Analysis paralysis describes a moment where over-analyzing or over-thinking a situation can cause it to become 'paralyzed', meaning that no action was taken therefore a solution is not reached. A situation may be deemed as too complicated and a decision is never made due to the fear that a potentially larger problem may arise. A person may desire a perfect solution but fear making a decision that could result in error, while on the way to a better solution. (Wikipedia)
Sound familiar? Analysis Paralysis can take you down fast, and the scariest part is, if we don't find a way out of it...it could cost us our dream.
In today's episode, we examine all of this and talk about the cost of it...and most importantly: a way the hell out of it.
The only cure for Analysis Paralysis is action and when we take action there is always a risk that we'll be wrong, but as Seth Godin says: "Being wrong is worse than doing nothing."
We talk about the steps to take action: 1) Your Outcome 2) Your Why 3) Your actions, and we talk about why Your Outcome drives all of it - not the "to do" list.
By far the best book I've ever read on taking action for things like this is: "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. I read it at least twice a year. I highly recommend picking it up if you feel stuck. It's a quick, direct and eazy read!
I hope you learn a ton. Love you guys!
