Three Stages of Action

1. **93% – Preparing to Shoot** - A person stands at the free-throw line, holding the ball. - Represents the majority: people who *think*, *plan*, or *intend* to act—but never take the shot. 2. **6% – Taking the Shot** - The ball is in mid-air, just released. - Represents the few who *actually try*—they take action, even if they’re unsure of the outcome. 3. **1% – Scoring the Basket** - The ball swishes through the hoop. - Represents the rare few who *follow through*, *persist*, and *succeed*. --- 📌 **Core Message:** Most people stop at the idea stage. Fewer take action. Only a tiny fraction see it through to success. It’s a powerful visual reminder that **execution and persistence** are what separate the dreamers from the achievers.
