I’m often asked “Do you plan everything out before you start?” I’ve seen so many students prepare and plan and wait and plan more and second guess every move consumed with self-doubt. They ask, “What if I make a bad decision, what if it doesn’t look good, what if I make a mistake, what if it’s a disaster? ”While I do believe in some degree of planning and preparation, I’m opposed to this analysis paralysis. It stifles your natural creativity. I believe there is a point at which you must rely on faith and self-confidence and just go for it. If you screw up you can fix it or do better the next time.
That’s how you learn.
Just remember, the Universe WANTS you to succeed.
So get going. Don’t over plan and over think. Commit to your idea, even if it’s not fully formed, and jump in. I guarantee your talent will take care of the rest.
