I just want to know how you guys stay focused on what you do and not waste time doing other things.
How do you deal with the temptations that tell you to take a break? To do it later, that gives you all the reason to not do what you're supposed to do. I know I shouldn't waste time but even though I'm aware I can't help but slip into instant gratification and by the time I get my act together I only do like 10% if even that and justify it in my mind that I took action. I want to be more action-oriented and stop being lazy.
1. Write deep and powerful goals.. ones that YOU really want... ones that make you feel. Not just goals that are like, "Yea, that'd be cool."
2. Get accountability. 4 out of 5 successful people I've interviewed, taken to lunch, or talked to... PAY for a mentor or coach.. and also surround themselves with hungry, successful people that pull them up. You don't want to be the slowest one in the group. Don't hang out with the people that want you to drink alcohol, smoke pot, and play call of duty or destiny all day. Get around the people that want to share with you what they just learned from their mentors and influential people.. excited people!
3. Do things that make you FEEL like a millionaire.. that you deserve success.. whether that's going to get a massage, pedicure, test driving a new car, eating a fancy dinner to celebrate your success, whatever.. you have to make yourself happy so that you can be in the right state of mind...
4. Just DECIDE. Seriously.. sit down and become sick of not being where you want to be... you have to have a sense of urgency.. quit wasting time. I just recently listened to a man worth 10s of millions of dollars tell a room full of people.. to remember something they did last week, last month, last year, now 5 years ago... he said.. it seems like just yesterday right? Well... that was 5 years ago... and there's ONLY SO MANY 5 YEAR CHUNKS LEFT... And they will pass faster than you think..
5. Just take action. What's the worst thing that can happen?
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it.
