Hello, my friend. I just wanted to come and speak real quick on one of the biggest mind blocks I think an entrepreneur will face. And if you're facing it, I hope that you will, for like a better term, snap out of it. And it is what I like to call creative paralysis. And creative paralysis is when you are working on one project and a bright idea come up. So you begin the next project and the next project. And before you know it, you have a lot of projects that are incomplete and you have gained nothing from it. Being an entrepreneur is a creative art. It is a form of creativity. But I think as you build out your business, it's important to be able to set aside all of those creative ideas and focus on one and build that one thing up and then move forward. So instead of me telling you what not to do, I would just say, I recommend you find a journal and kind of label it like my 500 ideas. Write those ideas down and then pick one idea and put all of your effort into that one idea. Pitch that one idea, promote that one idea, sell that one idea and get real good at that one idea and then move on to the next. That way you're not overwhelmed, you don't find burnout and you can give yourself time to think through the creative process of how you're going to go about implementing your next creative idea. I know as an entrepreneur, I'm guilty of it. I hope that helps someone. For today, that's our two minutes and I hope you will join me on the next episode.
