He shares his experience of starting out as an investor, feeling a lot of resistance when it came to taking action and making offers on deals. He realized that fear of the unknown and the risk involved were holding him back. To overcome this, he developed a risk tolerance test consisting of one question that provided clarity and helped him move forward. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing uncertainty and confusion and responding with either a firm "no" or diving deeper to gain a better understanding. He cautions against doing nothing and highlights the potential negative consequences of avoiding decision-making.
