scarey, ….what if it doesn’t work

I couldn’t agree more with this. I heard a great podcast once from a guy who said that what you should do when you have your concept is actually to test it as quickly as possible. Even if you have to buy in the product you are intending to make. Otherwise you tend to tweak and tweak and never actually release it.

When you think about it that makes great sense. What you want to do first is test your concept in the market. If it doesn’t work and you can’t sell it, you need to find out as soon as possible, otherwise you are going to be wasting a lot of time you should have been spending elsewhere.

I think that there are a couple of reasons for delaying action on certain tasks within our business – BOREDOM and FEAR! There is a lot of stuff that has to be done in our multi-skilled rolls as small biz operators that is tedious, repetitive, and mind-dumbing. And then there is the new stuff – developing new markets, finding new customers, re-building your web-site, jumping into blogging, that should be fun but is downright scarey, because after all the planning, testing, implementation, what if it doesn’t work? Aaaghh. Your first point about being clear and continually re-visiting your goals is a really powerful way to accept the boredom, overcome the fear and just keep moving forward.
