Some Great Tips from Brian Tracy...

Here's a great tidbit from Brian Tracy. No matter how old or how young, any/all of these steps can change your life!


How to Avoid Procrastination

In his powerful book Eat That Frog, Brian Tracy gives us this important perspective:

There is a powerful formula for setting and achieving goals that you can use for the rest of your life. It consists of seven simple steps. Any one of these steps can double and triple your productivity if you are not currently using it.

  • Step one: Decide exactly what you want.
  • Step two: Write it down.
  • Step three: Set a deadline on your goal; set sub deadlines if necessary.
  • Step four: Make a list of everything that you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal.
  • Step five: Organize the list into a plan.
  • Step six: Take action on your plan immediately.
  • Step seven: Resolve to do something every single day that moves you toward your major goal.

Clear, written goals have a wonderful effect on your thinking. They motivate you and galvanize you into action. They stimulate your creativity, release your energy, and help you to overcome procrastination as much as any other factor.
