#80: Ask Amy

It's time for another edition of Ask Amy! Every now and then, no matter how good your business system is, you reach a moment where everything kind of splinters. I'm having one of those moments this week, trying to reassemble my podcasting setup after moving it into a bigger home studio. While I'm glad to have this bigger space devoted to my podcast, I don't have the acoustics worked out yet--which means I'm a little bit stalled in terms of production. Little issues like this can really bother me, if I let them! I'm sure you've experienced this, too. Think with me about an area in your business where you feel stuck because something else has to happen before you move forward. Maybe something’s not working properly and you have to figure it out first. Or maybe you’re just not comfortable moving forward and you’re not sure why. All of today's questions deal with different things, but they all center around this core issue of obstacles holding back the progress of our business. Let's take a look! Question #1: How early do you contact affiliates if you want them to work with you to promote your course? Question #2: Remembering back to the first product you created, what would you tell us now that you wish you would have done differently back then? Question #3: What do you do when you see another site steal your content and sell it? Question #4: As an entrepreneur, how do you stay focused on what is at hand and not get distracted with wanting to start new projects, create new things, try a new form of social media? How do you stay focused? Final Thoughts A lot of times, those feelings of being held back or stuck are rooted in bigger fears or a lack of confidence we have in our business or message. The truth is that a lot of the time, if I go ahead and move forward anyway, I'll mess it up once, figure out what went wrong, and now know what to do. I'll also have overcome the fear of failure because guess what? I failed and it didn't ruin my life! I would rather be making those little mistakes along the way but still be moving forward. When you get the confidence to not really care about those little mistakes, you will usually fix them, keep moving forward and BOOM--you are way ahead of yourself, way more than you thought you would be!
