FIRST STEPS TO MASSIVE PRODUCTIVITY 


Do you ever wonder why projects and tasks get stalled or never really get going in the first place?  And if "ACTION" means getting something done (and it means just that), why do we act on some things and not others?

THREE STEP SOLUTION


If everything starts with an idea - from doing laundry then folding and putting it away to building out and launching an idea for a product service or business - then an idea is where we'll start the process here.  Here are the three steps to apply to any idea or challenge:

1) Think it (you have the idea/concept)
2) Decide on it (decide what it means to you)
3) Act on it (you'll only act on something in direct proportion to what it menas to you)

ARE YOU INTOXICATED  


It seems that folks that are intoxicated by financial gain are usually overwhelmed by un-done, stalled, or  not fully started projects.  The "game" has to be more of a drive than the financial gain from something.  After all, if you don't complete something you don't have something to sell, and in the case of a pile of clean laundry, everything is wrinkled and you might be embarrassed when people come over and see the pile of clothes.

In any case, the important thing to determine is "What does IT mean to you."  Not what it means to someone else, not "what can I get out o this" - but what does it actually mean.  Here are a few point sto consider when deciding on whether you'll start and complete a particular "something:"

1) Is the game to make money?  If so, then you have to have something to sell so you have to complete the project.

2) Is the game to simply to complete a project?  If so, then you have to start and complete something to have a completed that thing.

3) Is the game to impress through having completed something?  If so, then you have to start and complete that something in order to show it off and impress.     

4) Is the game to build a portfolio of completed projects to market yourself?  If so, you have to start and then complete a project to display for marketing purposes.

The theme seems to be that you have to start, develop and then complete something, or get "something done" and your ahead of the game.  After all, it all really amounts to a game.

All the Best,
Scott Evans
