Yet most people don't understand where procrastination comes from.

Procrastination is defined as the action of postponing something, usually a task we want to avoid.

According to many social scientists, procrastination occurs when a person has a challenge with "emotional self-regulation."

When we associate boredom, anxiety, fear or frustration with a certain task, we tend to avoid doing it.

The problem is, putting off those tasks that seem awful at the moment only causes stress and more than a little self-loathing when we are faced with the consequences.

How to stop procrastinating right now

To quit procrastination and take action, you'll want to identify the negative feelings & false beliefs associated with implementing marketing and fitness business operating systems into your business.

If you want to increase your revenues, profits, and happiness with your business, but you keep putting it off... there are probably some underlying negative emotions and false beliefs.

These are some of the most common reasons for procrastination:

Lack of Clarity - You don't have a clear vision, values, purpose, strategic objectives for our business. Most clients we meet initially don't want to take the time to do this work, but this is the core reason you are frustrated with your progress. Without clarity and purpose, you are a wandering dog looking for a home.  Worst of all, if you have a team, it can be a root cause to poor leadership.  A good strategic management systems is essential.  It's a leadership system, that's foundation to high-performance organizations.

Perfectionism - You won't be perfect, so give yourself permission to embrace imperfection.

The simple awareness of what's behind the procrastination can help you break old habits.

Next, use strategies that empower you to be a dedicated action taker. Give any of the following strategies a shot:

1. Accept and forgive yourself for any past procrastination. All it means is you're human and you didn't yet have the right strategies or identify what emotions or beliefs are holding you back.  

These strategies are simple... and that's exactly what makes them so effective.

Go win the day!
