Achieve success through high-volume execution rather than perfect planning

Entrepreneurs and creators who tend to over-research and under-execute

Ongoing mindset and execution approach

What Success Looks Like

You consistently ship products, content, or initiatives while competitors are still planning. Your volume of attempts leads to breakthrough successes.

Steps to Execute

1

Choose work you genuinely enjoy enough to sustain high volume

2

Start with minimal research - just enough to begin

3

Focus on speed of iteration over quality of each iteration

4

Measure success by iterations completed, not individual outcomes

5

Accept that most attempts will be mediocre

6

Trust that volume creates luck and learning

Checklist

Work selected based on personal interest
Started before feeling ready
Iteration speed prioritized
Volume metrics tracked
Individual failure accepted
Long-term persistence planned

Inputs Needed

  • Clear understanding of personal interests
  • Minimum viable starting point
  • Time allocation for high-volume work

Outputs

  • High quantity of attempts
  • Rapid learning cycles
  • Increased probability of breakthrough success

Example

Instead of spending months researching the perfect blog post, start publishing 3-5 posts per week on topics you find interesting. Most will be average, but the volume creates opportunities for viral content, builds audience, and develops your skills faster than any amount of planning.
