You Are Not A Procastinator

The moment you find yourself wanting to do something else instead of your task, recognize it. The trigger in case of procastination is always stress. Procastination will only bring more stress.

Embrace Awkwardness 

It can be hard when it seems like everywhere you look someone else is advancing in life and you’re just stuck.It’s discouraging when you try your hardest but you can’t seem to catch a break while others are getting more and more ahead everyday. Life isn’t a competition but it’s hard not to wonder, why not me?

" Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.”

More often than not. That is our first mistake.We compare our lives to others. Not only does it chip away at our confidence but it builds a wall between us and others.We start to see others as competition rather than meaningful connections that can be equally beneficial on both ends.

Change Of Perspective

<ol><li>Stop comparing yourself to others. </li><li>Remove yourself from dead-end connections. </li><li>Surround yourself with influential people who will bring positivity into your life.</li><li>Think before you decide. Stop rushing into decisions.</li><li>Work on reacting out of emotion. Our emotions can lead us astray.</li><li>Emotional control is key to good decision making.</li><li>Stop waiting to act. Often we make a good decision but we doubt ourselves causing us to either procrastinate or not do it at all.</li><li>Don’t let others know your plans. Not everyone is your friend and far too often they will attempt to throw a wrench in your plans.</li></ol>

Du bist wen du kennst. (You are who you know.)

The book’s german title seems to me to better illustrate how this cuts both ways. Network with intention; network with attention; network for worth.

An internationally known public speaker, entrepreneur, and marketing executive shares practical, up-to-date tips for mastering the skills of networking. Networking doesn’t have to be that frenzied old-school game of calendars packed with stuffy power lunches and sterile evenings at community business gatherings. We’ve entered a new era, one in which shifting cultural values and the explosion of digital technology enable us to network in vastly more efficient, more focused, and more enjoyable ways. A fresh take on How to Win Friends and Influence People, Your Network Is Your Net Worth is an entertaining, straightforward guide filled with revealing case studies, hands-on advice, and innovative strategies for building your network. Written by sought-after speaker, entrepreneur, and marketing executive Porter Gale, with a foreword by Apple evangelist and bestselling author Guy Kawasaki, this book shows you how to establish, expand, and nurture your connections both online and off. New ways to network are popping up every day—and Gale tells you how to make the most of them—but even traditional networking opportunities are not the same animals that they once were, and we need to shift our attitudes and approaches accordingly. Networking has evolved from a transactional game to a transformational process. Whereas once it was about power plays, now it’s about charting your own course, following your passions, and making meaningful connections, which in turn increase your happiness and productivity. In addition to chronicling her own rise from an ad agency intern to an in-demand consultant, Gale also shares the inspiring stories of so many others who live by this networking model: a military wife who connects with social media communities while her husband is deployed overseas, a young woman blog-ger battling leukemia, a dyslexic politician who wins elections by telling stories, and the CEO of a Major League Baseball team who once made a phone call that changed the course of his life. When you focus on your passions and reorganize your networking around your values and beliefs, you will discover the kind of lasting relationships, personal transformation, and, ultimately, tangible wealth that are the foundation for happiness and success. With a message both timely and important, Your Network Is Your Net Worth is the definitive handbook to Networking 2.0.

Your Network Is Your Net Worth

The general rule is to improve by 1% every day, but for some people, even 0.1% or 0.01% is still progress. Don't worry about comparing yourself to others, just focus on your own improvement. 
 Remember, any improvement, no matter how small, is still progress. Don't set unrealistic expectations based on what others are doing. Set your own pace and celebrate your own progress. 💪

Progress is Progress: Don't Compare Yourself to Others

People often say that improving by 1% every day, but not for me! For me, even improving by 0.1% or 0.01% is still progress. Improving from yesterday, last month, or even last year is still considered progress. Don't compare yourself to others. Know yourself and set your own pace. Don't focus on other people's expectations.
