Avoid Being Your Own Bottleneck

I’ve always been a fan of James Clear’s 3-2-1 Thursday newsletter — short, sharp, and consistently thought-provoking. One recent quote hit home:

“Intelligence isn’t just about what you know. It is also the ability to avoid being your own bottleneck.

• If you lack the skills, be willing to look foolish while you learn them.

• If you lack the connections, be courageous enough to reach out and build them.

• If you feel uncertain, be bold enough to figure it out along the way.

Many people have the ability, but they talk themselves out of trying.”

In any business, especially one driven by relationships and momentum, this is a reminder that overthinking can be the biggest drag on progress.

Start before you’re ready. Learn in motion. Build while moving forward.
