So like most I have all these "ideas" that are just waiting to be exploited. You know how it goes, if I do so and so I would be so rich, or if I sell this or that I could corner the market and on and on.
Ill be the first to admit that I sometimes suffer from analysis/paralysis. Its in my nature to be skeptical and question everything in sight. I am slowly but surely changing that. Whether I believe something is too good to be true or not should be an indicator of how impressive someone's success is versus the alternative/negative thought patterns commonly associated with someone else's success.
So after going through this phase in the cycle many times in my life, Ive decided it is time to cut the bullshit and do something for once. It SUCKS being on the outside and looking in and seeing others' success even if I am truly happy for them (which I am). How does one combat this mindset? Join them on the inside. It all starts with a change in thought pattern/attitude and moving on from the stage of creating/planning into execution mode.
I am not chasing overnight success here but instead feel that to jumpstart my journey to success, I need to do something, anything other than come up with more ideas without executing them. So after some deliberation the past week I have found an idea that Im gonna EXECUTE for the first time. Ideas are a dime a dozen. I have notebooks full of them, but never forced myself to move on from the "idea" stage. That changes today. Right here, right now is the catalyst for a new me. I am gonna see this idea all the way through whether it be a monumental success or a colossal failure is of no worry to me because Im finally taking action which is at least half the battle for me.
I feel that this idea will teach me skills necessary to parlay other ideas into the market as well. I expect to improve on my web skills, sales skills, learn new processes, re-evaluate how I spend and manage my time better among other things.
This thread will serve as my progress bar to financial/fastlane freedom and I can't wait make it happen!
