Life Happens – There are no excuses to procrastinate

September 3, 2008 by Anne Bachrach Leave a Comment

The phenomena of procrastination is what separates outstanding performance from mediocre performance in a world in which no excuses can lead to success. A business associate of mine recently conducted a series of interviews with 15 of their most successful clients. In answer to the question, “If you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently,” she encountered a recurring theme, which can be paraphrased as follows:

“Life happens … and if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have used it as an excuse not to do the work. When I finally stopped using everything that normally occurs in life and business as an excuse not to do the work, my results dramatically improved … my life dramatically improved … and the work got easier.”

We all have challenges we have to deal with on a professional and personal level. “Life happens” and “Life gets in the way” at certain times in all of our lives. You have to deal with life issues, with no excuses, and continue to stay focused on what is truly important to us and not stop the forward momentum that you have worked so hard to build. It is harder, sure, but you will persevere anyway, so why not make the adjustment to deal with “life issues,” such as procrastination, sooner rather than later or not at all.

Testimonials

I’ve sometimes thought of myself as not coachable – fits & starts on progress – but when I looked at where I’ve come, I can tell it works. This year, I’ve experienced over 50% growth – and with that growth came some confidence… confidence to finally go after what I know I should have done – we’ve added a flat-fee-only option to our offerings, and that’s ALL I’ll be targeting for 2014 and beyond. With that under our belts, I can foresee another 50% growth year for each of the next 2 years!

Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome. That’s the good news!
