I heard a story the other day that can completely stop your productive procrastination. Two men decide to learn to fish. The first man says, “Time to fish! But first, I need the perfect custom rod, a top-tier fishing coach, and at least six months of preparation before I even touch the lake.” The second man? He just grabs a stick, ties a rope to it, puts a hot dog as bait, and heads to the lake. Day 1: He catches nothing. But he iterates. "Maybe this is the wrong spot," he thinks, so he moves to a better one. Day 2: "Hot dog isn’t working," so he switches bait. Day 3: His stick breaks? No problem, he upgrades to a sturdier rod. Every single day, he’s failing, learning, and improving. Fast forward six months, and he’s turned his hustle into a full-on business: A fishing school where he teaches others. A restaurant where he serves fresh catches. Meanwhile, the first guy? He’s still “preparing.” Still waiting for the perfect moment to start. The difference? The second man understood that progress is born from action, not perfection. This is true for fishing, business, or any goal. Start with what you have. Start scrappy, but Start now. 👉 If you want more stories and insights on startups, business, and growth, hit the link in the comments to subscribe to my newsletter.
