Do It Scared: The Power of Sticking with Your Commitments

Do It Scared: The Power of Sticking with Your Commitments

February 13, 20253 min read

There are people less qualified than you, less experienced than you, and with fewer resources than you… doing exactly what you dream of.

Not because they were more prepared. Not because they had all the answers. But because they did it scared.

The truth is, fear never fully goes away. The difference between those who succeed and those who stay stuck? Commitment.

What would happen if you made a promise to yourself—one that you actually kept?

What if, for the next year, you showed up every day, even when you didn’t feel like it?

🔹 How would your health change?
🔹 How would your career change?
🔹 How would your family change?
🔹 How would your bank account change?

The answer is simple: Your life would look completely different.

The challenge? Sticking with it.


Working

Why Most People Never Make It

Success isn’t complicated. It’s not some big secret that only a few know.

It’s doing the small things consistently, long after the excitement fades.

But here’s what happens to most people:
🚫 They get excited. They start strong.
🚫 They hit their first roadblock, and doubt creeps in.
🚫 They tell themselves they’ll “start again Monday.”
🚫 And before they know it, another year has passed with no real progress.

Sound familiar?


The Only Way Forward: Do It Scared

Fear will always be there. You’re never going to feel 100% ready.

👉 The agent who finally picks up the phone and makes calls? Still nervous.
👉 The entrepreneur who launches a business? Still unsure.
👉 The person who steps into the gym for the first time in years? Still scared.

The difference is, they do it anyway.


How to Build an Unstoppable Commitment to Your Goals

1. Set Non-Negotiable Daily Actions

Stop focusing on the big, overwhelming goal. Instead, break it down into daily actions that are non-negotiable.

✔ 10 calls per day, no matter what.
✔ 30 minutes of personal development, every morning.
✔ 1 hour at the gym, even when you don’t feel like it.

The results aren’t in the huge leaps. They’re in the small, consistent efforts compounded over time.


2. Hold Yourself Accountable (Or Find Someone Who Will)

Let’s be real—you can’t rely on motivation.

You need accountability. Someone (or something) to keep you showing up.

👊 Tell a mentor or friend your goal and ask them to check in on you.
👊 Join a coaching program or accountability group.
👊 Track your progress DAILY so you see momentum building.

Accountability is the secret weapon that keeps you from quitting when life gets hard.


3. Make Fear Work for You

Fear isn’t your enemy—it’s a sign you’re growing.

Instead of seeing fear as a stop sign, start seeing it as a green light.

🚦 Scared to make that call? Do it anyway.
🚦 Nervous to go live on social media? Hit record.
🚦 Worried about looking foolish? Who cares? The people who win push through the discomfort.


Your Future Is Being Built Right Now

Imagine this:

What if, for the next 365 days, you simply kept showing up?

No excuses. No quitting. No second-guessing.

🔥 You’d be in the best shape of your life.
🔥 You’d have a real estate business that actually THRIVES.
🔥 Your relationships would be stronger.
🔥 Your bank account would reflect your efforts.

All because you did it scared.
