We are getting towards the end of the year, a period in which many people generally leave everything they wanted to do until the following year. People who want to lose weight will say "I will start my diet only after Christmas and New Year Day celebrations". People who want to change their jobs will say "I will do so next year". The same goes to people who want to start new businesses. The list goes on and on and on. Putting up what you can do today to a future date is called procrastination. Procrastination is a killer to whatever your plans may be.
When we procrastinate, we postpone actions which could have turned us into success. Success does not come to people who know what to do, rather, it comes to those who execute. No matter how intelligent or articulated or strategic you are, there is no success unless there is execution. Secondly, there is no formula you can apply that can lead you success. Success requires a lot of trial and error until you get there. Therefore, you cannot assume you know what to do and any time you start doing it, you will reach success.
Some people procrastinate because of fear of facing the reality. Others do it as a result of the natural equilibrium process which hold a lot of people back. Others still do it because of lack of a strong vision. In order to overcome procrastination, think about being at a place where you want to be. What would it be like if you are there? How would your life change? How would the people around you see you? After asking yourself these questions, you should stop procrastinating and take action immediately!
