Move in Silence

Don't let talking become a substitute for doing.

Research shows that you're better off keeping your goals to yourself (or a couple close friends) if you actually want to accomplish them.

If you share before finishing them, your brain is tricked into getting the psychological satisfaction of hitting the goal without having accomplished it.

During a startup event I went to early on in my journey, one of the founder panelists was asked to give his advice for new founders. He said, "stop attending events like this." He explained that it took him years of working, head down, before his startup became a success.

I've been extremely selective about which events I attend ever since.
