For years i thought preparation was progress.

Going down rabbit holes, researching a new business idea, some SaaS idea, planning out the whole thing. What it would do, how it would work, all of it.

And because i was spending time on it, i thought i was getting somewhere.

Meanwhile, someone i thought was dumber than me would just go ahead and do it. And keep winning. While i was still figuring out the best way to start.

I’ve been thinking about this for a few days now. Maybe i gave too much importance to how much i knew, and too little to how urgently i acted on it.

I still think preparation matters. But i was counting it as progress even when nothing came out of it.
