Stop putting pressure on yourself to do too much too soon

Gloria Steinem quote about truth
Truth, it hurts and it liberates.

 

Stop putting pressure on yourself to do too much too soon.

Sure, you promised junglejeff.com goes live tomorrow, July 4th. And this is the third deadline you have created: June 8 your birthday, and June 25 your anniversary have come and gone. Now, July 4th.

Really hoping to be blown away

Really hoping to be blown away.

Spending a lot of money and placing a ton of trust in someone i’ve never directly worked with before.

How do you feel certain the person you’ve contracted is not squandering their time, effort, and attention on your project?

You don’t.

Well, you find out when the project is done.

Same with an impossible vision.
