I watched an Oliver Roland’s video and I learned good stuff.
At the beginning when I started my blog, I had difficulties to be regular in writing articles. I wasn’t productive. But procrastination is often a big problem for entrepreneurs.
Here are some strategies that help me and will help you to evolve your project every day. These are strategies that you can use today, they’re simple
Everyone must know your project
Talk about your project to all people you know, even people you meet from time to time. A maximum of people needs to understand your project. Talk to your family, friends, schoolmates, co-workers, employees of places where you go often, your cat/dog/red fish, etc.
Talk about your project in your social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. In this way, people from different countries will know that you’re working on an important project for you.
What will happen is that when you meet these people, they’ll ask you how your project is progressing. At the beginning, you’ll probably find excuses to explain why your project doesn’t advance but you’ll quickly realize that it’s embarrassing to invent excuses.
It’s normal to have that feeling because no one wants to look stupid in front of people. Now that you don’t want to look stupid in front of people, it creates a new external motivation, a positive external pressure that will help you to evolve your project.
Make A Challenge
You can find a friend who also wants to create a blog or a company and both you make a challenge. Make a prize for each challenge. For example, the first who publishes 4 articles in his/her own blog, the loser must pay a restaurant or a concert (showcase) to the winner. Regularly each one checks the evolution of the other and once the challenge is over, you make another challenge.
A regrettable donation
You make a check or fill out a donation form for an association or a political party that you don’t like at all. You really have to hate the beneficiary of the donation. You give the check or the donation form to one of your best friend. If at the precise date you didn’t make your project evolve as planned, your friend sends the money to the beneficiary. It has to be minimal $100.- because it has to be painful. You want to do everything to avoid this.
These strategies allow you to have something more in your state of mind to realize your project. A plus to boost your will effectively.
