What if it doesn’t work?

How often have you second-guessed yourself?
I still do it almost daily.

It’s hard sometimes. I’m trying, and I pour it all in.
There is still a part of my brain saying:
What if it doesn’t work?
What if I’m just making a fool out of myself?

There are so many little feelings of doubt.
The one thing I tell myself — and it’s definitely going to come true — is the truth:

When nothing gets done, you will also not get any reward.

When the question of what if it doesn’t work? paralyzes me —
then it will not work.

So the only response to doubt is to take action.

No matter how much you think about it, action is the only thing that will make a difference.

There can be a tiny action.
It needs to result in getting something done.

What if this newsletter will fail?
Then it’s first going to fail because I never wrote it.

The first thing to make sure the newsletter is going to win is to write it first.

When I send my newsletter regularly and consistently, it is the first step done.

Too many people complain about not seeing any results — and having too many doubts.
Yet most of them don’t take the action required.

It is hard to take action because it feels so dumb to take action when you’re in doubt.

You will doubt it until it works — and it’ll only work when you took action.

That’s the paradox.

We need to sow the seed before we see the harvest.
We need to trust the plan.
That from the seed in the ground there will be harvest.

That’s the work required for us to do.

So get to work.
Then you will also have a harvest.

  • The moment I realized I can’t do it all

    When I was in University, I did everything. I was studying, volunteering, working, hanging out with friends. I also picked up some hobbies, like hunting, fishing and visiting reenactments. All of those things were time consuming. Maybe you know the feeling of:you can do everything when you’re on the top of the world. I really liked to be the Jack of all Trades. I saw a lot of people becoming experts, yet I stayed a generalist. It is said that Warren Buffet gave this advice once:Write out all…

  • You Won’t Have a Harvest Without Sowing

    I see this every day online. People struggling to get a client. Struggling to make money. I have been there before. Aiming to reach a monthly income, ready for the harvest — and then coming up empty. No income. No clients. Just crickets. I thought I had good product. But in reality, I was more focused on what I would get out than what I gave. I didn’t actually sow any seeds. I was preparing for the harvest— only to wonder why it never came. That was a hard lesson. I still remember how…
