Power of Visualisation

Let's say you have goal in life, but you don't know what steps will be required to get there. The only step you are sure you can accomplish is the very first one. May be that first step involves quitting your job, or moving, or doing something else that is bad to reverse.

Do you take the first step and hope you can figure out the rest later? or do you try to figure out all of the steps , atleast in a general way, before you take the first step?

Every situation is different , so generalizing is risky. I am a big propoent of keeping day job while trying to get something going on side. But when the risk of taking first step is small, I say take it and figure out how to do next step later.

In my experience , you rarely see the second step clearly until you take the first.Taking first step causes knowledge to come to you.

How about you? Do you take first step if you don't know where the second will be?
