⏺ The zombie mentality! You need to have it. Part 2
Without action, the best intensions in the world are nothing more than that: Intensions - Jordan Belfort
Well said, Jordan. Although the wrong intensions, it clearly worked in 'The Wolf of Wallstreet'.
This is Part 2 of my 'Zombie Mentality' post-series. If you haven't already, I encourage you to go checkout Part 1. It is linked at the bottom of this post. If you have already gone through it, then let's carry on!
What's really holding you back? There is usually some sort of psychological wall or barrier that you need to overcome. For me, it's simply belief in myself. When I start to think instead of the long journey ahead, but rather the small steps I can start taking now, I gain confidence in my own abilities.
Analyze yourself. You need to know these things about your personality, otherwise things will simply run in circles for your progress. In order to know how to move forward, you need to identify what is stopping you.
Brains before no brains? Zane, what on earth are you saying? Here's what I'm saying..
Before you know yourself, you need to give yourself some thought. The first mission is to identify what it is that you are after (Like brains for a zombie). Once you have done this, and you have a clear, distinct vision of what it is you want to obtain, then it's time for the next step. This next step is when you turn green. You go zombie-mode.
For me, I will be Zombie Zane! (The handsome, green young lad in the thumbnail of this post!).
You need to put aside your brain, and put in the work.
Do not confuse these steps though! I do not encourage you to turn your brain off until you know exactly what you need to do. Before then you will just be labeled a moron.
I like that.. I think I have a new quote:
Brains before no brains - Zane Bradshaw

Your graphic designer is killing it! Amazing work you two are doing. I think nobody has better looking posts than you here on steemit. I mean it!
I appreciate that brother. I really do :)
What's the saying? Turn everything you touch into gold :) Just borrowing some wisdom somebody once told me (Don't know who :D).
Gotta do what you gotta do hey!
Talk soon.
I feel like I have the opposite problem. I have overconfidence in my abilities - I map things out (to excess) but by the time it comes down to putting the pedal to the metal, I lose a bit of motivation, or I get overwhelmed in the middle of a project and abandon it for greener pastures (to my detriment, of course.)
I definitely do go "zombie mode" sometimes, and I can feel it when I do. Coming out of a serious work session I feel drained, fatigued, and brain dead like I've just worked out heavily (without the sweat).
Depending on what it is that you need to accomplish, and what you have mapped out, it can also be good to outsource the problems to someone who is more competent and can get the job quicker. Throwing $20 someone's way is often better than banging your head against the wall all day or having to power through a tedious task that you hate.
Nice insight bro. Thanks for your opinion.
Agreed :) I am so used to doing everything myself, but usually the small tasks are the most time, and effort draining. That's why I am starting to look for freelancers to do my unnecessary tasks for me, so I can spend more focus on what really needs my dedicated attention.
Nice comment. You got my vote!
Talk soon!
Haha, the moment I started enjoying this one, it ended. But you made your point so that's fine. You're right! Nobody has the power to hold us back. Nobody but us. We hold ourselves back from doing what we want to do.
A question: Steem cleaners prompted the other day on one of my posts to be careful about the tags. They said I could not use Steemit unless the content was purely about the domain itself. I do realize there's no comparison in my profile and yours :D I think the trend is made and set by people like you having big audience just so the trend remains there? Just clarifying and trying to learn.
Great content as always, buddy.
Hahaha sorry it had to end man.. Can't keep going forever though :P
Uhmmmm.. Well, I think it's a bit of everything you just mentioned. Some reputation maybe, mixed with some relevance. Talking about cars and mentioning the tag steemit will be understandable to be off-topic, but I can somewhat still relate the contents of this post to Steemit. I mean, I do mean having the Zombie Mentality on Steemit :)
Talk soon man.
Lol, yes it had to. Maybe I'm just used to of reading longer posts. Yours are just perfect too :)
It makes sense now. Thanks for explaining it to me. Maybe I can build my reputation to a level someday that my reasoning to mark a trend/tag is understood by the community too, haha. I did understand yours btw :)
Hey dude... keep this up!!! , i appreciate What you are doing and i agree on many aspects of your Zombie Posts \m/ keep kicking
Thank you for that my dude! Appreciated :)
How's the track coming along on that station? Talk soon.
Мне нравится как ты пишешь ! Удивительно ! Всегда приятно читать ! Вдохновляюсь
Спасибо! Я рад, что вам нравятся мои сообщения!
Поговорите скоро.
Hahaha I wasn't referring to that zombie mentality xD
Creative though! Talk soon.
Thanks for the awesome post. I wish i could be as consistent as you are.
Only a pleasure :) I am glad you enjoy my content!
You can achieve anything you set your mind to :) Go for it! Talk soon.
Should I first know my capabilities too? Because if I ever wanted something that is too much or something that is out of my league then it might cause so much pain if I fail. Thanks much, you might want to check my recent special post HERE
No ways man! Don't be afraid. Go for your goals, and hold nothing back! The only real, guaranteed way to fail, is to not even bother trying.
Go post that link in my latest Post Promotion Thread. Talk soon!
Yeah, regrets might be more painful than failure.
For me it was mt Ex who was Holding me Back for Years and even now she Desperately tries to Cause me Problems, But I don't care it took me 2 Years but yes I am over Her now.
Bye Bye........
Killer man.. Good that you have moved on!
Stay awesome! Talk soon.
Another great piece of thought and motivation to move forward @enazwahsdarb
