Let me take a stab at figuring out what’s holding you back.
You’ve got plenty of great ideas. You start working on them, ordering what you need, planning schedules, collecting a team. Maybe you even complete your project.
Notice how I left “what’s holding you back” very vague. You might be held back from starting, held back from continuing, held back from finishing or held back from promoting what you’ve completed. To any of this, let me ask one important question.
How is your service? Or your product? Or your project?
Really tell me how it is. Is it phenomenal? Remarkable? A dream come true?
Or is it okay? Average? Decent? Acceptable?
Most of the time, what’s holding you back is that we answer with the latter. And the worst part, get stuck there. We feel the need to make it remarkable, but don’t want to put in the effort or are flat-out unsure if it’s something we can make remarkable. There’s no shame in that. A LOT of things are just okay.
When you’re in this spot, consider two things.
1) There’s a tribe out there that only want “okay.” Let them have it and go make something else remarkable.
2) You’ll likely make a lot more things that are just “okay.” And that’s okay. You have to keep going until you cross the gap.
