Nick Perry argues that asking for step-by-step instructions before trying anything signals a lack of self-reliance. Real learning comes from attempting first, whether closing a sales deal or experimenting with AI tools. Figuring things out through direct experience makes you healthier, more capable, and financially better off.
You can always tell who was never told to figure it out. It's those people who ask questions before they even try, who panic the moment something doesn't go right, and who need a step-by-step process for even the simplest things. Look, I'm not saying don't ask questions or for help. I'm saying you need to actually try first. Try closing deals, try using AI, try learning from YouTube. You need to try because figuring it the fuck out is how you learn every skill that makes you a better, healthier, and richer human.
