Do What You Said You Were Going To Do

Do you open up your email inbox, read the emails and then think to yourself, “I’ll just reply later?” And then 50% of the time we never reply with our follow-up email?

Why does this happen so much? Well if you want to know the real reason, it is mainly because a lot of us simply lie to ourselves. Think lying to others is bad? How about lying to yourself, that is just as bad, if not worse.

For example, we are lying to ourselves every time we say we are going to do something and we don’t do it. The reason we accidently lie to ourselves in most cases like this is because we generally try to do way more than we actually can do. For instance, you get 10 emails, you tell yourself, “Oh I’ll reply to them later.” In good faith, you do honestly intend to reply to them later, however, later on you have a less chance of replying to the emails, especially the somewhat unimportant looking emails.

What happens later is that some of them done get replied, and as you told yourself earlier you would reply to your emails, we didn’t, and we lied to ourselves. We lied to our self because we tried to do too much than we actually could do, and then of course we failed at it because we set unrealistic goals that couldn’t be accomplished.

Lie to yourself enough, and you’ll become a liar. I’m sure we’ve all been there, lying to ourselves, telling ourselves were going to do things and then they just don’t get done. Soon it gets bad and whenever you tell someone your going to do something, it generally never happens. How many times have we told someone we would do something, and then don’t? Ouch, to many of those and your in trouble.

Hey, I’m not perfect either, but I do try to remember, to do stuff, and I will say No, I can’t do this because I know it can’t get done, so I won’t lie to myself telling myself I can get it done when honestly I won’t be able to. So lets be honest. To ourself. Be honest to yourself and get the things you said you want to get done, done. The more we fumble the weaker we get, and the worse we become at getting thing dones.

That’s why I like to say, if you set goals month after month, and they don’t happen. I bet none of your goals are hit. Your goals just become words and fun things to think about, but nothing gets done, there is no momentum, there is no accomplish. It is just one weak goal after another, over and over again. And then nothing gets done.

I’ve taken a very long time to practice goal settings, what if I told you I could consisntely hit every goal on target, every time over and over? You know when your good at goals when you say your going to do something, and you make it happen on the day your going to do it. Then you make another goal and it is done exactly when you said it would be. Then you gain momentum and nothing can stop you. Is it possible to hit 100% of your goals, 100% of the time? I tell you yes it is.

Stop failing goals. Start hitting goals, every time. Can you do it, it’s not hard, and that’s why most people aren’t where they are in life. Let’s stop lying to ourselves, and lying to other people. Get consistent at being on-target, every-time. I have seen so many people doom themselves because they always say their going to do this and that, never do it, and they cycle into a negative momentum of never accomplishing any goals over and over. There words become weaker at each failed attempt and they ultimately give up because they aren’t doing what they said they would.

Do what you said you were going to do. A very simple concept, like focus. But it is extremely hard to do. Try not to lie to yourself even just today, and you’ll see how difficult it is. Say your going to do something, and do it.

And think with me for a second. If you actually mastered the simple concept of being honest and doing what you said you would do, you would have everything in life you wanted. If you are like the rest of the 250,000,000 people in America who say their going to do something and then don’t do it, you’ll live an average life style. One simple concept, one person does it, the rest do not.

Do what you said you were going to do.

And do it fucking now:

When it comes to building your business, there are 4 words that should be echoing in your mind throughout the day; they are “Do it Fucking Now.”

We’re not talking about checking your stats or chatting with your buddies on Instant Messenger. We’re not talking about checking your RSS reader incessantly throughout the day. And we’re not talking about surfing MySpace, Digg, Fark, Television or some other time waister.

We’re talking about developing your online properties. We’re talking about creating new campaigns to drive links and revenue. When we say “Do it Fucking Now”, we’re talking about those tasks that you keep putting off which, when completed, will start putting more money in the bank.

Do it Fucking Now.

Don’t wait. Don’t procrastinate. The winners in this world are not the ones who find the greatest excuses to put off doing what they know will make them more money. The winners are the ones that prioritize and seize the day.

Create a list of action items to make sure your important tasks get accomplished. Every project you’re working on should be in action. If you’re not moving, you’re standing still. Your next step towards making money must not be “something I’ll take care of maybe sometime next week.” If it’s going to help make you money: Do it Fucking Now.

Some of you may think that you don’t need the “fucking” in “do it fucking now”. You do. You need that impact, that force, that call to action and mostly, that kick in the ass to get you moving. Otherwise, you’ll end up another loser that had a great idea a long time ago but never did anything about it. Dreamers don’t make money. Doers make money. And doers “Do it Fucking Now.”

This passage is truer today than when it was written more than 400 years ago:

There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose the ventures before us.
- William Shakespeare, Julias Ceasar
Cliffnotes of quote for the Shakespearean impaired

Try it. Next time you have an inclining to procrastinate on a task that you know will make you money, say those magic words out loud and get inspired!

Do it Fucking Now.
