Ditch the Crap That’s Holding You Back

How do you handle all the stuff that’s going on and still remain sane as a content creator?

Gina and I see many of our clients in our Stark Raving Entrepreneurs coaching program talking about how busy they are and need help in sorting out what to do.

They ask about how to find the time to get all the work done. It seems there’s always more that needs to be produced.

We at Stark Raving Entrepreneurs love creating videos, audios for our podcast, text for emails, and more. This is what we love doing for a living.

However, we keep seeing so many of our members who talk about being “crazy busy.”

We hear that a lot.

Hey, we experience it ourselves regularly!

So how do you cut the crap that’s holding you back to move forward into those areas where you need to be?

One of the things that Gina and I talk about and strongly embrace is developing the right systems that take you forward.

If you’re depending on your emotions and feelings to get you through, you’re in trouble.

Big trouble!

I like the way that James Clear talks about it in his “Atomic Habits” – you sink to the level of systems that you have developed (I’m paraphrasing here).

In order to ditch the crap that’s holding you back, you need to have systems that you follow regardless of how you feel.

Yes, I’m talking to you, my fellow human being who wakes up sometimes feeling really crappy and you don’t want to do the important task that you know you need to do.

We’ve all been there!

I experience that “Yuck” feeling regularly.

However, those who get ahead and are successful don’t have some special gift from outer space aliens.

This is a scientific fact! ?

Instead, they have the discipline – there’s a key word – to implement their systems and succeed.

It’s not a matter of wishes or want to, or good intentions.

Unfortunately, those crumble like a house of cards in a hurricane.

What succeeds are the systems that you’ve put into place and are constantly fine-tuning and tweaking based on real-world evidence and experience.

What worked before is not necessarily going to work for you now.

You can’t ride on past successes and good things that worked in the past.

They may work, but often they need to be altered and changed based on new experiences and new evidence in a world that is constantly changing.

This is the way it has worked for millennia here on planet Earth.

One of the most important things you can do as a creator is figure out how to leverage what you have done by repurposing.

Make Repurposing is your goal.

This means you do something once and then leverage the daylights out of it to get more PR juice, ratings juice, and goodwill juice.

That’s a LOT of good juice! ?

To ditch the crap that is holding you back, you have to be aggressive with your discipline on yourself.

Get rid of crap you shouldn’t be doing.

Take some time today to look at your systems to refine and tweak them.
Find what is working for you and strengthen it.

Find what isn’t serving you anymore and modify it or eliminate it.

Here’s a video we put together about a tool that I discovered recently that is helping me enormously in repurposing. It shows a tool that we’re using now that is helping us a lot.

It would be good for you to see this regardless of what you’re using right now to see the methodology and the principles that can help you in repurposing what you’re doing.

We would love to hear what you think about repurposing and how you’re doing it.

Whack that Reply button and let us know how you are repurposing and how it’s working for you.

Of course, if you have questions where we can help, we’ll be delighted to hear from you as well.

Wishing you the very best and thank you for supporting us in our Stark Raving Entrepreneurs community.

To Your Success,

P.S. Repurposing is really about leveraging the daylights out of what you have to get more good. Make it your goal to find ways to repurpose as much as possible so that you’re multiplying your efforts for great achievements!
