Let me watch this 27min video about improving my work ethic instead of, well, doing the work.

 

[juan917]

I've never built a business but let me tell you why your plans suck

Just dealt with this last week. Told my friend I was going to resell a product I bought (one of the oldest business plays in the book) and he said DUDE DON"T DO THAT. I was like what? Said it was too risky and hard, recommended I be an affiliate instead. I was just like OK sure lol...

Am I the only one who has told myself some of these excuses before? Especially in the beginning of my wantrepreneur career.

This should be a wake up call for the guys who are not ALL IN.

Ya mean visionary like I can envision my 10,000 square foot mansion with the Lambo in the driveway?

Thread marked NOTABLE -- and lemme just say, I've said a few of the things in here so its been a nice refresher.

"Just one more article...one more video...one more book...one more course...just one more __________ then I will start"

Meanwhile 10 years later...

"Just one more .... question/mentor/job/child/relationship... then I will start"

 

[Jon L]

I need to read all of these, making sure to internalize each one. That way, I won't make the same mistake as these idiots.

"fake it till you make it"

I also need to post something so I can get my Rep Bank over 9,000

 

[GuestUser4aMPs1]

I don't feel like working so I'm going to ingest nootropics/stimulants/drugs and still end up not doing any work.

...and ruin my health.

I would guess most of us have used some of these excuses at one point in the past.

[AgainstAllOdds]

Letterhead.

Hahaha. I've had an argument with my lawyer before because of this.

Them: @AgainstAllOdds, You need to resubmit this document on your company's official letterhead.
Me: I don't have letterhead.
Them: Can you get some?
Me: Why?
Them: Because then it's official. Otherwise they won't accept it.
[I go into Word, write my company name and address in the header. Print out, sign, and scan same document. Then email it.]
Them: Thanks. That's perfect!

Going off this, any level of Workaholism is typically action-faking too.
Get what needs to be done, done - immediately.

 

[Helen Adams]

I'll start some real work once I get my profile pic sorted. It's got to be really cool though - so I'll just search the Internet. Some time later......

Yep - I did this yesterday

 

[healthstatus]

as soon as I get my website finished....

I just need to tweak the UI....

I'm investigating membership software plugins for Wordpress, do you have suggestions?

I won't upload anything to SoundCloud until I've sorted my profile pic.

Oh shoot... I forgot to do that part.

 

[AFMKelvin]

Basically the trend here is that everyone is waiting for that perfect time to take action.

MJ talked about this in his book. And yes I'm guilty of almost everything here.

It's all part of the human trait of been superstitious and ritualistic. Waiting for the perfect time when the stars align in your favor. And the ritual of having an event where everything explodes and you make it big.

But don't forget to just do it. Just by having some sort of plan you're already in the top 90 percent of the population. You may not be in the 1 percent but you're getting there.

I'm a thinker. I need a partner that's a doer.

Laws in my country make it hard to start.

 

[Longinus]

I just don't want to fail.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

I'll start this in the new year.

It isn't PERFECT yet.

(rather than -- DONE is better than perfect)

 

[Drive2Riches]

I'm going to browse TheFastlaneForum.com until I have some inspiration.

I'm too busy with college right now. I'll wait until I graduate, then life will be simpler.
