As you gain more information, you should be allowed to move in a new direction. The hard part isn’t “setting intentions.” The hard part is getting honest about what you actually want… and what you’ve been chasing out of habit, ego, fear, or old versions of yourself.I use a simple mountain-climbing metaphor to break down how people waste years over-preparing, trying to avoid picking the “wrong mountain,” and how iteration beats perfection every time.In this episode, we cover:Why changing your mind is growth (not inconsistency)The difference between “intention” and actual honestyWhy it’s easier to chase goals than to admit what you really wantThe “mountain peak” problem: reaching the top and realizing you picked the wrong thingWhy people don’t start: fear of choosing wrong + perfectionismWhy over-preparing (gear, research, planning) becomes procrastinationThe real power move: iteration and learning by movingKey takeaways:You don’t need certainty — you need a first stepClarity is earned through reps, not thought experimentsPerfectionism always costs more (time, momentum, confidence)The longer you wait to start, the harder starting becomesIf this hit for you, subscribe and share it with someone who’s been stuck in “thinking mode.” And if you’re listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, a quick rating helps this show more than I can explain.
