Are you holding back?

by BenJamin Prater on May 20, 2010

What is holding you back from starting your own online business?

I meet many folks that are ‘on the verge’ of getting started… and have been, some for years.

Are you like this:

You are waiting for the perfect business idea.

You are waiting for the perfect name.

You are waiting for the right partner.

You are waiting for validation from someone else.

You are waiting for the perfect moment.

If this sounds like you, I want to give you a little strategy that has helped me over the years:

“Just do something today.”

It can be a super tiny thing. Register a domain. Get a Blogger account. Get out a napkin and sketch out your idea a little more. Spend a few minutes continuing to flesh out your business plan.

And then tomorrow, do a little something else. Nothing big, nothing grand. But give it an honest 60 seconds.

You may resist this, but if you are an intrepid explorer, try it for a couple weeks. You might be surprised at how easy it is to “hack yourself!”

I agree… Many ideas come to mind several times.. but it is always like better idea will come next..
that’s the reason i thought i will put ideas on blog and after 6 months, read all and take action on one..

But after reading your comment of 60 seconds.. thinking what to do..
May be pickup 1 idea and start with it.. will see whatever happens.

All the best… !!! Thanks for being buddy of idea lovers.
