Doing better Quote by Scott Abel
““Can we talk real for a minute then? Do you "really" think that your problem is that you just need to gather more information and data before you start to "do" better with your commitment to yourself? Or isn't the real truth more like -> you are already educated with enough information - beyond your level of behavioral obedience to what you already know! You don't need to "know more" to get going- you simply need to buckle down and get real about "doing better" with what you already know.””

We often overthink gathering data instead of acting on what we already know; action requires commitment, not more knowledge.
In simple terms: Act on what you know, don’t wait for more.
