Are You Living In A World Of What If?Posted by Bonnie Holscher on December 23rd, 2009

There is an age old syndrome call “What If” that people seem to get caught up in that cripples them in the quest for success.   This obstacle can stifle the strongest and best of the best if they find themselves asked that question. 

In so many cases when an opportunity arises people begin to question the outcome by saying what if.  When this happens, it causes a hesitation in either the decision making or the forward movement.  What if the project isn’t stable?  What if people don’t buy? What if my partner cheats me or takes advantage of me?  What if they don’t like me?  What if I don’t make any money?  What if, What if, What if?  The problem is that you can what if yourself right into a corner or out of a deal or opportunity that could take you right down the road of success.

Without taking risk, you will not open doors to step through and will find yourself look at walls or out of windows while other people are creating a lifestyle that they choose to live.  I just recently had to face that dilema but learned some very important lessons on the way.  I also created a logo and built a great website for someone else for the first time and gained loads of confidence even though my so called partner refused to pay me for my work.  She says we had a deal however all the email indicated that the so called agreement was never produced with any specifics in hardcopy and signed.  Even though I had a feeling things were not on the up and up and saw some not so  great patterns emerging, I continued to move forward with the expectation the the project was a great one and worth pursueing at the time.  Unfortunately, this woman was not one of her word and integrity and I ended up leaving the project without any compensation for my contributions.

The great thing is that I learn more about doing business with written agreements in place prior to the launch and engagement of your time and talents.  Because some people are not as honorable as you may be and without documentation or a paper trail they could say just about anything.

So when faced with a new opportunity or project, it is good to check out the specifics but don’t stifle yourself by adding the “What if” syndrome to the mix.  Sometimes it is an advantage to get your feet wet a little especially when building an online business before making a final decision on whether that opportunity or project is right for you.  And some people do not show their true selves till you are around them more.  There are enough road blocks in life that can slow you down or change your path with adding that age old “What If”
