Are you constantly consuming knowledge from videos and self help books? Enjoy the feeling of learning. We delude ourselves thinking this is what we need to make things happen. A better method, a new mindset. How's that working out for you? I was here, spending hours watching videos, reading books, taking courses. It was exciting. There was always a new course to learn, a new self help book. But the truth? I was in denial. I was afraid of taking action. I had to do things I hadn't done before. It was overwhelming. And not to mention the fear of failure. The reality is, you won't be going anywhere if you continue. You've consumed enough. You need to pick one thing to work on. And if you struggle to do this by yourself, find someone to help you and to provide accountability.
