hard and they haven't checked the compass in months.
The sweet spot is narrower than either extreme. You need enough knowledge to act with direction and enough action to generate the kind of knowledge that reading can't give you. Most people are stuck on one side or the other. All preparation and no risk. Or all motion and no reflection.
Closing the Gap
The fix isn't complicated and that's the frustrating part. The gap closes when you do the thing you've been preparing to do. Not when you feel ready and not when the plan is perfect. Just when you go.
Doing closes the gap. And it closes it faster than any book, course, or strategy session ever will, because doing generates the kind of knowledge that learning can't: the knowledge of what happens when you try.
You already know what to do. You've known for a while. The books confirmed it. Your gut confirmed it before any of that.
The question was never what to do next. The question is what you're protecting by not doing it yet.
Thank you for reading,
Scott
