Without a high actions-per-minute, your startup goes backwards. Fast.

The danger with having a high APM is that you learn a lot. When you make contact with reality, reality makes contact back.

If you process that mismatch between your pre-conceptions and reality, congrats, you learned. But processing doesn't just happen, and in the meantime the mismatch feels like confusion, stress, crud that's clogging up your nervous system. It drags on your vision, degrades decision-making, takes away your finesse.

High APM with shit vision, decision-making, finesse isn't great either. If you're rational, inevitably you drop APM low enough to hit equilibrium. Increase your ability to process nervous system carnage - to learn - and you get to increase your equilibrium APM.

Moving fast isn't about doing the best Shonen anime impression. It's about running a tight process that turns problems and opportunities into actions into learnings into insights. Quickly and cleanly.
