Ch 1 Pt 3 - MillionDollarWeekend by Noah Kagan

 The Magic of NOW, not How

When most people decide they want to start a business, their first intuition is to learn more—read a book, take a course, seek out advice—and then take action after having carefully considered all the facts.

After all, there are a ton of top-rated MBA programs, $10 Udemy courses, free YouTube videos, and entrepreneurship how-to books—so why wouldn’t you learn all you could? 

That’s got to be a whole lot safer, and it probably makes you a lot less likely to fail, right?

WRONG!!!!!!

Super-successful people do the opposite—they take action first, get real feedback, and learn from that, which is a million times more valuable than any book or course. And quicker!

Most people: Overthink first, act later.

But

Every successful entrepreneur: Act first, figure it out later.

Don’t be afraid to act. Be afraid of living a life that seems more like a cv than an adventure.

Challenge - 

Ask one person you respect for a business idea. This is a quick way to get a business idea. You’re going to do it for yourself and realize the power of starting NOW.

Hey [first name], I’m trying to come up with some business ideas right now.

You know me well, so I was wondering what kind of business you think I’d be good at?
