Hi  
 
Rosalie and James here from http://www.developingyoursuccess.com
 
Do you know someone who is waiting until they "know it all" before they begin to
earn money online?
 
Well guess what? They will never know it all, because things keep changing!

And we think that's just an excuse, anyway. When you're afraid to do
something because you don't know where to start, it's easy to say,
"I'll just wait until I know more."

But those people are ALWAYS waiting until they know more. They were waiting
last year, they're waiting this year, and next year they'll STILL be waiting. Maybe
they are suffering from procrastination.

Procrastination

There are many ways to avoid success in life, but in most cases is
procrastination. Procrastinators sabotage themselves. They put
obstacles in their own path, they actually choose paths that
will hurt their performance.

Now why would people do that? Twenty percent of people identify themselves as
chronic procrastinators. For them procrastination is a lifestyle, and it cuts happens
in all areas of their life.

  •     They don't pay their bills on time.
  •     They miss opportunities for buying tickets to concerts.
  •     They don't cash gift certificates or checks.
  •     They send in their income tax returns late.
  •     They leave their Christmas shopping until Christmas Eve.

  • Procrastinators tell themselves. "I'll feel more like doing this tomorrow." Or " I work best under pressure." But in fact they do not get the urge the next day or work best under pressure. In addition, they protect their sense of self by saying "this isn't important."

  • Procrastinators actively look for distractions, particularly ones that don't take a lot of commitment on their part. Checking e-mail is almost perfect for this purpose. They distract themselves as a way of regulating their emotions such as fear of failure.

  • People procrastinate for different reasons: Avoiders, who may be avoiding fear of failure or even fear of success, but in either case, are very concerned with what others might think of them. They would rather have others think they lack effort than ability. Decisional procrastinators, who cannot make a decision, not making a decision absolves procrastinators of responsibility for the outcome of events.

    There are big costs to procrastination. Health is one. There is evidence of compromised immune systems as more colds and flu, more gastrointestinal problems and insomnia. In addition, procrastination has a high cost to others as well as oneself; it shifts the burden of responsibilities onto others, who become resentful.
     
    Procrastination destroys teamwork in the workplace and private relationships.

    Have a fantastic day!
     
    To Your Success,
