What does it mean to 'start fast'?

Self-starter means you’re known for being a having initiative and a proactive personality. You don’t wait for detailed plans or permission to pursue your big goals—you act.

Your go-getter attitude means you like to get things done, but you become frustrated when you need to wait on other people. You know that’s time you could be spending taking action, and that stalled progress means your attention and energy wanes.

On a team, you prefer to have the freedom and flexibility to start projects, rather than waiting on a consensus or information from others. You want to make progress now and figure it out as you go along.

How to be a self-starter

1. Start small.

Overhauling your approach to work will feel like too much at first. Instead, take one small step in the right direction.

Maybe that means volunteering for a task you’d normally pass on or starting with a rough outline of a project before you have every last detail sorted out. Even small changes can help you become a self-starter and proactive personality.

2. Get comfortable with uncertainty.

You won’t always have all of the answers before you get started—and that’s okay.

Rather than waiting for every last piece of information you think you might need, identify only the nuts and bolts that you need to understand. Once you have those? That’s your cue to get going.

3. Take on new challenges.

Raise your hand to learn that new piece of software, take on a task that’s outside of your wheelhouse, or strike up a conversation with someone new.

Those are opportunities to step outside of your comfort zone and gain more confidence in your ability to initiate.

4. Focus on the journey.

Oftentimes it’s the fear of failure that can keep you from putting one foot in front of the other. But, great results don’t come from perfect processes—they come from action.

Be willing to fail fast and make some mistakes. You won’t delay your progress, and you’ll learn a lot along the way.
