Beating the Procrastinators Creed to Achieve Your Goals

Beating the Procrastinators Creed to Achieve Your Goals
By Peter Murphy

Oftentimes, we can get to the place where we begin to look to others to help us, when we know very well, that that is not where the answer lies.

To ask how we get the motivation to do something that we very well know that we ought to do, and wait for that answer, is evidence that it doesn't take much of an excuse to not do it. The procrastinators creed is still around - having its effect.

If you were to be asked, "Where do you get the motivation to go to work every day?", would your answer be because: "I am motivated every single day to go to work?" Now you might be one person that has such a wonderful job as that - but most people find it a little difficult to always go to work because they are so overjoyed to be there.

When you were in school, did you get up and go to school every day - because you were motivated to do it? What was the real reason you went? It was because you were supposed to go.

Duty was the reason, motivation had nothing to do with it. Now, realistically, motivation does effect your performance once you get there, but you did not need it to go. Duty did the job.

Some Things Are Just Our Duty To Do

It does not take much to give allegiance to the procrastinators creed. It only needs an excuse. But on the other hand, if we come to realize that, maybe you owe it to yourself to lose that weight, then duty may once again be sufficient reason (not necessarily motivation), to do it.

Others can only help you a little bit, in this matter. You see, it is only you that can do the walking, and lose the weight - one pound at a time. It does, however, begin with you.

Duty Can Override Emotions

Now it is time to put an end to the procrastinators creed, in your life. Let´s say you want to lose weight. Ask yourself why you ought to lose the weight. Having good reasons, will make the task that much easier.

We do not have to listen to a lack of motivation feeling that comes over us all, at times, Rather, put those feelings aside and go on, do your duty - if you have no motivation to do it.

Put Duty And Emotions Together

Another important thing would be to try and put your duty and motivation together - and then set a goal. If you look at the slimmer figure that you want, and determine that it is a worthwhile goal, then it will help you to get the motivation every time you think about what your figure could be like. Set a time frame, too, as to how soon you want that figure. With a goal like that, who needs the procrastinators creed?

Procrastination can be habit forming and it can allow you to stagnate in your comfort zone when you should be growing.

When you feel like putting off something you know should be done, tell yourself that you are no longer following the procrastinator's creed.

Imagine and celebrate your breakthrough. Then take the action without hesitation while you are still in your positive energetic state!

Steps To Online Success

The 3 Vital Steps To Online Success - Part 1 of 4 (An Overview) By Robbie Pugh

Since its inception the Internet has brought fame and fortune to many individuals. For example, news broke not so long ago, of a couple from the UK who, in double-quick time, grew an online dating agency from zero to an income of hundreds of thousands. The value of their business is reckoned to be in the multi-million dollar range.

Since then, I heard of one gal who has struck gold selling bras and underwear and a guy who is making a nice living with his website on fly-fishing. Fly-fishing for heavens sake! Who would have thought there was any money in that? But there most certainly is. It’s a niche site offering a niche product. The perfect ingredients for online success!

More often than not the product or service is so simple, we ask ourselves: why didn`t I think of that? I`ll bet many of you can recall similar success stories. Indeed, anyone with a spark of life inside them will think: I can do that. That is when the dream starts; to emulate these successful entrepreneurs; to make a good living and be truly independent.

This, of course, is the sheer beauty of the Internet. The small guy can succeed. If you do it right you do not have to compete with the big guys, in fact if you try you will surely fail. But before I get ahead of myself, let me ask you a couple of questions:

First, why should you start an online business?

Without doubt the Internet provides a wonderful opportunity to set up your very own business at a minimal cost, capable of reaching a potential audience of countless millions.

Compare this with the cost and time in setting up a traditional business: the costs of premises, purchasing and stocking inventory, employing staff, overheads... the list goes on. The potential reach of your customers is also very limited with an off-line business by comparison with the Internet. The world really is your oyster. I think we can safely conclude there is no comparison.

Second, is it easy?

No, it most emphatically is not! But I tell you, it is a darn sight easier than starting a regular business! And it requires far less capital. But it still necessitates work, lots of work. And be in no illusion about one daunting statistic, namely that 95% of all new online ventures fail! You read that right, the odds are stacked against you! There, what do you think of that for a bit of honesty?

But now that you have been warned I can promise you one thing: with application, diligence, determination and a lot of perspiration you CAN succeed. And, it is to be hoped, beyond your wildest dreams. You can build a business for the future. And remember this, once you have built your site, it can go on creating income for you for years to come! Many have, why not you?

So, how do you go about getting online in the first place and then building your very own successful online business and, furthermore, with no Internet experience. This is where you are going to need help. Did you know there are three vital steps you must take to succeed with an Online Business? Well, that`s where this series of articles really begins.

Over the next three articles I shall elaborate on precisely these three steps. So, watch out for Part 2, which deals with the options open to you for getting your very own website up and running.
