A speaker uses a diamond-miner metaphor to argue that most people quit just before breakthrough. He says successful CEOs admit uncertainty, and waiting for confidence before acting is paralysis. Confidence grows through doing.
Have you ever seen that image of a guy who's like mining for a diamond and there's like a thin wall there? The diamonds are right there. I think a lot of people get beat down a few times and it's like, alright, well, I can't do it. You're gonna give up eventually. But the other thing is like people online, they look at people that have achieved things and they have this misconception that that person knew what they were doing, that person had a plan, they executed on it. I don't know what I'm doing, I don't have a plan, therefore I can't get started yet. But the common theme I'm finding from anyone, from people in their early mid-20s that have a certain type of business to CEOs of billion-dollar companies, still like I still don't really know what I'm doing. I still don't know what the right thing is going to be. I have more confidence because I've done things, but I'm curious if you find that amongst your group of coaching students that they don't take action until they feel confident they know exactly what they're doing.
