The act of perseverance is equally as important to success in your work at home position as oxygen is to our very survival. Honest perseverance will undoubtedly get you through the hard times even when you feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall.
On the opposite side of the success coin is procrastination. Perseverance can be summed up as simply never giving up, for procrastination; you never actually make it off the start line. In addition, the failure to get across the finish line is too a form of procrastination.
Reasons for people procrastinating in their work at home position are as follows:
* The Perfectionist Mentality - "I like things to be ready before I can properly begin. I can't have any interruptions, the place where I work needs to be calm and peaceful. I can't have any callers disturbing me. I have to be at prime health and fitness. I can't work when it's beautiful outside; I just have to enjoy the sun."
The other form of procrastination - failing to cross the finish line - is also the result of the perfectionist mentality: "I'm not leaving here until this report is perfect!"
For any perfectionist acting this way, they are simply deluding themselves, believing that their defects are examples of excellence. This defect-into-excellence complex means that they believe they operate on a higher plain to everyone else when in fact they are their own worst enemy.
* Fear of Failure - I believe the number one reason for anybody to procrastinate in their work at home position is because of a fear of failure. Many people are simply too afraid of being anything less than right all of the time or on a lesser note, afraid they won't become highly successful on their first attempt. By thinking this way, you are placing yourself under tremendous amounts of unnecessary pressure, becoming paralyzed by fear.
In my opinion there is no difference between never leaving the start line to never crossing the finishing line - you're still no better off correct? You haven't reached where you wish to be. Your work at home position goals are still there waiting to be achieved.
Why allow yourself to be controlled by negative thoughts towards your future in which you create this fantasy of you being criticized, ridiculed, poked fun at by people who are too fearful themselves of becoming who they really wish they could be.
Of course with such negative fantasies dominating our thoughts we find ourselves doing absolutely nothing - it always seems far easier to just stay where we are.
Who else wants to overcome procrastination?
