Overcoming Procrastination

By Roy Vera,MBA

There is nothing more sinister in the course of starting a business.

Your dreams, desires and goals are bottled up tightly inside you. Learning how to shake everything up and burst out with action takes hard work and practice. Especially when bad habits, and unproductive rituals have had a tight grip on you.

The first most difficult step is always the first. That initial push to crank yourself to action and take that step I have often compared to powering up an engine. The spark needed to ignite that mighty engine and fuel its motor is awesome. That first step is out of reach for many wanting to begin a new path. Or so they think it is. The difficult task at hand for many people is turning the key and rolling into action on a consistent basis towards a specific direction or goal in mind.

Overcoming procrastination is not only about doing today what should be done today, it is also about knowing your path, knowing your goal and realizing what is the outcome of your actions. Whatever you’ll like to achieve overcoming procrastination in the key.

Having motivation to achieve your goal and creating a lifestyle capable of finding contentment, happiness, having less stress in your life, not having a boss, reducing or eliminating the commute, all contribute to help in the deep rooted desire to visualize and actualize your goals.

About a year ago I decided on a goal. I took on the task of writing my book- Beating Home business Failure. I set out to write my personal experiences in business. Everyday I wrote a paragraph or two. Some days I would write out several pages. I did not try to attempt to compete the book in one day. I took very small steps, one day at a time, after almost 6 months of writing, I had completed my book. Although, there were times I felt I would never finish it because of what your are about to read.

I was able to write my book while working over 60+ hours a week, attending a University full time in pursuit of my graduate degree, and a father of two. Plus I am the sole provider of my home. I tell you this not to impress you, but to impress upon you that anything you conceive your body can achieve. I am living proof of this. If I could accomplish this and begin my business while having many barriers and obstacles in my way. You can too.

I had a desire, a fixed goal; I committed myself and began climbing one step at a time.

Limiting yourself by putting off today what should be done today is very sad. You owe it to yourself to overcome this menace. I can honestly say that procrastination for me is no longer an enemy I have learned to use procrastination in my favor by realizing that it exists and is always part of my life. When I feel like not doing something. I quickly remind myself that old procrastination is there waiting for me to slip and fall. I then quickly take action towards my goals and beat old procrastinator Beating Biz Failure is not only about getting a business started but, it is also about the human side of things. We as humans are subject to emotions and a strain of defects running rampant in us that must be overcome. You can start by beating procrastination and be well on your way to Beating Biz Failure.
