I’ve seen it in my own life.
I have.
For so many years of my life, procrastination, perfectionism,
and lack of focus held me back.
I’d take 2 steps forward and then 6 steps back. No fun at all.
Every day I speak to people who are where I was then.
Let me give you a tip today that can help you greatly. Greatly.
First off.
Take your head out of the clouds.
“Mike, what did you say?”
I’ll say it again.
Take your head out of the clouds.
Stop buying into the junk and gimmicks that are being sold every day online.
Stop believing you can make $10,000 a month in your business with a $100 a month mindset.
Stop thinking like an employee as you try to build an entrepreneurial venture.
Stop trying to accomplish 10 things a day and overwhelming yourself.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
I see people daily who expect a ‘home run’ in their business so fast and then they don’t
get it and get upset, depressed, and hop to something new. Stop.
Relax.
Here’s a new idea for you.
Move yourself forward 1% a day.
1%, can you do that?
Slow up and aim to move yourself and your business forward 1% a day.
You don’t need another gimmick and or ridiculous business opportunity.
What you need is PROGRESS and MOMENTUM.
Aim for that and you’ll start feeling so much better about yourself.
Progress. Progress. Progress. Got it?
Your Coach,
Mike

I have been going around in circles and procrastinating my life away for many years and now I
feel its time to Unleash My Greatness. However at 70 years of age I feel I need to take some Giant Steps to reach my goals before its too late. Does your 1% Improvement a day advice still apply?
Thank you Mike. I needed that right now as I'm sitting here checking off my list and feeling like I'm in slow motion. I should instead look at that list and all I accomplished today and feel good about it. I made progress. It's when I'm in my fear state that I am looking for the home runs. There was no home run today, but there was PROGRESS and that's not all that bad!
I fully agree with you mike, do it better everyday .instead of do the best. Today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today
You touch a critical point in achieving goals and objectives.
Thanks Mike, i promise I will start from today. to check after a month later to see how many steps forward I progressed.
Regards,
Thanx mike, this feels like me, perfectionism and procrastination do much harm, I try to do million things in one day and end up achieving nothing cause I don't know where to start. I thought slowing down is bad in this fast-paced world, but surely it is. I think its when we are tuned to who we are that we will achieve great things,
Thanx
I have been much motivated by your messages rather your ideas and have changed my focusing ability. Thanks for your advices and i will continue connectedwith you always.
Thanks Mike, you know what? you have been my inspiration since my employment and now I'm an online entrepreneur but wanted to be successful like others who ventured into this kind of business. But come to think of it, Rome was not build in one day and what is important is at least 1% a day. I always remember this saying I heard in a movie a long time ago: “Inch by inch life is a cinch, yard by yard life is very hard.”
I am grateful for your words of wisdom, i absolutely agree with you on all and the fact that without focus it will be almost impossible to achieve any meaningful thing.
You have just said it all for I have been a Victim for so long
Thanks
Hi Mike. Sounds great. I will give it a try. As I am working for 6 years as a small business owner in Prague, Czech Republic. And I am trying hard to create a business system. I beleive that this attitude will help me to succeed. And to beome a business owner in 100 days. Many thanks Radek
I'm facing empty nest syndrome…thrust into it by life circumstances. Sudddenly I'm alone. No more excessive laundry, no running the kids to here and there, no big food shopping, not even the need to cook! I am not employed….middle aged but youthful. I don't know where to begin!!! I wake every day and just want to go back into a dream state..What you recommend is what I'm doing however pitifully slow. I haven't the clarity I need because I'm undecided as to which way to go and what to do. Do I go back to the drawing board. I need to identify a goal for myself and then progress towards it.
my coach mike litman i'm glad to inform you that my life is changing completely day i day out.God bless you so much. alan sophas from Uganda (Africa)
I think that the right way to move on Progress 1% everyday and be consistent
I needed this.
I never hit a home run in Baseball ( a triple was the best I ever did). I guess beating cancer was a home run, but come to think of it, that was really one step at a time and the momentum made it seem like perpetual motion.
Thank you Mike.
dear Mike, knowingly or unknowingly you have identified my weakness very rightly. thank you sir, this was my greatest mistke. you have warned at a right time, very right time. thank you. may I look forward for many more such tips for my progress.

I can't help myself feel like I will miss out on something! I don't really know what. Part of the problem is that you subscribe to a newsletter, like yours and then all of a sudden you are sent info on the best internet business, the best marketing ideas, the best cash flow tool etc etc. It hooks me in, I spend a large chunk of my time unsubscribing to these new friends who don't really deliver what they say. Thanks for helping me to focus back on the real stuff.
