How to Eliminate Procrastination

Hello there and welcome to Six Minutes. I was at a luncheon meeting the other day
and a good friend of mine said, Bob, have you ever had a problem with
procrastination? and I said, Not for a long time. And I said, I dont know if I ever
really did, but I said, I can tell you how to solve it if youve got one.

In Napoleon Hills book Think and Grow Rich, he wrote an entire chapter on Decision.
And he pointed out that all the real highly successful people, this is in some pretty
serious research he found that all the highly successful people made decisions very
fast, and then changed those decisions very slow, if and when they change them at all.
Now he said, The people that dont make it, make decisions very slow, and change
them fast and often. Thats called procrastinationmaking decisions very slow.

See, the opposite of decision is procrastination and if youre putting things off, putting
them off, putting them offits because youre not making decisions. Start right now
and say (Bob snaps his fingers), If Ive got that problem, its going. Im going to start
making decisions fast. Take and read that chapter in Think and Grow Rich by
Napoleon Hill. And if you talk to anybody that has a problem with procrastination, share
that with them, theyll thank you for it. Spend a few minutes playing with that idea right
now.
