🤔 Underthinking

Only one player scored more than 50 goals this season in the National Hockey League.

Why is that significant? Because scoring 50 goals in a season is rare. It’s a mark of greatness - one that few players in history ever achieve.

Growing up, one of my favorite players skated for my favorite team: the New York Islanders. In high school, my ears were glued to the radio and my eyes locked on the screen anytime the Islanders played. That team won four straight Stanley Cups … but that’s not why I watched.

I watched because of Mike Bossy.

He wasn’t the biggest. He wasn’t the fastest. And he wasn’t even drafted until the 15th pick -- long after others who never made a name for themselves.

But Mike Bossy had one superpower that separated him from everyone else:

He didn’t overthink.

He had quick feet, quick hands, but most importantly, quick decisions.

When the puck landed near the goalmouth, he didn’t pause to scan the ice. He didn’t analyze the score, or time, or pressure. He didn’t second-guess.

He shot.

Sometimes he missed. A lot of times, in fact. But that didn’t matter.

Because Bossy’s goal was simple: get the puck on net. And over time, more and more of those shots went in.

He scored over 50 goals in nine straight seasons - something no player had ever done before, and no one has done since.

All because he kept shooting.

So, let me ask you:

What are you overthinking?

What idea, project, strategy or dream are you holding onto because you're waiting for perfect conditions?

Entrepreneurs who succeed do one thing better than most: They move fast. They fail fast. They adjust fast. And they don’t wait for permission.

So today, take your shot. Write that book. Send that email. Publish that post. Change that price. Quit that task. Join that group. Try that idea.

You might miss. You might fail. But you just might score.
