You CANNOT Be Afraid of Change
When we start developing our 'niche' idea and put feet to those ideas, at first it's a crude piece of crap. You look at it like, nobody is going to want to see this page much less buy anything from me... I must be going in the wrong direction. I'm doing this wrong. I don't have the skills to put this together and succeed at it. My fate must be to work my butt off in a cubicle the rest of my days, this laptop lifestyle must not be for me.
That right there is the power of NEGATIVE thinking.
Self-defeating banter before you have even built the wings to TRY to fly....
If you're just starting out with this, here's a few tips to help you.
#1 - DON'T GIVE UP.
#2 - KEEP STUDYING. Work the lessons, even when they aren't going easy for you.
#3 - KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE. You had a vision when you started, don't let a little hard work throw you now. Baby steps will get you where you want to go.
#5 - ENJOY THE JOURNEY...
Wait Chris, you forgot #4! .... You're right, I did... for suspense!
Because you need this most....
#4 DON'T BE AFRAID OF CHANGE. Like the title says. Your site, your niche, and yourself need to be shaped and changed over time as your understanding changes. What you see today will not be what you see in 6 months. It's like my little boy, who scribbles on a piece of paper, but I can use the same crayon with him and draw a beautiful scene. That talent developed over time.
So will this one.

Great post Jonny, that's the problem.
That negative thinking at the start when the thing is still "a piece of crap" leads many to give up and throw the idea in the trash before it can bloom.
Yes keep on at all cost!
