How to Use a 30 Day Test to Control Your Worry
If you ever find yourself being overwhelmed with all of your worries, there is help on how to deal with them. It is called the Thirty Day Test. Here is how it works. Take a sheet of lined paper and write out all the things you are worried about. It doesn't matter how big or small, write them all out on this paper.
Make a List
Once you are finished, date the letter at the top with today's date. Take the list and fold it up and insert it into an envelope. Write on the outside of the envelope these words, "Do not open for 30 days". Seal the envelope up and put it in a desk drawer that is hidden from view. Wait for thirty days then open the envelope. In the thirty days that passed, what probably has happened is most, if not all of the problems, were resolved by your actions or just the passing of time.
Statistics Don't Lie
The concept here is that typically 90% of the things you worry about never come to pass. Yet, at one point, you were very apprehensive about them and probably spent a lot of time worrying about them. The power of this stress management technique is, most of the things we worry about never happen or it they do, you discover they were not something with which you really needed to be so concerned.Far too often you end up wasting valuable time worrying about things that never amount to anything. You become paralyzed and nonproductive.
Get Back to the Present Moment
The psychology of putting your worries on paper and forgetting about them is that it is a strategy that allows you to identify your problems and then set them aside so you can get back to living productively in the present moment.

- Hi Sandy,
The great thing about online marketing is that everything can be tested and you can quickly gauge if something is working or not. Run two tests, see if people respond better to the one option or the multiple options. Your customers will tell you which method they prefer and will vote with their wallets.
Test your headlines, test your messaging, test your pricing, test your # of options - test everything!
Good luck!
