If you feel you’re not progressing or can’t seem to start, you may only need to stop overcomplicating it. Don’t let overthinking prevent you from moving forward in your goals.
I’m in what I’m calling Stage 2 of my goal of owning a coffee shop. Stage 2 involves working with a professional roaster to roast large batches of coffee so I can send free samples to those interested. I’ve reached out to those who expressed interest and started obtaining numbers and emails for updates.
My thought was to set up a business text line to send messages with updates and important links. In searching for a service to use, I’ve discovered I’m taking way too long to progress. My incessant need to research has caused my staling and is postponing my goals.
I’m overcomplicating this and I guarantee you’re doing the same in your own life.
I don’t need a business number to send texts. Especially if trying to set one up is causing this much delay. If it means taking the next steps in my business, I can drop the text line idea and simply keep reaching out over tik tok. I know it works, it’s easy, and it’ll save me money. I can always go back to a business number if the need arises in the future.
When over-complication is preventing progress, go back to the basics or simplify your next steps.
If you’re trying to run more but the next step of finding a track/gym is causing you to not run at all, run in your neighborhood or anywhere nearby. If you want to eat healthier but finding recipes and needing to cook everyday leads to you eating out, meal prep and eat the same meals.
Stop overcomplicating it!
Whatever you’re looking to accomplish needs to stay manageable so you can stay consistent. If you find you’re backsliding or not taking steps to help you progress, make sure you’re not overcomplicating things. Use what works and continue to make manageable decisions that lead to better results.
