I got an email from a client the other day. They had hit a wall and needed help. They didn’t know what to do next. They found themselves sitting at the computer, staring at the screen, not knowing the next step, frustrated.
Every business, every website is a journey.
It’s not something that you create and then put on the shelf, waiting for the money to roll in.
What do you do when you hit the wall? We could talk about productivity and organization. I hate those words. I just want to know what to do next.
It’s time to take a deep breathe. Site back. Relax. Talk to someone. The goal is to get a plan and figure out what the next step is.
I like to make a list and prioritize it. I like to talk to my wife. Sometimes, just explaining something helps you figure out the next step. My wife is good at nodding and smiling when I explain technical stuff. Just the act of putting it into words helps me gain perspective. “Glad I could help” she says, as she wonders what that was all about.
Sometimes, you just don’t know the next thing to do, the next step to take.
If you’re at a complete loss, then just take some step, any step. If you start to move forward, you’ll soon figure out if it’s the right direction or not. If you get frustrated and stop, you will fail. If you take the wrong step, at least you know it’s the wrong step.
Just take a step, any step, and you’ll be fine.
PS – This photo was taken at dawn, as the sun peeked over the mountains behind me. This road goes to a point, overlooking Palm Springs and the entire lower desert area of Southern California. A couple hundred yards form this location, you can literally see for 100 miles. It doesn’t look like much here, but just around the corner…
