    Smart people spend an unreasonable amount of time waiting for clarity.

    The thinking goes…

    – More information

    – More planning

    – More confidence

    It makes total sense. I still suffer from that.

    The problem is, some things that matter only become clear once you start moving.

    Here’s how,

    – Go talk to a customer

    – Go test the assumption

    – Go build the rough concept

    – Go take the first small step

    – Go find others

    Then something changes.

    You know more than you did before.

    Clarity often comes from moving, not a prerequisite for it.
