If you procrastinate ... read this immediately
refuse to waste another second
Hey man
Do you procrastinate?
Do you wait for the perfect time before taking action?
Do you have a project or a pursuit you’ve been putting off?
Procrastination isn’t the joke the internet makes it out to be.
Maybe you’ve spent literal years waiting to:
Start a one-person business doing what you love
Visit Japan
Compete in a triathlon
Or literally anything else worth doing
But the monotonous day-to-day grind pulled you back in, didn’t it?
The reason why this isn’t funny is that you aren’t getting those years back.
Ever.
I spoke to a guy yesterday who’s been procrastinating on starting his personal brand business since 2017.
At the time, he chose to pursue a more financially rewarding path…
But the tragic thing is…that didn’t work out either.
Fast forward to today, he’s wasted nearly 7 years pursuing something he hated just for money…and he’s still not where he wants to be financially.
“I often imagine where I would be today if I had just started back then,” he said.
I’m not telling you this just to fuck with you.
What I’m about to say is critical to your success and happiness.
If you think about the time you wasted so far and really feel the pain of that…
Then a fire will light in your belly.
Let that fire burn as you think about what you’re procrastinating on.
Now ask yourself …
“In 5 years, will I look back and feel the same pain of regret I feel now?
Or in 5 years, will I look back with pride and say “I did it.”
The choice is yours to make.
Not in a year. Or a month. Or a day.
Or later…
The decision is calling to you NOW.
But there’s a problem…
Once you’ve picked a path, you need to break it down into actionable steps or you’ll fall back into old habits again.
This is exactly why I created the ultimate practical step-by-step guide to becoming motivated and disciplined — by breaking down your journey ahead in a way that’s perfectly easy to grasp.
If you read this article and apply the steps — you will never need to read another book or article to get motivated ever again.
I’m deadly serious.
To your success, well-being and happiness brother.
