How To Go From Procrastinator To Producer

Posted by Chris on Jun 15, 2011 in Personal Development | 3 comments

“I am a Recovering Procrastinator”…or at least I used to think that I was. It may seem to be a bit of a stretch for some to go from procrastinator to producer, but I believe you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel once you’ve read through this content.

Recently, I had the very good fortune of  being invited by my friend Chris Kilber and introduced to a couple of dynamic individuals… Susan Sly and Erica Combs.  As we talked, I was invited to an online presentation hosted by Susan Sly, and featuring Jeffrey Combs. I’ve  blogged recently about this presentation on Facebook so I wont  go over old news. However it is because of that presentation, I  can honestly say that I’ve re-ignited a long-held dream.

If you are not yet acquainted with Jeffrey Combs, may I respectfully suggest that you should…. for so many valued reasons. Many people, he says, find his methods abrasive. But with having personally coached over 6,ooo  individuals over the last  10 years (with fees now in the neighborhood of $500.00/hr.) he must be doing something right!  I know from listening to him on the webinar that he has got the “goods”, so it was a “no-brainer” for me to purchase a set of his most popular success coaching audio CDs. ( www.goldenmastermind.com )

During Jeffrey’s webinar, I had found myself nodding in agreement one too many times, as he described various disempowering traits of many who seek success in different areas of their lives. I soon found out that he knows of what he speaks, having spent many “lost years” in a bottle or using drugs. First, to share those personal moments publicly, in order to encourage others is noble. But to do it without becoming evangelical about it, is really a gift to his audience.

The same thing applies as he talks about shedding the mantle of “procrastinator” and the blossoming of a “producer”.  His style is down-to-earth and I believe him to be genuine in his interest to help.  As I listen to  “Confessions of a Recovering Procrastinor” and “The Psychology of Asking”, I find that with some authentic effort on my part, I should consider myself a “Recovering Procrastinator”.

Procrastination, he tells us, is often a “control issue” because we can at least control our procrastination. He delves into the mind-body connection and identifies procrastination as the effect, as he also intimates the cause. Often times, he points out that we subconsciously set goals that are impossible to achieve, which then give us reason to procrastinate. Overcoming procrastination starts with understanding why you procrastinate. Jeffrey lays out 12 main reasons why we procrastinate and 6 keys to overcoming it.

Having the understanding that our unconscious mind listens verbatim to what we tell ourselves, Jeffrey tells us to take it a step further and leave the “procrastinator” handle behind. Instead as you start the work to overcome procrastination, tell yourself… “I am a Producer!”

WHAT’S WORKING NOW

WWN… “What’s Working Now” (@Magnetic Sponsoring) brings out the Real Deal tonight – Ray Higdon. Who else can really say that they’ve got the “feel” for what people (especially marketers) need. Something to help them… and in turn help himself go from broke to $50K /month in under a year.

Is this the busiest guy in Online and Network marketing? He goes from being pissed-off at his state of existence and turning around his sagging fortunes in the real-estate  industry and is now one of the darlings of the network marketing industry.

But it wasn’t without it’s challenges. After his self-admission of failing in a dozen enterprises, his determination to make abrupt changes in his life, as he says …’to leave “Loserville” or never to go back to “Suck-it Town”, ‘ has propelled him forward to “Star” status among network marketers. And with good reason.

There is a lot of hype in the online world. That’s simply a fact that can be disputed. It’s fraught with thinly-veiled promises of wealth for next to no effort. It has become easier to spot the bullshit after you’ve sampled a  few offerings.

Then along comes Ray Higdon. Here is a guy that you want to cheer for… a genuine, likable guy who has the best interests of his list at heart. His demeanor is steady and even, his delivery pleasant and non-threatening. How he ties it all together is the key to his success. Simply put… he DELIVERS!  Marketers are starved for reliable, good value, current  - content. It’s not rocket science… it’s awareness.

Ray tells us that it’s making the connections… the attraction marketing. that is behind his success, and I think if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find his passion for this “game”.  If you’re sinking in the vast sea of network marketing… among the 97% of online marketers who make NOTHING, You owe it to yourself to try to get the funds you need to start working with Ray… you’ll make your ROI. in very short order.

NO EXCUSES II

If You are in Network Marketing and You weren’t in Las Vegas this past weekend… then you probably missed out on the BEST venue for the Industry in quite some time. The program was put on by Ray & Ferny (Raymond Fong & Fernando Ceballos)  of SEO Networker… and by all accounts, they hit one out of the park!

There was an amazing line-up of talent presented at this venue… probably the BIGGEST concentration of Network Marketing SUPERSTARS  in one location… at one time… EVER!  The list of presenters was AWESOME :

Ray Higdon  -  Mark Hoverson  -  Norbert Orlewicz and Brian Fanale from MLSP  -  Jay Kubassek  -  David Wood  -  Justin Christianson  -  Tim Erway  -  Susan Sly  -  Paula Pritchard  -Diane Hochman  - Todd Falcone   –  Aaron Rashkin  -  Andrew Cass  -  Joey Klein   – Jackie Ulmer –  Mike Dillard

Now, I DIDN’T get to attend in person! However, I do think that I had the very best seat in the house! Ray & Ferny had a simulcast set up… a “LIVE” broadcast of the EVENT that was pretty much flawless!

The sound was excellent and apart from the occasional freeze frame, things went off without a hitch. I live in a very small town 3 hrs north of  Toronto, Canada and kept my fingers crossed that my DSL would hold out long enough for the broadcast.

It turns out that the DSL gods favoured me because it was perfect! While locally we had a power outage, I managed to take my laptop to a neighbouring area and watched it from a hilltop!

I have to say that I would be remiss if I didn’t give special accolades to TODD FALCONE who did double duty as MC…He was outstanding! You ROCK Todd!

I have never been to a Network Marketing event before and from the outset it didn’t look like I could make this one either. (I’m a care-giver for my step-dad.. and I have an immigration issue :>/ )  I was also going to be without internet access the day that this event was going to be opened up to purchase the “LIVE” broadcast tickets… so with a little pleading on my part, Ray & Ferny let me in early.

I only mentioned that out of GRATITUDE to those guys… Thank You Ray, Thank You Ferny… because I honestly feel that this event was a turning point for me. Not only in Network Marketing, but in relationships, self-confidence and “knowing” I am on the right track… just need to take the next step.

I found that when I was as isolated as I am, or thought I was, and without any previous experience, that I was soooooo far behind everyone else. But speaker, after speaker carried the same message…”You can do this….” . Their stories were different, but they all overcame HUGE obstacles to achieve success and reassured us all that they were not gifted with special talents we did not possess. However they did point out two or three qualities they felt you must possess…. FOCUS, DISCIPLINE,  and your reason “WHY?”

This was without a doubt the BEST event I’ve ever attended. It was content-rich, value packed… with the best training resources and tools that you could ask for. YES.. I am a NETWORK MARKETER…. there are NO EXCUSES!!
