Action and Procrastinating. We\u2019re all guilty of this deadly sin. It eats away our precious time and prevents us from achieving our goals.We want to watch TV, hang out with friends instead of doing that business plan or start that business you always wanted while the competition is working day and night to take your clients. We think to ourselves what if we fail? Self-doubt makes us procrastinate. We find the cleverest reasons to procrastinate. So much so that we even believe our reasons are justified and true. How to break this habit in action and procrastinating?<\/p>\n
Frist tip in Action and Procrastinating. We question ourselves what if we fail? This is why the majority of people won\u2019t take action and stay within their comfort zone, justifying to themselves working in a job they don\u2019t really like for a business they don\u2019t really feel part of. Why? Because it\u2019s safe, you go to work, you do what\u2019s required and receive that pay cheque at the end of the month. But will it last in a world were our daily living expenses are increasing faster than wage increases and technology is replacing manual labor? Is your job really that safe after all?<\/p>\n

Many entrepreneurs failed the first few times. They are still alive! Many more of these who failed are today more successful than ever before as they learnt from the past and succeeded later on!<\/p>\n
No risk – no major return.<\/p>\n
As mentioned above the comfort zone is a beautiful place, it\u2019s comfy, no fear of rejection, no fear of failure, no fear of not having money at the end of the month. It\u2019s safe but nothing grows there. Familiarity is the outcome of day to day life. Successful people say that the comfort zone is the most dangerous place to be because of the protection it provides and the illusion that comes with it.<\/p>\n
Getting yourself out there and telling people about your ventures or dream is one thing. Asking them to part with their money for your service or product is the real challenge! It\u2019s scary, but how can you achieve if you\u2019re not willing to put yourself the test?<\/p>\n
Do what makes you uncomfortable, you\u2019ll live! Remember this quote \u201c If you do what is easy , life will be hard, if you do what is hard , life will be easy!\u201d<\/p>\n
Putting tasks on hold it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you\u2019re procrastinating. It could also mean you\u2019re prioritizing the important tasks. But you must be honest with yourself. Hand on heart ask yourself is what you\u2019re doing really important?<\/p>\n
Are your filling your day with non-important tasks or ones that have a low priority, to justify to yourself being \u201cbusy\u201d. But in reality avoiding what makes you uncomfortable and doing what really needs to be done! We\u2019re all guilty of that!<\/p>\n
