Relentless IQ → #40 [2026] →Do It & Find Out
Relentless IQ is your weekly dose of mental + physical performance.
Insight
You are capable of more than you think.
But you will not discover it by waiting, wondering, or trying to feel more confident.
You have to take on challenges and find out what you're capable of.
Most people think:
Confidence → Action
I'll do it when I'm ready.
I'll do it when I feel more confident.
But I think we have the order backward:
Action → Confidence → Greater Capability
You don't become confident and then do hard things.
You do hard things, and the experience builds confidence.
Not sure if you can run a marathon?
Have the courage to sign up for one.
Then figure it out.
Start the training plan. Show up and do the work. Focus on the next step when it gets hard. Keep moving. Get to the starting line. Run the race.
And somewhere along the way, you start collecting proof that you're capable of more than you thought.
But none of that happens until you take action.
That's the idea I call the Do It & Find Out Framework:
1. CHOOSE A CHALLENGE.
Intentionally step toward something that challenges you. You can't think your way into knowing what you're capable of.
2. USE THE CONFIDENCE FLIP.
Act before confidence arrives. Take action first, then confidence follow.
3. JUST KEEP MOVING.
Focus on the next step through doubt, discomfort, and uncertainty.
4. FIND OUT.
Let the experience reveal and build your capability.
You don't need to know how it's going to go.
You don't need to know if you're capable yet.
That's the point.
Stop wondering. Take on the challenge.
DO IT & FIND OUT.
Question
What could you find out about yourself if you stopped wondering and took action?
