Founders make hundreds of decisions.
The mistake is assuming they all deserve the same amount of thought.
They don’t.
A hat is easy to change. Try it. Learn. Move on.
A haircut takes longer to recover from, but it’s temporary. Don’t let the possibility of looking foolish stop you from trying something worthwhile.
A tattoo stays with you. Those decisions deserve patience, research, and careful thought.
This changes how you approach entrepreneurship.
Testing a new landing page? Hat.
Trying a new offer for a few months? Haircut.
Taking on a business partner or signing a major long-term commitment? Tattoo.
The goal isn’t to make every decision perfectly.
It’s to spend your decision-making energy in proportion to how difficult the choice is to reverse.
Move quickly on reversible decisions.
Save the overthinking for the ones that leave a mark.
