Action Produces Information: How Conviction Is Built in the Unknown
“Action produces information. The more you do, the more you learn, and you create opportunities for yourself.” What if conviction doesn’t come before the leap? What if the leap is what creates the conviction? Fahim Ferdous started coding at 9 years old when people around him told him it was too advanced. He kept going. Years later, when he and his co-founders were building AdQuick, the “no’s” kept coming. Venture Capitalists said no. Customers said no. He even talked himself out of starting the company. But instead of treating rejection as proof that he was wrong, Fahim learned to see it as part of the process that built conviction. In this episode of the Earning Conviction Series, Fahim and Glenn Llopis explore: Why rejection can become fuel How hiding behind what you’re good at can stop your growth Why following your instincts doesn’t mean ignoring feedback How action creates information and new possibilities Why the things you “play around with” can become something much bigger How staying in motion helps you discover what’s next Why innovators have to help make the world ready for what they see And maybe the biggest lesson: You don't need to know exactly where you're going before you start moving. Keep moving. Keep learning. Keep building. A little bit every day. Because conviction isn't always found in certainty. Sometimes it's earned in the unknown. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video Content: 0:00 Intro 04:25 The First "No" 05:36 When Loneliness Becomes Fuel 09:22 The "No" That Almost Won 12:26 Hiding Behind What You're Good At 19:22 Rejection Builds Conviction 26:20 Your Hobby Could Become Your Next Chapter 28:59 Action Produces Information 32:24 Keep Pushing The World Forward Listen now and discover what it means to earn conviction Full episode available on Youtube ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #PersonalizationOutbreak #EarningConviction #FahimFerdous #GlennLlopis #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Conviction #Reinvention #PersonalGrowth ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOIN THE MOVEMENT: GLLG Company Website: https://www.glennllopis.com/ Age Of Personalization Website: https://ageofpersonalization.com/ Contact Us: https://www.glennllopis.com/contact-us/ Email Us: sandy@glennllopisgroup.com FOLLOW GLENN LLOPIS: LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3tnBmP9 Instagram: https://bit.ly/3fcziRV Facebook: https://bit.ly/33sCg1K Twitter: https://bit.ly/3HVT14B
