4 ways to vanquish procrastination for good (update on our Thursday call)

Tai here, Innoculate yourself from failure… stop letting procrastination control your life & bash your dreams! TRUTH: Procrastination. just. sucks. It feels almost like you’re being attacked, right at the moment you decide you (finally) want to get something done it strikes. You’ve set your goal, maybe it’s to start working on that new business idea you have... … and BAM! You just seem to lock up... At that moment anything sounds better than starting, watching ‘one more’ YouTube video, maybe checking Instagram for the 30th time, even banging your head against the desk sounds more appealing than working. In this email, I’m going to share with you 4 sure-fire ways to fight procrastination, get things done, and start building your empire. Understanding The Enemy Before we can fight procrastination, we need to understand what triggers it… it’s not that you don’t want to get things done, it’s that usually getting things done involves attempting something new. Put simply, your brain really prefers NOT doing something new & challenging, so it presents you with a number of options of ‘comfortable’ things to do instead. This isn’t good. ** [ Just a quick reminder about your Thursday live call with Mark Lack - [Get the Details & Register]( ] ** “I need more motivation to start!” many claim... NO. Motivation isn’t the core problem, this line is just an excuse your brain is using to get you to put off ‘doing’ by ‘waiting for motivation’. So what is the key to solving the seemingly never-ending problem of procrastination? We’ve already talked about ‘why’ it happens, your brain is fighting against ‘getting out of your comfort zone’. It triggers anxiety and distraction to keep you from doing the ‘new actions’ that are required for reaching a goal. Next, let’s look at a shortlist of underlying issues that need to be addressed to inoculate yourself against procrastination… - Your goal isn’t clear enough. You can fight back against your mind’s desire to avoid ‘new and uncomfortable’ by making goals more specific & mapping out specific action steps. Set specific and tight timelines for execution. - Define what’s uncomfortable. Similar to journaling and meditating, take a moment when you feel the urge to procrastinate to write out what specifically you’re worried about in regards to your project. - Better clarify your ‘why’. A goal or project needs to be attached to a bigger end game. Write out and meditate on why you want to do the thing in the first place, and why accomplishing it is important. - Control your environment. Once you’ve done the above be sure and set yourself up for success. Take away your brains ‘distraction tools’ such as your phone and use software tools to limit access to websites that you use to procrastinate with. Listen to music without lyrics if doing work that requires thinking. Set aside a quiet place that is designated ONLY for this type of work. Give yourself mini rewards and incentives for reaching goal milestones. In short, there are PROCESSES you can learn and practice to help you fight off the nastiness of procrastination. Take for example [the special workshop we’re holding this Thursday with Mark Lack]( where he’s going to show you how he’s helping people create & leverage 6 and 7 figure personal brands. If you want to follow his processes and create your own you’ll need to fight off the urge to procrastinate. As valuable and as straightforward as the process is your brain will still resist ‘doing it’; simply because it’s new and innovative. It doesn’t matter that it could lead to a new, wonderful, lifestyle of your dreams or a powerful way to attract & close high paying clients - your brain will still resist. The way to fight this self-destructive behavior is to follow the 4 “procrastination knockouts” I listed above and... [1] Register and (more importantly) SHOW UP (half the battle) to Mark’s training… make it a GOAL to learn his methods, they’ve proved time and time again to be incredibly effective. As you watch the training make a list of personal goals you’d like to accomplish with these strategies. [2] Meditate on your goals… Meditate on the actions you can take before, during, and after this free workshop. Fortunately, Mark is providing you with a very specific roadmap to follow, which makes it much simpler to execute. [Tai & Mark]( Included With the Workshop is the ‘VIP Binder’ A 70-page strategy guide to 6 & 7 figure personal brand development. FREE when you register! [3] Define your WHY. This is crucial, your ‘why’ is something you can turn to when you feel overwhelmed or anxious. It’s the touchstone that will keep you moving. It may be that you desire [a better way of life, more & better-paying clients, more time with your family and friends…]( go further, take it to the next level, WHY do you want what you’ve defined as something you want? Maybe you want the chance to ‘quit your day job’, but why? For more freedom? Again, why? More freedom to do what? Keep building on your why’s, establishing deeper and deeper connections with them. Personally, for me, running my own businesses isn’t about money or even freedom as much as it was about fulfillment and flexibility. Dig deep. Procrastination is one of the most significant barriers to accomplishing your goals & reaching your potential… but you don’t have to accept that it will hold you back forever. You also don’t have to expect yourself to never have the desire to procrastinate ~ often the desire is a sign you’re heading in the right direction & getting out of your comfort zone! But you SHOULD learn how to combat it… because it’s always going to show up when you want to try something new.
