Sup,
So I've recently noticed a simple pattern in all of my decision-making,
"abhor everything bad until you reach perfect and maybe you'll reach success"
This is how I approach everything. I abhor bad strategy until I look up or create the right one (very rarely create something myself), and attempt at executing it (fail to act or act until failure).
I abhor bad and unproductive outreach and am slashed if I have to do something I know is not good. I abhor bad friends until I can gain success because then the higher people will listen to me. Because I hope if I can be perfect and will do perfect the outcome is perfect and thus satisfactory.
My problem is - something rarely pops out. I spend a lot of time thinking, but I don't do outreach I am supposed to do. Because when I start doing outreach it becomes "holy crap. Don't you realize you can't SEO someone in 1 month? If we don't come up with something, and you won't be able to leadgen for your clients, you won't earn any money."
Is this headspace entirely wrong? Something is definitely wrong about me, because all the people seem to walk around me a looong way. Usually it's mediocre people that hate me around them, not the relatively successful ones. But I don't even know what decisions to do, so I came to ask - maybe the strategy that I have "inherited" from my family is entirely wrong?
