I tell business owners, if they want to have more time and money then there’s one bad habit they need to beat - and they might want the help of a good business coach to get out of it. Nobody really wants to acknowledge it, but procrastination probably costs us more time and money than any other vice we might have developed.

And yet, how productive and rewarding our lives could be if we overcame this mental affliction. How much less stressed would we be if we weren’t carrying around an unfinished task list in our head.

Among the reasons that we procrastinate, we might not see the relevance of the task to be done, or we don’t feel we can do the task very well, or we just find it boring. Another reason can be just plain old bad time management.

Whatever our reason is for putting tasks off, we can begin to train our minds to overcome habitual procrastination. Often we need to try the hardest with boring or repetitive tasks. It begins with a commitment to only put one thing off: procrastination itself.

Often there are triggers for procrastination. It might be seeing the coffee pot, randomly meeting with someone in the corridor, going outside for a smoke. All these things can be fill-ins for what we really ought to be doing and in the business world this can drain massive amounts of profit from the organisation.

It’s not just employees who suffer from procrastination. Business owners can be among the worst of them - especially when things aren’t going too well. To remedy workplace procrastination, the best place to begin is with the business manager. You can’t expect your team to show a quality that you won’t or can’t demonstrate yourself.

If you constantly find that you never seem to complete your tasks on a personal level, or if you own a business and find that your team are always struggling to meet deadlines, you may be well served to secure the services of a business coach who is adept at teaching people to overcome procrastination. Business owners and employees both enjoy the workplace much more when they have learned to self start and overcome procrastination.

In just a moment, I will be telling you a secret about yourself. First, let me explain what I am going to share. I want to offer you a proper explanation because this article may be a turning point for your life. It does not matter where you are at or who you are.

Picture a professional athlete wanting to win the game, but is only willing to play with 50% of his capability. Imagine a mother willing to take care of her baby only 50% of the time. Will they be successful? Will anyone be successful if they put only 50% effort toward reaching their goals? Of course not.

Most of us realize that we need to put 100% effort into anything if we want to succeed. Unfortunately, we usually only put 40% to 60% effort towards reaching our true potential. Is this you? Take a look at an area of your life you want to change or improve. If you are not putting 100% effort into making the change, you are not getting the results you desire.

People come to me and tell me they want more love, health, money, etc. The explanation I offer them is they are not putting forth a full effort to make it happen.

This is not just about being busy or working harder. I mean you are really putting 100% effort in ALL you do. If you will apply 100% into any project, you will succeed.

What you will find is that obstacles, limitations, and barriers, will simply dissolve right before your eyes. The Universe will conspire to assist you. The only way you can undergo this “breakthrough” is by playing full out.

While traveling the road to wealth, most great people have uncovered the secret to achieving great things has nothing to do with intelligence, strength, or wealth. The main component necessary for upgrading your life to the next level is having the courage to get done what you can, with what you have to work with at the time.

I realize some people reading this may say, “I’m too busy or too tired to give any more than what I’m doing.” The truth is, you’re not even close to being maxed out.

Feeling tired is mostly a state of mind and most people are just doing “busy” work. Of course, they are busy doing a bunch of things, but nothing that is moving them forward towards reaching their desired results.

Create a “Things Not To Do” list. These are the things that aren’t moving helping you to achieve your desired results. Only stay busy doing the things that will truly give you greater success in the long run and you will succeed.

Many of the great inventors, athletes, business people, entertainers, and more discovered their success was in the next step. Continue going for your dreams while only focusing on what you want and success will be inevitable.

Kindly,
