Sometimes it really bugs me. It is 2:22am and I find myself in frenzy of creative thinking, brainstorming and analysing all at the same time. Like some sort of whirling inferno of brain activity which is a torrent of creativeness and debilitating at the same time. And in search of that idea which leads to an increasing bank account I always come back to one finite undeniable truth. It all comes down to the most powerful and yet intangible resource. That is, information of course. Every time I sit here trying to take my thoughts and desires to the most basic level in order to rebuild them and find a yellow brick road I always end up at this one critical truth. Information is the most powerful resource we have. I know deep down, that all I would need is a murmur of a few words from the future. A subtle word or two could be so valuable as to fill my pockets with gold. All I need is that one scrap of information about a niche, a product or a new developing market and i'd be set for life. It actually makes me burn inside to think that there is information out there right now I could almost grasp. A single word of this information could set me on the path to a money-no-object lifestyle. Just one little tiny bit of information could be the difference between rich and poor. And now I am back to square one again, searching and hoping to discover something in my research which can make me a millionaire. The generation of wealth begins with finding the right information to make your move. ------------- (Don't ask me the point of this post, it is just my thoughts)
I know exactly what you mean as I to feel like I'm a fraction or two away from the info that will solidify my future, and it's at this point; that I usually step back from the madness and see the answer right there waiting for me, just too close at times to be objective.
I'm looking and asking the question all the time "What do they know that I don't? What are they doing that i'm not?" You know what it feels like? Like when lose your car keys and you can't remember where they are, or when you can't remember someone's name. Exactly like that. You look up in the air and it feels like you're closing the gap on some sort of void in your head, but it is pushing back and it begins to frustrate.
Ok, today I create a folder on my desktop, label it ideas and create word files detailing each idea I have. Then, when ready I will pick from my ideas folder and process the proposal for execution!
Just make sure to execute. Ideas are a dime a dozen without execution. Ray Kroc created a multi-billion dollar company (McDonald's) by simply creating a system to sell burgers.
My current position annoys me. Even though i've got some moeny, I don't need to work 9-5 anymore and things offline are looking very pretty. I STILL don't have that affiliate site I dream of which is cranking out sales every day and bringing in thousands each month.
Everyone who work in this business has experienced your feeling, everyone because we all start from ZERO, and we grow with experiences. Don't give up
Nice post OP. I know what you mean. It's like a splinter in the mind. Standing on the verge. Sometimes its one simple idea added to what you're already doing that multiplies our efforts.
