Are you in the habit of putting things off? Do you always have a good reason to get to it LATTER?
Procrastination is the Killer of potential giants in this industry, people that are experienced no success, and a little success and great deal of success have this demon holding them from achieving OUTSTANDING success in their business.
So how do we stay focused? Gain the energy we seem to be lacking today? Keep our business fresh and exciting? Remain confident in our business choice? Yes all of these are reasons we slip into a state of PROCRASTINATION! So lets lay out a game plan to take this killer out of our lives completely:0)
Procrastination finds us in several ways; I plan on covering the top 6 reasons and how to prevent them from entering your habitual life.
1. You become bored: Entrepreneurs are famous for this. Once the new product is launched, the business gets started, or the new whatever is completed they get BORED! Your first step is to recognize that you are bored and why it is happening. Start asking yourself questions that will assist in overcoming this killer. Is it time for a change? Is my health a factor? What would give me more energy? Also challenge yourself, look for growth opportunities for your business, find the diamond in the rough, and face new challenges head on and with a winners mind set. You need to sell more products or find new reps. so figure out new ways to make this happen, be creative.
2. You become overwhelmed: Our industry is always evolving and changing, and with this growth we also adapt and change. So often we start a project and along comes the latest and greatest software you have been dreaming of having, so project one goes on the back burner. Sound familiar? We have 10 different projects happening at once and none of them ever see completion, and all of a sudden you feel overwhelmed. When you start a task always see it to completion before starting a new project, otherwise it never gets done.
3. Confidence is slipping: This is the stage where FEAR and DOUBT appear. These guys are masters of painting vivid pictures of negative results and create a lack consciousness. Fear and doubt live in the future and as you know we need to live in the “Now” so plan for the future. With great planning these demons should not exist and living in the Now is easier. 90% of the time the, “Might go wrong”, you create in your head never materialize.
4. A Low Self-Worth: This is very different then a lull in thinking or production. This goes deeper then in the moment; it’s a mind set of not deserving abundance and success in your life. It’s an inner belief that keeps sabotaging success when it appears; its old negative thinking or past events that have the person feeling unworthy of greatness. If you find yourself dropping the ball when success is just a few feet away, stop and investigate this immediately, a book that I would suggest is “The Tomorrow Trap” by Karen Peterson.
5. Are you enjoying what you are doing: This is a double edge sword? What I mean is there are tasks that need to take place for success in this industry, tasks that most of us don’t enjoy; they are necessary evils for success. We have all heard the saying “Successful people do the things that unsuccessful people don’t like to do”. Does your business allow you to focus on what you enjoy and love doing? Make sure your business can succeed when you focus on your passion, does your business fit your skill set? Remember this industry makes you step outside your comfort zone at times, and these are the times of growth and some of your biggest victories so be a little flexable.
6.You’re Distracted or Just LAZY: If you avoid taking action for these reasons success is not an option in your life. It is a life of abundance and greatness waiting for you, your part in this equation is to take action, consistent focused action! Accompanied with a mind set of unwavering belief….
The next step for you is to step up to the plate and remove these obstacles, and start moving in a positive direction again.
this industry allows the average "Joe" the opportunity to obtain their goals and dreams. Take the risk and take whats yours in life, Success, Happiness and an Abundant Spirit.
Success is your my friends,
