We live in a total blackout. We have so many possibilities we get lost in them.

Imagine you want to start a new hobby. Person A already does it, and he does it in a way. Person B also does it, but he does it in a totally different way.

When too many options are presented to you, we tend to feel less intense about them.

What is the solution? Create a unique way you’re going to follow. Then calibrate.

Imagine it like this. You want to start a company.

Some people start companies with 200 employees and take personal care of many tasks.

Some people start companies with 4 employess and outsource most tasks.

There is an infinite spectrum of possibilities halfway. So you get lost in it and just think “Bah, people do it so many ways either way works”.

False assumption. You need to filter out the best way, regardless of what others are doing.

To do so, just have a unique opinion when deciding: I’ll create my company with 4 employees.

Then, if it’s too little, increase it.

If it’s too much, decrease it.

Take the first step, then calibrate. It doesn’t matter if it’s a good or bad step, it only matters that you take a step.

Because in life there are many times in life where we don’t know what to do.

You’re buying your first home. You’re choosing your first job.

And then we see so many people doing it in different ways. So we guess anything works.

Remember this, just because there are many ways, it doesn’t mean they’re right. You still need to filter out the best way.

Don’t take anything for granted. Have certainty in something.

If you’re taking a bad step but you have certainty behind it, you’ll realize what you’re doing wrong and can work it out immediately.

If you’re not taking either a bad or good step, you never know what works.

So take a first step towards something. Good or bad. Doesn’t matter.

You can always improve. But you can only improve if you have already started.
