Pulling The Trigger

Written by Tevin on October 31, 2007 – 11:36 am -

I find myself at times having trouble “pulling the trigger”. I’ll so often get 90% of the way there. But that last 10% can seem so arduous. So time consuming. So difficult. That I’ll get stuck. Stalled. Or worse: Give up!

YUCK!

I hate it when I do this…

I just need to pull the trigger! I have an adwords campaign that’s 90% completed. All I basically have to do is upload the page, and pull the trigger. But I keep stalling. I keep putting it off. I keep “forgetting” to get around to it. I put the campaign together about 3 days before I launched this blog. And it sits there for close to two weeks untouched. 90% of the work done.

I haven’t implemented something on this blog like I wish I had by now (opt-in reminders, specifically) .

It isn’t for lack of knowledge. Lack of time. Or anything like that. I think it comes down to one simple reason.

Fear of Failure.

Because if I don’t pull the trigger. I can’t fail.

YIKES! Lets stop this today!

From now on, I’m going to pull the trigger. I can’t be paralyzed by the fear of failure. To become a success I must, overcome this fear. Because logically I realize that if I take ACTION and I FAIL… SO WHAT!?

Not only am I no worse off than I was before I failed. I’m one step closer to finding success. And that by definition is a success to me. I have then succeeded in finding out what doesn’t work!

Are you paralyzed by the fear of failure? Are you scared to take the plunge? Just decide. Today! You’re going to stop putting it off. And TAKE ACTION NOW.
