Starting Experimenting that is superpower.
It seemed downright unfair for the longest time. But as I got older and started to experience some success, all sorts of people began seeking out for advice on this thing I did which never occurred to me as being a thing at all.
Of course they did not come to me to ask about starting or at least not knowingly. The people who came always talked about their drams of running a business about hating their job or wanting freedom or feeling trapped. The problem in nearly every instance was the same they had not started.
I understand what a problem that is and how life changing it can be to get someone to fully embrace what I call the now, not how habit.
When most people decide they want to start a business, their first intuition so to learn more, read a book, take a course, seek out advice and then take action after having carefully considered all the facts.
After all, there are a ton of top rated MBA programs, Udemy courses, free YouTube videos and entrepreneurship. So why would not you learn all you could?
Overthinking seems like the smart way to launch but it is far less effective. Super successful people do the opposite, they take action first, get real feedback and learn from that which is a million times more valuable than any book or course.
Most people, overthink first, act later. Every successful entrepreneur act first and figure it out later.
Any analysis ahead of action is purely speculation. You really do not understand something until you have done it. Rather than trying to plan your way into the confidence to act, just start acting. Use the motto now.
But my idea needs more time. Power comes when you automatically implement now, not how in everything you do. So no more negotiation with yourself. You are just a doer. Say it to yourself, now.
Do not be afraid to act. Be afraid of living a life that seems more like a resume than an adventure.
Staring new things and following your fear makes life seem magical. You thought this was just about building a big beautiful business. Sure, it is about that too but it is also about using entrepreneurship as a way to renew and reinvest your life.
