The One Mindset Shift That Separates Winners from Losers

Too many people underestimate the power of language — especially the words they speak to themselves. One of the most damaging phrases? "I’ll try." It sounds harmless, even positive. But in reality, it’s a verbal backdoor — a built-in excuse for failure.

In this Ty Session, we’re going to talk about why "I’ll try" is the language of limitation, and how replacing it with clear, committed action transforms everything.

Why "I’ll Try" Doesn’t Work

When you say "I’ll try," what you’re really saying is: "I’m not fully committed." You’re preparing to fail, cushioning the blow of not following through. It may sound safer in the moment, but it’s dangerous to your long-term growth.

As Yoda said:

"Do or do not. There is no try."

Real life agrees. You either do the thing — or you don’t. There is no such thing as trying to build a business, trying to lose weight, or trying to reach a goal. You either make progress or you don’t. And every time you use passive, uncertain language, you weaken your ability to follow through.

The Power of Committed Language

Once you begin saying, "I’m going to," your brain flips into alignment mode. It starts looking for the resources, opportunities, and people to help make that vision real. That’s the Reticular Activating System in action — your internal filter working to confirm what you’ve chosen to focus on.

Saying, "I’m going to do this" forces your behavior to match. You start making moves because you don’t want to lie to yourself. And every small step adds up.

The 4-Step Plan to Success

This mindset shift is embedded in the four steps I teach:

1. Believe that it’s possible for you.

2. Decide what you truly want.

3. Make a plan to achieve it.

4. Take action — and revise if needed, but never quit.

Saying "I’ll try" keeps you from even starting step one. It traps you in the middle ground. And as we know — nothing grows there.

Why Language Shapes Reality

The words you speak become the lens through which you see the world. If you constantly tell yourself that something’s hard, or out of reach, or that you’ll "try" to do it, your brain will go find the evidence to back that up.

But when you shift to empowered language — "I will. I can. I’m doing this." — your habits begin to reflect that, and over time, your entire life changes.

You don’t just change your mindset. You change your results.

Changing the Story You Tell Yourself

Even if things suck right now — maybe your job is draining, your finances are tight, or the people around you don’t believe in your vision — you still control your thoughts, your words, and your reactions.

You can either say, "This is temporary, and I’m building something better," or you can say, "I hate this, and nothing will ever change."

Whichever one you choose — your brain will make it true.

Final Word: Do or Do Not

There’s no such thing as "trying" to reach your goal. You’re either taking steps forward, or you’re not. Incomplete work is incomplete. A 75% finished plan is still unfinished.

So today, I want you to:

• Commit fully.

• Speak with clarity.

• Act in alignment.

Let your words and actions say the same thing. And over time, the world will respond.

No more “I’ll try.”

Just do it.

Let’s go.
