This kills procrastination forever. I have a quick blog post for you today. You know, many good, smart and hardworking people think they lack the follow thru gene. So, they’re quick to hold themselves back, labelling themselves as chronic procrastinators but really, it just takes a teeny tweak in their strategy to turn it all around.
I’ll relate it this way. Many people that are trying to quit an addictive habit like drugs or alcohol. They feel it’s too much to have to quit the habit forever. Sounds very daunting, right? So, they’re often reminded of this one thing which I hear is posted up on the walls of these places like AAA: JUST FOR TODAY. That’s all the sign says but it reminds them that they don’t have to worry about forever. Follow X number of steps for X number of days because all they have is today at hand. Can you do it today?
Another guy I know is worth hundreds of millions and he tells himself something similar: “Everything ends.” He knows that whatever he must do to get the results he wants, everything will end. It could be:
- A 10 minute task
- A phone conversation
- Focusing 1 hour on something
Everything ends. So, he just does it. “Everything ends, everything ends, everything ends,” he tells himself. He’ll go to sleep a bit later that night , just like everybody else. I hope this makes sense and I hope this is helpful. It was quite the “AHA” when I heard it too especially in this business.
You need to be able to send leads every day, ideally but it doesn’t have to take but 30 to 60 minutes to do it. So, if you follow the steps above and focus just for today, keep it simple. You can arrive at $4k plus months, month after month as a nice result. Make sense?
