3 Tips How To Get Uncomfortable
Hey there, action takers!
I see brilliant business owners freeze because they are waiting for certainty. They want to know exactly how the ad campaign will perform or exactly which software is best. Here is the news: You will never know for sure until you do it.
WHY Speed Matters:
Feedback Loops: The faster you act, the faster you get data. You can't steer a parked car.
Momentum: Action breeds confidence. Stagnation breeds doubt.
Competition: While you are analyzing the pros and cons of a new feature for six months, your competitor just launched it, failed, fixed it, and is now selling it.
HOW to Decide Faster:
The 70% Rule: If you have 70% of the information and 70% confidence, pull the trigger. The last 30% takes too long to find and usually doesn't change the outcome.
reversible vs. Irreversible: Jeff Bezos calls these "Type 1" and "Type 2" decisions. If a decision is reversible (Type 2), make it fast. If it’s irreversible (Type 1), take your time. Most decisions are reversible.
Time-Box It: Give yourself a deadline. "I will decide on this vendor by Friday at noon." Force the constraint.“A pivot isn’t an admission of defeat—it is a strategic decision to stay in the game.”
“Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.”
3 Tips Of The Week
How To Get Uncomfortable
Cold Exposure: End your shower with 30 seconds of cold water. It sucks. Do it anyway. It trains your brain to handle shock.
Lift Heavy: Go to the gym and lift something that feels heavy. Remind your body what it’s capable of.
Learn a New Word: Or a phrase in a new language. Keep the neuroplasticity alive.
