While I don't discount your point, and believe you have some great advice there that will help a lot of people, everybody is different. We all think differently and at different speeds. Some of us are architects, some of us prefer the hammer and nail, some engineer commercial properties others entire metropolises. Some people like to walk, others prefer bikes, Bob drives, Fred buses and takes the train, Sally flies and Georgia sails.
Misdirection, chaos, tangents, etc are not helpful or productive. However, if you already have a vision, you already have a master plan, then perhaps you need to do some recognizance. It's important to build a solid foundation, and if you're really well focused on the big picture, stopping to explore new fuel technologies, engine enhancements, vertical thrusters to go around traffic jams or rough terrain, closed roads, etc... Well then aren't you just building a stronger foundation that lasts longer and makes your big picture reality? This is the experience I've had in life. When you know what you want and you're determined to get there, which roads you take are more important than how many times you stop to learn something new, add more tools and maybe increase your average cruising speed on the success super-highway.
That's my take on it, but everything in moderation. You need to stay focused for sure, and you must ensure that you continue moving forward, taking action and evaluating your progress, reviewing your goals.
A+ @TiffanyDow but this one is for the people out there who aren't new in this, have experience in many areas and might have a solid big picture idea on their vision board, with a puzzle of little pictures leading up to it and a spattering of unplaced pieces. To me, it's kind of like driving lessons... At first you need to pay more attention to your hand in front of your face, and the next bumper in front of you... Once you really know how to drive is when you're staring ahead as far as you can see and all the details are filled in with your peripheral vision. I hope you appreciate this too ;-)

Now they could continue following the GPS's instructions and reach their destination (aka make money using the original course), but Noooooooooo...they won't do that. They want to see the BIG PICTURE to make sure they're on the right path. They want to pull over to the side of the road, and try to zoom out and see each turn and street they might go on IF they follow each of the roads individually. (aka: are they making a mistake ...being an affiliate marketer, setting up AdSense, writing an eBook, etc.). So they wind up sitting on the side of the road for too long, never reaching their destination - maybe even running out of gas (like when they post here or email me that they're overwhelmed and maybe quitting). SCREW the big picture, folks! It's a big hot mess like the intimidating scene in the picture above! You're never going to make money that way. Heck put the thing into practice FULLY before backtracking and choosing another route. And that doesn't mean halfassing it, either. Don't put a little bit of the product into practice. At least try the steps before coming to the conclusion it doesn't work. Or find an alternate way to implement the step, but DO it first. There have been some products I wound up not liking, but I completed them and they ARE making me money - 1 yr later! But maybe it wasn't the scenic route I wanted. Oh well, try something else! But stop pulling over to the side of the road to try to figure it all out. Such a waste of time! tiff |
