I was speaking with someone yesterday who reminded me of a trap that a lot of people fall into, myself included..I call it the perpetual student trap.. We all like to learn how to do something properly, of course that is right and proper. Learning something in order to fulfil an objective is even better. For example, learning how to build a website is a good skill.. Learning how to build a website as an affiliate marketer is a very good skill.. The objective of the learning is to carry out the plan, and put your new skills to work. Too many 'students' decide to go back an learn just a little bit more, just in case they may need something extra.. It's like learning to build a bridge over a river.. You learn the skills, buy the materials, get the equipment all ready.. move it to the banks of the river and then.. You stop.. "Oh if I'd known it was that kind of water..." "I think I'd better go and learn just another method of building a bridge, just in case.." And there the cycle starts.. and it's a vicious circle.. You need to break the cycle.. take some action.. You may only need to cross the river once.. so who cares if the bridge isn't going to stand there for 100 years! If you can't build it after trying, you'll have learnt more lessons from actually doing, than you will in a lifetime in "the classroom" Action takers are money makers!
