I'm stuck / Paralysis of Analysis / Information Overload

[Carny]

I don't know where to begin, or where to end for that matter, to keep this thread from being so long no one will read it. I use to think real estate was fastlane, but then I started realizing its not (generally). I started realizing that scale is what matters and that's hard in real estate. I did take action and bought a house to flip (which I ended up renting) so taking action is not the problem.

My problem now is focus. I actually do have ADD, but I don't use that as an excuse, I like it. Besides, ADD is not why I can't focus right now. The problem is probably that I'm just looking to make money. I don't have much capital to start anything (<$10k) but I have been buying and selling on craigslist more lately. I've done that for quite a while, but I'm doing it now to raise money to be used to make more money. I've made about $1000 in the last 3 weeks. I don't know what my goal is because I don't know how much I need to start a business I haven't thought of yet.

First I thought I would do the import thing but that triggered major analysis paralysis. I tend to research to the nth degree. It takes me ten minutes to buy toothpaste. Drives my wife crazy. Then I jumped to internet marketing, but that also opens a 50 gal drum of worms because there are so many options with that. Not to mention my web building skills are limited.

I'm all over the place and it is stressing me out. I've been doing craigslist deals because I know I can make money at that and I'll need that money eventually for other deals. I've also started reading how to write good copy because that will serve me well for the rest of my life.

I don't know what I'm even asking for here because I know no one can just tell me what my path should be. I guess I just needed to vent and hopefully get some encouragement and advice on how to focus and pull the trigger on something. I've just been cramming info into my head but feel like I still don't know enough on anything to act.
