Have you ever started your day with good intentions of completing a task or project only to find that by the end of the day you’ve hardly worked on it? Or have you ever set a goal to attend a seminar, learn a new skill or just have more time out for you? I’m sure you have. I’m not going to write a long-winded explanation about the art of procrastination or “putting things off” but what I will do is share with you the secret of actually “getting things done”…putting an end to procrastination and just getting on with it.

Are you one of those people who bounce out of bed at 6.00a.m. and race to the gym for a workout and by the time you leave for work, you’ve showered, had breakfast and organised everyone else in your household.  You arrive at work and you’re on fire!

Or do you wake up at the last possible second and drag your weary body out of bed, walk around like a zombie and gradually get yourself organised? You need your morning coffee to snap you out of your sleepy state and finally drag yourself into work.

Hi,

For your business to be better, you need to be better, and you don’t get better by doing nothing! To do this you may have to get right out of your comfort zone and join a coaching program, go along to seminars where you meet other like-minded people or those playing at a higher level of business than you.

There’s no excuse not to get off your butt and learn your way to success. Regardless of where you are located events are taking place all around the country regularly as well as on-line. Saying you have ‘no money’ or ‘no time’ are poor excuses.

I recently presented a workshop to a group of small business owners, many of whom were working alone.

What always amazes me is how people can stay in business for many years, continually doing what they’ve always done… working hard, but having no life and in many instances, not much money! They are not happy, healthy or wealthy.

To top it off, many people had invested thousands of dollars in purchasing existing businesses that were barely providing a living, not a lifestyle.

I ask you, what’s the point? If you’re going to be in business, you want to make lots of money and enjoy regular time off.

This week is about investing in yourself to get the results you want to achieve. If you remember early in the year one of my personal goals was to have the arms of Michelle, the personal trainer from ‘The Biggest Loser’.

To do this I had to invest the time and money to get the results. On my own, it wasn’t enough.

Engaging in the help of Marc Stafford from Marc Stafford Health and Fitness who also trains my son, I’m on my way.
