Procrastination Can Take Many Forms

By Bill Fletcher Isn’t it odd that almost every alarm clock made has a built-in function to encourage you to make procrastination your first act of the day?

You know what I’m talking about, the snooze button.

If I hit it once and go back to sleep, it only makes me want to hit it again, and again and you know where that leads.

Crazy isn’t it?

Shouldn’t instead of helping you go back to sleep, your alarm clock gently tip your bed up, helping you make the first step of the day?

Seriously. We all have been trained to procrastinate, from the bedside clocks we use to our ability to rationalize our behavior and our network marketing business.

Is procrastination holding you back from building your business?

Procrastination Can Take Many Forms

Procrastination can take many forms.  Fear it the main reason for procrastinating.  Fear of the unknown, fear of making a mistake, fear of success, lack of knowledge, not prioritizing, don’t know want to do next and just plain putting off to tomorrow what needs to be done today. I know because I am a master procrastinator.

MASTER. Overcoming procrastination is difficult expecessly if it becomes a habit. Of the various forms of procrastination, the most misunderstood is the fear of success.  Sounds strange..fear of success.  Why?  Fear of success is related to Fear of failure.  Here is how it works.  To be successful you will some failures.  If you fear failure then you won’t take the necessary steps to overcome the phobia.  “I fear success because the reverse is failure”

Fear Of Failure

In today’s driven society, failure is often seen as unacceptable. We are encouraged to innovate but avoid “wasting” time or money. When we fail, we may be threatened or even punished by employers, spouses and parents.

This negative experience can lead to a fear of failure. A low level of fear can be inspiring, but a higher level of fear can become a full-blown phobia, crippling your progress. So how do you overcome these fears?  Address them and know you have an issue.  Everyone has some problems from time to time.  The difference is that some people handle it in a very positive way.

Your Network Marketing Business

If you have a network marketing business and it is going nowhere, stop and figure why.  It could be a FEAR.  The way you handle it is to say, “I know what it is and I can deal with it”.  Find a mentor a person who may be successful and copy their success.  By coping you take away the success/failure phobia.  After all you are only coping them.  There is no fear when I an only copy someone else success.

JUST DO IT

What about Procrastination?

JUST DO IT!!

What ever it is that needs to be done…JUST DO IT. Al Williams is the founder of a very successful MLM company.  Some time ago he made a speech about JUST DO IT.

In my business, I will take a task that needs to be done.  Identify my fear (if I am struggling with what I am not getting it done)  and JUST DO IT.  An overwhelming sense of accomplishment comes across and I then go to my next task.

By the way if I do something that I have been putting off, I reward myself…ice cream. I have found a mentor and coach to help.  In fact I have found five mentor/coaches.  It has changed the way I do my network marketing business.  I found them at My Lead System Pro or MLSP.
