How To Focus On One Project When Your Brain is Cranking Out Ideas Like a Jack Rabbit on Speed
Judging from all the public and private feedback I received after posting My Brain is a Non-Stop Workaholic I’ve realized that I’m not the only writer on earth who has a problem with idea overload.
There seems to be a silently suffering group of us.
I say ’suffering’ because even though it’s fantastic to be an idea person, this ability can also slow you down.
When your brain is constantly bubbling new business ideas, you have an extremely hard time focusing on the task at hand.
This idea looks hot… and this one will DEFINITELY pull in a quick million… and THIS one will have customers beating down my door… oh but wait, I should try this one because…
Your brain is constantly calculating the project and profit possibilities.
And if you give in to that constant inner dialogue, you’ll find yourself starting 50 different projects – and completing none.
Can I get an “Amen”?
I’ve coined a special name for these types of people. New Project Addicts.
Hi, my name is Alexis and I’m a New Project Addict.
Oh yes. Me. A New Project Addict to the 10th degree.
I love starting new projects. It’s a rush. I always feel like, “Whooo, I’m getting closer to that million dollar year!” But it was this rush that held me in a little tiny box for many years.
I just couldn’t focus all of my energy on the bullseye long enough to hit the damn thing. It was like knowing the winning lottery numbers, and not having the strength to go to the store and play them.
It was only in the past couple of years that I finally figured out a plan that worked for me.
I’ve been using that plan religiously. Religiously! And the difference is like night and day.
My income quickly reached the six figure range ($100K+). I still have time to spend with my family. And I’m no longer working until 2-3am every night.
I’m still generating ideas galore. I still get the same insane headrush whenever I start a new project.
But I’m processing my ideas much differently. And that’s how I’m able to keep my New Project Addiction under control.
Anyway, I promised that I would publish a free report for those of you who suffer with the same syndrome that I do. And I did.
First go check out my latest blog at New Project Addict.
Then pick up a copy of The Focus Plan.
(Just so you’ll know, you may freely redistribute The Focus Plan to your customers, subscribers, and site visitors.)
Focus your mind and grow rich,
Alexis Dawes
