7 Critical Distinctions
Between A Producer And A Procrastinator
Oftentimes, we fall into both a producer
and a procrastinator category in our lives. What we
need to know is that being a procrastinator is not
something good and once we realize the state we're
in, we have to stand back up and become a producer
again. That will make sure that the results we're
getting are aligned with the vision we're creating.
I had a chance to listen to a one-hour
teleseminar by Johnny Wimbrey recently and managed
to jot down a few points for the readers to benefit.
The topic matched nicely with the points that we're
discussing here.
What are the 7 critical distinctions
between a producer and a procrastinator?
Here are a few points Johnny Wimbrey
talked about.
1. A Producer Is A Winner But A Procrastinator
Is A Whiner.
Producers have a winning mindset. They
eat, sleep and breathe winning possibility. These
are the people who surround themselves around other
winners. They allow themselves to be mentored by other
successful people, and they become students for life.
If there are any problems, they know that they themselves
are bigger than the problems they face.
Procrastinators have stinking thinking
and always look at things in a negative perspective.
They focus on personal and external limitations. When
there is a problem, they whine, cry and question everything
in life. They don't seek advice and are not interested
to be mentored by other successful people.
2. A Producer Is Responsive But A
Procrastinator Is Reactive.
Response is the root of responsibility.
This is the quality of a producer. Being responsive
means that producers control circumstances and they
think before taking action.
Procrastinators, on the other hand,
react to circumstances. They act without thought.
When something happens, they can become panic and
lose control. This leads to more bad circumstances
in life.
3. A Producer IS Optimistic But A
Procrastinator Is Pessimistic.
Producers address challenges in life
effectively. They understand that there will be hard
time and although nobody likes hard time in life,
producers are always prepared to face circumstances.
They see through the clouds and believe that there
is always sunshine.
Procrastinators run from challenges.
In fact, they don't like facing them. They are fearful
and when challenges arise, they feel stressed as if
they couldn't charge through hell in life.
4. A Producer Takes Risk But A Procrastinator
Makes Wishes.
Risk takers create moment of possibility
through invested time, money and energy in their dreams.
Producers know that they have to be 'sacrificial'
and give something up so that they can get up in life.
They don't know what tomorrow will bring but they
are ready to face the unknown.
Procrastinators hope for the moment
of possibility. They wish that their dreams come true
and become content and comfortable. They fear the
unknown and are not ready to step out of their comfort
zone. In the end, they stay where they are with the
unfulfilled wishes.
5. A Producer Has Visions But A Procrastinator
Has Only Illusions.
Producers have faith in their decisions.
They see obstacle and see through it. They know that
they will get their goals with their actions. That's
why producers are firm believers in goal setting.
They start their journey now and don't delay.
Procrastinators want their results based
on sight, meaning that they have to see the results
first before taking action. That is why there's always
lots of reasons why they do not get started at something.
What they do is only inventing obstacle that does
not exist in the first place.
6. A Producer Has Preparation But
A Procrastinator Has Improvision.
Producers are always prepared and they
inspect what they expect. For example, if they have
speaking engagement, they will make sure that everything
like research on topic, target audience and appropriate
content is taken care of. And, they will make sure
that what they expect to deliver will satisfy the
audience. Then, they stay on plan.
Procrastinators don't expect to be successful.
Whatever happens will happen and they keep on hoping
that their wishes come true. They move by emotion
and after information.
7. A Producer Execute But A Procrastinator
Makes Excuses In Life.
Producers have an attitude that they
MUST be successful. They will implement and execute
the right principals to reach their goals. In order
for them to be successful, they will participate in
anything that will lead them to their goals. Producers
also have a sense of urgency in what they do and they
begin with an end in mind.
Procrastinators, however, just have
justifications. They will justify for any reasons
why they fail in life. They WANT to be successful
but don't think that they MUST be successful. It leads
them to postpone their action because of their dead-end
mind says so.
To summarize, I have to admit that these
7 critical distinctions between a producer and a procrastinator
are a reminder for you and me. We will fall in one
of these two categories in life, but we have to realize
it quickly and align ourselves with the producer mindset.
Let me close by what Johnny Wimbrey
said in his teleseminar.
"I WANT You To Be Successful But
I MUST Be Successful".
Let's all have this quote embedded in
our mind at all time.
