#1 mistake I see entrepreneurs make (and the simple fix that changes everything)
Most business owners are stuck in one of two traps:
Trap 1: The Overthinkers They analyze, strategize, and "research" their way into paralysis. They think they can solve problems from their desk without ever testing reality.
Trap 2: The Random Actors They jump from tactic to tactic, hoping something sticks. No strategy, just excitement and hustle until the next shiny object appears.
Here's what actually works: Strategic doing.
Think → Do → Get feedback → Adjust → Repeat
If you're under $20K/month, your problem is almost always volume. You need more doing, less thinking.
But once you hit consistent revenue? That's when you need dedicated thinking time to solve the RIGHT problems.
My go-to resource: "The Road Less Stupid" by Keith Cunningham. I've read it 20+ times because the concepts are that valuable.
The process is simple:
- Block 3 hours per week for strategic thinking
- Focus on ONE specific issue per session
- Ask: "What's really causing this problem?" (not just what you're observing)
- Validate your assumptions before building solutions
Most entrepreneurs build elaborate machines to solve the wrong problems.
Don't be one of them.
