There’s a great little easy-to-read success book by Brian Tracy called "Eat That Frog!" (find it on Amazon ) that’s based around an old saying (2 actually – but this one matters most to this post)…
"If you have to eat two frogs, eat the ugliest one first!"
Don’t panic – I haven’t lost it completely, and there most certainly IS a "Little Big Difference" to be had here…
‘Eating the frog’ is about getting done first the things that matter most …
This of course is one of the many things that sounds completely logical in the real world, but turns into a fairy story inside 99% of our slightly warped human brains (or at least the male ones!
)…
Because for many aspiring, business-building, solo entrepreneurs the most important tasks of the day are often the things we might least like doing and leave until last -
The all-important cash-accelerating activities often get mysteriously swapped for more ‘urgent’ desires like…
- surfing the Internet for Xmas presents or other "important research"
- hopping on to read pointless posts from pointless people* on your favorite forums for an hour (or three)
- giggling at the latest stupid-head who’s decided to damage themselves for your entertainment on YouTube (fair enough – sometimes that one IS a priority!)
* Disclaimer for pointless people: you were just used for enhancing the flow of that sentence. You’re not really pointless. Not completely anyway….Are you?
So, let’s start ditching some of the excuses that may be filling up valuable real estate inside your head and start focusing on the tasks that are going to generate, accelerate and improve the SALES of your products or services.
"Oh my God! He used the S-word!"
Hell yes! And i’m going to use the F-word too…
"Oh my God! He’s going to use the F-word!"
FEAR …or rather – Fear of Selling!
This, my friend, is one of the big frogs many of us need to munch through each and every morning – taking us beyond the stupid thoughts and procrastination that can lead to being scared of creating our own success!
So how about we chomp through a few frogs together? Wouldn’t that help, even if just a little?…
So – if you happen across this post, just add your own Frog-eating goal of commitment as a comment .
Let me lead the way with 2 of my own…
- A new avenue of affiliate recruitment for our products found and successfully acted upon -before anything else is done – at least 3 days a week until our base affiliate targets are met.
- Beginning from now, a new post to this blog written at least every 3rd day before 9:30am (notice there’s no stated timezone to give me some leeway
– oh…okay – no cheating then: by 9:30am of the timezone I happen to be in on that day.)
Here’s the bottom line for today’s Little Big Difference:
If you’re not getting to where you want to be with your online (or offline) business adventures, then maybe you’re not yet enjoying frog for breakfast…
…so start eating those effin’ frogs!
