Paralysis by analysis is what I call it. It’s a problem that many people trying to start a home business have. Are you one of them? Are you sitting there in front of your computer with a spreadsheet trying to figure out what you’re going to do first or next? Are you stuck in neutral? If you are, you might want to read this article. It may just be the only way to finally get you off the pot.

I’m going to give you a little exercise to do and then, after I give it to you, I’m going to explain to you why I’ve given it to you. Are we cool with that? Great…here is what I want you to do. I want you to close your eyes and pretend that in 30 days you are going to be tossed out on the street. You won’t be able to pay your rent, your utilities, or even buy food. You will be totally destitute 30 days from now.

How does it feel? It’s a scary thought, isn’t it? I know that if I knew that I was going to be destitute in 30 days, I’d probably be having a heart attack right about now. But if you’re any kind of a rational human being, unless you have ice water for blood, that thought is going to make you FINALLY do something…take action. That’s right. Faced with the worst, you’re going to get off that pot and FINALLY do something. You won’t even care what it is. You’ll grasp at any straw to try to make a buck.

Sometimes, we need that kind of kick in the rear in order to get something going. That’s what I needed when I lost my last corporate America job at the end of 1999. I was faced with being homeless. I had no choice but to find some way to make a living. It was the scariest time of my life. I never want to go back to those days again. Fortunately, having built a solid business, I don’t have to worry about that.

But the truth is, if I was still working, or didn’t need the money, I might have thought about starting a home business, but I probably would have never taken action. I didn’t have to. Sometimes you have to make it like it’s the end of the world in order to get yourself to do something.

So today, not tomorrow, but today…I want you to actually DO something for your home business. I want you to stop thinking and do something…anything. Even if it’s just something as simple as buying a domain and getting web hosting. Stop staring at a piece of paper with some well intentioned plans and start putting them into operation.

You’ll thank me tomorrow.

To YOUR Success,
