Have you ever been stuck trying to make a decision about something?
Happens to me a lot. I want what I do to be right so I stall – I stall because maybe I think of something and then I think of the downside, the negatives. And I can’t make that decision until eventually I shake myself and say “Just do it!”.
I went to an internet Marketing Mastermind Group Meeting last evening and had we some great discussions.
Internet Marketing can be a lonely occupation, sat in front of a PC all day long. But more than that, what hit home last night was how much easier it is to move an idea forward when you have a bunch of like-minded people to bounce those ideas off.
I didn’t agree with every idea, some things I already knew. But guess what – I came away knowing a whole heap of new little things, a really big concept fell into place and I got a whole load of different viewpoints to consider.
That meeting was worth hours of sat-on-my-own-ness in terms of moving some of my ideas forward.
They say two heads are better than one. And for some aspects of life it may be just 1+1 = 2. But when you’re stuck, stopped by analysis paralysis, 1 + 1 = 5 and 1 + 5 = 100.
And I guess it’s because when you self-talk about your problem, you are often stuck because you lack a few critical viewpoints.
And with the addition of those new viewpoints, that new input, many ideas can now be rejected while others can be narrowed down and tested against not only your own views but all these extra viewpoints.
Even just phoning someone for a chat about something will move you forward far faster – believe me!
Even two people with little experience will make decisions much better than someone alone.
So, get yourself involved with at least one other person and preferably, find a group or create your own mastermind group.
