Now that you've read a little bit about just why you procrastinate...wait, you DID read that chapter right? You didn't put it off until later, did you? What do you mean you didn't think it was important? How are you going to stop procrastinating of you don't understand WHY you do it in the first place?Taking a good hard look at why you don't start your term paper until the night before it's due, or why you put off cleaning those rain gutters is the first step in learning how to change that behavior. Below are a few strategies to help you stop procrastinating. Not every tip will work for every person, so take what you can from this list and see what works for you.

Take an Inventory. Do you hear a little nagging voice in your head telling you that you need to do something? Can you see a visual in your head about the taskyou're avoiding and are you feeling the physical and emotional consequences of what will happen if you don't complete this task? Look at the clues that tell you just when and how you're procrastinating and you'll be able to see that you are indeed putting something off. Sometimes it's difficult to tell when you're procrastinating because you're attempting to avoid thinking about it but if you piece together the clues you'll be able to pinpoint your behavior in order to get a handle on it.

Learn How You Procrastinate. Doyou think if you ignore the job at hand it will eventually go away and not bother you? I tried that once with a speeding ticket and nearly lost my license due to procrastination. Trust me when I say that ignoring the problem/job won't cause it to disappear in a puff of smoke.

Do you over-estimate or under-estimate the degree of difficulty in completing the task? Do you scoff at the impact not finishing the task will have on your future? Perhaps you substitute something important for something REALLY important, like putting the dishes away instead of working on that term paper that's due in two hours.

Maybe you take a short break, but let that "short' break turn into an all night event, and therefore put off getting to that taskyou need to finish. You might focus on one part of the job to the exclusion of the remaining task and thereby never finish the entire thing. Once you recognize how you procrastinate, you'll better be able to put a stop to it. Often we don't even realize that we are procrastinating until it's too late and we've missed a deadline.

Make Yourself a Productive Environment. For example, if you work from home, create a home office where there's no TV to distract you from your work. Sure, that baseball game is playing but you don't have time to watch it because you have a deadline with a client. If the TV is there, you'll be tempted to turn it on and then full-blown procrastination occurs. If you are addicted to the Internet, but need to use your laptop or computer to do your work, then try to go somewhere where you won't be able to receive a signal and get online. Removing temptation to do something other than what you NEED to do will help you put a stop to procrastination.

Throw Out Those Procrastination Myths. "I work best under pressure" That's the myth that nearly kept me from graduating from college. Once you believe that you can only work under pressure, you're giving yourself permission to procrastinate. This can snowball and create serious problems for you if you have several deadlines looming

"I can't do this unless I have five uninterrupted hours" This is simply another stalling technique that master procrastinators use for telling themselves it's ok to not start the project because they won't have time to finish it. Hello? If you don't start the taskyou'll never finish it. It's ok to start something and then stop so you can finish it later. Sometimes the simple act of beginning a task will break the cycle of procrastination and allow you to finish your job. I can't do this unless ifs perfect. The problem that most procrastinators have is that we are too hard on ourselves, demanding perfection where perfection is impossible. If you think you can't start your term paper until you have THE perfect opening sentence, then you have once again given yourself permission to put it off.

Break Down the Job. You have a job to do and it looks enormous. You could never, ever complete a job that big, so why even start? If that's your mindset, then you probably won't finish the job. In order to combat this kind of thinking, break the job or task down into small, manageable chunks. Your kitchen is a disaster, it's too much for you to handle. Start on one end and clean off one counter. Voila I You've started. Take baby steps and soon you'll see that the entire task has been completed.

The Childrens Books Of Christmas Stories Resale Rights Ebook

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, on the night before Christmas, a little child was wandering all alone through the streets of a great city. There were many people on the street, fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, uncles and aunts, and even gray-haired grandfathers and grandmothers, all of whom were hurrying home with bundles of presents for each other and for their little ones. Fine carriages rolled by, express wagons rattled past, even old carts were pressed into service, and all things seemed in a hurry and glad with expectation of the coming Christmas morning.

