Yes, showing up and doing the work is the hard part. Talk is cheap lol.
I would say: Don't tell people your plans and don't talk about what you are going to do in the future. Nobody cares about what you think you might do. Talking about it without doing it just makes you look unreliable. It doesn't make you a better person for wanting to do something. You have to do the work. Do it, and then talk about what you have done! That makes you a much more interesting and real person that people want to work with and listen to.
