"If and When were planted, and nothing grew"-
Proverb

"Procrastination is opportunity's assasin"-
Victor Kiam


Many have made procrastination their ally, hence live in financial bondage year after year. If you're looking to gain financial freedom it's key you understand that, there is a correlation between 'the money you'll have' _ financial success and 'What you'll do' _ overcome procrastination.

To some the thought of to defeat procrastination is near impossible, but psychologist having researched the subject agrees that there is a causative agent _ if you can know the cause, chances are you'll easily overcome it.


The Reality Of Time In Business

The significance of time in the world of wealth acquisition is as crucial as oxygen to man _ your net worth will skyrocket if leveraged on.

In business, we often talk about compound interest _ interest accumulated over a period of time from one's stock, share etc. 

Say you invested $10,000 dollars into that brand as a shareholder, annually you receive $800 dollars in fifteen years (15) years, how much would you have accumulated?… $12,000!

But come to think of it, if he had put it off so that he failed to invest, would he have gotten that amount in fifteen years?…

Procrastination is the surefire way to remain in poverty. The attitude for financial success is striving to leverage time. Today is an opportunity meant to be seized for your financial success tomorrow.


Can you discern the imminent disaster?

Psychologists agrees that getting to know the ill-consequences of what will befall one, should he put off a task assigned him can help motivate one to action.



*The attitude for financial success is striving to leverage time*

In my days as a salespersonnel to a cosmetic company, I can remember having a colleague who always put off making calls to his leads, as such have trouble closing sales ( business term for sales).

One day when he succeeded to call one she said, 'sorry I expected to see you but you never showed up let alone call, hence I bought it from a departmental store few days ago.

If you cannot defeat procrastination, you are too weak to become wealthy.


What A Worthless fellow!

Have you seen someone who has no skill, hence keeps a low financial status?…

Alright! Let's go further a bit.

...But an opportunity was given to him to acquire skill in the area of Graphic Design, but wouldn't attend the class to get the skill so that he remains unskilled?…

How would his financial status look like?…



*Procrastination is the prison of financial freedom*


The singular reason you should avoid procrastination is that, it makes you useless to yourself, family and society. To win over procrastination is to become useful.

Finally, the benefit of procrastination is only ephemeral and fades away in a split-second. The task is left undone _ you'll have to deal with it, but with limited time. To put off tasks shows you're in for financial bondage and that one is ignorant of the vaue/nature of time.
