What is 'clogging' and how do I stop doing it?

‘Clogging’ is putting things in your own way—mental hurdles that prevent you from launching or taking action. Examples: ‘I don’t know how to price my work,’ ‘I don’t know what niche to pick,’ ‘I do paintings and photography, which should I focus on?’ The answer is simple: it doesn’t matter—just launch. Price it and launch. Pick something and launch. You’ll learn as you go. Waiting for perfection or the ‘right’ answer is clogging. The artists who succeed are the ones who start, stay consistent, and iterate. Stop getting in your own way.
