In partnership with
What’s up, my Greats!
Let me hit you with something most people don’t want to hear:
Knowing the words isn’t the same as doing the work.
You can talk success.
You can quote Scripture.
You can say all the right things.
And still miss it.
Jesus said something that should make every driven person pause:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom… but only the one who does the will of my Father.”
Translation for real life?
Talk doesn’t open doors. Obedience does. Action does.
Information Without Execution Is Useless
We live in an age of podcasts, books, courses, and content overload. Everybody’s learning. Everybody’s consuming. Everybody’s “inspired.”
But very few people are actually doing.
You can know the strategy and still not build the business.
You can know the truth and still not live it.
You can listen to all the motivation in the world and stay stuck.
Why? Because knowledge without action is just noise.
God Isn’t Impressed by Performance
Jesus goes even harder. He talks about people who did big things, impressive things, spiritual things—and still missed the mark.
Why? Because they were focused on appearance instead of alignment.
This hits close to home for entrepreneurs.
You can build a brand and still be hollow.
You can chase success and still be out of order.
You can win publicly and lose privately.
God isn’t looking for hype. He’s looking for obedience.
Foundation Matters More Than Momentum
Jesus closes this section with a story entrepreneurs need to hear:
Two people build houses.
Same storm. Same rain. Same wind.
One house stands.
One collapses.
The difference?
“Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Same effort. Same energy. Different foundation.
You don’t lose when storms come—you lose when your foundation is weak.
Storms Reveal What Success Is Built On
Here’s the truth nobody advertises: storms are coming.
Economic shifts. Business challenges. Personal pressure. Criticism. Fatigue. Doubt.
When those hit, your real foundation shows up.
If your success is built on discipline, integrity, faith, and obedience—you stand.
If it’s built on image, shortcuts, and talk—you crumble.
Here’s the Question That Matters
Not “Do you believe?”
Not “Do you know?”
Not “Do you talk about it?”
Are you doing the work?
Are you living what you say you believe?
Are your habits aligned with your goals?
Are you building something that can survive pressure?
Because almost doesn’t count.
Talk doesn’t count.
Intentions don’t count.
Action counts.
So don’t just admire truth.
Apply it.
Build on it.
Live it.
That’s how you enter the next level.
Now go make it happen!

A Final Note
FROM MANNY D.
“Information won’t save you. Inspiration won’t carry you. Only execution counts. Build habits that hold up under pressure. Align your actions with what you say you believe. When storms hit, foundations matter. Make sure what you’re building can stand when everything else shakes.”
Until next time,
