DO I HAVE SHINY OBJECT SYNDROME?
I have heard about Shiny Object Syndrome alot over the past 2 years. I have come to realise I definately have this disease. Yes I pulled up a Google Search on the subject and its a disease of distraction. I got it bad. I get distracted by many things in the marketing world and can,t seem to focus my efforts and master one skill. I seem to like so many methods about marketing. I have purchased many online opportunities over the years and never been able to stick to anything, I lose interest very quickly, even if things are going positive with what I am trying to achieve. This comes in the form of being distracted by the next big thing. One day I see an opportunity about Blogging, another on Social Media Marketing, Search Engine Optimisation, Affiliate Marketing, Facebook ads etc. I then get distracted and take a look, get interested for two minutes and give that a GO! often many times purchasing and doing nothing with my purchase. I convince myself I will get back to that in the near future but usually the next SHINY OBJECT comes along and takes my focus. Its very serious as I am wasting my own time and money, if I have,nt even started the training or opportunity or even done anything with it.
SO YES I DO HAVE "SHINY OBJECT SYNDROME" and need to get rid of that disease of distraction immediately!
Kind Regards
