Success isn’t earned in clarity. It’s earned in commitment.
Waiting to "figure it out" is the fastest way to stay lost.

Waiting to "figure it out" is the fastest way to stay lost.
Here’s a brutal truth:
Clarity follows commitment, not the other way around.
You think you need a perfect map before you start. But that’s a lie your brain tells you to stay safe.
You don’t find your path by researching. You find it by walking.
And every step—even the wrong ones—brings clarity.
Why You’re Paralyzed by Options
You’ve got 47 articles saved. You’ve downloaded 12 apps. You’ve subscribed to 8 different newsletters.
Yet you haven’t launched a thing.
Because clarity is overrated.
Decision fatigue creeps in when you compare choice A vs. B vs. C.
So you wait.
Meanwhile, time slips through your fingers.
The only way out? Cut the options.
The Commitment Mindset
Commitment is a reductionist filter. It forces you to say yes or no, right now.
When you commit:
You drop distractions
You simplify your focus
You unlock momentum
Commitment is the acid test of your priorities. If you won’t commit to something small, you won’t commit to something big.
Step 1: Make a Public Pledge
Spoiler: Accountability works.
Tell someone, even just one person, exactly what you’re doing and when you’ll do it.
Why this helps:
The stakes feel real
You’ll think twice before flaking
You get early feedback
Example: “I’m going live on X at 10 AM Tuesday to pitch my first offer.”
Put it in writing. Do it publicly.
