The freedom to do anything

I`ve notice that a lot of people start off at a full clip but eventually, SOMETHING happens. Other obligations just seem to take precedence over blogging and keyword research. I won`t lie- I`ve been there myself-even in the short 2 months I`ve been involved here at WA, I have caught myself procrastinating and doing other far less important things.

Based on insight from my own flaws, I think that the real issue is taking on the entrepreneurs mindset and not waiting to be told what to be done. I think I understand why the certification courses and bootcamp are designed they way that they are- to ween us off of waiting to be told what to do and giving us the tools to manage on our own.

So I think that`s what happens. Your bosses menial tasks are more important to you than your business. Drinking with your friends is more important than doing today's blog post. To succeed at this and keep succeeding, you have to "let go" and realize that this is just as important and real as anything else that you take on in your life.

Maybe you tell yourself everyday that this will all work out, but does it really sink in? What teachings have you yet to unlearn that keep you from taking this as seriously as you should? Find what that is, and find a way to see through the deception. Once you can do this, you will naturally throw a ton of energy into this!
