Pre-crastination, a tool for business owners

Follow Dave on LinkedIn

Procrastination is a way of life for the chaotic business owner. Big ideas, small execution. But the focused entrepreneur knows that putting off tasks is just off-putting.

Today my super snappy small business slice shows you how to defeat procrastination with PRE-crastination. (See what I did there?)

How well are you pre-crastinating?

Now most people pro-crastinate. They push things off till the very end. I had a client once tell me: “If it wasn’t for the last minute, I’d never get anything done.”

Well, I’d like to flip that around and say instead “If it wasn’t for the first minute, I’d never get anything done.”

Think of something that’s difficult, that’s painful that you’ve been putting off for a long time. You’ve been procrastinating. And think about the first minute of activity for that item.

For instance, what if you need to create a budget for your small business? It’s a difficult task. The first minute is opening your accounting software.

Try it right now. In the comment section below, share one thing that you’ve been putting off and share just the first minute of activity. And then calendar that first minute.

Also, if you’ve got a question that you’d like me to answer in a future video, ask that below as well.

Thanks for watching. Now go start at the very beginning.
