Your personal development is depending on how you deal with certain obstacles.  The major obstacles that you need to overcome to clear your brain are procrastination.   Procrastination renders your desire to succeed in your life and business ineffective. Procrastinating is the opposite of decision. When people procrastinate productivity becomes non-existent.  The pain of discipline weighs ounces while the pain of regret weight pounds. Overcoming procrastination is a much easier way to achieving success.   Excuses are monument of inadequacy; therefore you should not excel in them.  There are six main excuses why people procrastinate.

6 Excuses why people procrastinate:

1. You’re Bored.

When you life become routine and you just go through the motion. When the initial enthusiasm of investing in their personal development wears off, most people need a new challenge.  You must ask yourself these simple questions.  Am I bored with what I’m Doing?  Why am I bored?  What would give me more energy?  You must recognize that you are bored and be very aware of your feelings.  Successful people look for bigger and better opportunities to keep their juices flowing.  The appeal of routine personal development strategies is never something they will settle for.  Personal development requires that you read books, listen to CD etc. and the overall process is time consuming.

2. You are overwhelmed with work.

Personal development forces you to prioritize your commitments.  Too many irons in the fire may lead you to procrastinate.  When you let things pile up by putting it off to the next day. You become clueless on how to get your assignments completed.  Once you are inefficient, then procrastination becomes it twin.  There are simple steps that you may take to overcome being overwhelmed.  A decisive person moves from one task to other quickly because they do not want to leave anything for later.  You become more self-empowered when you are able to balance your life as well as your other endeavors.

3. Your confidence has slipped.

Procrastination leads to fear and doubt.  When you are not sure that you have the ability to do a job, inaction occurs.  Doubting yourself makes your confidence slip.  When your confidence lessen, then that old beliefs systems start to creep into your mind.   Your thoughts dictate your destiny.  If your thoughts are negative, then your future will be negative.

4. You have a low self-worth

Low self esteem is a fall out from your confidence slipping.  When you have low self-worth you sometimes sabotage your success the closer you get to it. You feel like you don’t deserve success which may be due to a negative beliefs system or a traumatic past. If you have a self fulfilling prophecy, then the words you give attention, desire and focus will come back to you. Success in your life and business is only for those who truly want it.

5. You are doing work you don’t really enjoy.

Successful people do what unsuccessful people don’t do.  Your business sometimes requires that you do mundane tasks, such as paperwork.  These tasks are sometimes a necessary part of your business.  The best thing to do is focus on the things that you are great at and outsource the rest.  You will never enjoy everything that you do so you must find the right balance.

6. You are easily distracted, or just downright lazy!

This is the number one proponent for procrastination.  If you looking for an excuse not to do something, then you have no problem procrastinating.  Success takes consistent and persistent action and laziness has no rightful place in the equation.

Procrastination is a major killer to your personal development.  The previous 6 things discuss are the main reasons why people excel in procrastination.  When people become proficient in procrastinating, then they are guaranteed to fail in their life and business.  There are many ways to overcome procrastination, but the best way is to apply consistent and persistent actions without reservation.  Personal development is only as good as the effort that you put into it.

There are many advertisements on the internet that states grow your home business on autopilot with a system. These companies seem to be selling a “lazy” way to increase your wealth.  You can grow your home business by using some simple strategies.  You might have a great website, capture page, blog etc. but if you don’t have a call to action.  You must ask your potential business partner to do business with you.  You may ask your potential business partners for their business using seven different methods.

The 7 different ways to ask are listed below:

1. Ask for information.

The best way to find out information is to ask questions, and then listen attentively to the answers.  You must not anticipate what you think the person is going to say and answer as soon as possible.  Listening is a dying art that we must all revive.  The main objective here is to focus on helping the person that you are meeting with and not have dollars signs in your eyes.  The type of questions you asked should begin with who, why, what, where, when and how to acquire the information you need.

2. Ask for business.

There are a vast majority of salespeople who are scared to ask for the order.  The actual number of salespeople is 60% that after doing a complete presentation of their product or service never attempt to “close” the sale.  A kid is the best salesperson that you will ever meet.  When kids want something they will ask you again and again until the end of time to get it.

