Definition:

Procrastination is the urge to delay doing something that should be done.

There's a saying - "Take action today for a better tomorrow."

But many aspiring entrepreneurs just don't start. Why?

Let’s start with understanding the four major reasons behind procrastinating in taking action on a business idea, followed by what should be done:

4).  We think that we have all the time in the world: You need to understand that there is a deadline for every work. Even human comes with an expiry date. Start by setting a realistic deadline to achieve an objective & divide your work proportionally. #World #achievementunlocked

3). What if I don’t succeed: The fear of #failure is the ultimate demotivator stopping the human race from starting something. You have got to start at some point. I advise starting with a task with the least chance of failure. Overcome your fear and boost your #confidence.

2). Overthinking: Let me introduce you to Murphy’s Law – “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” The human mind is trained in a way to warn us of danger. If a business idea is supposed to go wrong, it will go wrong. Take the lesson and move on!

1). Seeking Perfection: Startupland is all about timing. You have a great #product, not a perfect one. And you don't launch it at the right time. Why? Because you were making it #perfect. There is a fine line between preparation and procrastination. Understand the difference.

In a survey by Smallbiztrends,  51% of respondents answered that one could learn more about #entrepreneurship by starting a #business. Now it’s up to you whether you want to be an Entrepreneur or a ‘Wantrepreneur.’ Stop procrastinating & start taking action on your #startup idea!

Think of it like this – if 9 out of 10 startups fail, and you spend years of research before taking action on an idea, then how many years will it take to find the idea that actually works?
