014: How to Know Which Ideas Deserve Your Attention & Which Can Wait!

Oct 11, 2017

Hi, everyone!

Do you suffer from an overabundance of ideas? You know what I'm talking about – you're trying to figure out the next step you want to take for your business, but you have a dozen potential plans swirling around in your head and it's hard to narrow down on The One!

“I want to host an in-person event!”

“My new course should be on XYZ!”

“I should start a new online community!”

AHHHHH!

I call this “idea mania” and let me tell you – it's something I am VERY familiar with! Having too many ideas can leave you feeling overwhelmed and confused.

And a lot of the time, none of the ideas from a mile-long list actually get implemented. (Even if they are brilliant ideas!)

Here's the thing about ideas – they are useless unless you're able to hone in on one, buckle down, and actually get it done!

 Ideas are easy. FOCUS is tough.

But don't worry – over the years I've developed some tips and tricks to help me deal with my own idea mania. And now I want to share them with you!

In this episode, I'm going to:

• Explain the reasons behind idea mania – and how to counteract it!
• Teach you how to give your spare ideas a new home until you're ready to use them!
• Give you the list of questions you need to ask yourself in order to figure out exactly which idea you should be focusing on RIGHT NOW – and which ones can wait
• Get you on your way to building your plan!

Say GOODBYE to idea mania!
