Episode Summary: The Hidden Cost of Doubt & Inaction with Aaron Hendon
- Doubt is part of the game
- It is a mistake to pretend you are going to lose doubt
- Doubt and fear are cousins
- Courage and confidence are related in the same way
- Without fear there is no context for courage
- Doubt is a flag for a need to generate courage
- We all default to doubt
- Doubt is natural
- Every leader deals with doubt (constantly)
- The hidden costs of doubt are the opportunity costs
- Missed opportunities
- What is missing in the world- what art could have existed
- It is easy to measure the negative consequences of action. It is much harder to calculate the cost of inaction, or missed opportunity
- The question isn’t “is it the right time” but rather, “is it the right time for ME”
- How do you know when you have the right opportunity?
- Don’t get hung up on if “this” is the right thing.
- The asking of the question, not the finding of the answer is what is important
- Don’t be attached to the “right” answer- there is no right answer, just AN answer
- When you determine the right answer for you- then you have opportunity to throw yourself into it- be fully committed.
- Do not entertain your doubt
- Play full out in whatever you are doing
- Football analogy-
- When the play is called, and the ball snapped you have to adapt and adjust
- An opportunity to Beastmode
- Pivot, cut, go through obstacles
- The lie behind knowledge is power
- Knowledge isn’t enough
- Action is power
- Acting produces results
- People become knowledge junkies to avoid action
- Waiting for results v taking action
- Success is a drip campaign
- There is no overnight success
- Find podcasts that push you to action
- Think almost always requires a dialogue
- Thinking is talking to ourselves
- Thinking has intentionality behind it
