I also sometimes use horses, dogs, a full time, and a part time job as an excuse. Needed a good swift kick in the butt, I guess. Time to get started on that first eBook!

Well done, great topic and obviously something that most people can absolutely relate to-well count me in at any rate.
Here’s to a great distraction free 2010!
Best wishes
Mike

Some good advice. To anyone, making that first sale is THE moment. I can’t say rinse and repeat, but just try and keep to a plan and follow it.

You make some really good points. I spent most of last year trying to do too much and really achieved very little.

After spending the Christmas holiday period in chill out mode, I gave myself a really good talking to.

On 1st January I set out a business plan for the year…

Everyday I work on my online business, Everyday I come one step closer to where I want to be… in fact I feel like I have already achieved more this year than I did in the whole of 2009.

I will continue to work on my business everyday!

Sound advice Dan, great post
cheers
Steve

I totally agree with you about getting on with business-“24″ would be a major distraction for me …

Thanks for a timely reminder and great motivation!

Mike

Nice to meet you on John’s blog. Procrastination can be our enemy, yes I agree, however no offence so can kids, work and husbands! I am a mum trying to create a business online, while raising my 2 year old, often being the sole provider for my family as well as the cooking etc etc etc. So yes procrastination and finding other tasks is a good one to use as excuses for not getting tasks done, however being a mum that has to multi task to get the job done I find writing lists plastering them every where and then ticking the tasks done the off the list with lots of chocolate as reward is what works for me!! 😆

Great post! 😛

Cheers

Jacinta 😀

This post is so so true as I have been doing nothing at all of late, I have been watching video’s but not taking action. This is a great post and I will have to get more done.

You just put into words the what holds so many of us back from achieving our goals. What we all have to keep in our minds is how good we feel when we’ve actually done something that takes our business forward.
So do these things on your list, get a mental lift and them spend a little time on the non productive stuff – but no too long.
Even leaving comments on other people’s blogs can be productive in driving extra traffic.
Stick with the three word mantra – Do It Now!
Must go – promised John I’d stick with it this year.
Best regards
Doug

Great post, I can relate too exactly what you’re saying. I’ve just started oout in the IM niche and there are so many things to do, I dont know where to start. The sensible thing is to start with what’s going to make money, but until recently, I was’nt doing that. I was spending time checking out products, going through e-mail, twittering etc etc.

As Rob said, we do need to be tougher on ourselves.I have recently changed my desktop background to a text document that simply reads “don’t put of to tomorrow, what can be done today”

Anyway must go things to do.
Cheers
Julian