From some of the windows bright lights were already beginning to stream until it was almost as bright as day. But the little child seemed to have no home, and wandered about listlessly from street to street. No one took any notice of him except perhaps Jack Frost, who bit his bare toes and made the ends of his fingers tingle. The north wind, too, seemed to notice the child, for it blew against him and pierced his ragged garments through and through, causing him to shiver with cold. Home after home he passed, looking with longing eyes through the windows, in upon the glad, happy children, most of whom were helping to trim the Christmas trees for the coming morrow.

“Surely,” said the child to himself, “where there is so must gladness and happiness, some of it may be for me.” So with timid steps he approached a large and handsome house. Through the windows, he could see a tall and stately Christmas tree already lighted. Many presents hung upon it. Its green boughs were trimmed with gold and silver ornaments. Slowly he climbed up the broad steps and gently rapped at the door. It was opened by a large man-servant. He had a kindly face, although his voice was deep and gruff. He looked at the little child for a moment, then sadly shook his head and said, “Go down off the steps. There is no room here for such as you.” He looked sorry as he spoke; possibly he remembered his own little ones at home, and was glad that they were not out in this cold and bitter night. Through the open door a bright light shone, and the warm air, filled with fragrance of the Christmas pine, rushed out from the inner room and greeted the little wanderer with a kiss. As the child turned back into the cold and darkness, he wondered why the footman had spoken thus, for surely, thought he, those little children would love to have another companion join them in their joyous Christmas festival. But the little children inside did not even know that he had knocked at the door.

The street grew colder and darker as the child passed on. He went sadly forward, saying to himself, “Is there no one in all this great city who will share the Christmas with me?” Farther and farther down the street he wandered, to where the homes were not so large and beautiful. There seemed to be little children inside of nearly all the houses. They were dancing and frolicking about. Christmas trees could be seen in nearly every window, with beautiful dolls and trumpets and picture-books and balls and tops and other dainty toys hung upon them. In one window the child noticed a little lamb made of soft white wool. Around its neck was tied a red ribbon. It had evidently been hung on the tree for one of the children. The little stranger stopped before this window and looked long and earnestly at the beautiful things inside, but most of all was he drawn toward the white lamb. At last creeping up to the window-pane, he gently tapped upon it. A little girl came to the window and looked out into the dark street where the snow had now begun to fall. She saw the child, but she only frowned and shook her head and said, “Go away and come some other time. We are too busy to take care of you now.” Back into the dark, cold streets he turned again. The wind was whirling past him and seemed to say, “Hurry on, hurry on, we have no time to stop. ‘Tis Christmas Eve and everybody is in a hurry to-night.”

Again and again the little child rapped softly at door or window-pane. At each place he was refused admission. One mother feared he might have some ugly disease which her darlings would catch; another father said he had only enough for his own children and none to spare for beggars. Still another told him to go home where he belonged, and not to trouble other folks.

The hours passed; later grew the night, and colder grew the wind, and darker seemed the street. Farther and farther the little one wandered. There was scarcely any one left upon the street by this time, and the few who remained did not seem to see the child, when suddenly ahead of him there appeared a bright, single ray of light. It shone through the darkness into the child’s eyes. He looked up smilingly and said, “I will go where the small light beckons, perhaps they will share their Christmas with me.”

Hurrying past all the other houses, he soon reached the end of the street and went straight up to the window from which the light was streaming. It was a poor, little, low house, but the child cared not for that. The light seemed still to call him in. From what do you suppose the light came? Nothing but a tallow candle which had been placed in an old cup with a broken handle, in the window, as a glad token of Christmas Eve. There was neither curtain nor shade to the small, square window and as the little child looked in he saw standing upon a neat wooden table a branch of a Christmas tree. The room was plainly furnished but it was very clean. Near the fireplace sat a lovely faced mother with a little two-year-old on her knee and an older child beside her. The two children were looking into their mother’s face and listening to a story. She must have been telling them a Christmas story, I think. A few bright coals were burning in the fireplace, and all seemed light and warm within.

