Mompreneur with a Little Buyers Remorse

When I first began building my website, I found resource after resource. Some helpful, some not so much. Some were free, some cost money. There were guru’s upon guru’s and I felt like I knew nothing.

I was confused, in need of support and on a tight budget.

Webinars, courses, memberships… they all looked so enticing. I couldn’t resist. I bought in. And kept buying in. Knowledge is power, right?

Sales pages would hook me every time. I jumped from this expert to that expert, filling notebook after notebook with little bits of insight on this subject and that. Some things I learned I actually put into use.

After many courses and the like, I found myself looking for the next thing. I was always trying to figure out what else I might need to know. A light bulb finally went off — I was an addict.

An addict to marketing, could it be so?

Maybe I was too afraid to make my own products. Fear of failure, fear of success, whatever. I simply wasn’t moving forward with the business I set out to create. I wasn’t looking inside myself for the uniqueness and value I could offer others.

It finally came to a head when I started to think, I could totally do better than this… or something along those lines. All those “guru’s” weren’t THAT impressive to me any longer.

I read somewhere how Microsoft started out in a garage and the initial beginning start-up was something so minor. It evolved, of course, but it didn’t start out as the Microsoft giant it is today. Reading about this caused something in me to click.

I’ve decided I’m finally going to put together my own stuff. Sell my own things that I create. It won’t be easy, I know. But, I’m convinced it will be great. With all I’ve learned, it has to be.

I know it’s inside you too. Time to let it out.

Do yourself a favor and unsubscribe from those 9,000 guru’s you’re following. Pick your favorite one or two, and start getting to work. If you haven’t already, come to a decision on the first product/service you’re going to offer.

If you don’t have all the answers, that’s okay. No one really ever does.

There’s a chance you’ll only make a few dollars from your efforts. There’s also a chance you could make several hundred or thousand. The important thing is, your momentum will have started.

And you have to start somewhere, right? Just like Microsoft did.
