Analysis paralysis

I’m going to keep this short and sweet tonight. Last went pretty well. It ended with some unsolicited feedback from someone I trust and consider a friend about how I over analyze things. It’s true. What this person is not aware of is that I have been trying to improve my leadership presence, and there are projects I have stewing on my back burner. In the process of learning and trying to decide what photos to use, which applications to use, how to insert the forms from one service into another, my mind kept telling me not to publish my landing page until the aesthetic was how I desired and functional. I’m taking this course and the coach has said repeatedly, just put something out there.

Inherently, I am a planner. I try to consider all the scenarios. I honestly thought I had grown out of my perfectionist stage. This morning, I tuned into Coffee with Chrystal (The Sister Circle Inner Circle) on YouTube about midway through the chat. It was literally a few minutes before she played a video. This guy is walking and tells a short story (he did not remember the original creator) about how a smart person will spend six months planning a project and someone opposite will just start trying stuff until something eventually works…and even if it doesn’t work, they now have that amount of practical knowledge they can apply to the next thing. “Analysis paralysis” he termed it. I felt sooooo naked and ashamed.

And so, I decided to push publish today. I can add to it, change themes, add pages and redirect how my heart sees fit. It’s time to do instead of planning to do, letting my dreams become overdue. My landing page has taken flight, AND still is in progress. : )

Have a great week!
