Myron Golden says procrastination isn't the real problem, it's a symptom. The actual issue is anxiety outweighing anticipation. Shift the balance toward what you're looking forward to, and you act immediately.
Nobody has a procrastination problem. Procrastination is not a problem. Procrastination is always the symptom to a problem.
I'm Dr. Myron Goldman. It's been a pleasure talking to you. Do things for one reason and one reason only and that is because they feel like it. Fear is caution over a real and present danger. The reason that people say no to you when you're making them an offer is because you created more anxiety in them than you have anticipation. My motivation? Your motivation. The motivation of our children, our spouses, our business partners, those people that we negotiate in business with. All of us are motivated by our feelings. Anticipation gives you energy to do the thing. How do you get the people that you are selling to to buy now? How do you get your children to clean their room now? How do you get your children to do their homework now? How do you get. How do you get the person that you're in love with to be in love with you now? How do you get yourself to eat the things that are going to serve you now? How do you get yourself to move your body the way that's going to make you strongest? Now that is a good question. I'm not going to distract myself by watching a football game game or a basketball game. I'm not going to anesthetize myself watching other people in the electronic income reducer live their dreams while I'm living a nightmare. What I'm going to do instead is I'm going to go to work on the thing that's going to work for me. And I know it's going to work because I'm going to make it work.
Find the answer to that question. We will have unlocked the master key to influence.
