Anyone got the cure to magic bullet syndrome?

I'm quoting myself now...sheesh.

Seriously Andrew, take action now, even if you don't feel like it. And keep doing it. After awhile it'll become habit, and success will follow.

How many "upsell's" and "no exit pop ups" do you offer? If it's more than 5 I'm not interested.

Hi Andrew,

guess what . You are not the only one who has this syndrome. I used to suffer from it big time.

The way that I got over it is by getting a mentor. By doing so I had a plan to work on and that alone avoided many distractions as I was always focusing on the job had to do and knew that when that task was ready I will be given another one by my mentor.

Turn off the computer and grab a notepad. Write all your goals. Then strategy. Then tactics to accomplish.

Once that's done. Set a time to do those tasks.

Finally turn on the computer. Don't check your email until you finish your tasks for the day or allotted time.

In general my most productive times are when I'm too busy to think about anything else but the immediate task at hand.

Some of the most intelligent people suffer from this.

Why? Because the most intelligent people tend to over think things.

Usually this happens because:

• You're worried about the quality of your product. You want to learn more to make the product better.
• You have too many ideas flowing and can't concentrate on one at a time.
• You don't have a clue where to start.
• You're plain lazy.

In my opinion the best way around this is to get yourself a good mentor. One who actually gives a sh*t about you succeeding.

A good mentor might not be cheap but will be worth their weight in gold. Will point you in the right direction if that is what you're lacking or simply hold you accountable for what you do if you're just lazy.

A good mentor is like a good manager in offline business. They will know how to get the best out of you.

Hello, Andrew ...

Paulie888 recommended The Pomodoro Method, and I would second that.
There's a free ebook you can download that explains how to use it.

It's the brainchild of one Francesco Cirillo, who "takes companies, teams and
individuals to the next level of productivity in a way that's satisfying and fun."

Cirillo has also developed "The Klog," where all elements are seemlessly
integrated into one cohesive whole ... see in particular his "social map" ...

Tony Robbins said once that he believes there's no such thing as a
lazy person. There's just people with uninspiring goals.

Not everyone responds to The Protestant Ethic ... "I get up every morning
and wash my neck and go off to work. What's the matter with you, that
you can't do the same?"

Some people hear a different drummer ... maybe you're one of them.

I knew a guy once who tried a list of ways as long as your arm in an effort
to make money and get out of the slums in the city where he lived. His
family kept saying, "Why don't you just get a job in the Post Office?"

One day when we were just kicking back, I happened to mention the idea
of getting under contract vacant land that was "in the path of progress"
and offering it to a developer for 50% of the ultimate selling price, once
an engineering firm had completed all the feasibility studies and gotten
all the appropriate permits.

It's rather a complex model on the developer's end, but for the bird dog
it's pretty simple, and he took to it like a duck takes to water. His end
of it, when all the dust settled, was $50 million dollars!

He could have made the full $100 million if he'd been in a position to
cash out the original owner and fund the feasibility study, but he wasn't,
so he jv'd with a real estate investor, who in turn sold it to a developer,
who in turn built a shopping center with a WalMart in it and probably
made billions.

If you're wondering whether my friend "retired" on his millions, the answer
is no, he didn't. He'd found his métier, you see. He'd discovered that he
*loved* making things *happen* ... that he had a special talent for
bringing together two parties who each had something the other needed.

When it comes to business opportunities -- including but not limited to
internet marketing ones -- there's a couple of key questions to ask:
(1) how much is this thing gonna cost me; and (2) what do I gotta
*do* to make all this money?

Maybe you don't *want* to do what you gotta do!
Maybe you'd rather do something *else* !!!
In which case, the sooner you find out what it is, the better.

Most people don't know what they want;
they just know that what they got ain't it!

A little trick I've used very successfully with certain clients is this:

Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle.
Up at the top of the left column, write "Don't Want"
and write "Do Want" at the top of the right column.

Then list on the left all the things you don't want or don't like.
You can even include some things you hate!
When you're done doing that, put the paper in a drawer.

Tomorrow, take it out of the drawer and, item by item, write down
on the right side whatever the *opposite* is of the thing on the left
that you don't want or don't like.

It may twist your brain a bit to do this in some cases, but persevere.
The finished list, when you fold back the left side of it out of sight,
may very well surprise you. There may be more information there
about what you really want -- and what you're really good at --
than you've ever had in one place before.

Somewhere in that list of what you really want and what you're
really good at will be the kernel of an idea that will make your fortune,
as much because you'll be inspired to pursue it as for any other reason.

When you are "in spirit" things seem almost effortless,
whereas when you are "in ego" they seem laborious.

That's how you can tell whether or not you're on the right path for you.
