Shameless Leadership

267: 5 Tips To Set And Meet Every Deadline


Listen Later

There is a saying that goes something like, “A goal without a deadline is just a dream.” I couldn’t agree more.

Don’t get me wrong - dreams are nice. 

But a goal with a deadline is much more likely to dramatically change your life.

An early mentor of mine used to always say, “Cut your deadlines in half.” His purpose in giving this advice is that if you could accomplish something in half the time you thought possible, you’ll constantly be raising the bar for yourself. You recognize quickly that you are strong and powerful beyond measure.

In this episode, I’m going to dig into how to start setting better deadlines and actually meet them.  I will also talk about your procrastination habits that might be really impeding progress toward your goals on a regular basis. This is something most of us are guilty of and it’s usually subconscious.

The best time to set a deadline is right NOW. You ready?
