A brief concerning overcoming procrastination: Two Thursdays back a bittersweet life admonishment was passed on to me and that made me ideate of where I would’ve been if I chose to do things contrarily. I don’t want to look extremely overdramatic because it’s not though it’s a life lesson nevertheless.

Almost or about four years back I started attending a manner of martial arts known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I begun nearly the same period as my friend and as far as I can look back, I believe I had a considerable weeks ahead of him.

We started out with nearly the same skill level and information of the martial art. In actuality, I was a step ahead of my buddy seeing that I had the couple of weeks running start. I would clobber him more than he did me when we sparred. We came to classes three to four times a week and our love for the art was compelling. We lived, breathed, and ate bjj (brazilian jiu-jitsu). It was enjoyable!

A little months into the martial art I became disinterested and didn’t attend a lot of the classes. I became unmotivated for some reason or other especially when the holidays hit. I’d procrastinate and do something unproductive like sit around and watch TV or do some other time wasting venture. I’d arrive to class possibly once a week.two at the most but that was it for me. Eventually the two classes a week dwindled down to at whatever time I felt like it. I continued to go but scarcely every once in awhile thanks to my procrastination and laziness. It wasn’t on a consistent basis so I never really got back into the rythm and hereafter I cancelled utterly.

I lost touch with my friend but we’d keep in contact every now and then. He still continued to go even after all these years. He kept urging me to go in our conversations and in my heart of hearts I still had a desire for the sport. So I determined to sign on once more. It’s been about a month or so now.

Fast forward to two Thursdays ago and my colleague was awarded his purple belt. A purple belt in bjj is only two belts away from black. I thought to myself after the class was completed, “What if I continued down this way?”. What if I remained incessant and hadn’t deserted my fondness for it?. What if I overcame procrastination and dismissed the excuses? Where would I be? It is a life lesson that I’ll no way disregard. It’s genuine in a way.

So what does this have to do with your home based business? Many things! yourself four years (or sooner) from today if you remain determined with your business or anything else for that matter. Where would you be a few years from now if you cancelled procrastinating and continued down this road? Where would your skill set and ability be in your online home business four years from today? Now determine yourself giving in to procrastination. Where would you be four years from now?

Here are just a few tips (That I Can Use Likewise!) to overcoming procrastination:

1.) Establish the aim for procrastination: Could it be fear that’s holding you back? Laziness? Once you single out the aim, overcoming procrastination becomes easier.

2.) Compose a day-to-day routine: Make a list of priorities that demand to be done for that day and don’t rest until that assignment is complete. A perception of seriousness to get the business accomplished will help you avoid procrastination.

3.) Stand persistent: Performing things on a daily basis becomes a habit. Regardless of what many hyped-up sales pages say, you won’t bag “$7,393 in seven days utilizing this system”. The people who do make those figures DID NOT make that off the bat. It took them time to find out the skills and they remained determined despite the failures.

4.) Have Desire: Being impassioned about your business will boost you in beating procrastination to a pulp. Your excitement for your home business will boost you get through the days when you appear like quitting.

5.) Be progressive: Go on with learning new skills whether it’s in writing good articles, learning a new traffic technique or learning some basic HTML codes. When you determine new things you become fascinated in the attainment and you’ll build your skill set.

In conclusion, I just want to say that this post was intended for me as much as it was meant for those of you who are striving in overcoming procrastination and I hope it has heartened you to continue learning and constructing the skills it takes to succeed. Just like my friend’s progression came two Thursdays ago, yours will too.
