Motivational Monday: Stop Overthinking—The Secret to Progress


Progress Isn’t Perfect

You sit down to work on your side hustle, and suddenly, the doubts creep in: Is this idea good enough? What if it doesn’t work? Maybe I need to plan more.

Sound familiar?

This week, I want you to think about this quote from Theodore Roosevelt:

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”

Solo entrepreneurs and side hustlers often get stuck in analysis paralysis—thinking the perfect plan is the key to success. But the truth? Action is always better than inaction.

Every wrong step teaches you something. Every small win builds momentum. But standing still? That guarantees you’ll stay right where you are

This Week’s Actionable Tip:

Pick one decision you’ve been overthinking—whether it’s launching that new offer, posting that video, or reaching out to a potential client—and take action on it today. Imperfect action beats perfect procrastination every time.

You’ve Got This:

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep moving forward. Let’s make this week count!

Warm regards,

Mark Mason

PS: Fear of failure often stops us in our tracks, but here’s the truth: failure is just data. It’s feedback that helps you learn, grow, and move forward with more clarity. Every successful entrepreneur you admire has a long list of failures that led to their breakthroughs. Don’t let fear keep you from discovering what’s possible. Take the first step today—you’ll thank yourself later!

Please Read My Affiliate Disclaimer:

I believe in affiliate marketing because it gives me a way to help people profitably. From time to time, I will promote, endorse, or suggest products and/or services for sale that are not my products. I'm pretty picky and my recommendation is always based on my personal belief that the product will provide excellent value to you and your business. In most cases, I will be compensated via a commission or gift when you decide to purchase that product based on my recommendation. In some cases, I might receive the product for free for review purposes, or just to use. In many cases, I promote products that I actually use in my business (like ConvertKit, the service that sent you this email). That ConvertKit link is an affiliate link. If you sign up for ConvertKit using that link, I get a commission. Make sense?​

Here's a really important thing:

Please don't interpret anything in this email as some sort of promise or guarantee of your future earnings. My results are not typical. We've been at this for more than a decade. You could say I am an expert when it comes to online business. This means I have an advantage over most people. I can tell you this -- success takes hard work. Nothing in life or business comes easy or with any guarantees.

By following my recommendations you always agree to do your OWN due diligence before making any purchases, whether we recommend them or not. Never, EVER purchase anything that you cannot afford. Avoid purchasing products that do not have a clearly stated Guarantee, or that promises quick or ridiculous results. And always wear your seatbelt. And take your vitamins.

Why Am I Getting These Emails?

You are receiving this newsletter because you are a customer or you submitted your email address on one of my websites (probably in exchange for free information). My goal with these newsletters is to continue to delight and help you, and I hope you are happy to hear from me.

I hope this never happens, but the day might come when it's time to part ways. If you're ever ready to say goodbye forever, just click the permanent unsubscribe link below. No hard feelings, we'll still be best friends from afar. But be warned, once you click that link, there's no turning back. It's like breaking up with a significant other, it's for good. So think carefully before you click that link, because once you do, our relationship will be changed irreversibly. The choice is yours! You've been warned.
