Are You A Doer?

"If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything," - John Wooden

A friend's post on facebook the other day read, "Where did June go? I'm still planning Memorial Day."

Seriously, where is the summer going? It’s been almost a month since my kids got out of school...I panicked when my blog stats said it's been 30 days since my last post...uugghh...

I've been working diligently behind the scenes to make changes to Primo Activewear/Find Your Primo...get Primodonna finished up...the website overhauled...girly shirts designed. I chose the above quotes because they are so relatable to me and Primo…the way we both jump in with 2 feet and face things head on!!!  We are both doers, but no doubt making mistakes.   Lately though I’ve been struggling with following my heart/gut and just jumping in VS. analyzing, thinking things through and making a proper business decision.  What I find, is with the later,  I become paralyzed and don’t accomplish anything.  Is following my heart and jumping in always the right decision?...NO, do I make mistakes?...YES...but hey, no one can accuse me of not being a doer...until now.

I just can’t decide if Primodonna is ready for press or if I need to make some changes...I also can’t decide if I want to post both versions and let you all decide for me.  A vote sounds good in theory ,but in my experience too much feedback gets you no where..  I hate when I can’t decide and I’m certain everyone around me hates when I can’t decide!!  It’s all I can talk about as if the more I talk the answer will just come to me.  I'm at a stand still...and standing still makes me antsy!!

  • So what kind of person are you?
  • Do you jump in with 2 feet? Are you a doer?
  • Do you analyze and scrutinize over big decision? What about the small ones?
  • Does the fear of 'looking bad' or failure keep you paralyzed?
  • Have you started something but haven’t finished it?
  • Is there something you really want to do or accomplish but haven't yet out of fear? What are you going to do about it? What are you waiting for?
  • What's the worst that can happen? Is it worth the risk?
  • How will you feel if you never get it accomplished?

Self Doubt... debilitating

            Nay Sayers…. I could knock ‘em out

Remember the Who is Primo story? Primo does struggle with these things but if he believes it he will achieve it…he will persevere and defeat!

What great accomplishments are waiting on you???  Hurry up…June is almost over!!
