If you’ve heard the advice, “Ready, Fire, Aim” then it’s time to forget about it because what you need to do is think before you act.
That’s right, although you shouldn’t seek perfection, you do need clarity of vision.
Clarity equals speed. Now, that might sound ironic to you since it can take a lot of time to develop clarity. And honestly, experience is one of the key secrets to having more clarity because when you have experience, you have more information — which leads to better and faster decision making.
But by no means am I saying that you should gain all the experience you'll ever need, and delay until you get everything perfect before you put your stuff out there. I'm just saying that pausing to really think before you act, and getting to a certain level of clarity of vision is a MUST before you launch anything.
Because when you subscribe to the “Ready, Fire, Aim” mentality, you probably will find yourself failing A LOT MORE times than necessary. You’ll probably launch an idea, see how it does, and then be forced to reevaluate and make changes over and over again.
When you have clarity of vision, you can save yourself a lot of trouble and have much less headaches. But again, I’m not talking about chasing perfection. When I say “think before you act”, I simply mean you need to take 15-20 minutes to figure out exactly what you want and how you’re going to get there.
I also share 5 fundamental questions you'll need to ask yourself to gain clarity of vision. It’s the kind of thinking that makes business owners productive.
Instead of acting before you think…think before you act. You’ll be glad you did!
