Marketing Procrastination

I found a fantastic quote recently about procrastination - you know, when you defer something until later, like making a decision..

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Theodore Roosevelt

Why is this important for internet or small business marketers? Because it emphasises the importance of taking action. Marketing requires a continuous drip feed approach to develop momentum, therefore making decisions and taking action regularly is very important.

The next time you put off a decision until tomorrow, just remember those wise words from Teddy.

    That is a great quote from a great man, and remembering that will help me with my transformation from uber procrastinator to hopefully at least just-enough-to-get-by achiever.

    An inspirational thought, not only for a blogger or an Internet marketer, but for anyone from any sphere of life.

    Thanks for that…I should print it and paste it on my wall because I KNOW I am a huge procrastinator. Anything that will help push me in the right direction is welcomed.
