Symptom: You want to be a writer, you've written several articles, but just n-o-t- quite the way you want them. It needs a little more.... Symptom: You want to start a web site, you have finished designing the layout, but just n-o-t quite ready to publish. You need to check on...... Symptom: You have decided on starting your own business, you have everything in place, but just n-o-t quite ready to "open". There's one more..... Diagnosis: ......Paralysis Of Analysis!

I know from personal experience just how this feels. I have had so many ideas, good ideas, but just when it came down to the final step....I needed to "add this" or "change that", or "just tweak it a little more". I "tweaked" it until I tweaked it out! It was never quite right. The result was, it never got completed. A perfect example is I could have been on the Internet eight years ago, even six years ago, but I managed to "analyze" myself right out of it. Until I "published" my first website BizyBodies.com, and started my first ezine, BizyBodies.com Ezine, I had only completed three things in my life.... Sandra, Susan, and Stacey...... my three daughters! We are of the opinion it has to be "perfect" before we can actually begin whatever it is we are trying to do. We are stopped because we analyze this, and we analyze that, then....we analyze the analysis. By that time we have contracted.....Paralysis Of Analysis. So what can you do to get the "feeling" back? To coin a phrase....."Just do it"!.....It doesn't have to be perfect. In fact, it won't ever be...perfect. The term Ready, Aim, Fire comes to mind, however sometimes we need to.... Ready, FIRE, and then Aim. The point is to move yourself forward. You can always go back and make changes, fine tune it, ....."tweak" it. That comes from gaining knowledge and experience. Now write that article, submit it,.....design that web site, publish it,......research that business, open it...... then go back and "tweak" it. The fact you are reading this "published" (completed) article is a step on the road to recovery which means, I no longer suffer from.....The Paralysis of Analysis!
