Earlier this week I came across a quote that made me laugh:
An idiot in motion goes further than a genius at rest.
I love this quote. Imperfect action by an average person beats perfect inaction by an exceptional person. Why? Because action produces information. Even if the action is wrong, you’ll learn from it and have a better idea of what you need to do to succeed. No action means no information and no progress.
When you’re doing something that doesn’t have a defined path to success, the only way to uncover the path is to walk into the unknown. Take action.
If you’re interested in hearing more about action producing information, consider listening to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s views on this. You can see the link to that interview in this post.
