Why smart people overthink themselves into mediocrity

🔥

Intelligence is supposed to be an advantage.

But for most high-performers, it's the thing keeping them stuck.

Here's why:

Smart people can see all the ways something could go wrong. They can map every possible outcome. They can anticipate every objection, every risk, every potential failure.

So they wait.

They plan.

They prepare.

They "get ready to get ready."

Meanwhile, someone half as smart takes imperfect action and laps them.

Because momentum doesn't care about your IQ. It cares about your willingness to be wrong, to look messy, to start before you're ready.

The smartest thing you can do?

Stop outsmarting yourself.
