Potential is worthless without proof
Nobody cares what you could do. Show what you’ve done.

You’re not being judged on potential.
You’re being judged on output.
What have you built?
What have you shipped?
What have you finished?
Everyone has potential.
But most people stay stuck in the fantasy of what they could do - if things were perfect.
That version of you?
Doesn’t exist.
And it never will…
Until you trade "potential energy" for results.
The Lie of “Untapped Potential”
People love to say:
“I’m capable of more.”
“I’m just waiting for the right time.”
“I know I could blow up if I really focused.”
Cool. But:
Nobody pays for ideas.
They pay for execution.
Potential sounds noble.
But most of the time, it’s just ego wrapped in excuses.
You’ll never be taken seriously if you’re still talking about what you could do, while avoiding the hard part: proving it.
