Quote from James A.Hart on July 16, 2025, 11:03 pmIn digital marketing, it’s easy to fall into the trap of waiting.
Waiting for more data.
Waiting for statistical significance.
Waiting for perfect clarity before making a move.But here’s the truth: more data doesn’t fix indecision. Most of the time, you already have enough information to make a smart choice — you’re just avoiding the risk of being wrong.
The desire to collect more data often hides a deeper problem: fear of taking action. And ironically, the fastest way to get better data is to move forward. Launch the variation. Test the headline. Change the offer. Every decision you make creates new inputs — new feedback to learn from.
Yes, data is essential. But data is only valuable when paired with movement.
Here’s a simple mindset shift:
Use data to guide action — not to avoid it.
Instead of asking, “Do I have enough data to act?”
Ask, “What’s the next best action I can take based on the data I have now?”That’s how good marketers move fast, learn faster, and win more often.
