We’re All Guilty Of This
The Amplified Impact Podcast
October 14th, 2023
I’ve found that the key to success lies in execution, not just in planning.
It was so easy for me to get trapped in overthinking, trying to perfect every detail before taking action. But here’s the truth: inspiration is perishable. The longer you wait, the more likely you are to fail.
Successful people have a bias towards action. They understand that a bad plan can be made to work with enough energy and execution. It’s about the determination and gusto we bring towards our goals.
So, here’s your challenge: What’s the one step you can take right now to build immediate momentum? Whether it’s hitting the gym, making that important call, or launching that new project.
Stop thinking, start doing.

Anthony Vicino:
Hey guys.
Anthony Vicino:
I love, love, love that you’re listening to the podcast. I truly hope it’s bringing you just a ton of value. But if you ever wanted to check out the video version of these podcasts, then you should head over to YouTube. You know, they’re gonna have more effects, more visual stuff like that and that can help the message sometimes just hit.

Anthony Vicino:

Anthony Vicino:
It’s completely free.
Anthony Vicino:
Go over to YouTube, search for Anthony Vasino, it’ll pop up. And if that’s not what you’re into, then cool. Just enjoy the show and let’s get to it.
Anthony Vicino:
Yo, what is up all you beautiful people? I’ve been thinking the last couple of weeks about a very simple phrase, very simple concept that’s been cycling through my brain. It’s been cropping up again and again during my journaling sessions, during my meditation sessions, and I want to share it with you. It’s nothing super world shattering or anything like that, but it is something that is helpful to be reminded of consistently. It is this we are all guilty of overthinking at one point or another, but almost none of us are guilty.
Anthony Vicino:
Of having over executed.
Anthony Vicino:
The thing I think about here is that it is very easy to get into these cycles of thought of just thinking over and over and over about an idea, perseverating on it, trying to plan it to perfection before taking action. And I think when I look at the people who are most successful in life and in business, they have this bias towards action from the moment they have the idea to the moment they’re taking action on it. That period of time is very short because they understand this fundamental concept of the universe is that inspiration is perishable. And the longer you wait, the more time that you let elapse between the moment you have the idea and the moment you start taking meaningful action in pursuit of that idea, the more likely you are to fail, more likely you are to just peter out, to lose the momentum and just not even pursue the thing. And in the end of the day, it is surprising to me how often the thing that really dictates whether we’re.
Anthony Vicino:
Going to be successful in executing a.
Anthony Vicino:
Plan is not actually the quality of the plan, it’s just a matter. It’s about the quality of our execution, about our determination, about the energy in.
Anthony Vicino:
Which we input into the system and.
Anthony Vicino:
How much gusto we go towards the goal with. I think with enough energy, with enough execution, a bad plan can be made to work. And I find a lot of solace in that. And I think about this a lot when I have big projects or things that I’m trying to plan or think through is like, you know what? I tell myself all the time, you’re going to be better off just getting this plan good enough, close enough, getting the milestones delineated. So you have an idea of where you’re trying to get to and then just start going. Don’t try to get too granular, don’t get too specific. Don’t get into the weeds about how all the different pieces are going to work or how this is all going to come together. Because the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray.
Anthony Vicino:
Or as Eisenhower says, or no, Mike Tyson said this, everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the face. So it doesn’t even matter how much perfection you think you have in your plan the moment you get out there in the real world. And it’s no longer just theory now it’s a matter of application, practical application. You’re going to find so many holes in your plan that you just could not have foreseen from where you were starting at that static position at the beginning, trying to plan it all out. And so you’re going to learn by doing so much more. The amount of information you’re going to bring in is so much more than you could possibly accumulate just on your own thinking about the thing. And so if you find yourself perseverating or getting into this cycle of overthinking, just remind yourself. Almost nobody has over executed on anything ever.
Anthony Vicino:
And I don’t even think it’s possible to over execute honestly, because if you are over executing, it kind of means that you’re not actually executing. You’ve gone astray. You’ve done too much. But proper execution, it’s everything. And I like to say that a million dollar idea is worthless, worthless without a million dollar execution. Because execution saves the day. It’s what moves everything forward. And so whatever it is that you want to do in your life this last quarter of 2023, I want you to think about what is that big Harry Audacious goal that you set for yourself at the beginning of the year that you’re working towards, but that still feels so far off.
Anthony Vicino:
Just ask yourself, instead of trying to plan out how you’re going to get there, just ask yourself right now, what is the one step that you could take as soon as you’re done listening to this podcast that you could use to build immediate momentum, that you could start taking action? Not planning, but acting on that thing. Maybe your goal was to lose 15 pounds. And maybe the thing that you do right after this is you get up and you go for a run, you get to the weight room, whatever. Maybe your goal was, I want to make a million dollars in personal income this year. Well, as soon as we get off this call, you need to look and say, what’s my money making activity? What am I going to do to bring money in the door right now? Is that cold calling a customer? Is that getting back to a vendor? What is it that you need to do right now? Launching a new landing page or sending out 100 DMs? What is the thing right now? The action that you could take that’s going to move you forward? Do that. Focus on executing, I think, as we go into Q Four, the last quarter of 2023. This is your last chance to hit those goals for the year. Stop thinking, start doing good luck, god speed, and I’ll catch you guys back around here.
Anthony Vicino:
But until then, I hope you’re maximizing your return on life, my friends. Stay hyper focused, guys. Hey, real quick, guys.
Anthony Vicino:
