Analytical questioning can be the road block to taking action!

Feeling apprehensive about making a major decision is fine. However when this indecision leads to over analyzing or you find yourself consistently questioning things or trying to make things ,”perfect” can be very debilitating and prevent us from taking any action at all.

I became interested in this topic because I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and paralyzed by my own inactions in Affiliate Marketing.

I’m starting from ground zero like some of you. I’m not a lazy person by nature, I’m actually a very hard worker, self-motivated and not afraid to endure or take on whatever obstacles or challenges that may present themselves, knowing the rewards for my efforts will pay off in the long run.

So why was I so apprehensive about writing my first blog? Was it because I was feeling intimidated, the fact that others are so far ahead of me and already written several blogs? Was I overwhelmed by all the wealth of information I’m trying to absorb? Is it possible that I was simply afraid of making a mistake or being judged? Am I trying to be to perfect? (I’m not for the record J)

Although all of these questions are legitimate and might apply to many of us, the reason behind my apprehensions is what is called, “Analysis Paralysis.”

I have a bad habit of questioning, over analyzing and over complicating things that’s actually quite simple, all because of being anxious about the end result.

This can behavior can in fact end up being detrimental to building your business, you end up procrastinating from indecision which leads to inactivity. When you’re new to something whether you’re learning something here at Wealthy Affiliate or training at your full-time job, it can feel very overwhelming, it’s like you’re on, “information overload!”

I have high-expectations for myself and when not seeing the “fruits of my labor”, as fast as quickly as I had hoped, it can be very discouraging. I learned that the key here is “balance!”

If you’re new don’t automatically expect yourself to know how to write a blog or build a website. I encourage you to follow the training and absorb as much information as you can daily and each day take some form of action.

I’m not ready to build my website yet. Not because I’m indecisive about what to write about or over analyzing the layout, etc. I’m still learning and setting things in place so I can build a strong foundation.

I took that first step of action in writing this blog. My hope is that this will encourage some of you that may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed or suffering from, “Analysis Paralyis!”

P.S. I feel really good about writing this blog, in fact I’m proud of myself and going to give myself a big hug and a kiss! (Lol)

MY BEST TO YOUR $UCCESS!
