Overthinking is the silent killer of self-employment dreams. Lawyers are trained to analyse, predict, and prepare for every possible scenario, but when applied to starting your own practice, this mindset creates paralysis. Chapter 4 explains why trying to plan your way to certainty only delays results and drains momentum.Instead, progress comes from movement. This chapter shows how taking even small, imperfect steps creates clarity, builds confidence, and reveals opportunities you cannot see while stuck in planning mode. The truth is that no amount of preparation will eliminate risk, but action will give you feedback that preparation never can.For any lawyer considering self-employment, the lesson here is simple but powerful: stop waiting until you feel ready.
Overthinking kills action, and action is the only path that leads to clarity and growth.
