Did you recognize the slogan right away?

\u201cJust do it<\/strong>\u201d of course, it comes from\u00a0Nike<\/strong>, the global sports brand that inspires people to push their limits. The slogan is\u00a0simple yet brilliant<\/strong>\u00a0at the same time. But do you know\u00a0why<\/strong><\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think is the most important word in that slogan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(insert pause)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re thinking \u201cDo,\u201d<\/strong> right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, then you\u2019re with the majority.

Because imagine if Nike had simply said\u00a0\u201cDo it.\u201d<\/strong>
That sounds\u00a0harsh<\/strong><\/em>, doesn\u2019t it?
As if it\u2019s the easiest thing in the world or worse, like you should\u2019ve already started by now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You probably even hear \u201cDo it!\u201d in your head: louder, more forceful, maybe even a little aggressive.
And that\u2019s perfectly normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why the other camp is right:
\ud83d\udc49\u00a0\u201cJust\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is actually the most important word in that iconic slogan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That tiny word captures the\u00a0moment of hesitation<\/strong><\/em>: that split second before you decide whether to go for it or not. Every athlete, every entrepreneur, every human being knows that moment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a JUST-moment<\/strong> in every decision you make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what Nike<\/strong> is really saying is:
We all feel<\/strong> it. Every single day.
Those are the moments<\/strong> that define<\/strong> your life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you stand on the sidelines?
Do you hesitate, overthink, talk yourself out of it?
Or do you\u00a0feel the fear<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0JUST DO IT<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1\u00a0Let\u2019s break it down: what makes Nike\u2019s message so powerful?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Relatability<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 everyone knows that feeling of hesitation<\/strong> or challenge<\/strong>.
2\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Repetition & consistency<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 staying powerfully visible<\/strong> (The\u00a0Mere Exposure Effect<\/em>, for example, explains this. I talked about it in an interview with\u00a0Bloovi<\/strong>: you can find it [here<\/a>]).
3\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Emotion<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 everyone remembers a moment where they felt that same inner doubt<\/strong>.
4\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Simplicity<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 short, clear, powerful. Everyone understands it and\u00a0feels<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0it as motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

So if you\u2019re creating content or trying to deliver a message, keep these four things in mind.
Play with them. See what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I promise you: it\u2019ll bring you something.
Maybe not what you expect, but definitely something meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\u2026 are you\u00a0just<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0gonna do it, my friend? \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
