Avoiding the Mistake of Over Thinking and No Action

By Amber L Fuller

"You are always making mountains out of mole hills." "You're just paranoid." "You're always so wishy-washy." "You're notdoing anything!" "Stop letting your thinking get the best of you." "Make up your mind already!" "I just need some time to think!"

There is a good chance some of these comments hit home with you. If so, there is also a very likely chance that you are falling right into the fourth most common mistake made when trying to make money or build a business online that's leading 98 percent of people to fail.

I honestly didn't ever think that thinking, more specifically, over thinking, was a problem or that it ever could be a problem especially in business. I always thought that I was being wise, taking my time, and not making hasty decisions, analyzing every option. I sure didn't realize how much I that until one night I was sitting with my two children watching the movie "Escape From Planet Earth". A movie about an alien named Gary Supernova, who works in mission control on Planet Baab with his brother, Scorch, who is the planet's hero. Scorch goes on a mission to Earth (the dark planet) and is captured. It's up to Gary to rescue him. Through the journey and process of saving his brother, Scorch, Gary also realizes that even though he is the "king of the nerds", knows it's smart to have a plan, that too much planning and not any action isn't a smart thing to do. He learns that he had been spending all his time thinking, analyzing everything and nothing was getting done.

It was while we watched Gary's journey, my seven year old son, turns to me saying "Mom, Gary is just like you!" I was shocked. I asked him what he meant. "You always, always, always are thinking about everything and 'Garying it to death'!" What can I say? Out of the mouths of babes. My son really opened my eyes. He was right, I was just like that and I didn't even realize it was a problem!

The fourth mistake most commonly made of the twelve is paralysis of analysis in other words, too much over thinking resulting in no action being taken.

After I saw it in myself I began seeing it all over the place! Now, if you are anything like me, you want a bullet proof success plan. You want to iron out all the wrinkles. You've researched and studied from A to Z and back to A again, wanting everything to be perfect. It happens to smart people like you all the time; over thinking, over analyzing every angle, over planning and not moving, no action, nothing getting accomplished.

"All the planning in the world won't do any good unless you have a hero to make it happen."

You unfortunately don't have a hero to make your plans for success happen and honestly, if someone did take the action it would be them who made the money off it, not you. It happens all the time. It's time to turn off your brain and hang on! You will not lower the odds against your success by merely thinking about it! Take some action today and be the hero that makes your success plan happen today!
