PARALYSIS BY OVERWHELM

I see this with small business owners a lot.

The good news is that there is a way around it.

If your instinct tells you that this ‘thing’ that you are interested in could be good for your business, you owe it to yourself to try it.

So try it.

Don’t stop now.

You have come too far.

You just need to keep taking small steps, then soon the impossible will seem easy.

Just start it.

Start it now!

“Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”

George Herbert, British Poet

Do one thing today and every day to move closer to making it happen.

Call other business owners who have already done it.

Ask suppliers for more information about it.

Buy a book that explains it in more detail.

Just keep taking small steps forward and soon you will realise that this ‘thing’ is a part of your every working day, and is ingrained into your business and works as well as you always hoped that it would do.
