Overthinking Is Futile
February 22, 2025
The deal that was supposed to happen? It’s not happening. What to do?
The client is pushing for commitments I can’t meet, and I am unsure how to respond. Am I going to lose the client?
I missed my exit in the market, and now it’s down 20% over six months. How could I have been so careless when the signs were there?
Ruminating has its place. Only If it helps you move forward.
But overthinking, worrying about something negative, or beating yourself up? That’s the biggest waste of energy.
There is only one thing to do.
Trust yourself. Make a decision. Take action. Gain experience. There is nothing more to it. You can’t overthink and worry your way into something positive. You just have to act and accept the consequences, good or bad.
