What are you made of?

[Deleted50669]

What are you made of? I stood in the mirror for a while today pondering this. The answer determines if I act or continue to question everything, succeed or fail, live miserably or happily.

The past month I've done nothing but read, speculate, ask questions, and fear failure. Tonight I cut this bs off and took action. I bought a domain for a product website. I began researching sources for the product. I began researching SEO-optimized themes for an e-commerce layout. I began researching targeting strategies for the niche audience I'm planning to serve. I began researching what plugins will provide the best website functionality. I may never make a sale, but I ACTED. It feels like I broke through some unnamable barrier of fear and hesitation, and now I'm hurdling in a blank direction towards either success or learning (probably learning this time).

What are you made of? What doubts are demonizing your willingness to act? Let go of them and do... something. It doesn't matter what, just take a damn step.
