What if the key to success is just showing up?

Two entrepreneurs argue that showing up consistently beats having a perfect plan. Speaker A spends two hours daily at a coffee shop working without a clear product yet. Speaker B points to dropshipping as a cheap experiment you can launch in a day and fail repeatedly without losing much.
That's really cool. When I first started as an entrepreneur, I would just make it a point, no matter what I was doing, I would go to the coffee shop every day for at least 2 hours and I would do something. Even if I didn't know what to do, if I didn't know what product I was gonna sell, if I didn't know how I was gonna run ads before I had a store built, I would just go do something for 2 hours. Yeah. And it would lead to a discovery that would lead me to the next step and to the next step. I think a lot of people out there are waiting until they have this perfect idea and this perfect plan to get started. You can just play around every day until you figure something out.
It's like, just take a step. Well, the other is you can fail so fast and not lose too much. Right. So again, I go back to dropshipping. It's like what you could spin up a store in a day. It costs you however much to get everything set up. Try it. Okay, it fails. Do it again. Yeah, to me it's the same. Now you build something very simple, you try it, it fails. I can't lose that much. You try again. You could literally fail 10 times in a row and you still didn't waste that much time or that much money.
Yeah. And in failing and in trying things, you're going to learn something like the only way to kind of get started when you don't know exactly what you want to do. I mean, even when you do know exactly what you want to do, it ends up being different than what you expect anyway. It's like you might as well play around on this stuff and learn, especially if you're young, especially if you have aspirations to be an entrepreneur. You don't have much to lose. It could be fun in the process. Yeah.
