It is very likely that if you are just getting started in Network Marketing, you will probably experience procrastination early in your career. It happens because marketing is new and many people who start in this industry do not have the repetition and experience to put into practice.
Procrastination is an addiction; it’s the logical side of your brain that keeps you in a state of familiarity that always leads to disappointment. The left (logical) side of your brain uses a series of past events as an excuse not go out and produce activities that make your business money.
But to become a recovering procrastinator, you must be FOCUSED. Set yourself goals that you believe you can achieve, but if the goals are so big then you will think you have an excuse to procrastinate. People who are afraid of failure or rejection will procrastinate to avoid the pain.
You must learn that failing leads to success. You see, success is not a blueprint or something you work out in your head. Everyone experiences success differently and how successful you are depends on how productive you are. If you spend your time getting ready to get ready, then you are being busy. If you’re conducting lead generating activities then you are being productive.
All you really require is just ONE excuse to procrastinate, and the next stage after procrastination is quitting. If you have been procrastinating then LET IT GO, but you must produce.
Seb, this is so true. I’m a marketer just starting out and it’s easy to fall into procrastination. I have to say I really am glad that you found me on myspace. You have influenced me to be a more successful marketer. And all your information is so unbelievably relevent. So thank you for putting out your time and energy.!
