Fear is kicking in again...
Ugh, I hate it when this happens. Yesterday, I decided that today I was going to write down, step by step, what I need to do to build my PLR store next month...and right now I'm so paralyzed with fear of forgetting something and/or doing something wrong, it's not even funny anymore.
Just 10 minutes ago I found myself browsing AliExpress, thinking I should maybe start an ecommerce site after all. I guess it's a bit of a breakthrough for me to realize I mostly procrastinate out of fear of doing something wrong. Now I just need to convince myself that procrastinating is worse than fearing imperfection.
I suppose I'm procrastinating with this blog post, although, writing it down made me realize just how silly I'm being.
Right. Off to write down step 1, keeping in mind that I can always change it up later.

Very interesting read, MikeyB. I can recognize my 9 to 5 in point 1, not so much my internet marketing endeavors. Then again, I never treated internet marketing as a business...
As for point 2, it's funny, because as soon as I had published this post, I grabbed pen and paper and created a mindmap (first ever) and the fear and doubt were gone. So in less than 10 minutes I solved my own problem simply by letting other people know I had a problem (not knowing whether anyone would actually read it or not). That's a new experience for me, actually, I hardly ever share my emotions, let alone my fears.
And I think you're right about the conditioning. It's something a lot of people struggle with, I'm one of them. Unfortunately, conditioning can be very hard to break or rather turn into something positive. Compare it to making a dog stop barking every time the mailman drops by. It takes a lot of dedication and laser sharp focus on your behalf. Unless you want to use a shock collar, but then, will you use shock therapy on yourself to get rid of your bad conditioning? I think not.
I'm going to read up on Douglas Vermeeren when I have the time, looks interesting. A book I can recommend, which has helped me the last couple of weeks, is "I Know What To Do, So Why Don't I Do It?" by Nick Hall.
great quokka and thank you for the book recommend
