"Here’s the thing no one tells you early enough...the decision you make isn’t nearly as important as what you do with it once you’ve made it. You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a direction and the willingness to keep going even if you’re not quite sure you’re going in the right direction. In fact, it’s especially important when you’re unsure.

Entrepreneurship, like life, isn’t linear. You’ll change your mind. You’ll pivot. You’ll build things that don’t work. You’ll get it “wrong” more than you get it right. But none of that means you’ve failed. It just means you’re in motion. And motion beats perfection every time."
