Avoid Paralysis by Analysis

In infantry tactics, they teach you to shoot, then move. Shooting and staying put just guarantees your enemy is going to ruin your day. It’s one thing to think a situation through before the shooting starts, but once the bullets are flying, taking time to do an in-depth analysis of your situation, rather than acting and moving, can be fatal.

Same thing when it comes to surviving tough times. It’s called “paralysis by analysis.” This is when people react to tough times by doing nothing, overthinking situations, and in general watching while their dreams collapse around them, rather than doing something about it. They’ll think, “We can’t be in trouble, the money has to be there. This has to work in our favor.” They analyze and analyze, when what they ought to be doing is working on finding a solution.

One of the greatest competitive advantages I’ve had, since the beginning, is that I don’t get weighed down by analysis. I don’t overanalyze things. “I know what I want to do,” I’ll say. “I don’t know how I’m going to do it. But I’m going to get started.” I move when I can, figuring out how to solve problems as I go. I am not the kind of guy who’s going to get caught short, paralyzed by fear. I may not know how to get from Point A to Point B, but I’m going to get moving and figure it out along the way.
