When you ask yourself how to do something you've never done, self-doubt takes over and you hesitate. Peak performers skip the roadmap and move forward with certainty instead. Certainty doesn't guarantee success, but it raises the odds.

The problem with asking, "How do I do it?" is if you've never done it before, most people then go into what I call the tyranny of how. The tyranny of how is like, have you ever done this? Set a goal, maybe when you're really young. I'm gonna do this. Maybe you've told people you're gonna do this, and this voice in your head goes, "Who are you kidding?" Right? Because what happens is you start to doubt because you have no reference base, you have no experience. And so when you're uncertain, you don't follow through. And you look at a peak performer, what makes them a peak performer? If you watch them going down that court in the NBA or NFL or whatever sport it may be, you feel this relentless energy. There's not an ounce of hesitancy. There's absolute certainty. That doesn't guarantee success, but it increases the probability through the roof.
