			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most marketers I know are smart people who know what they want to do&#8230;they just don&#8217;t &#8220;do it&#8221;. They either procrastinate, they get lazy, they &#8220;don&#8217;t get around to it&#8221;, or they simply don&#8217;t follow up.</p>
<p>Whatever. The failures I see are all the results of laziness, excuses, or allowing the &#8220;urgent&#8221; to take the place of the &#8220;important&#8221;.</p>
<p>So what to do? How to not continue failing, excusing, or ignoring your goals?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the simplest &#8211; but most powerful &#8211; solution I know of. I&#8217;ll give it to you in two simple pieces, the first piece being the explanation of what needs to happen and the second piece being how to do it.</p>
<p>1) You need to interrupt your routine, and eliminate the distractions. Make it so you have no excuses, no &#8220;urgent&#8221; interruptions, no phone calls&#8230;nothing on TV to stop you from doing what you really want to accomplish. Go it?</p>
<p>2) Do this by getting up a half-hour early. Simple, I know. But I guarantee you this: if you start to rise 30 minutes earlier it will change your life. Seriously.</p>
<p>The catch? None &#8211; except maybe the note that you should use the extra half-hour to work on your real goals. No answering emails, no wasting time!</p>
<ul>
<li>Get up</li>
<li>Get some coffee</li>
<li>Get something done!</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s it! Best of luck&#8230;.</p>
