In this article I hope to reveal to you my #1 enemy in building my network marketing business. I have had to battle this enemy all my life. I've had to battle him during my school days, my college days, and my graduate school days. I've had to battle him in my personal and business life. I've had to battle him in fitness, in business, in marriage, and in my spiritual life.

Are you ready? My #1 enemy is "Procrastination."

I'm the type of person that does not believe in all work and no play. I love to play. I've always loved to play. I enjoy spending time with my wife, my children, friends, relatives, and myself. There are times that procrastination gets the best of me. There are times when I should be working on my network marketing business, but guess what, I'm watching TV with my family, or playing with my kids. If I procrastinate and only put in 5 hrs. a week into my business then I can't expect to make a full time income. I have no one to blame but myself.

This is true in any business.

I learned to battle procrastination through the power of goal setting and rewards. I would sit down and write out my yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals. I would then rank my goals in priority. I would focus on a few daily goals that I could work on everyday. I would then reward myself in some way as I accomplished the goal.

Taking baby steps every day toward a goal is how I battle procrastination. I also keep a track of how much time I'm spending working my network marketing business each week. It's important that no matter what happens we don't neglect our health or our family. If we don't have our health we can't do the business. If we don't have our family we won't be as happy.

I've had workaholics in the past look down on me because I don't spend 80-90 hrs. a week working. So what! I 'd rather enjoy my life and spend a good amount of time with my family than kill myself. These workoholics may achieve massive success faster than me, but will probably suffer greatly in the end.

I know I'm not the only one battling procrastination everyday. If you are, simply remind yourself to focus on one or two goals and spend a little time everyday working towards them. It doesn't have to be an all day event. You will feel so much better because you will be accomplishing something everyday.
