Stop Procrastinating | 2 Simple Steps to Hit Your Goals

After a boot camp in Newport, RI, the presenter noticed people still procrastinating despite their excitement. Two steps work: pick one delayed task with real potential and do it today, then get obsessed with improvement itself as your fuel. Stop waiting.

Okay. Welcome to this week's Motivational Monday. This was sparked by our recent In the Trenches boot camp that we just held here in the office in Newport, Rhode Island. And I thought, you know what, I want to get this out to the entire Wicked Smart community via YouTube so that you also can benefit from it. Now, a lot of people said that that was like day 1 and 2, and I came in day 2 and I did a gut check. I said, well, wait a minute, guys, I'm not seeing everybody take action. Yet on some of my suggestions, like the homework at night and some of the things we do together. Yet you all said this, and I repeated the 3 things. And what I was getting by the 3rd day from some people, not from everyone, was, well, you know, for right now I'm going to have to do this. For right now I have to clean up this. For right now I got to pay off this. For right now I got all these things right. First of all, nothing's going to change between now and whenever that, that excuse was. That's all it is, unless you do. So putting something off is just a surefire way to never do it, right? Never do it. So suggestion for you, real simple. Number one, take action on something— like I'm talking today, guys— take action on something that you've been putting off, but you absolutely know without a doubt that it could be amazing if perhaps you did it and if perhaps it worked for you, right? You know, you kind of get that inkling, but you just haven't even put it off, right? So take action on something. Second, get obsessed. I love using that word internally with our team to get obsessed with the idea of you getting better, because the process of getting better is the fun part. I can tell you now in hindsight, get obsessed and excited about the future, you, not about anyone else. Like a lot of times on a podcast, somebody will say, you know, who inspires you or what do you get excited about? And I started saying, I get excited about where I'm headed and where the team's headed and the company's headed and the Wicked Smart community. That's what I get excited about. So I'm inviting you guys to get excited about it. Not sure where to get started? Go to smartrealestatecoach.com/getgoing for free books, strategy calls, and a whole bunch more.
