I'll Do It Tomorrow
We assume we'll have tomorrow.
In our personal lives, we put off things like laundry, paying the bills, cleaning out that nasty kitchen drawer - until tomorrow. I personally put off laundry for as long as I can....
We do the same in business when it comes to prioritizing actions. We choose the comfortable things, things we know how to do as our first choice. We'll begin an exciting new endeavor as a first priority as well. But we put off facing that sticky situation, digging into that gnawing problem until another day. Maybe we think that if we wait one more day, we won't have to face that tough but necessary decision.
* We don't fire that problem child who's fighting us at every step - vocally and publicly. We hold onto the hope that they'll change and we won't have to be the bad guy.
* We make excuses for our declining product value. Maybe if we add more ‘freebies' we can make our favorite baby more attractive again.
* We don't walk away from that all-important customer, the one that sucks our resources dry. We don't know if we'll have a customer to replace them for tomorrow.
Waiting for tomorrow is no way to prioritize.
If I told you that today was your last day to make a business decision for the next year - what would you do? What if I told you there wouldn't be a tomorrow unless you made the right decisions today? Would that change your priorities? I bet it would.
Think about it this week. Pay attention to the things you put off till tomorrow, next week, next month. Then ask yourself "If today were my last chance to save my business what would I do first? If it were my last chance to capture that opportunity, what would I do?"
We all procrastinate about little things. It's the big things that need attention - today. As Victor Kiam said, "Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin."
