Pick A Deadline
October 18th, 2007 by Cristina Favreau
Do you want to get out there and market yourself in more public ways, like leading teleclasses or accepting speaking invitations?
Do you have a bunch of topics you’d someday like to develop, but aren’t sure which one to pick first?
If so, Alicia Forest’s Client Abundance blog article, Pick a Topic, Pick a Date, is a must-read.
I’ve personally used this ‘formula’, yielding incredible results. It’s also the approach I took for tomorrow’s IVAA presentation.
It’s a phenomenal strategy to help break you out of procrastination as well as a nifty immersion therapy technique.
I play the someday game with my clients. When they say, “Oh I’ll get rid of that someday”, I get out my calendar and say, “Show me what day of the year is someday”. Usually they laugh and toss the stuff right away. Sometimes they pick “next Christmas” or “one year from today”.
It might be awhile away but at least it’s a deadline!
