Action --> Action --> Action --> Reflection --> Action

Take massive action first.

Reflect on the feedback.

Course correct.

Take massive action again.

Rinse and repeat until you hit your target.

I'm writing this for those, who like me in the past, feel like they NEED to know everything before taking action.

Learning comes from reflecting on the feedback you get from taking action.

Not the other way round.

If you reflect before taking action, you're living in a fantasy.

Totally agree with this @James D

One small little thing I did recently was ban myself from reading any GC articles (or posting anything on the forum) until I'd done 20 approaches in a week.

I just felt I was getting in that cycle of trying to absorb everything, read lots of content, without putting anything into practice.

So i went out and did ~5 approaches a day for a week, and wrote down each evening how each one went, what I noticed etc.

Only after I'd completed the 20 approaches, and got some raw data on my approach success, did I start properly evaluating and absorbing more information.
