One thing that holds people back is that they want everything to be perfect. It is more important to get things done and then try to make it perfect later, than to not get any work out because you don't want to release it until it is just right.

One of the traits of great acheivers is that when they come up with an idea they dig right in and move ahead, worrying about the details later. I am one of those that moves ahead with things and in the beginning I often wondered if I wasn't going about things the wrong way. But the more I read about the way other people were dong things on the internet, I found out to my surprise, that plowing ahead with a project is pretty much the way to go.

I have talked to people personally that have admitted to me right up front that they had trouble getting started with projects. Many of them not only had trouble starting projects but if they did start something, they also had trouble finishing things. The way I see it, the answer to this is just to force yourself to dig in and then force yourself to finish the project, even if in your mind you want to make it better and don't feel it is finished. Set yourself a cut off date and when that date arrives you are done, again with the idea that you can improve the product later.

You know, if you really think about it life isn't perfect, and bascially nothing is perfect, so why hold back on doing anything trying to make it perfect. It probably never will be perfect anyway, so just get it done and do your best. I think that is another important concept, if you always tell yourself you are doing your best, it will take the pressure of being perfect off of you.

Another thing to keep in mind, a lot of people will get mad at themselves because they don't know something. Again keep in mind that you can't know, what you don't know, and the reason you don't know it, is because you have just not gotten that far in your learning of the subject yet. I mean you can't start out on the web for a few days and then be mad because you don't know how to design a website, it take years to learn that and you are just starting. Remember that if you keep learning every day, and put in the hard work you will eventually learn what you need to know. So my best advice is to work hard every day, keep learning, keep moving ahead, and you will make it to any goal you set for yourself. Just remember it doesn't happen overnight, for anybody.
