Why Are You Second Guessing Yourself?
We all struggle with this problem every now and then. We come up with an idea and instead of just doing it; we tend to start thinking about the negative things about it. That is a dangerous place to live in.
Always go with your first choice or your first action because people who just jump in and take action are the ones who make it big. You can’t live your life by second guessing everything. We all know that Life is about:
- taking chances
- doing what we feel is right
- making decisions off of emotions
These are what you experience some time in your life. Nine times out of ten we will always go without second choice simply because you have went through all the bad things that will happen. Then you analyze it some more. Finally you choose the one that is the safe way out. You will go with the one that if you fail, you won’t fail big!!
That’s how you think. You know the kind of person that never will make it in business because they are more than likely not to take risk?
It’s the person who has to have all the facts before they make a decision.
This kind of person needs to know every single detail and if they do finally get in after asking a ton of questions. They are the hardest person to work with because if you tell them something then they are always second guessing what you have said. Even if you have done it and it worked.
Second Guessing Yourself Can Hurt You
So what!!
Who cares if you mess up or lose money because you tested something and it didn’t work.
David Wood said in a webinar that he hosted that we as marketers a
re all scientist doing experiments.
We are testing not second guessing.
That’s why when you test you need to know that you are going to fail. If you know that then you won’t be so mad at yourself if it happens and happy if it’s successful.
Think about it. You are testing things every day. You are even the one being tested.
This world that we live in is testing to see if it can bring you down or if you can get over the hump and do what you need to do to make it. That’s why it’s important to be around people that will help you get away from second guessing yourself.
Having that second guessing state of mind can hurt you.
