More time or more information?

Date

The other day, Luis wrote to me in response to the post “If you don’t start, you don’t fail”.

"Thanks for this blog Vlad. I would like to know your opinion because I am putting my heart into getting a project off the ground but I feel I need more time. Don't you think that starting unprepared is another way to fail?"

 

I identified with your message because I too have often felt that I wasn’t ready to start. 

 

In my role at younity, I lead a structure of over 300 people, and if there is one valuable thing I have learned from this experience, it is that having more time or waiting for the “right time” rarely translates into better results.

 

Ironically, the opposite is often true: the longer you wait to decide or do something, the worse the outcome is usually.

 

I asked Luis a question that might help you too: “Instead of more time, isn’t it more information or knowledge that you really need?

 

Having more information, knowledge or experience will obviously have a positive impact on getting started. But more time without new information or knowledge only generates anxiety.

👇 Reminder of the day 👇

  • If you don't feel ready to start, identify the information or knowledge you need and go for it.

 

If you wait for the moment when you feel ready to start, or when you know everything you need to know, you will never get started, there will always be something that makes you procrastinate.

 

How about you aim to start when you have the basic/necessary knowledge and learn the rest as you go along? 

 

Accept that you will never know everything you need to know, and that you will learn many things as you go along.

 

That’s a good way to stop procrastinating.
