What's Holding You Back: Part 1 of 3

We all have goals to move our businesses forward, however we often ignore the anchors that are preventing or at least slowing our progress. Over the next 3 weeks we’ll cover the 3 anchors that are holding you back. The first is procrastination. I know it well and I excel at it often. It’s human nature to procrastinate. Our minds are hard wired for comfort, to find the easiest route and to avoid the uncomfortable, the risk of failure and rejection. The problem is all of our growth is in the discomfort. No pain, no gain is just as true in business as it is in the gym or playing field. Our brains like to procrastinate because it is easy in the moment, unfortunately the cost is great in the future. Here are 3 quick suggestions on how to pull this anchor. 

  1. Do it first, early and often. If you get the feeling you want to avoid something move it to the top of the priority list. Do it early in the day when you have the most energy and do it frequently to build competence and confidence. 

  2. Find accountability. Just like having a workout partner or trainer be accountable to someone you respect and don’t want to let down. 

  3. If you absolutely can’t bring yourself to do it, hire someone. Yes, there is a cost to delegating it, but the cost is far less than avoiding it all together. I speak from experience. 

Keep Elevating Our Industry.
