Double Your Profit Day #21 Stop Overthin...

JOHN WILSON
About this episode

Welcome to Day 21 of the Double Your Profit Series

The go-to series for contractors, home service owners, and small business entrepreneurs.
Today, we’re tackling a silent bottleneck of growth: Over-qualifying what you already know.
The truth is simple: speed wins. Most businesses don’t fail because they made a wrong call — they fail because they got stuck waiting for the perfect call. Analysis paralysis keeps you stuck while competitors take action.

🧠 Why This Matters

If more information was all it took, we’d all be billionaires with six-packs. The problem isn’t knowledge — it’s overthinking.

When you already know the answer is directionally correct, execute. Don’t waste weeks (or months) chasing an exact decimal point.

⚙️ The Big Picture

The soft cost of overanalyzing is time — and time kills momentum. Simplify your KPIs, trust your instincts, and move fast.

Growth isn’t about perfect answers. It’s about consistent, directionally correct decisions made with speed.

🔥 Think of this episode as your playbook for breaking free of analysis paralysis and accelerating execution.
