When starting any new venture, many people make the mistake of planning entirely too much and attempt to make everything perfect before actually starting the enterprise. While I am not advocating that folks should go off half cocked, I do believe there comes a point where you have to jump in with both feet when the moving parts may not be in the exact position you would like them to be.
If you are like most people, the planning will turn into a form of procrastination where your subconscious mind is afraid of what will happen if you commit to your new venture.
Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, and fear of looking stupid in front of your peers (just to name the most predominant ones) are all present in your subconscious mind and will derail your progress if you do not acknowledge their presence and respond accordingly.
The best strategy I have found to deal with this phenomenon is literally “simple”.
Keep it simple in the beginning.
Do not try to implement a dozen different moving parts or you will just convince yourself it is too complicated and quit.
Start off small and add in complications and moving parts once you have already started the ball rolling. It is much harder to get analysis paralysis when your plan is already in motion.
This works on anything from starting a business to starting a workout program. Build that website, get it published. Go to the gym even if you don’t know what you are doing and do SOMETHING. An object in motion tends to stay in motion; an object at rest tends to stay at rest.
Become an object in perpetual motion and watch all your dreams become a reality.
