No, it's not "buy bitcoin" although that might be a good idea. I'm afraid for the religious among you it's not "Trust God", although that might be a good idea as well. Nor is it "scarcity sells" although it does.
Nike had to use three words to express this secret so I'll do it it two.
Take action.
Hey BlackTopHat and Layna! How are tow of my favorite people here? (Can't forget Gordon, ALB, Getstuffdone, jeez I know I'm leaving some other really valuable people out but I got you all!)
One of my favorite topics here, glad you brought it up so succinctly! I just wanted to add my two cents, hoping none this falls on deaf ears lol- But some of the best comments I've EVER read come from the great Og Mandino himself in the undisputed classic Greatest Salesman in the World- Ironically I know BTH you basically put all of this into two words, and here I am throwing out a diatribe, but here we go-
The Scroll Marked IX
My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are
impossible.
All are of no value unless they are followed by action.
I will act now.
Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and
scale, which carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Action, alone,
is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my dreams,
my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which
will nourish my success.
I will act now.
My procrastination which has held me back was born of fear and now I
recognize this secret mined from the depths of all courageous hearts. Now I
know that to conquer fear I must always act without hesitation and the
flutters in my heart will vanish.
I will act now.
I will not avoid the tasks of today and charge them to tomorrow for I
know that tomorrow never comes. Let me act now even though my actions
may not bring happiness or success for it is better to act and fail than not to
act and flounder.
I will act now.
I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat
these words again and again and again, each hour, each day, every day, until
the words become as much a habit as my breathing and the actions which
follow become as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these
words I can condition my mind to perform every act necessary for my
success. With these words I can condition my mind to meet every challenge
which the failure avoids.
I will act now.
I will repeat these words again and again and again.
When I awake I will say them and leap from my cot while the failure
sleeps yet another hour.
I will act now.
When I enter the market place I will say them and immediately confront
my first prospect while the failure ponders yet his possibility of rebuff.
I will act now.
When I face a closed door I will say them and knock while the failure
waits outside with fear and trepidation.
I will act now.
When I am tempted to quit and begin again tomorrow I will say them and
immediately act to consummate another sale.
I will act now.
Only action determines my value in the market place and to multiply my
value I will multiply my actions. I will walk where the failure fears to walk.
I will work when the failure seeks rest. I will talk when the failure remains
silent. I will call on ten who can buy my goods while the failure makes
grand plans to call on one. I will say it is done before the failure says it is
too late.
I will act now.
For now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the
lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the evil become good. I am
not evil. Tomorrow is the day when the weak become strong. I am not
weak. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure.
I will act now.
I hunger for success. I thirst for happiness and peace of mind. Lest I act I
will perish in a life of failure, misery, and sleepless nights.
I will act now.
Success will not wait. If I delay she will become betrothed to another and
lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the man.
I will act now.

Finally, I will recommend to everyone on the subject Dan Kennedy's compact little gem, "The Greatest Success Secret"- If that doesn't light a fire under you, NOTHING will!
Have a great day- Miss you guys!
Observe => Take Action => Observe => Adjust => Observe
I tought it was "try again" (even before you tried anything) or "expect errors" (then fix it, if you are a programmer like me)
