Just wanted to say hello. I read a post on Reddit that suggested TMF as a great book. I read it, found this forum and registered. I normally would lurk for a while but I'd like to come clean about myself. I doubt myself to a certain extent. I'd love some feedback/advice so that I can work through this.
I feel strongly that I can achieve millionaire status, and that I can work to accomplish the goal. I'm great with finances and decent in a few key areas (SEO, adwords, etc.). Basically, I'm not an idiot.
However, every idea I come up with, I begin to execute because I get excited that this could be something that will bring wealth. I think through the possibilities and come to the conclusion that it probably can bring success. I begin the process (not event) and throw myself into it.
The problem comes up right after I start though. I begin to doubt whether it's actually a great idea or not. I think "What if this doesn't get me the wealth or what if someone else does it better? What if I fail?" Then I worry it might be a waste of the next however many years it takes and I'm afraid that I should have been focusing on something else during that time. So I end up never acting fully on the idea, and thus the cycle starts over again.
Anybody experience this? How do you get through that feeling?
To illustrate, I've got an idea I feel strongly about right now. I work in the moving industry and have access to a bunch of moving companies and their contact information. It occurred to me that I could slowly work on SEO and develop a moving company site and then sell the leads to these companies. Over time I can see it becoming my process that brings me to the Millionaire Fastlane status. But then I think, what if someone else does this? Or what about the other websites doing this? I read about MJ's example of a limo website that sold leads and I think to myself, "maybe this isn't a smart idea because I'm doing this almost 15 years after he did."
Does anybody relate? Has anyone gotten past this successfully?
Didn't mean to make my first post this long. Cheers!
