What Is The Millionaire Secret?

All About Procrastination

We all procrastinate to various degrees but lets talk about procrastination as applied to doing work to get to that millionaire status.

There are plenty of money making opportunities out there. Many people join them and almost as many people leave them. Why! Because they feel as if they are not progressing as fast as they thought they would or should. This is why we need to discuss all about procrastination because a lot of time it is exactly that that is preventing them from moving ahead.

But first, succeeding in an online opportunity at the start is not fast. Get out of your head that you will be earning heaps in a matter of weeks. Forget about those juicy adverts that say you will be making $10,000 a month in no time flat. Doesn’t happen, never will happen.

Most opportunities when you start working them start off slow and then gradually build up speed until you reach the level where you can give up your day job. This means that you can then spend more time working your opportunity.

So where does procrastination come into this? What is the procrastination definition? Procrastination basically means “putting off”. You put of the jobs that need to be done for you to accomplish your dream of getting up there in the realms of higher earning.

So why do we put off things? Probably for the same reason we leave an opportunity that we joined. We do not see any progress in the time we expected. We started full of fervor and enthusiasm fulfilling all the tasks that the opportunity says we need to do. Nothing much happens so you start slacking and “putting off”. I’ll do it tomorrow you say. It never happens tomorrow.

You want me to continue about procrastination? No, you want me to tell you how to stop procrastination.

Well first you really need to get into your head that starting off is not easy. Work is needed and what is just as important consistent work is needed. You need to consistently perform all the tasks that are needed for you to succeed.

Most of you are starting in an opportunity for the first time. There is a lot of learning to do. You may not be performing the tasks in the beginning in the best way for you to move ahead. This is a major cause of the appearance of a lack of progress. Treat the first couple of months in an opportunity as a learning phase on how to promote your opportunity and perform your tasks.

The aim of the game is consistency, consistency. Your first referral or first sale will happen. When this does you will get renewed vigor in keeping going with your tasks. I saw a diagram somewhere and it was like this.

I drew it out and keep it in vision to remind me what happens when one sees an opportunity with potential.

Here are some tips on how to stop procrastinating.

• Make a list of all the tasks you need to complete each day. Sort the list into simple and difficult then sort each list in order of importance.

• Set yourself a time limit to work on the tasks each day or every other day whatever suits you. This does not mean you have to set the time to complete all the tasks but is a time limit you want to work on tasks. If you do not complete all the tasks in the time allocated on one day continue the next day from the last task done.

• If the task involves repetition (e.g. posting an ad to classified ad sites) set a time limit for that task.

• Start off with simple tasks first, ones that you will not have difficulty in completing and you will not get frustrated doing.

• Complete a number of simple tasks writing down the steps that you did to complete them. Use this to repeat the tasks the next day. As you progress you will find that these will become quicker and quicker for you to do.

• Start with one difficult task and repeat each day until proficient and before starting the next difficult task. As you get more proficient you will find that eventually you will be able to perform more each day.

• If your mind start wandering whilst doing a task stop and have a break, a coffee or something then come back and continue.

It is more important that the tasks are completed in an orderly manner and the tasks that are repeated are repeated. Remember procrastination is not starting the list of tasks rather than completing the list of tasks in the time allocated for that day. Also in the same vein it is completing the total list of tasks over the days before starting again that is important. Some people may want to spend 2 hours a day and complete all tasks over 3 days others may only want to spend one hour per day and complete over 6 days. It’s up to you. Its important that the tasks are all completed and repeat and repeat and repeat. Repetition and consistency is what’s most important certainly when you are first starting on a new opportunity.

Well that all about procrastination and what causes it and how to cure it but there is one other cause and an important one, joining to many opportunities. Joining to many opportunities dilutes one efforts. You eventually get so overwhelmed that it just gets too much. Concentrate on one good opportunity after all you just want to become a millionaire once and one will do that.
