Just Do it anyway

Hi All

Very quick encouragement:


The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. And then, guess what? After you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.
-- John C. Maxwell

Was listening to Chris the other day and was inspired to write a quick note here.


Many people starting in business have this same issue with getting started in business, even IMG/TW: Man, I need to start working on business today, but I need to have all my business cards ready, I need to have all my flyers ready, I need to have files where I can record those things, I need to just quickly get some pens at some shop. Oh, OK. Now it is soapie time, I mean, I can not miss my soapie tonight. Oh, man, I am really tired tonight, I think I will just start working tomorrow then. Wow, that was such a good sleep, oh, my it is already 10AM. Today I am going to build the business. Phone rings, your mother inviting you for coffee for the 3rd time this week. You are off to have breakfast with mom and then come back and then realized you have to go do some shopping. So you come back after 2 hours and make some supper, after watching the soapie. Shall I build my business today??? Oh, well. I have 30 minutes, so let me play some Playstation3 just to help me relax my mind. Oh, gosh. Did not realize that the 30 minutes turned into 4 hours. Man, I am so tired, think I will just build my business tomorrow. Good morning world, still tired from playing so late last night, but today is going to be a good day. Get on Facebook and Chat is down. Why Lord, on the day that I set my mind to work on the business does this happen to me? Oh, Great, Chat is back again, but once I become successful I will drive a very nice car, so I need to get some more motivation and meditate and see myself rich. So, after 3 hours of sitting in front of the computer looking at few sentences for some motivation, I get up and then take a short nap, cause a person needs to rest and sleep a bit when you working for yourself.


I think you get the point. This is bit far fetched, but some people do struggle to get started. My encouragement:

Just do it

I don't feel like chatting today: Just do it anyway
I do not like shooting videos: Just do it anyway
I am not in the mood of adding 50 people on Facebook today: Just do it anyway
I have spoken to so many people and many of them have spoken to IMG members before: Just do it anyway.
I have not written out my goals yet: Just do it anyway

Have an awesome day and Just do it anyway
