Do you fear new projects or do you just blindly jump into them?

Boy did I ever jump into one this week.
I have been Mystery shopping for over 5 years now. When anyone learns what I do I am bombarded with questions about mystery shopping. So, I decided that I wanted to publish some information on the subject. After much thought, I finally decided that a web page might be a good way to go.
Now I know absoultely nothing, nada about making a web page. But I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. So, I went to Yahoo and got a sight http:www.mysteryshoppingknowhow.com .
What an experience!!! I downloaded their site builder and got started. That was four days and many revisions ago. But, I finally got it published. Yes,the pages are very amateurish but, I did it. Sounds silly but, I am just as proud as a new parent. Do you fear new projects and how do you tackle these fears?

I do not jump blindly into new projects. I am always careful to make sure I do not end up into endless pits. It is no joke once you embarked on a project and then realise you cannot commit yourself to it. So, for new projects, I will do research on it unless it has been proven not to fail, or there is a personal guarantor for the project.

A very wise answer whyaskq. I am just a very impetuous person.

Nah, I don't fear big project. But if it is not of interest to me, I will find excuses to procrastinate. After all, without passion, how can there be energy to drive the project? :P

good for you hon, Do you enjoy mystery shopping does it pay you? I decided to do it at one point, but I was never getting any places to go to and by the time they finally started to send to me, I got to sick to be running around the city like that.
I seem to be hesitant about new projects unless I am absolutely sure I can do them.
