Startups are momentum plays and require putting blinders on for a period of time. This means focusing on the chosen idea and committing to it without questioning or considering other options. By putting blinders on, founders can dig into the problem space and work on the actual solution instead of constantly analyzing and paralyzing themselves with too many choices. Setting clear dates and dividing time for worry and execution can help maintain momentum and prevent excessive analysis. The smallest action, such as getting a sale within 24 hours, can boost energy and motivation. It's important to focus on step A and how to get to B without worrying about the rest of the alphabet. Avoiding parallel entrepreneurship and instead dedicating to one idea at a time allows for focused pursuit and avoids distractions.
