episode 144 - How to Overcome Decision Making Paralysis

This week on our mid-week segment I spend some time talking about a fantastic book I've started reading called Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip & Dan Heath authors of the bestselling book, Made to Stick.

In particular, one of the sections that really caught my attention was in chapter 3 where they talk about the problem of indecision. In an age where we are constantly bombarded every type of media under the sun, let's face it - it's hard for us to make firm decisions. When given a gazillion options, people naturally take the path of least resistance, and do nothing.

Consider this when it comes to starting an online business. You get ready to commit yourself to a goal of creating passive income and then what happens? Well, if you're like me early on when I first began,  you subscribe  to every e-newsletter on the planet with hopes of getting some cool new ideas right? But what happens?

You end up getting overloaded with so many ideas that your brain starts to short circuit. You begin to realize you can't do it all. You're just a finite human being with a limited amount of time, so you have to pick what works for you and unplug from all of the other messages out there telling you to "do it this way" or "do it that way".

If you're one of those people that's overwhelmed with all of the messages about how to start an online business, then I hope you'll consider unsubscribing from about 99% of them.

Decide what you want to do, and pick one strategy. If you've been a listener to our show for a long time, you know Russell and I don't sell hype. We don't promote anything that promises get rich quick.

Instead, we use a simple formula for generating passive income online and we'll be sharing these lessons for free on our upcoming Niche Website Training Webinar Tuesday September 20th at 8:00pm EST.
