Thinking before action or action before thinking?

Now when I look back...I have realized that too much thinking only paralyzes you. As long as you act success comes your way. Any inputs?

    Maybe we have to think first before we act but then there are situations that requires us to act before we think but most probably, we have to think before we act in order to avoid regrets.

    If you are not making any money, act before think.

    If you are making decent money, start think before act

    A little of both! Some thinking with some action. Throw something together, get it online and then play with it and tweak it.

    The main thing is to get it online. Get something done. Get it out there, no matter how crappy you think it might be! If you don't at least do that you'll always be a newbie.

    And you can easily 'think' your way out of it. So stop thinking so much and start doing something! Tell yourself, "This is what I'm going to do today."

    and don't pay attention to anything else until you've done that.

    If I'm in the bush and run across a rattlesnake or cougar, I sure hope to hell I can act without having to stop to think about it.

    Now business....that's another situation totally.

    Sal, if you run across a mountain lion, I have a feeling the only acting you'll be able to do is play the role of dinner!

    It'll know about you long before you know about it.

      Why do you think I have a dog for a best friend? Met kitties before but never surprised. My pal always knew they were around. Not all that hard to deal with them as long as you know they are around....but you aren't going to have time to think about what to do at that point either.
