Someday Is A Dangerous Word
Hey there!
Today marks one month of writing these daily emails, and I’ve come to actually look forward to it. Every morning, I sit down with my coffee, share what’s been going on, and pass along little bits of advice that have helped me. Which brings me to today’s topic: the dreaded word “Someday.”
I used to say it all the time. Someday I’ll quit the factory. Someday I’ll start my own business. Someday I’ll take that trip. The word felt safe, almost like a promise to myself. But here is the truth: someday is just another way of saying never.
Back when I was clocking into twelve hour shifts, “someday” was what got me through the day. I convinced myself that I had time, that the right moment would come, that the stars would line up. They never did. What finally changed things was picking a date and backing it with a decision. My wife told me I needed to quit, and together we circled the day on the calendar. That is when someday turned into today.
Entrepreneurs and realtors fall into this trap all the time. “Someday I’ll start posting on social. Someday I’ll build that system. Someday I’ll go all in.” The danger is that while you wait for someday, someone else is taking action today. And in business, today always wins.
If there is something you keep saying you will do “someday,” write it down. Then give it a real date. Break it into steps. Make one small move this week that proves you mean it.
Life does not hand out extra time. The only day you actually have is today.
Have an amazing weekend,
Ryan
