Today, we're diving into the concept of Minimum Viable Information (MVI). This idea, from Corey Wilks Psy.D., is a game-changer for anyone who tends to overanalyze and over-research before taking action.

- Learn what minimum viable information is and how it can help you get started on your projects quickly.
- Discover the importance of taking action and learning through doing, rather than just gathering more information.
- Practical examples on how to apply this concept in various fields: starting a YouTube channel, becoming a musician, getting into fitness, and more.
- Inspirational insights on overcoming fear, uncertainty, and the plethora of options that might be holding you back.

💪 Don't let fear or overthinking paralyze you! Ask yourself what the minimum information you need is, and then just start. You'll learn so much more by actually doing the thing.

5 Key Lessons:

1. Start Small: Identify the minimum amount of information needed to get started on a project and take that first step.

2. Focus on Value: Prioritize creating valuable content over having the perfect setup.

3. Embrace Mistakes: Learn from doing and making mistakes rather than over-researching.

4. Vision Beyond Barriers: Envision your ideal scenario if common barriers like time, money, and fear were not an issue.

5. Consistent Effort: Approach your goals like a mountain hike – the effort and persistence make the success more rewarding.
