There are two mistakes that can stop you from creating your money-making products before you even begin. Don’t give in to these common mistakes. By deciding to create information products, you can multiply your time and efforts with a low investment.

These mistakes are not about the difficulty of technology when creating your information products. It can actually be quite easy to create valuable resources. The mistakes aren’t about getting your knowledge and information out of your head and into a product which can be a relatively painless process. These mistakes actually have nothing to do with the actual resource.

The two biggest forms of sabotage come from the creator of the product.

The 2 Biggest Product Creation Sabotage Mistakes

The first sabotage mistake is fear

When beginning to create products from their own knowledge and information, it’s almost like you are giving birth. It’s a piece of you, your information, gifts, talents and experiences you are compiling and organizing into a useable format.

With this process always comes fear which can manifest as the fear of imperfection. Don’t get stuck trying to make your product perfect. If you do, it will probably never come into existence. It’s better to create an imperfect resource that can help people than to never allow your it to be.

What to do instead: Create the best resource you can right now and let go of perfectionism which can paralyze you. This is one of the reasons I love digital and information products, it’s so easy to revise and update them if necessary.

The second sabotage mistake is failure to properly plan

When you create your resource, it’s important to follow a product creation timeline for completion of the various steps. If you don’t break down the entire project into bite-sized pieces and set a timeline for completion of each step, the entire task can become overwhelming. If you become overwhelmed, chances are you’ll do a little bit here and there but your product will never be completed.

What to do instead: Follow a product creation timeline. Break your project into the necessary chunks and stick to your timeline deadlines and you’ll have your product created in no time.
