Do you find yourself
with a brilliant idea like a wholesale shoes business only to be stalled by
none other than yourself? Do your plans always end up as nothing more than
plans? Are your pipe dreams left in the pipe? Can you see any fruition of your
to-do-list? There’s a huge chance you are one big procrastinator.
While it is true that
being confident in doing great things at the last minute and holding off
matters for later can have its advantages (are there?), the disadvantages of
procrastinating always end up outweighing them. The thing is, while you are
taking your sweet time delaying matters, someone may already be sneaking behind
you and doing the exact thing you are planning. In the end, you end up being
too late for the party!
For example, if you are
thinking of getting your plans of putting your shoes business online
and you keep on delaying it, there's a huge possibility that someone else
somewhere in the world also has the same idea, but is not wasting any time and
has his business website up tomorrow. While
you have finally mustered the motivation and urge to start your project, that
other businessman has already established a market. That's a good number of
customers less from you.
So, how can you avoid
procrastinating and have your wholesale business plans up and running before
anyone else beats you to it?
Here are some points to consider to be successful in the Shoe Industry:
- Procrastinators tend to delay mainly
because of being overwhelmed. Work
for them should be broken to smaller chunks.
If you find yourself
staring at a very long to-do list and thinking, "This is too much. Let me
have a vacation first," then snap out of it. Break down even your to-do
list into a more manageable list. Have 3 items on each piece of paper. You'll see
yourself more motivated because you are "on a roll" with finishing
your much shortened lists.
- Procrastinators tend to be easily bored. A change of environment can excite them.
Try to work somewhere
you will be "pressured" to. Go to a coffee shop or a library once in
a while where everybody is focused on working. You'll find yourself embarrassed
as you're just doodling around, wasting time. Besides, there's always something
new to look at in a different place, so that's something to make you less
bored.