3. Ask for written endorsements.

Testimonials are one of the best ways to give yourself instant credibility.  These testimonials state that you are a trustworthy person who delivers what you promise.  People always want to feel like the person they are about to enter a partnership with is tried and true.

4. Ask for top-quality referrals

Referrals are automatic testimonial that state that a “friend” have looked at your product or service and they felt that you were worthy enough to give you another “friend” name.  They will look at your product or service more readily, than if you had cold call them.

5. Ask for more business.

You must have different things for sale.  It is always cheaper to keep a client, than it is to go out and acquire a new one.  The Business  Model of people like Tony Robbins is to bring you in at lower level products and then offer you an incremental higher cost seminar on a regular basis.

6. Ask to renegotiate.

When you think you are getting the best deal, you come to realize that it can be better.  For example if you think are paying the best rate on your car insurance for many years does not mean you can’t pick up the phone and ask for a better rate.

7. Ask for feedback.

This is probably the scariest one of them all because people fear criticism.  When you ask for feedback you are trying to find out how you can improve your company.  You may be surprise how many new ideas could come from your clients.

You will improve the revenue of your home business simply by applying the 7 ways above.  People are using the internet to move further away from the selling process but asking is the way that some of the greatest corporations have been built.  No sale is made until someone asks for the order.  If you don’t ask then your potential business partner will continue to do what they have always done.  If you continue to do the same thing you have always done then you will get the same results.

The people who are looking for a get rich quick scheme will continue to do so.  The people who will improve their home business the true and tried ways will continue to strive way ahead of the others.  You may use the above 7 ways to increase your bottom line revenue in your home business.

There are 6 confidence building concepts that are simplistic in nature.  These concepts will give you outstanding results in your home based business.  A lack of confidence can make even the strongest person weak.  Samson’s strength was in the length of his hair, therefore giving him the confidence to lift any object placed before him.  When his hair was cut off, his amazing strength was gone.  He lost his strength even though he had the same physical body structure.  When you look back at this story was the strength in his hair or his mind.  ”The Power of Focus” by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt discusses 6 confidence building strategies to implement in your life and business.

These 6 strategies are listed below:

#1:  Focus on your past accomplishments and not your failures. If Samson looked at the things that he lifted in the past, then he would never have had a problem lifting the same items the same day his hair was cut.  You could coach yourself the same way you would if your had a friend with a challenge.

#2: Our personality is formed due to the books that we read and the people who we meet.  You must read inspirational stories in the form of biographies and autobiographies.  You may always find comfort in knowing that you are not the only one that faces challenges.  You will always have ups and downs in your life so accept that fact.  A life without challenges is a life that is not worth living.  The right mindset will allow to win challenges more than you lose.

#3: Gratitude is something that is very difficult to have when the chips are down.  You must be thankful because no matters how badly off you are there is always someone in a worse predicament than you.  If you don’t believe that then go and volunteer in a hospital.  Your issues will pale in comparison to the ill fortune of other people you meet in your life.

#4:  A masterminding group of mentors, friend and family will be instrumental in regaining your confidence.  The people who know you will be able to remind you of the accomplishments that you have achieved in the past.  It is not bragging if someone other than you is giving the praises.  This will even further emphasizes the people who you remain in your inner circle and the ones that you should let go.

#5:  The best way to get back on track is to get things done.  You should start by first setting some short term goals and finishing them.  The one thing that will defeat you is self talk, don’t beat yourself up if everything does not go as planned.  You must continuously focus on the overall picture of success in your home based business opportunity.

#6:  We must celebrate our accomplishment every week to add continuity to gaining our confidence back.  When you accomplish a goal on your goal sheet instead of crossing it off highlight it.

If after going through these 6 steps and your confidence is not fully restored, then go back to step #1 and start all over again.  Life is made of cycles so when you are in the valley you must do whatever it takes to get to the mountains.  When you are working your home based business you will face similar circumstances.  You must have an attitude of a continuous and never ending desire to be successful.
