Clarity Isn’t a Feeling. It’s a Discipline.
You’re waiting for clarity to arrive like inspiration in the shower. It won’t. While you’re refreshing slides and tweaking language, hoping something will finally “click,” your competitors are doing the unglamorous work you’re avoiding: defining constraints, exposing contradictions, naming essence. They’re not more talented. They’re more disciplined. The gap between murky thinking and precise communication isn’t creative. It’s mechanical. And most founders never learn the difference.
