So here I am... first day of starting to sell life insurance from my house as an independent contractor to pay bills, subsidize my internet business, and build an insurance agency.

I walk my dog; super pumped to get to work, and as soon as get closer to my front door, it hits me... "maybe I should do my dishes first."

And that, ladies and gentlemen... is my public enemy no. 1:

SELF-SABOTAGE - putting stuff before executing needle-moving actions; delaying action-taking; procrastinating.

It's easier to say "yeah I could only make a few calls because I had to clean my house" rather than "I made a ton of calls and didn't sell anything."

Fear of failure. So what did I do?

After being able to observe the inner head game, I just jumped into it. Boom, 2 sales made and another 1 lined up... on day 1.

How do you guys deal with your head trying to rob you of your success and riches when it is presented with discomfort?
