Many find themselves ensnared in what I term the "raging negative analysis paralysis."
Consider this scenario: Imagine having a treasure chest holding a million dollars of gold behind a door that must be opened within one minute. You're handed a keychain with 30 keys, with only ONE opening the door. How swiftly would you seize the keys and commence testing until you find the correct one?
More importantly, ponder your behavior in this situation. You'd be rapidly grabbing keys, discarding the ones that didn't work without wasting a moment. There'd be no pause to wish a particular key would miraculously unlock the door.
Regrettably, this mirrors the trap many people find themselves in: Blaming the lack of time, citing the unfeasibility of the 9 am to 5 pm schedule (yet perhaps 6 pm to 9 pm would work). Blaming financial commitments like bills and groceries (overlooking discretionary spending on Netflix and dining out). Citing a lack of technological expertise (while comfortably using computers, phones, and social media without reaping financial benefits).
For most, the keys are within reach. If one doesn't seem to work, the solution is as simple as trying a different one.
Reflecting on my own journey from long work hours, a mortgage, and no technical expertise to becoming an entrepreneur, the driving force was understanding the treasure awaiting on the other side. Recognizing the worth of the reward fueled my initiative to swiftly find the three correct keys needed.
When the prize is deemed worthwhile, individuals can discover a way even when it seems there is none.
