Transcription: I recently asked some of you, “What are you struggling with when it comes to getting things done?” And it sounds like what some of you are struggling with is analysis paralysis. So, let's talk about analysis paralysis. What is Analysis Paralysis? Nowadays, because there's so much information available on Google, books, and courses, on YouTube, and anywhere else you might potentially go. It becomes so easy to consume, and amass, and accumulate the information without actually doing anything with it. Now there are a few different variations on analysis paralysis, but that's usually the main one. “We've got a bunch of options. We don't know which to pick and we don't know what to do with them. And when we do finally choose them, we're not really sure how to execute them.” So, it becomes this cycle of analyzing and trying to figure out what to do, but because you're trying to get it right, you get stuck in paralysis. Why Does Analysis Paralysis Happen? Basically, for the reason I just mentioned, you're trying to get it right. In other words, you're trying to be perfect. You're trying to get it perfect, one way or another. So, getting stuck in perfectionism. This is a common trap for creatives. Analysis paralysis is really just some other form of the same thing. Perfectionism is a common trap for creatives.Click To Tweet So, we need to look at how we can overcome that practically, so the future actually sees us producing and creating things rather than sitting on ideas or having thoughts of creating something that never ends up being created. We want to make sure that your output gets out into the world and seen and heard. Even if it's just a little bit. Hopefully, it gets seen by a lot of people. That is always the most desirable thing, but unfortunately, I don't think history is on the side of people… like not right now, maybe in the past… but I don't think history is on the side of the people who aren't prolific, who aren't constantly creating, constantly publishing, and shipping and putting new things out there. History is not on the side of those who aren't prolific producers.Click To Tweet But you might be scared to do that. And that's where analysis paralysis comes in. So, let's talk about solutions. And I think all of these are worthwhile solutions. It's just that you may not immediately feel like trying some of them, which is why I wanted to present more than just one. Publishing Under a Pseudonym The first solution is publishing under a pseudonym. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sajtW533Fz0

Would you be willing to do anything it takes to get there? Or would you pan the opportunity if it didn’t fit into your idea of growth? In this episode of Creativity Excitement Emotion, Amos recaps the Catapult opportunity, shares the trajectory of his journey, what he’s been able to help his students accomplish, the value of living a purposed-based life, and more. What Challenges Did Amos Experience on the Way to Building His Facebook Group? Amos recounts how one day he was sitting at Good Kid Coffee in Abbotsford, BC, calling up David to share his new business idea with him. Amos didn’t have a coach. He didn’t have anyone guiding him. He had no idea what the results of his efforts were going to be. But he got started anyway, believing it was his purpose to create a movement with his Facebook group. 15 and a half months later, he hit over 10,000 members. Amos was excited about getting started with this project, but he was also scared. At the time, he had no idea that he would end up teaching others how to build their Facebook groups. There were times when he wanted to give up. He had no idea how he was going to monetize his group. On day 80 of building his group, the right idea finally showed up. In month four, Amos managed to earn $4,000 USD, and in month five, he exceeded $30,000 USD in revenue. Despite the challenges and difficulties faced, Amos knew deep down that if he waited any longer, 2023 would end up being another disappointing year. So, he leaped and stuck with the process. Today, his Catapult cohorts are the beneficiaries of the mistakes he’s made and the lessons he’s learned. Half of his students are doing well. The other half are doing amazingly. While Amos provides the structure and framework for his students to succeed, his students also bring amazing ideas to the table that make it work even better. Some of his students are now doing in two months what took Amos nine months to accomplish. Amos asks – is now the time to make a change in your life? Are you tired of the way you’ve been living? What do you want to accomplish in 2024, and if you have another year ahead of you, 2025? If there is a vision or a purpose your heart can’t shake, now might be the time to jump in. It may not be easy, and it certainly won’t be free, but if you’re ready to go all-in on your dream, Catapult is right for you. A Numbers Game? David acknowledges that many numbers have been discussed to this point in considering Catapult. So, he asks for Amos’ opinion on whether growing a community is just a numbers game. Amos answers by sharing that while some grow faster than others, the Catapult program is ultimately geared toward those who are looking to make an impact. But the opportunity to earn an independent income is real. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4oCUmPLuBE
