I'm sure everyone has seen the common piece of business advice "Just take action!"
I think this a good piece of advice because many people don't, event after they've been exposed to something they think can lead them to their goals.
However, I also think that reading and analyzing things is a valuable thing to do, but this is often considered "action faking"
I follow a system of learning that I created, it is very in depth, and it allows me to really learn things on a deep level. But lately I don't know whether I should just quit all the reading and research and go all in on building a business??
On one hand, I value research as a way to gain a personal competitive advantage because most people dislike reading books, and don't have a real system for learning things. I've learned a lot from books and blogs.
But on the other hand, I still don't have a business to operate, and I'm starting to think it might be a better use of my time to just start something, experiment, and iterate. I don't have a ton of ideas to choose from, but I do have a couple that I think may work.
What do you guys think? How can I incorporate reading and taking action, without handicapping myself so to speak?
