Brian Duncanson watched people freeze because the goal was too big.

Start a business.

Change careers.

Run for office.

The size of the thing paralyzes them.

His answer?

Break the goal into checkpoints.

Solve the first one.

Then the next.

A hundred-mile race is not a hundred-mile problem.

It is a five-mile problem repeated.

And once you have a date, a time, and a specific commitment on the calendar, the mind locks in.

The same way you studied for a test or finished a paper.

Deadlines force output.

Action is the antidote to overthinking.
