Why Sometimes You Just Need To Initiate

Okay, so I’m going to talk about something that I know about, but I really suck at. But then why am I blogging about it? Well, because I know about it. It’s just that I don’t know how to do it well… Sort of like you know you should manage your time better, but you never really do as you hoped for.

My Experience

Anyways, today I’m going to talk about why sometimes you just need to splash the cash and just go. Recently, I’ve been working on getting my MP3 player news site and a soccer website (aside from SoccerFansTalk) up. Actually, I’ve been planning the sites for quite some time now, but being someone who likes to go forward with a very clear plan, the two sites are still somewhat non-existant. Ironically thankfully, I grew tired of this and decided to just hit the start button on both websites. Strangely, I’m feeling more and more confident and proud of the website that is coming near completion. I’ll update you guys (and this post) further on when the two sites actually launch in the first half of this year.

Anyways, what I’m trying to get here is that sometimes, you just need to give something a good kick to make it start going. One of the biggest mistakes that you can do is not doing it at all. Even if something may have the potential to fail, if it has that potential to fail, it also has some potential to suceed. By just leaving it idle and playing with a plan, you’ll often get nowhere. Even if your plan is fantastic, no one looks at plans anyways and thus, you’re starting out from the bottom again. You might as well kick start it right now and experience the potential rather than calculating and staring at the potential, which often is false.

Why just go?

In my opinion, if something is not working, it was just a bad idea with no potential from the beginning, or you’re taking a wrong approach to it. If you’ve been on the web making websites for a while, most likely the problem is the latter. So, instead of wasting your time planning or procrastinating, let me tell you some reasons why you should just kick start it to see what happens.

1. Your just wasting your domain name and, technically, the days that you rented it for.
2. You’re going to  have to start it sooner or later anyways.
3. I’ve found it a lot easier to dedicate myself to a project once it is physically (although I guess websites aren’t physical things in the first place) in the WIP mode.

Conclusion

I know that this post is quite short compared to the ones I write usually, excluding the daily updates regarding my life. Anyways, I just wanted to get it out there for all of you. I know some people who just start too many that they abandon them as fast as they start them. However, those who take it the long way of writing out a plan and taking it step by step, why not try something different this time? Why not just ditch the “business plan” and just go?

Note: Don’t be stupid and throw $2000 into a meaningless project.
