In this article I will share with you the three dangers of
procrastination, what you need to do and be aware of in order to break
free from. As I have had firsthand experience, on how it can have a
detrimental impact on your life.
My aim, in this article, is to help you move from where you are to where you want to be, as I've wasted years mastering the art of procrastination, when in reality, I really wanted to have and run my online business.
Here are the three dangers:
#1 - Your dream will fizzle out, or you will enter the pressure cooker.
One of the biggest problems of a procrastinator is starting. They spend days, weeks, months or even years, coming up with valid reason as to why they are unable to start. When you are in this cycle, what you want to start is going to fizzle out, or you are only going to start when the pain of not starting, becomes so unbearable, you have to start. It is as if you are in a pressure cooker. Chances are when you do get started, you will find yourself procrastinating on something else, as you've mastered the art of procrastinating.
#2 - Wasting time and mental energy
As a byproduct of procrastinating, you end up spending your time thinking about either the reasons why you are unable to start, think about all the steps you need to take or even think about the actions you need to take, without taking then. When in reality, you would have been better off starting and doing the thing you're delaying.
#3 - Beating yourself up mentally
It's pretty common for a procrastinator to beat themselves up mentally, especially when they see others people successfully starting and running their own business
So what's the solution?
The vast majority of personal and business development gurus preach, you've just got to take action, and that action needs to be massive action. Truth to be told, there is truth to what they say. Without starting, there's no way you are going to complete whatever you've been procrastinating on. However when you tell a serial procrastinator, to take massive action, isn't going to help much in the long term, as they've mastered the art of procrastinating.
If you fall into this category, what you need to do is stop and focus on your primary reason for wanting to start an online business, your purpose, and you have to get complete clarity on it. When you have a strong purpose, it can act as your motivator and provide you with the inspiration to carry on, when the going gets tough. Just knowing your purpose isn't good enough, you've got to strengthen it and make it powerful.
