking action. We’re afraid of something else — admitting that we don’t know how to do something.
Hidden inside “I don’t know” is the seed of your success.
Because “I don’t know” is not the same as “I can’t learn.”
That’s the gift. If the only thing between you and the results you want is learning something new, then you have the power to close that gap.
Learning Unlocks Results
Not enough leads? Time to learn more about marketing, or find someone who can do it better.
Sales not where you want them? Learn and implement a proper sales process.
Team not performing? Learn leadership, communication, or systems.
Every challenge is pointing you toward what you need to learn next.
Responsibility Never Leaves You
At the end of the day, you’re responsible for your results, all of them. If you choose to see every outcome as a result (not just success or failure), then you take control.
You can design your own learning plan, close your knowledge gaps, and move deliberately toward the results you actually want.
Remember this: you’re always getting results. The only question is — what will you learn from them?
