Some people need to have the answer before they can start something new. The only problem with that is that by the time they get a perfect answer the need for that answer has passed. Things can move so quickly that time becomes a luxury we can't afford.
What can you do to get going without having the answer?
I use the concept of useful ideas to take my first steps on learning something new. Instead looking for answers which requires me to ask the correct questions, I look for useful ideas that move me towards my objective. For example, as I am new to blogging, I looked for ideas that I could tie into my current knowledge. After reading a number of blogs I came across the idea that blogging was having a conversation.

This idea allows me ask myself simple questions such as who do I want to talk to, about what, when, where and how. This allows me to start learning the skill of blogging by doing it without spending a lot of time seeking a perfect solution.
So stop looking for perfect answers and get on with what you need to learn.

Good luck on your blog!
Hi Peter,
I'm new to blogging too. I noticed that you started about a week before I did and that you also spoke about perspective. Interesting. I'm glad I found you and I'm glad you're blogging. It will be interesting for me to have a parallel journey to follow.

Your article is great! And I agree with you a 100%, it is almost impossible to have the perfect answer. We just have to decide what we think is best and stick with it. Then live with the consequences.
