Hi,guys. My head's spinning from information overload. IT seems that there's just so much that needs to be done here. Do you have any advice?

    Information overload is pretty common. My suggestion would be to think about everything all the information you have so far and determine what is the one activity/process/thing you need to really know or accomplish first. Block off some time and learn as much as you can about it and then stop (seriously, if you don't give yourself a deadline, you can go on forever gathering information). Once you're done gathering info, spend at least an equal amount of time actually putting into practice what you've learned - learning by experience will be way more valuable.

    Once you've done that, move on to the next activity/process/thing you think you need to learn and repeat. Deal with overload by focusing on only one thing at a time. It's not always easy, but you can do it.

    Good luck!!

    Yes, STOP READING EVERY PRODUCT YOU COME ACROSS AND TAKE ACTION!! I was stuck in information overload for about a year... TAKE ACTION, you can get stuck in a vicious cycle of chasing the best product (incase you haven't figured it out, they are all basically the same thing) then when you finally do decide to take action you will realize you have so much info that you aren't sure what to take action doing... Go back to the basics, take the first step-chose your niche, then second-build your site, then your traffic source and so on. You just HAVE to stop reading everything and act. Track your goals and give yourself deadlines.

    A lot of people will just say take action, take action... but so many products and guides tell you what to do but don't tell you HOW to do it, making it difficult to know how to take action!

    If you're looking for a good guide seek out just one quality product and stick with it. Here's what I think a good product contains: video lessons + transcripts, customer support/coaching, a forum, constant updates and a money back guarantee. Not sure how many products contain all of these, but a good product will definitely contain most of them (especially a product aimed at newbies).

    Great point, Mark. Motivation, even Know-how, won't get the job done. Here's one of my favorite analogies: Your car breaks down. You need to fix it. You NEED it working; that's motivation, no doubt you have it!

    You even have the owner's manual. You have the Know-how.

    But still, you can't fix the car if you don't have the TOOLS.

    Much of our stagnation or paralyzation (even much of our failure) comes not from lack of Motivation, or even lack of Know-how. It comes down to not having the Tools.

    And no "Law of Attraction" or meditation technique, however diligent you are with them, will bring you a wrench.

    One of the things I love most about the Warrior Forum is the way members share TOOLS with each other.

    Do the opposite of what you are doing so it unspins!!!


    Just playing, you need to take a week off, develop a strategy..a specific strategy adn action plan, and then follow it. Dotn jump around, dont switch methods, dont buy another product, dont do anythign but attack your set action plan.

    I feel your pain...its a pain many newbies share. Unfortunately info paralysis tends to win over many newbs..wishign you luck in conquering it
