I wasn’t there the last time you wasted a few hours when you should have been working.
But I’m going to describe exactly what you were doing.
Then I’ll tell you how to break the cycle next time.
You sat down and started to do some work.
Then you remembered something else you needed to do.
So you stopped what you started and started that other thing.
Until a few minutes later you remembered a third thing.
Which is when you decided to check your email. Where you saw all the many people and tasks waiting for you.
You realized that there was no way you were going to finish everything you have to do. Not that day. Nor even that week.
Which made you start to feel overwhelmed. Powerless. Pulled here and there by others.
As the afternoon gave way to early evening, you berated yourself with a rehtorical question:
“Why can’t I seem to get more done more quickly?!”
Finally, somewhere near the very end of your day – right before going home, or perhaps after everyone else was in bed – you picked something and you did it.
Which gave you the first first feeling of accomplishment that whole day.
The tragedy is when you’re caught in this vortex not just for a day, but for a week. Or even years.
What is this vortex?
It’s simply indecision.
And people lose years of their lives because they won’t or can’t make a basic decision.
Yep. That’s what you were doing all the time you weren’t working: You were ‘deciding’ what to do.
At the end of the day, when you finally picked a task and did it, all you did was decide “That’s it! I’m gonna at least do THIS.”
And with that decision, you felt good.
I see consultants, coaches and other experts drift for years because they’re afraid to make the most basic decision: Picking a niche.
Or they’re unsure how.
So they dabble in some marketing here. And some marketing there.
But before anything has a chance to build or accumulate, they jump again.
No exaggeration: Good people with world class skills can waste years of their lives simply because they haven’t DECIDED which niche to focus on.
Just the other day I was talking to someone who’s been wanting to jump from the corporate world into consulting.
He’s been wanting to do this for the last 2 – 3 years. But he hasn’t because he hasn’t been able to choose a niche.
I help people choose a niche in 2 -3 HOURS.
And if your marketing isn’t adding up because you don’t have the focus that a niche gives you, then you MUST get this help.
Only 3 – 8 people.
Live. With me.
And I will help you get focused on your niche. And then show you how to build your marketing and selling system atop your newly found focus.
Choosing a niche is a DECISION.
And it’s a decision you must make in a way that leaves you feeling confident that you’ve chosen the RIGHT niche.
Which is exactly what I’ll do with you in the Your Marketing Helium Live Web-Workshop.
Why do I limit this to 8 or fewer participants?
Because everyone gets 1-1 time during this 3 – 4 hours web-workshop.
And there’s no way I could do that for more people.
The price of this web workshop is a bargain. Far less than you’d expect it to be.
Especially for something that will give you the focus and force you need to make the next years

PS – Here’s a nice note from Quentin Pain, who was in a recent Your Marketing Helium web-workshop:
…I am used to digging into client’s vague answers and getting to the bottom of their problems, but this workshop made me look at this a whole different way.
In fact, that new insight (an elegant and simple framework) and the personal time that Dov gave me on the call, was worth at least 10x more than I paid.
I’d love to give you the low down of what we learnt, but that is best left to the master. I am already applying this framework to everything I do from conversations to written materials.
If you get a chance to go on a Dov Gordon workshop. Grab it. You will be glad you did.
