Defining the line between "Analysis Paralysis" and "Beginner Edu"

[Chris Kohlmeir]

Hello Everyone,

Bottom line up front:
What advice do you have in regards to determining when you "know enough" to get started?

I like to think that I am a pretty thorough person by nature. I have always been a curious problem solver and tend to apply a methodical, fact-based approach to my endeavors. Based on the MBTI, I am an xNTJ (VERY slightly introvert leaning), if that helps provide context about me for anyone. I am the kind of guy that will read every available review, spec, statistic,  and comparison on anything that I buy or do before prior to execution.

I keep reading and hearing podcasts that advocate avoiding the "analysis paralysis."

I don't know what I don't know until I know it! No different than anyone else. However, being aware of how I operate--especially when finance is involved--I am paranoid that I may go overboard on the education/discovery phase of my journey.

There are a lot of smart people on here who may have been in my shoes at some point in time.

Whatever the feedback, I sincerely appreciate any advice you are willing to provide.

Thanks,

Chris K
