Another great idea DWolfe.
After reading a few books about successful people (the Millionaires series is one I'm reading at the moment), I found a common trait is that they sat down and worked out what they wanted (their goals), then stuck their goals in highly visible places so they were reminded of where they want/need to get to.
I realise this doesn't help the analysis paralysis situation when it comes down to looking at deals but once combined with the other great ideas through this post, it all adds.

Persistence is 'to keep on keeping on, no matter how hard the going may be'
When you decide you are going to do something and you remind yourself each day (eg with goal written on fridge), it eventually becomes your normal. Then you simply go into autopilot and go through the motions till it is done. But it is not a question of "hopefully i will do this one day". You've decided you're doing it, and that's that. You then become a bulldozer storming dead ahead with very deliberate intent towards your goal. When it's done it is not as exciting as you think it would have been largely because you had mentally visualized achieving it. So when you achieve it for real, it's almost like it is a replay of the real event (which in fact only ever occurred in your mind).

Thank you everyone so much for your thoughts and advice. It never ceases to amaze me how much information and guidance people offer on this site!
Goals are now outlined & broken into bite sized chunks, proudly displayed on the fridge! No more AP for me!
merry Christmas to everyone and thanks again!

Hi Michelle
I believe that with any deal you do you should always measure twice cut once, in other words move carefully. What's worse than what you are doing, be like most investors and buy the first piece of crap that's put to you. Because many investors do little or no due diligence. One bad investment may mean your first investment may be your last.
If you know how to do the due diligence that will give you the confidence to move ahead.

Yay! Officially broken through the dreaded analysis paralysis and purchased IP number 4 today!!
Thanks to everyone's help whipping me out of the ongoing analysis cycle. As suggested we revisited our goals, put them front and centre for us to see everyday & are back on our track again.
Have a great week!!
