Imagine a scenario where you could effortlessly transition from one task to another without the stress of the "in-between" moments. For instance, it's 4:00 in the afternoon, and you suddenly realize that dinner time is fast approaching, but you haven't prepared anything for the family. The "in-between" moments here involve the effort to get dressed, drive to the store, purchase the ingredients, queue to pay, drive back home, unload the groceries, and finally prepare the meal. Wouldn't it be fantastic if we could bypass these steps with a simple snap of our fingers? Unfortunately, this concept, while appealing, is far from realistic unless you possess magical powers.
Often, our fears, lack of energy, and motivation become obstacles in our "in-between" moments. These hurdles prevent us from achieving our goals and fulfilling our desires because we are overwhelmed by the process of transitioning from one point to another. Despite having good intentions, great ideas, and big dreams, we find ourselves stuck in the "in-between."
In the business world, this phenomenon is particularly prevalent. The rapid advancement of technology and the ever-evolving landscape of the internet can make the "in-between" moments daunting and confusing.
Three years ago, I found myself in an "in-between" moment when I was learning how to use my computer. The idea of being online, starting a business, and making money was unfathomable to me. However, three years later, my perspective on the "in-between" has drastically changed. Although it can still be intimidating and I still make mistakes, I have gained a newfound confidence and energy.
I've learned that it's okay to ask questions, no matter how silly they may seem. I've discovered that there are many helpful individuals in the digital world who are willing to assist you on your journey. Eventually, everything starts to make sense.
If you're just starting to explore the online world, launching a new business, joining a new program, creating a new website, or even starting your own newsletter, don't fear the "in-between." Stay focused, don't get discouraged, have faith in yourself, and ask plenty of questions. You'll soon find that the dreaded "in-between" will take care of itself.
