Struggling With "Analysis Paralysis"?

It's a common trap for entrepreneurs.

We over-analyse because we are trying to create the perfect plan.

We try to create the perfect plan because we are afraid of what might happen if we take action and things go wrong. We worry about what might happen if we ‘fail’.

So, we try to analyse every possible scenario and mitigate against every possible risk.

But there are so many variables that we get bogged down - and end up doing nothing. "Perfection is the enemy of progress", as the saying goes.

It's natural to worry about what might go wrong, and a bit of proactive risk management is healthy.

But it's important to put things into context. Ask yourself, "If this goes wrong, what actually happens?"

It probably wouldn't be the end of the world (or even your business)!

It's also important to be balanced. So, be fair and also ask yourself, "What happens if this goes *right*?”

Entrepreneurship is all about seeing opportunities and taking risks - and most of the time, we don't have much of a plan at all...

Reed Hastings (co-founder and former CEO of Netflix) brilliantly compares starting a company to jumping off a cliff and assembling a plane on the way down!

Start getting comfortable with taking action - despite the risks.
