ACTION & EXPERIENCE BRINGS CLARITY





Clarity comes through action and experience. Thus, you should focus on getting
started and taking action more than you focus on the perfect end result.
Optimize for the starting line instead of the finish line.





Instead of committing to a giant, year-long undertaking. Commit to something
small and simple so you can get started and get some experience. Then, when you
have more clarity about what you are doing and working on, you can continue to
mature and build upon that idea, or you can pivot. — shawn blanc
