Hey guys, I have a problem that needs to be addressed now. I noticed this trend in me. For the past 2 years ive been a web developer, it all started when I came up with my crazy website ideas and started building them myself. At first my ideas sucked, then I did some research such as comparing the top websites to see what they have in common and so forth(I'm an extremely proficient researcher). Then I read MJ's book (About 2-3 months ago) and realized I was playing idea roulette. Not focusing on a need but just putting two things together to make something work because I thought it was "cool".

Granted, some of my ideas are great, even to this day looking back it's a "If i would of stuck with that it would/could of taken off by now". Fact is I think all my ideas are pretty damn good in their own way and with the correct marketing would "take off" to some degree to make income online.

Thats my problem, TOO MANY ideas...I even go as far as building it, but then there is something I can't build functionality wise then I give up and go to the next "big thing" and I lose motivation. I also suffer from the fear of success, knowing I CAN become a Millionaire quicker then most but I fear getting there. My reason living with my father and his money chasing jealous ways and not knowing the outcome of what people would think if all of a sudden "Hey Chris is rich and I busted my a$$ working a labor intensive job for years" - Given, I am probably thinking a bit out of reality here but it's there to some degree, I feel atleast). Anyway...

I'm sure there are people here are understand I mean. How did you guys push as this, any mental tricks to tips you can give me?

Thanks
