Analysis Paralysis - The Enemy of Your Success

You have probably heard of this phrase before. What is it and do you have it?

In my opinion Analysis Paralysis is the biggest enemy of the poor and the major obstacle to actually making money online or off. There are other big obstacles like excuses or lack of education, but these fall far behind Analysis Paralysis. This one "disease" affects a lot of people and most likely you are infected with it, too.

What is Analysis Paralysis?

Analysis Paralysis is the condition of over-thinking a course of action to the point you actually never take action. It's when you try to think of all of the reasons you might fail, and allow those reasons to paralyze you from taking positive action. You actually over-analyze to the point where succeeding is overshadowed by these negative thoughts.

Properly thinking about and preparing for possible pitfalls BEFORE taking action is a good thing. It is always good to think about the costs and the risks of a course of action before you act so as to minimize those costs. As I said, this is a good thing.

However, what most people do, even when they are given detailed, step-by-step instructions, is over-think and over-analyze the goal they are trying to reach and they become overwhelmed by the weight of just thinking about it. After so much thought, they just give up and never take action towards their goal.

What I have discovered in business and in other important matters of life is that some things can't be learned by just thinking about it. A lot of learning comes by actually doing it.

For example, if a young boy wants to become a professional quarterback when he is older, he could study or go to a science class and learn about the physics of velocity, trajectory, lift and gravity in order to throw the perfect football pass. He may even get a high grade on his physics exam. But this way of learning can only take him so far. Somewhere along the line he has to get on that football field and actually throw the ball to learn how to throw the perfect pass.

"There's learning by theory but there is a greater learning by doing."

What Analysis Paralysis does is have that young boy sitting on the sidelines of the football field, watching the other boys playing the game while he sits there and THINKS about the physics of the football rather than actually PLAYING the game.

That's not fun at all!

If you want to make money online, you have to get into the game. You have to take action and sometimes with action there comes failure. But as someone famous said long ago, "failure is a good teacher."

And if you learn (by taking action) you will succeed.

So don't let Analysis Paralysis rob you of your dreams. You can succeed in life. You can reach the goals you set for yourself. You can make the money you want to make if you take action doing the right thing today.
