All those years of studying in schools, trying to be a good student, and working in companies trying to be a good employee have reinforced a mindset in me:

I need to aim very clearly, considering many scenarios, making sure the direction, timing, and conditions are right before taking a shot.

However, my entrepreneurial journey has forced me to flip that mindset.

It has taught me, often in a very uncomfortable way, that I need to take the shot first and then aim. Two reasons:

1. There is never a time when I feel fully ready. And by the time I finally feel ready, I already miss the opportunity or the timing.

2. No matter how much I plan or research, everything is still version 0 until someone actually pays for it. Only then does it begin to evolve into v1, v2, and beyond.