Go with a quarter-page ad in the yellow pages of your telephone directory. The space salesman will help you with the ad, but remember, you want it to catch the eye of your particular client, and offer a promise of an end to her problems.

Always talk to your kind of people, emphasizing the benefits of your services. It's not good practice to quote or even discuss prices in either you advertising or on the phone when people respond.

Always get name, address and telephone number, then explain your services in general. Set up an appointment to look over their operation, analyze their needs, and make a written proposal to solve their problems.

There may be a number of factors involved in establishing you fees, but starting out with beginning and small businesses, and until you line up 50 regular clients, your best bet would be $50 per hour.

Count on two to three hours per client per day, and devoting 10 days per month to work on their needs, you're talking about $1,000 to $1,500 per month from each client.

Multiply that times 50 clients, and you'll be grossing $5,000 to $7,500 per month. As a one-man operation, you'll be plenty busy.

Insiders in this business say a person can leave his regular job on Friday, start a consulting business on Monday, and within six months, have an income of more than $100,000 per year.

Suffice it to say that a beginning business consultant should earn from $30,000 to $60,000, before taxes and office expenses, in the first year of business.

There's still another very important method of finding new clients, and that is via Direct Mail solicitation. This is done either by postcard or sales letter mailings.

How To Create Offers That Could Make You Rich Mrr Ebook

This strategy will not even appear to be a sales promotion, it can be that subtle. Although, associating your product with some other tempting toy is a way to help boost your image too. It does have a universal appeal, although you can carefully target the gift box for your particular demographic. Say, you are targeting business professionals for a series of courses that you wrote on marketing. What would appeal to them to have the most? You could offer your courses in nice briefcases or even pieces of splashy luggage. Of course, you are selling the course work, but they will notice the gift box it comes in and it will influence their decision to buy.

If your demographic is teenagers, maybe you'd rather wrap your offering in some electronic gizmo that appeals to their interests, like an Ipod they can show off to their friends. You do want to market your wares so you make a profit on the sale, including the cost of obtaining the gift box that it is wrapped in.

This marketing strategy is particularly effective if you are selling infoproducts. Infoproducts are virtual products that can be downloaded into electronics or online. If you've ever seen how little some of the infoproducts cost, you probably wonder how they make a significant profit. It costs them nothing to create copies of infoproducts and it costs nothing to deliver them. However, that also decreases the amount of profit they can get because people won't see them as being that valuable. Now, take the same infoproduct and market it by downloading it to an Ipod or a fancy USB flash drive, and the perceived worth shoots up, and so does the price you can charge for the same product.

It can take a little creativity to figure out what your gift box might end up being. You want something that will appeal to your demographics and also be associated with added value. If possible, you want this gift box to be so nice that the buyer turns around and brags to their friend's how they got it “for free” when they bought your offer. This is a way to generate referrals from a clever marketing strategy.

There's no limit to how splashy or big your gift box can be. If you want to offer your infoproducts on a laptop, for instance, that can be done too. You will have to find a demographic of people who want the free laptop and will buy your infoproducts because of that. And, you will have to find a wholesaler willing to sell you laptops at a discount too.

Teach Yourself How To Play The Guitar Overnight PLR Ebook

If you're left handed, don't worry.You have two options here. The first option is to buy a right-handed guitar and re-string it, so that the order of the strings in figure 3 is reversed. The second option you have is to buy a left-handed guitar.

If you're right handed, you will use your left hand to construct chords.

The left hand fingers are bent and pressing down on the strings on the fret board. The back of the neck is curved, so that your hand molds into the shape of the neck. Your thumb is arching aver the top of the neck. This is a common thumb position for constructing chords.

It is also ok to press your thumb into the back of the guitar neck when constructing chords, although this is more common when playing scales. Try out both thumb positions and use the one that is most comfortable for you.

Right Hand/Arm

This is the hand that you will use to "strum" the strings to make the different chord sounds. Rest/Lie your right arm over the guitar. Your right bicept should be resting on the top of the body of the guitar. Your hand should be positioned directly above the sound hole in the guitar. This is where the sound is produced.
