Do it sooner versus later.
If you miss, adjust your aim and shoot again.
Being successful in business has a lot in common with Trapshooting. More often than not you have to be able to react quickly. You can study your scenarios, you can make some educated guesses but to enjoy success you have to act.
I enjoyed trap shooting today for the first time. Realized how much like business it really is. You get up there, You've never done this before and you have to make things happen.
As in business you just have to go for it. When the pigeon flies, you can wait, but as you do, it gets further and further away. And the further away it gets, the more your shot is disbursed or unfocused...
Opportunity is almost always linked to risk. You might miss your target, But that's only one type of risk. But failing to act entirely is also a risk and in many ways its a far greater risk then pulling the trigger too soon and missing. Moving swiftly provides feedback... It allows for learning, adaptation and refinement.
But when you understand the basics, you can take a shot without incurring too much risk. Experiment a little, learn what you can from both the successes and failures. Don't hesitate.
Act to succeed... Pull the trigger.
