Is Information Overload Leading you to Analysis Paralysis?

Welcome to day 3 of my 30 day video challenge. What can you change with a 30 day challenge?

Is there such a thing as too much information? Ever feel overwhelmed with all the information you get? Do you search for more information just to make sure the other information is right? If you answered yes to any or all of these then congratulations… your human!

We all know that we live in the information age. By why is it that we feel the need to get more and more of it before we do anything with it? Even better than that, why do we obtain and keep information we don’t even need?

Ok so I’m a guy. I’ll be the first one to tell you I have a bunch of useless information. My kids have asked me things like, “how many feet are in a mile” and “how far apart are those white lines on the highway?” I know these answers. I can’t tell you why but I just do. But this information doesn’t help my business. I need the information that is going to get me to my goals. Not just any information. I need the right information, and then take the action to use.

In this video I share a gold nugget that transformed my information gathering process, and allowed me the freedom to take action first, seek information second. Strange concept? You tell me.

As a bonus to this post I’ve attached the Art William’s “Just Do it” video. Thinking just a little differently will lead you to your goals and dreams, if you take action first and seek information second.

Please leave a comment below and let me know if this has inspired you to think differently. If so what action steps are you taking next? If you think this could help someone else a Re-Tweet would be appreciated.

To your growing success

Ken, thanks for the great post. It’s so true, information overload can be a major obstacle to our ability to “just do it”. Love the Art Williams video, and can relate to his message in a major way.

I’ve dabbled in home business for several years, and have never achieved success. Recently I’ve become totally committed to creating success, have paid the price and a little bit more, and am working it like a business rather than a hobby. For the first time in my life I’m achieving my goals, and am truly proud of what I’m creating.

So happy to have you along on this ride!
