You know how writers experience "Writers Block" when they are in the writing process? ... Where they just can't think clearly enough to know how to move forward in their story...

Does anyone ever feel that in their business process sometimes?

I don't know what else to call it other than "Business Block", but it's this gnawing feeling of being completely stumped or stalled and not knowing what to do next, like you just can't think.

I don't know if it's from trying to think through things so much that it's overload, or whether it's from seeing too many obstacles at one time....or maybe just being tired, or what.

I feel like I've been trudging through quicksand while trying to move forward business-wise. I mean, I've made some progress, but not near what I felt like I should have made already.

Sometimes I feel like I'm going in circles. Do you know how tiring it is to go through circles in quicksand? haha

I will post an update on my luxury thread soon, but was just wondering if anyone else has ever felt this way.
