Many people have the problem of getting started in blogging knowing it
will benefit them. Why? It is called analysis paralysis. And I’m going
to give you unbelievable proven tips that destroy analysis paralysis
and make you highly effective as an blog marketer producing instant
results.
What Is Analysis Paralysis?
According to Wikipedia analysis paralysis is defined as a person or
group overthinking a situation where they become paralyzed and no
course of action is taken.
We are all analytical creatures to some extent, but some are more
analytical or should I say anal than others. And if you are the type
of person that over analyzes everything you also probably the type of
person who is fearful of making decisions.
Any online entrepreneur will tell you they encounter analysis
paralysis all the time. People will signup into their programs, buy a
course or product and never do anything. Because they start to over
analyze and become paralyzed in indecision.
Symptoms of Analysis Paralysis
How do you know if you have a problem with analysis paralysis? Here is
a list of symptoms of people who suffer from this condition. Do you
find yourself suffering from any of these?
Symptoms of People Who Struggle With Analysis Paralysis:
Perfectionism: Things have to be just right or else you won’t move forward.
Indecision: You have a problem in making a decision even when all the facts are
present.
Fear of Making a Mistake: You don’t want to make a mistake so out of
fear you don’t do anything.
Paranoia: You don’t look at a situation objectively and your
perception may not be based in reality.
Procrastination: Failure to get started with a task due to
overthinking it.
Overly Cautious: You weight everything so everything in your life
slows down.
Nonassertive: Tendency to be reserved not confident in speech or behavior.
How Are You Spending Your Time?
You’ll know if you have analysis paralysis if you are spending your
day researching instead of doing. You’re signing up for courses.
You’re buying books (which you don’t read). And you’ve just gotten on
another email list.
Your day is spent reading and analyzing, but no real work is being
done. You’re being busy, but not productive. Busyness doesn’t make you
successful, real action does!
You spend more time reading about blogging than actually being a
blogger. You cant learn blogging through osmosis you can only learn by
doing.
Stop buying courses, books and getting on every email list that
promises you success at blogging and just start being a blogger.
Become an blog marketing scientist. Experiment your way to success.
Yes, some of your experiments will fail, but that is part of the
process.
Success in blogging comes by doing (ACTION). There is no other way no
matter what the slimy so-called gurus tell you.
Understand that you can read about and analyze blogging for a year,
but at the end of that year you only have theory. You will have no
real actionable intel because you haven’t done anything.
Here’s how you can get rid of analysis paralysis and keep moving
forward in your life.
