How To Move Forward (When You Don't Know What You Are Doing) - EP 151

10 Min Listen

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down a critical concept that every entrepreneur needs to understand—finding the balance between hesitation and recklessness. Too many business owners either overthink every decision to the point of paralysis or dive in headfirst without the right knowledge and end up creating a complete disaster. The sweet spot is what the Greeks called the golden mean—staying centered between self-doubt and blind confidence. I’ll explain how this mindset shift can help you navigate business with precision, just like learning to drive for the first time.

Think about it—when you’re behind the wheel for the first time, you don’t slam on the brakes every five seconds, but you also don’t floor it at full speed. You ease into it, gaining confidence and experience as you go. Business works the same way. You need a clear vision of where you’re going, but you also need to break things down into daily critical tasks that move you forward step by step. That’s the secret to avoiding costly mistakes while still making real progress. I’ll share how I’ve applied this approach in my own journey and how you can do the same to keep your business moving forward without crashing.

The key is knowing your ultimate goal but tackling it one day at a time. I got this from my time in the Arte Syndicate—every day, you ask yourself, "What critical tasks do I need to complete today to move one step closer to my vision?" Just like you wouldn’t start building a skyscraper by installing windows before laying the foundation, you can’t rush ahead in business without doing the groundwork. If you focus on executing these daily tasks consistently, you’ll gain the knowledge and experience needed to make smart, confident decisions. So let’s break it all down—how to win each day, gain momentum, and ultimately build something extraordinary.
