🔕 The 5 Signs You’re Still Stuck in Research Mode
Be honest with yourself. Which one is you? 1.You’ve watched more trainings than you’ve published posts. 2. You’ve changed your niche 3+ times. 3. You keep saying “I’m almost ready to launch.” 4. You save content about starting a business… but don’t start yours. 5. You feel busy learning, but nothing you’ve built exists yet. None of these mean you’re lazy. They mean you’re stuck in what I call research comfort. It feels productive. It feels responsible. It feels safe. But it’s still stuck. Most people don’t fail because they chose the wrong idea. They fail because they never chose one long enough to build momentum. Which number are you right now?

That was definitely me a few short months ago, but I finally did take action and continue to take action, but my mind definitely wants to go back into research mode, lol!
What is everyone up to today?
It's Sunday, we have people from all the world in this growing community. It might already be Monday for some. How do you typically spend your Sundays? Let's get to know each other a bit more.

Well, I just got home from church and I have some free time now before I go to the movies this evening. I'm actually getting ready to continue on in the classroom here with your videos/lessons.
The Reason You’re Still Stuck Isn’t Lack of Information
It’s something worse. You’re not stuck because you don’t know what to do. You’re stuck because you haven’t done it yet. And before you argue with me… I’ve looked at hundreds of responses, polls, and conversations from people trying to build something of their own. The pattern is undeniable. Most people aren’t building. They’re researching. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 People think they’re making progress because they’re: • watching another training • buying another course • tweaking another idea • planning another strategy But none of that is building. That’s mental motion, not real motion. You can spend months rearranging ideas in your head and still be standing in the exact same place. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 3 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 Every stalled builder I’ve worked with runs into the same trio: Fear. Overthinking. Perfectionism. They don’t show up as villains. They show up sounding responsible. “I just want to make sure this is right.” But what’s really happening is this: You’re trying to buy certainty before you act. Certainty doesn’t come before action. It comes after. “𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲” 𝗜𝘀 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 Most people are still operating like employees. They’re waiting for instructions. Waiting for permission. Waiting for the perfect time block. Waiting for clarity. Builders don’t wait. They move first. Clarity follows motion... not the other way around. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 - 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 You don’t get to decide when your offer is good enough. The market does. Customers don’t buy perfect. They buy useful. The fastest way forward is simple: Launch messy. Adjust fast. Repeat. Simple wins because simple ships. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘁 You don’t need more information. You need a decision. A decision to move before you feel ready. A decision to act while it’s uncomfortable. A decision to stop negotiating with fear. Because progress doesn’t happen when fear disappears. Progress happens when you move anyway.

Wow! This is what I like so much about you. This is why I've joined this community. You lay it bare but state the complete truth. You know exactly what I and others are going through because you have experienced the exact same thing before. I want to be known as the one that finally took action.
🟢 Business Mindset
The reason I struggled with so many side hustles and failed attempts (26 in 14 years) was because I didn't have the right mindset for business. I learned so many bad habits from school and the corporate world that did not transfer over to business. I had to unlearn a lot of things. The good news is that anyone can work on their mindset. Just like anything, it takes practice and a long term commitment. Do you think the have the right mindset to be a business owner? Vote in the pool and then tell me your biggest mindset roadblock. P.S. Are you on the waitlist for the 90-day execution sprint? The official announcement is going out today and you have to be on the waitlist to get it. Click here to get added

My biggest roadblock (blocks) has been consistency and overthinking. I overthink things too much and that can at times keep me from taking action and I definitely want to change that.

@Brian O'Neill yes, you are definitely right about that. When it comes down to it, a decision has to be me made and sometimes with the right guidance or help, that decision can be made easier which is what you helped me with today 😁
Why Most Online Businesses Die (And No One Wants To Admit It)
I’ve coached hundreds of people. I’ve had well over a thousand members come through my Skool communities. Almost every single one of them had a solid business idea. Some of them had great ideas. A few had ideas that made me think, “Dang, I wish I’d thought of that.” And yet most of them didn’t get traction. Not because their idea was bad. Not because they weren’t smart. Not because they didn’t have potential. It’s because they avoided the one thing that actually makes a business work. Traffic. Lead generation. Letting people knowing you exist. Everyone wants a way around this part. I did too. I spent years trying to find shortcuts, hacks, automation tricks, magic funnels, secret tactics… anything that meant I didn’t have to consistently put myself out there. None of it worked. I'm going to say this bluntly. If you’re not willing to consistently let people know your business exists, you don’t actually want a business. You might want the idea of a business. You might want the lifestyle. You might want the income. But you don’t want the responsibility. Because the responsibility is this: showing up every day and telling people what you do. That’s the job. And most are not willing to do it. Now here’s the part people usually expect me to sugarcoat, but I won’t. Traffic isn’t complicated. It’s just repetitive. - You talk about your offer. - You start conversations. - You follow up. - You invite people. - You post again. - You do it tomorrow. - Then again next week. - Then again next month. Eventually you can systematize it, automate pieces and hire help. But at the beginning? You are the marketing department. If reading that makes you tired, this probably isn’t your path. And that’s genuinely okay. Business isn’t required for a good life. But if you read that and thought, “Okay… just show me how to do it right,” then keep reading. Because I’m hosting a live workshop where I’m literally opening the hood and showing you exactly how I generate traffic. Not theory. Not slides. Not motivational fluff with a lame pitch at the end to buy more stuff. I don't do that.

Thank you for posting this. You hit the nail on the head. The thing that makes a business work, and that is traffic, the one thing I have consistently struggled with online. It feels like it can be the hardest piece of the puzzle, but like you said, it isn't really hard, just very repetitive and sometimes it just feels like you're spinning your wheels for nothing.
