Art Williams succeeded by ignoring doubters and doing the work instead of overthinking. Smart people often fail in business because they analyze endlessly and hunt for shortcuts. Stop planning and start acting.
If you want to become somebody, do it. If you want to go in business for yourself, do it. They just intimidated me. And I said, Arch, you can't ever be that good. Why don't you just throw in the towel and go on back and coach football for a living? I think it's almost impossible for a smart person to win in business in America today because I find smart people spend their whole lifetime figuring things out. They always trying to figure out an easier way and a quicker way. And another thing I found out about smart people is they just don't get around to doing nothing. They see somebody like Art Williams, everybody said, well, he can't do it. Hey, somebody like that can't do it. But he does it.
