 In this short video, I want to encourage you to make fewer excuses in your life to make more progress on what's important to you. So let me give you a current example that's happening right now in my work. So I would like that it's important to me to create content consistently. I have another video where I give the 10 reasons why it's important to create content consistently. So go watch that one if you haven't had a chance to. I have found myself making excuses lately because the start of my content, where I do the best initial work in my content, is by starting with these videos. These videos help me to figure out what I want to say in a blog post. They also help me connect with my audience more easily because people enjoy watching videos, etc. Now, I have been making excuses. I've been starting to make videos in my home office, but then I go, gosh, I need better equipment so my audio sound better. Maybe I need a different backdrop. Maybe I need to organize my content in a more structured way so that when I make my videos, I'm not wasting my time, etc. And these excuses have made me delay in making content day after day after day. I know that they are excuses rather than... So I would say that the legitimate part of excuse would be you are making plans, very specific plans for the future that you're making progress on now. So for example, if I knew that tomorrow I had my equipment, my video equipment going to come in and I was going to make a really important video today, but I could wait just one day to make my video, then that makes sense to delay because there's a very obvious planning and there's a mosquito there. And I could of course delay this video because I'm like, oh, there's mosquitoes here, I shouldn't make videos, but I'm going to make videos anyway because in most of the time we aren't really making legitimate plans when we delay what's important to us, we are making excuses. And I'm going to encourage you, and the excuses come from perfectionism, from thinking there is some kind of perfect way to do something. And if you just delay long enough and you did this and that first, then you'll be able to do that thing perfectly. But I will tell you from seven years of greatfully successful entrepreneurship that and lots of failures along the way that there is no such thing as perfect. It's always a work in progress. You and I and our businesses, our work is always a work in progress. So I'm going to challenge you to make consistent progress on what's important to you, even when you don't have the right equipment, even when you don't have the right planning, even when you don't have the right organization, you do it and you make progress anyway. Because guess what? It's in making the progress that you learn what you truly need to plan, what you truly need to organize. OK, so for example, I'm going to make this video, even though it's not perfect, I'm in a situation where if I just walk down further, the view is more beautiful, but then someone is working on a house, so it's loud, so I can't show you a great view, right? I could have stopped and said, well, let me make this tomorrow. Do you see? So instead of making the video because I know that by making this video, I hope you will benefit from some encouragement rather than me delaying because every time I delay, it increases the chance that I won't make the video, right? So a day after they have been delaying, I'm just going to make the video now. So I hope that this encourages you to look at what's important in your life and how are you delaying? And instead, how can you make progress in a way that allows you to learn remembering that you can always make something better going forward? You can always make something better. So do not delay. So what happened earlier was that my phone, I had set an alarm on my phone and it went off and then shut off my video. And I didn't want to keep buddy waiting around any longer. So we went to play and now we're going home. But what a what an ironic, okay, buddy, what an ironic and perfect example of not delaying, not making something perfect and making it something a little bit better later. So I get to close this video. I just want to again encourage you to, to, you know, don't make, don't be perfectionistic. Make progress on your important project, even if it's some kind of progress every day or whenever you work on it, make some kind of progress. I think daily is a really nice rhythm or Monday through Friday. It's a really nice rhythm for an important project to you. So hope this is encouraging for you, inspiring. I'm always inspired to see your comments and your questions. So feel free to do that underneath the video. And until the next video, I wish you continued and incremental progress and joyful productivity. Be well.
