I NEED INSPIRATION TO TAKE ACTION!! :(

15 years ago

Chewie,

Pick one of your 20 ideas, the one that you like the most right now.

Sit down, away from the computer with a pen & paper, and write out your action plan for this initial idea.

That's your beginning.

Since I have no idea what your idea is, I can't help with the middle/end.

How about you set your self some milestones? for example.. at the end of so XX weeks i want to be earning at least XXXX on a daily basis. See which one of your ideas is most likelly do achieve it and go for it. Since you feel they are all good It is better to start with your most favourite. Try and achieve your goal by the deadlines you set yourself.

You begin by doing what Jared said.
Pick an idea grab a pencil and paper.
Now decide what you want to do with that idea and start writing down what you think you need to do to get there.
And remember, we're still going to be watching you.

Thanks

Hi Chewie,

Stephen Covey has 7 effective principles:

The first one is: Be Proactive
You sound like you are proactive in learning, just that you need a push in working it out.

The second one is: Have an End In Mind
$$$ how much $$$?
E.g. Set a $5 per day plan and WORK on it, and I trust that you can do it

The Third ONE is First Thing First:
What do you need? If you need a plan, see if the below 1 page flowchart may cut off the info overload that you are having?
http://thewealthyhub.com/vipdesk/dow...ses-10-day.pdf

Take Actions mate... and tons of it!
Get someone to buddy up with you and that will help.

When you finish the first 3 steps above, you may get the 7 habits for effective people to complete the remaining the 4 steps

Cheers!
Roy

Thanks

I could always come to your place of work, hold a gun to your head, take you out back, threaten to shoot you and kill you unless you do it, then let you run off covered in your own piss.

Thank you for your nice (and rude - lol) comments guys!

My problem is that I already know how much I want to earn per month using I.M., I already have sitted down with a sheet of paper and pencil (in fact- several times, with several sheets of paper). I have my desktop FULL of papers. BUT,....I don't know what to do or how to make a plan effectively. Because I have made bad planning in the past. And my wife is getting anxious because she says that i talk about this with great passion and that I spend many hours studying, reading, etc. But she is not seeing any results (money getting in our account - just a few bucks here, just a few bucks there).

I think, regardless all hours I spent studying, I haven't found a good model or system to model t the benning so I can learn to do it by myself later.

Netpro7: thanks for your model plan....I don't understand many things or I don't know how to do some of them, but I will try to follow it.

Thanks

chewie49, you are not alone. I feel the same exact way you do about planning. Tomorrow I plan to write down all of the programs I want to do, then just choose one and block every other thing out.

I am just like you. I have read many ebooks and watched many videos, but where do I start? I am going through information overload. A big problem I have is I get sidetracked and distracted with things like emails and other opportunities.

Also, I am the type of person who doesn't feel comfortable asking for help. I feel like I am bothering the other person. I need to take make a plan an execute it.

Thanks

I have the same problem a lot of times. "Getting started is the hardest part of business," that and staying on track.

Do this, and don't hesitate to do them... you sound like me so you need everything in simple steps (as I tend to over complicate things).
- Get up
- Find a piece of paper, a GOOD writing pen (I tend to think more before I write because it's a pen)
- Locate a good, comfy chair/couch/bed, without any distractions (or few distractions, that are controllable. ie, a TV is a distraction but it can be turned off)
- Write your first goal out. I don't care if you have already, do it again.
- Write the basic description of all of your ideas... take the time to write them all out. I get impatient when writing such stuff so it helps me realize what ideas I get annoyed about having to write out...then I chuck them.
- For the ones that did get written down, you can either repeat the above step to minimize the selection or just decide on one.
- Write out how the company will work/make you money... i.e., it can be as simple as "1 employee does X per day. This is worth X to me." if it's that type of business; most are more complicated though.
- Continue expanding the idea, let the details flow out of you.
Soon, you'll have a good idea of what it will take to start/run, and be able to write a step-by-step guide. Then pin that up on your wall next to your computer, or a place you can easily see it whenever you want to, without finding it, etc.

Good luck and God bless!

  The really great thing is that you have A LOT of ideas you want to work on.....
  
  so just grab the quickest, easiest, cheapest one and use it as a PRACTICE PROJECT.
  
  Take the pressure off yourself... it doesn't need to be perfect... just take the first step, play with it as a practice session to help sharpen the skills and get over the newbie nerves.
  
  eg: if you build a website, tell yourself that this is after all just the first of a dozen or so that you will build, so it's no big deal if this one isnt perfect, you have another 11 to get better at doing this...
  
  Otherwise, we look for the 'perfect deal' that of course then requires the 'perfect skills' and the perfect timing, environment, JV partners, yada yada yada, and it all just freezes to the spot.. paralysis by analysis.
  
  J U S T
  
  D O
  
  IT !
  
  and go take one step today and let the rest flow on your PRACTICE PROJECT...
  
  Thanks

I know what you are going to, I have a hard time getting motivated to Get STARTED myself too.

I know if I just start I will make a lot of money. but, it's like Im punishing myself not to be wealthy and well off..

For me it's been like this for a long time, I couldnt afford a new computer and therefor not use the latest softwares to create web pages.

I believe something is holding you back because you don't know how to structure your day. And were to put in the hours. Right?

There also may be some kinds of things you are not familiar with on a more technical level.

Like how to actually promote your web site Step by step. And how to find a good web designer.

You have to figure out were to start, and if you don't you should write down the things you are uncertain for, which are holding you back.

Hope this helps, I'm exactly like this too.

Thanks

Hi Chewie49
I'm brand new to this stuff, and have been doing so much reading, watching videos, and looking at websites it's making my head spin. Today I read 60 minute affiliate, and there's a plan in there which looks like good sense to me, I'm scared about signing up for an affiliate plan and getting going, I guess though, the more of a hash of it I make, the more I'm going to learn, so I'm just going to dive in. Thing is, the more I read, the more paralysed I become, or that's how it seems. I feel like I'm swinging between excited about making it work and thinking I'll fail and what's the point. Going to give it a go though, so I guess I'll find out.
All the best.
Billy

Thanks
