Formula to Just Do It

What if there were a formula you could apply that would end procrastination? Would you use it?
Let's say that every thought you have about doing something costs you 2 incules* of your personal energy. Meaning, if you think about going to the gym, it will cost you 2 incules of your life "juice" regardless if you go or not. Therefore, each time the primary thought of "I must go to the gym" comes up: ca-ching! Another 2 incules down the tubes. This energy is not available to be used in creative thinking, problem-solving, positive action, or enjoying your life, because it has instead been used in repetition of a thought.

Let's also say that actually embarking on a trip to the gym will cost you 20,000 incules of energy. Clearly, heading out the door will definitely take more energy than simply thinking about going-- a lot more. This might explain the temptation to delay, because who wants to spend more of anything than they have to?

But how many times will you eventually think about your aborted plans if you don't go? How many times would you have repeated not only the same unoriginal thought, but also other costly ones like, "Why haven't I gone?" or "I procrastinate"?

Since thoughts cross our mind at a rate of tens of thousands per hour, how much energy does thinking about doing something cost you, as opposed to simply doing it?

A caution here, please don't let the lure of analysis catch you by thinking that analysis produces energy. It too costs you, redeeming itself only if --and only if-- it results in new, fruitful decisions.

So will this formula work for you? Please test its validity for yourself. You can do this by thinking about doing something vs.actually doing it right away. Judge for yourself which approach ultimately costs you the most, and which approach holds the potential for building an energetic empire as well...

Sport: Formula 1 - Hi There, This year a new name arrived on the Formula One scene: Lewis Hamilton. He has had unparalelled success right in the first season of his racing career. There is just one race left and he stands to become World Champion. It is amazing. I used to watch the races in the past, now I tend to see the results and a little of the race. I think his driving colleague never anticipated for him to stand so often on the winners stage. Certainly his potential has been totally unlocked. Any comment about him from different angles. Kindest Regards Beat Mueller "Unlock People's Potentials!"
Racing car drivers - [quote:39rinmcm]This year a new name arrived on the Formula One scene: Lewis Hamilton. He has had unparalelled success right in the first season of his racing career. [/quote:39rinmcm] Car racing is not an activity I've ever gotten into... although rally car racing or "point to point" sounds kind of fun - I've never seen the point in driving around a circle 500 times... But, I'm always interested in people who do things well...especially when they're just starting out in their chosen profession. I'll check him out!
Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
Re: looking for experienced affiliate feedback - Affiliates will send you traffic and maybe pre-sell your product. Your job is to ensure the traffic they send converts well, so should have well optimized sales pages, with minimal traffic leaks, and be continually testing. You should also provide tools and ideas for affiliates to promote you. I am an affiliate (I promote other people's products) and drive a lot of sales for my partners. I expect good tracking tools/reporting from the affiliate (affiliate systems like clickbank are fine), I expect a decent commission, good communication from the affiliate program, and landing pages that convert. The trick if you run your own affiliate program is to reach out to successful affiliate marketers who have a large audience that they can push products too. Just signing up with clickbank or similar won't really help you. You need to go out and advertiser your affiliate program, and approach potential partners and sell it to them. Bear in mind successful affiliates get pitched to EVERY DAY so you will need to stand out. The course, Product Launch Formula will be really helpful for you.
