Most Wrestlers Are Stuck Right Now
Not because they don't have talent. Not because they don't work hard. They're stuck because they can't make a decision. Should I turn heel or stay babyface? Should I stay indie or try to get signed? Should I start a YouTube channel or focus on getting booked? Should I sell merch or build an online community? They sit there thinking about it. Talking about it. Asking 47 people for their opinion. And while they're "figuring it out"... somebody else already made the move and took the spot. That's the difference between wrestlers who win and wrestlers who stay stuck. This is Law #6 from my book The Pro Wrestling Laws of Success: Make Decisions Fast. Here's the truth nobody tells you in wrestling school. Confusion is not a sign that you need more information. Confusion is a sign that you're afraid to commit. You already know the answer. You're just scared to pull the trigger because you don't want to be wrong. But here's what the best wrestlers in this business figured out a long time ago... A wrong decision made fast beats a right decision made never. Think about it. Stone Cold didn't sit around for 6 months wondering if the anti-hero gimmick would work. He committed. The Rock didn't poll his friends about whether he should start cutting funny promos. He decided and went all in. Every successful wrestler you admire made hard choices quickly and then adjusted on the fly. That's the game. So how do you start making decisions faster? Step 1: Get clear on your mission. If you know exactly what you want (Law #1 in the book), decisions get 10x easier. Every choice becomes simple: Does this move me closer to my mission or further away? Yes or no. Done. Step 2: Stop asking everybody. Your buddy in the locker room who's been wrestling 2 years doesn't have the answers. Your cousin on Facebook definitely doesn't. Pick 1 or 2 people you trust who are actually where you want to be. Listen to them. Ignore the rest. Step 3: Give yourself a deadline. If you can't decide in 48 hours, you're overthinking it. Set a timer. When it goes off, pick a direction and go. You can always adjust later. You can't adjust if you never start.
