I Need To Be Nimble. (Today I Learned #107)

Today I Learned I need to be nimble. It’s so obvious now that having an idea and quickly trying it out then quickly adjusting the approach based upon the data received from taking action gives one a competitive advantage. I was literally going door to door in my neighborhood asking for donations for my tuition and I was kind of surprised how easy it was. After the first person said no i got use to the feeling of being rejected😂. A small percentage of people actually gave me money which is still surprising. Another small percentage of people said come back on a specific date and they’d be happy to contribute. Had I stalled I probably would of talked myself out of this idea. I felt significant resistance right before I was getting ready to leave. But the feeling of letting myself sit out a semester based on finances pushed me out there. Being able to see the results as they are and change the methodology of action in a fast fashion has served me well. Having an idea and quickly trying it out has helped me as well hurt me. Every idea that comes to mind shouldn’t be pursued, but a lot of ideas fall in the gray area were ione isn’t exactly sure if it will work or not. With pierced watchful eyes and and the willingness to adjust to change I think I’ll be able to achieve my goals.
