Today we are going to talk about The phenomena of Procrastination.

The phenomena of procrastination is what separates outstanding performance from mediocre performance. A business associate of mine recently conducted a series of interviews with 15 of their most successful clients. In answer to the question, "If you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently," this person encountered a recurring theme, which can be paraphrased as follows:

"Life happens ... and if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have used it as an excuse not to do the work. When I finally stopped using everything that normally occurs in life and business as an excuse not to do the work, my results dramatically improved ... my life dramatically improved ... and the work got easier."

We all have challenges we have to deal with on a professional and personal level. “Life happens” and “Life gets in the way” at certain times in all of our lives. You have to deal with life issues we have and continue to stay focused on what is truly important to us and not stop the forward momentum that you have worked so hard to build. It is harder, sure, but you will persevere anyway, so why not make the adjustment to deal with “life issues” sooner rather than later or not at all.

Have you ever wondered why some people become champions, superstars, or celebrities?

Have you ever considered that not succeeding at something important to you...

... even for a REALLY good reason...

... is not the same as achieving your goal?

Have you ever said or thought, “I wish I had more time?”, “If I had more time, I would _____.”, “If there were a few more hours in this day, I could _____.” Most of us, at some time or another, have probably thought or said this to ourselves.

Successful people know you can have whatever level of success you desire and the quality of life you truly want by making some adjustments to the way you are currently operating in your professional and personal life.

All that most people need are systems, processes, focus, real desire to achieve your goals, belief that you can do whatever you set your mind to, and (the key) Accountability.

Wouldn’t it be great if our ‘good intentions’ worked the way that we think they should?

Have you ever considered the cost of poor follow through in your life?
