Got "Brain Freeze"?

Today's post is brought to you courtesy of Paul Myers, a witty and very knowledgeable Internet marketer who's been at this game a long time.

The subject of Paul's comments are in reference to a circumstance that periodically affects many Internet marketers and entrepreneurs. It's the time when it seems all of your fresh ideas dry up, and your brain just can't seem to create any productive thoughts.

The following is what Paul suggests in order to break through the mental logjam. I thought it quite refreshing and insightful. We encourage you to visit his site at TalkBizNews.com. Enjoy.

***************************************************

Pick a totally absurd goal. Not necessarily something work-related, although it could be. What matters is that it's outrageous. Impossible, even.

But pretend it isn't. Just for fun, assume it can be done, if you just figure out how. Nibble at it. Come up with little ways you can move toward it. Then think of outrageous things that can make those moves bigger. Don't worry if they're sensible.

Screw that. Sensible people never achieve anything worth living a whole life for, man. Get CRAZY!

What if...?

And then... ?

Would they... ?

How could I... ?

Imagine small steps, and then think of ways you can make them giant leaps.

Don't sell any idea short. It took us hundreds of thousands of years to get to where we were in the 60's. It took less than 10 years to go from there to the moon. Because one man challenged us to believe it could happen and dream of "How?"

And we accepted the challenge.

That's all it takes. Accept the challenge. Get crazy.

All great people are crazy. They have to be to believe they can make a difference. That they can change the course of the lives of billions of humans, in places they've never been and in countries they've never seen.

But they do.

It's not always loud, and they don't always free entire peoples, but they change the world. Because they pretend, just for a moment, that what they know is impossible might not be.

And they find out that it's not.

In the word of John Lennon: "Imagine."

Big... Life is full of small details that distract us. That consume our lives if we let them. But it's the Big Dreams that get us out of our ruts and make us live lives that matter.

That make us great.

You've seen how it works. You've seen a guy that asked for help with a business idea get a plan to change the lives of battered women and abused children across the world, using off the shelf software and the good will of strangers.

The question is, will he accept the challenge?

What challenge will you accept for yourself?

What challenge is worthy of your life?

Get crazy. It's the only sane answer.
