Is Procrastination Hurting You and Your Business? Is It Costing You Time, Energy, Clients, and Money?
And here’s the big one …
Do you know you would be earning more money if only you followed through on your plans?
You’re not the only one.
According to recent studies, it is estimated that as many as 95% of the population is prone to procrastination. AND, 25% of them are chronic procrastinators.
It’s all well and good to know that you’re not alone but that doesn’t mean you want to keep procrastinating …
Procrastination is more than annoying. Procrastination costs you time, energy and money. Procrastination leaves you overwhelmed, frustrated and defeated. It effects you and your business.
One of two things happens when an entrepreneur procrastinates. Neither of them are good.
Really important things don’t get done. You don’t write that important email or sales page. You don’t call prospective clients. You don’t arrange sales meetings. You don’t get around to answering emails. You don’t market your programs, actually, you may not “get around” to creating those programs. Or…
1) You get things done but at a huge cost to yourself. You end up working until 2am rushing to finish. You feel stressed and anxious and know it’s not your best effort. What makes it worse is that, when you’re finally done you realize it wasn’t a big deal to begin with and, you beat yourself up for not getting it done sooner.
2) You wonder if you’re secretly sabotaging yourself as you and your business are left spinning, frustrated and going nowhere.
And the worst part is, you are doing all this TO YOURSELF!
Bottom line … at the end of the day the things that really needed to be done aren’t. You’re overwhelmed, sidetracked, unhappy, frustrated AND lacking the clients and income you want and deserve.
Sound Familiar? Yeah, I thought so.
Admission time…I am a procrastinator yet in 2003 I created a 6-figure business that’s ALWAYS been profitable. I wrote a book. I have clients and run group programs. Even though I procrastinate I have done all this and you can too!
Before we continue, let me tell you a little bit about me:
My name is Carrie Greene. I am a speaker, author and coach. I have a degree in Economics from Lehigh University, and spent 15 years on Wall Street in marketing and product development. I worked for the New York Stock Exchange, and major brokerage firms developing and launching highly sophisticated online trading platforms for clients. I left Wall Street shortly after 9/11 and started my own business because I wanted to find meaning in what I was doing, pay the bills, AND have a flexible schedule.
Over the years the focus of my business has changed dramatically, but at the core of each shift was my own personal growth, and the knowledge that my business could only be as big as I viewed myself.
Today I work primarily with business owners to help them get clear on what they want and, through my IMPACT profile assessment, help them understand the value that they bring to their clients and others around them. I help my clients create simple and straight-forward plans to help them reach their goals, clarify their message, and improve their sales skills while getting past their biggest obstacle, themselves.
I am the author of two books. The international best seller, "Because You're Worth It: How To Make More Money By Charging More Money" and "Chaos to Cash: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Eliminating Chaos, Overwhelm and Procrastination So you Can Create Ultimate Profit!"
Carrie Greene has a fast and fool proof way to take the chaos and confusion of necessary business decisions and empower you with a clear plan to profit.
Most business owners lose time and money in the overwhelm of what the next step should be. If you need the answers, but are lost in the questions Carrie IS the answer.”
Imagine for just a moment:
