Self Doubt...and My Best Advice for Focus and Follow Through
Published: Mon, 08/22/16
Well it's that time of year - teacher meetings, where my poor mom had to sit apologizing for my behavior (I was a talker and boy crazy, too) but where I simply get to hear wonderful praise about my own child. I let my mom live vicariously through me, though.
After my morning teacher meeting, I'm heading back to work on some finishing touches for my Halloween launch coming up as well as some fiction for my pre-made plot challenge.
I had several interesting requests for my "teach me how to" series that made me write today's email. But first, let me alert you to Justin Popovic's new Eliminating Self Doubt PLR sale here:

There IS a one time offer you see after for $47 that's a DOUBLE bundle of PLR. Lots of self help content in this one!
The whole topic of self doubt is perfect for what I want to discuss today - the people who ask me to teach them how to focus. You hear phrases like "shiny new object syndrome" thrown around and it feels like everything should be overwhelming, so you buy into it.
And it can be true - people can certainly flit around doing just enough to then lose interest before moving on to something else.
But guess what?
I don't believe you have to fully focus.
I specifically have 4-5 branches of my business and a variety of niches under my belt BECAUSE I get bored with just focusing on one thing.
You can learn what your focus threshold is and then switch gears to give yourself something fresh.
Look at the way I started this email - I'm going to be working on several things today - fiction, PLR, this email, and more of my Success from Scratch series. I can only focus for so long before I get antsy.
Embrace it. Write down several things you want to pursue. You never have to choose this or that - do both, but do a little of each every day.
And quit berating yourself for not focusing. Lack of focus is totally different from abandonment. If you're fully abandoning your projects, then it's time to scold yourself. Would you accept that behavior as the boss of a company that employed other people working for you?
Of course not!
Sometimes you have to take full responsibility and demand better behavior from yourself. But just as everyone has different learning styles, you can have different working styles, too. If you like working on multiple projects, then do them! Just don't leave until you're 110% sure it's something that's gone flat.
One other thing that's difficult to say, but it's the honest truth...
Not everyone is cut out to be an Internet Marketer. Some people flat out need supervision and tasks doled out to them. Entrepreneurs are go getters. They thrive on learning, falling down and getting back up to overcome obstacles, and setting new goals for themselves.
If you're happy never doing more than the bare minimum, just going through the robotic motions of earning enough to get by, then I'd suggest getting a 9-5 job offline.
I hope this helps! Diversify your focus and shake off your abandonment issues before you have to fire yourself.
By the way - just TWO more days until my Internet Marketing for Seniors PLR sale ENDS and goes up to full price. Don't delay if this is something you're fence sitting on.
