Ever found yourself in a research rabbit hole, endlessly consuming information until nothing makes sense and you're stuck in a state of paralysis? We've all been there. It’s a common experience rooted in the fear of failure, the pursuit of perfection, and a false sense of productivity. We talk about this psychological trap, sharing our own struggles and the practical strategies we've implemented to move from over-researching to action.
I shared stories about a failed financial technology company and the realization that too much research kept them from executing on a new venture, a YouTube channel to help other entrepreneurs. The constant tweaking of scripts and the feeling of indecisiveness became a major roadblock. This led to a breakthrough: consistent motion is far more important than perfect execution. We discuss the crucial steps to overcome this, including setting research limits and adopting a minimum viable product (MVP) model. We also talk about how the internet, with its algorithms, makes it so easy to fall into these traps and why we must be in control of what we're looking for, not the other way around.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, this episode is for you. Learn how to get started, trust the process, and leverage feedback to build momentum.
