Day 9 of the 14-Day Challenge
The research on SiteBuildIt! continues to take longer than I hoped, but with each step on the process, I find more useful data that I otherwise would have overlooked.
I am getting antsy, though. Only five days remain before I have to have by ebook up and ready to sell.
I'm also experiencing more and more self-doubts. Did I really pick the right project? Can I really compete in such a competitive niche, filled with savvy competitors?
Without the challenge spurring me on, I might otherwise have returned this project to my large scrap heap of not-quite-finished projects.
The whole point, though, of this challenge is to get something finished. Whether it turns out to be the absolute best choice I could possibly have made or not is irrelevant. If it's not the best choice, I'll still learn valuable lessons from the experience.
And this choice doesn't lock me forever into never doing any other project. Granted, this project will not be done when the 14 days end. The marketing of it will be ongoing.
Even as I work on that ongoing marketing, though, I will still have the opportunity to pursue other, related projects. And I'll pursue them with the added knowledge and experience I have gained from this one.
No matter how much the old self-doubts attack me, THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE to taking action.
