Each week, Grogan publishes a video blog for his followers to learn and live by.

This week, Grogan talks about the quote, "You can't plow the field by simply turning it over in your mind."

"In order to make a change, you've actually got to get out there and do it," said Grogan. "You've got to do more than just think about it, you've got to be able to take action on those thoughts in order to move forward."
