Hello this is Kirby Hasseman with the Monday Minute.
When you are beginning a new project, you need to learn
A lot. There is likely new terminology, procedures, new
relationships, and more. You will also need to plan. What are
the next steps? What might they look like? How many steps
will there be? Are there books I should read or videos I should
watch? It can be overwhelming.
The problem with many projects in life is they get "stuck" in
the learning phase. We don't know what we don't know. As
we learn more about the project we can become paralyzed
with the fear that we don't know enough.
At some point you need to take action.
In my experience, most endeavors don't fail because the
participants don't know enough. They fail because those
involved don't take enough action. Most of your goals will
take more activity than you anticipate...so the sooner you
start the better. The fact is, if you take the wrong action, you
will learn quickly. Then, with that new knowledge, you can
take new action to move the project in the right direction.
That's right. You will actually learn more in many cases by
taking action.
So if you are stuck on a new project because you feel you are
not ready, get over yourself. Don’t worry about planning out every step. Take the next right step. Then navigate the next step from
there.
Thanks so much for watching the Monday Minute!
