Skepticism ANOTHER word for Excuse.
Have you ever started a campaign, and got it "sort of going". Meaning, thought out the concept, done the keyword research, even found a product to promote, and then thought "No one will buy this, i don't even buy into it?"
That voice of Skepticism goes off in your head, and all of the sudden the WHOLE idea, that you have worked days on, seems like a "wrong decision" or a bunch of malarkey?
We sure have.
The problem with this is... nothing ever gets done. It's like assembling just the frame of a jigsaw puzzle and stating "Well, this isn't anything like I imagined! It doesn't look at all like it does on the box!"
Sometimes, what's in your head, and what comes out when you write, study, advertise, or apply isn't exactly the same. When that happens, Skepticism runs rampant, and it's best friend EXCUSES blossom.
I realized something though... sometimes, most times, it's not the voice of reason talking sense into me,--- it's the voice of fear talking me OUT of even the possibility of success.
Plans don't always bust out of the gate like a bull rushing for the matador with red cape in hand... sometimes, again, most times, it's the methodical, thought-filled, oft times mundane activities that CLEAR our heads enough to come up with that brilliant plan.... BUT if Skepticism is allowed to throw a dinner party with EXCUSES... those ideas will never be developed within mistakes, and trials, and successes....

You make a good point. The beauty of this business is that you can afford to test many niches and they don't cost you much. Just a little time. Sometimes the oddest ideas work, so may as well give them a go. Skepticism is like a contagious disease. Fills people full of doubt.
