When I get overwhelmed by having a lot of things to do, or a monumental task in front of me, I shut down. For me to make progress, I have to break it up into small manageable pieces that aren't scary.

Also, a lot of the time the task only seems monumental because I haven't defined exactly what the task is. The mystery and fear of the unknown make it seem worse than it actually is. Once I say "OK, what is the exact thing I need to do with this." I usually feel a lot better and take action.

Another thing that I have learned is that I need to get some 'small' wins under my belt before I try to get a home run. I was listening to @snowbank s Forever Jobless podcast, and they were talking about this in the last few days. They mentioned that sometimes Home Runs are as easy to hit as Singles, but most people are scared to try and swing for a home run. For me, I realize this, and in my brain I feel like I am capable of swinging for a home run; but in reality, trying something that big with no real 'wins' under my belt would intimidate me and ultimately cause me to fail.

Right now, I am working on a business where there is PROVEN demand. This gives me one less thing to worry about, because I know people are doing business in this area all the time. I don't have any doubts at all whether anyone will want what I am offering. Now all I have to focus on is how to make my offer stand above the rest. This has been really helpful for me.

I also COMMITTED to my idea for an entire year. 12 solid months. I have mentally braced myself to stick with this idea, even if I lose money on advertising every single month. Why? Because I need the disciple of not getting distracted by side ideas. When it gets tough, and it will, I need to have committed myself to sticking with this idea, and seeing it through. I will learn WAY more by 'failing' every month and losing ad spend on a bad campaign than I would chasing three different random ideas in the span of a year. This will make me get better at actually executing and not action faking.

Hope this helps you some!
