Linda Feinholz's article on www.homeofficeweekly.com offers 3 steps to become "unstuck" in your home business. In brief, they are:

1) List everything that's incomplete - make a list of all tasks and projects that are incomplete. This includes saved voice mail messages with unreturned phone calls, things jotted down on post-it notes, bulletin boards, etc. You must list every single item that is incomplete.

2) Sort and tag each item – attach a reason for it not having been completed. Example reasons are:

1 – I don't have the information I need to make a decision
2 – I have the information but I don't like the form the decision will take
3 – I have the information and I like the form, but not the timing
4 – This conflicts with another item on the list

3) Prioritize within each group, and attach new tags - tags may read "delegate" or "easy to complete." Once you've prioritized and tagged within each category, you can start making decisions. You will feel much more in control of your business once you have taken control of your tasks. Read more here.

Dr. Anthony explains that if you want something badly enough, success for example, you will get it. When there are powerful emotions tied to a desire, you can manifest it. However if your desire to remain in your comfort zone is more passionate than your desire for success, you will not move forward toward achieving what you desire – you will procrastinate.

The author further explains that the real reason we procrastinate is because we are actually getting some benefit out of not moving forward. The benefit may be that by not moving forward, you can remain in your comfort zone. Achieving success may be more challenging than staying where you are now, and this concept is scary to many. You may be miserable now, but at least you're comfortable.

The author suggests asking yourself two key questions to get to the root of your fears:

1) What benefit am I getting from NOT realizing my dreams?

2) What am I afraid will happen if I do? (Examples of fears may be how your lifestyle might change, or what other people might think.)

He suggests reviewing your answers to these questions, and then evaluating whether your fears are serving you, or whether it's time to let go of them and move on. For more in-depth reading, read the article Here.
