Are you making it harder than it needs to be?
What?! Me making this harder than it needs to be?
Surely, you jest!
Ummm... yeah....well....probably!
I tend to over think things.
I tend to feel that I don't know enough to do what I know needs to be done.
I think I need to be an expert before I can get really started making money.
I think I need to be as good as ___________(fill in the blank).
I tend to think there's already so much competition, what could I possibly offer.
Then I over think it some more.
And then I catch myself....
Calling bull on yourself is never easy or fun.
I know better than this.
Yeah, I know that the best and sweetest rewards come after the challenges, like flowers after the storm.
The training we have here is awesome
. I'm in the best of company. My questions are always answered quickly.
I'm smart. I can do this.
I can more than just simply do this! I can make it happen at an amazing level.
No over thinking!
No self doubt!
No second guessing!
Nothing but smooth sailing!
STOP MAKING IT HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE!
Go get it!

This is so true! We almost all tend to stuff our heads with negative thoughts about our abilities. Instead of just saying, "Ok, I'm learning and doing what needs to be done to get there." I think we get lost easily by comparing ourselves with those we see succeeding in front of us. While these same people went through challenges to manage and failures before their great success. Because that is what success is, a succession of failures and challenges before the BIG moment.

Right there with ya. Love it....success is a succession of failures. That's brilliant!!! Thanks for sharing! Christine
Thanks for asking. Everything is going very well, I'm surely moving forward.I hope it's as good for you.
Yes Christine it’s easy to do. My biggest problem is I keep writing content but it seems a slow slog to get the number of posts up on my site compared to everyone else. Maybe I’m over researching and it’s that which takes the time but I want to put valid info on my site. You’re right Christine self doubt is always sitting on my shoulder mocking me.
Have a good weekend, thanks for posting.
Hi,
That's one mean 'ornery looking cuss bull to me.. who packs some weight!! we call them Highland Cows pronounced Coos!!lol
Love the crystal clear headed thinking and definitely have to have that focused mind to 'Go get it!!'. You are always thought provoking because my head starts to go in different tangents such as is it really that simple!! I know its not but thinking of it in that way certainly makes things straightforward. Guess 'keep it simple' counts for a lot!!
Have a great weekend..;)

Thanks. I'm not sure its that simple but it sure instead hard as I seem to make it to be! Thanks for sharing a bit of the day with me. Christine!
Your most welcome!! I believe you are right not to look at it through rose tinted specs. as we all are.. its just that it makes a whole lot more sense in the way you suggest to view it and a whole lot better!!
Sharing part of my day with you is at my pleasure...;)

I am guilty as charged! I spend way too much time worrying about things and of course, making things way harder than they have to be.
One lesson that I've s-l-o-w-l-y learned from this is to ASK. 1) Ask questions and 2) Ask for help.
It has been my experience that I make things harder for myself by trying to go it alone. Not that I feel there is no one capable of helping but I have this notion that I can solve the problem on my own more quickly than if I get another person involved.
What happens, I end p spending more time following false leads which eventually brings me to ask for the help I should have asked for in the beginning.
This also teaches me that I am capable of achieving anything I set out to do. I've also learned to think past the idea that a certain market is too saturated and there is no room for me.
Over the years I've watched many, many people become successful in an area I didn't think would be profitable. As a result, my thinking has taken a full 180° and now I feel, "If I don't do ____ someone else will!"
Have a wonderful weekend Christine and "Go get it!"

Asbolutely! It's amazing the things we do to sabotage ourselves! Thank you for sharing this. It's always great to hear from you.
Christine
And as always it is a pleasure reading your though provoking posts!
Susan
We all think way too much and second, guess ourselves our first few years in this business but stick to the plan and learn as much as you can from more experienced members and you will accomplish your goals
