Overcoming Procrastination - Pretty Serious Stuff

I'm on a writing jag about overcoming procrastination right now. A couple of months ago, I was given a book called "The Procrastination Cure - 7 Steps to Stop Putting Life Off," by a guy named Jeffery Combs.

Now, Jeff is a motivational speaker and success coach who has more than 20 years experience in this stuff. And, in his book, he talks quite a bit about how he built up a hugely successful sales business (I'm pretty sure he was in an MLM or network marketing business, but I don't know which one).

Having had more than my share of network marketing experience (NONE of which I care to relive or ever participate in again, thank you very much), I can relate to how paralyzing procrastination can be. After all, who on earth WANTS to deliberately jeopardize friendships by asking people to hear your business presentation for whatever the product or program happens to be?

Trust me... I've lost friends over network marketing, and that really hurts. It won't happen again. (Yeah, I know... I can hear some of you saying "well, maybe they weren't true friends to begin with..." but, maybe they thought I wasn't being a true friend either.)

All sales stuff aside, Jeff Combs really lays it all out. He talks a lot about his own experiences - not all of them good.

Anyway, since Jeff Combs puts HIS heart on his sleeve for all the world to see... so did I. I just spent the better part of the day writing about this book.

And, in my narratives, I share a couple of painful things about the true and very tangible costs of procrastination.

Look... whether you are in business for yourself or not, if you EVER find yourself struggling with overcoming procrastination, I invite you to take a look at what I've written. There are a couple of places where I've talked about this book at my Self Development and Growth blog, and I invite you to check out any or all of what might be helpful to you.

YES, you can overcome procrastination. I'm not necessarily saying that Jeff's book is the end-all on the matter, but let me tell you this: He certainly got ME thinking! And more than that, he spurred me to ACTION.

ACTION is something I talk a LOT about at Self Development and Growth. And, although I'm not into network marketing at all anymore, I AM into online marketing - as you can see from my Bring the Fresh Experiences and Results blog here. And trust me when I tell you that the Procrastination Monster lives in the field of online marketing as well! :)

And it lives in every day-to-day life (as you'll see in a very painful example that I give).

So, because I'm getting a wee bit tired having spent the day wrestling with my demons, here are the articles that I hope you will find helpful (I've been told I'm a little... *ahem* anal about stuff, so forgive the cross-referencing here!):

Bring the Fresh and Make Money on the Internet from Home -Bring the Fresh Perspective!: Personal Bring the Fresh Update

Bring the Fresh and Make Money on the Internet from Home -Bring the Fresh Perspective!: Personal Bring the Fresh Update: Hi everyone! It's the start of a new month, and time to give you my personal Bring the Fresh update! I'm down in Florida for the winter...

I just wrote the above mentioned blog post at my Bring the Fresh review and personal experience blog (also here at Blogger).

I know I'm not bringing in a gajillion dollars like some other people might be, but when I saw my progress over this last month, I was pretty psyched!

I hope that you will also find it helpful if you happen to be an online marketer. Those of us in the Bring the Fresh program who also participate in the lively community forum tend to be more proactive, I believe. It's a terrific community, and I'm proud to be a member.

So, please read my post, and I hope that YOU will be inspired too! :)

Thanks for reading!

Songs I Love - My Life, Inspired by Music

All my life I have sung. Sung in the shower...Sung in the car. I still do. Actually, I sing ALL THE TIME! :)
I cannot help it.

I think it's a gift. But, besides JUST singing, I love SONGS. I recently wrote about some of the songs that have inspired me throughout the years, and have included them in my Squidoo lens entitled "Songs I Love - My Life, Inspired by Music =>Songs I Love - My Life, Inspired by Music

Please be my guest and take a look... let me know if you like my selection (although I know that some of it is a little esoteric!)

You'll hear a little Judith Durham (The Seekers), Joni Mitchell, Michael Oldfield (Moonlight Shadow), John Renbourn, Dan Fogelberg, Brothers Four... and even a madrigal! :)

At any rate, this was fun... so I hope you like it! :)

Planning Articles Submissions

It's been quite a while since I worked with this blog! And actually - there's a pretty good reason (and not just an excuse LOL!)...

Well, it turns out that some time ago, Blogger and Google changed the way we log into our blogger accounts. ALSO, I had inadvertently started ANOTHER blogger account with a different access email. Anyway, being the relative newbie that I was (I'm only marginally beyond newbieness, by the way), I got completely entangled and confused between the different accounts (which I somehow thought would link to one another...)

And THEN, they switched over to logging in via our Google Account emails instead of our blogger user name.

Now I was REALLY confused! To the point where I just said, "Oh, forget about it... maybe someday when I have a few minutes I'll try to figure this out..."

But, as you might imagine, someday turned into ... well... when, exactly WAS the last time I posted here? Hmmm!

So today I took the bull by the horns and said, "I AM going to figure this out!" And finally I did.

This time, I'll make a note of the information somewhere and hope it doesn't get caught in a pile of stuff that goes out to recycling...

But anyway, the actual and original intention of this particular post is to share something I just wrote and posted over at Squidoo - my new lens about Planning Articles Submissions. I have long been a proponent of using article marketing as part of my overall affiliate marketing campaigns, and I'm sharing my thoughts with you here. Please have a look, and feel free to comment!
