Confessions Of An Email Addict

I’ve got to come clean.

I feel the need to confess.

I’m an addict.

If there’s one thing I could consider myself addicted to it’s Email.

I’m not sure how it happened or when.

But it did.

And the first thing is to admit I have a problem.

I have been checking it way too often for far too long.

So I’m testing something out.

I’m only checking emails for my fitness business on Mondays and Fridays.

Not exactly what Timothy Ferriss recommends in The Four Hour Work Week, but it’s a start.

So far, so good.

I feel a HUGE burden lifted from me.

It is amazing how refreshed I feel.

And I’m already much more productive.

Not only am I getting more work done, but it has also helped me pinpoint areas where I can delegate more.

Please understand, I’m not taking this lightly at all.

Once you get caught up in email it blows your whole day. At least that’s what it does to mine.

We’re all addicted to something. Just because it isn’t drugs or alcohol doesn’t mean it isn’t an addiction.

It might not be lethal like a drug or alcohol addiction.

BUT if something is interfering with the pursuit of your dreams and building your fitness business then you better believe it’s a SERIOUS issue.

So your first homework assignment for 2008 is to search your soul and find something negative you are addicted to.

You might be addicted to CONTROL and not willing to delegate because of it.

You might be addicted to FEAR and don’t act because of it.

You might be addicted to ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING and refuse to earn more while working less because of it.

You might be addicted to FEELINGS OF UNWORTHINESS and not leading as prosperous a life as you could because of it.

You might be addicted to ENERGY VAMPIRES within your own fitness business without even knowing it. And because of it you’re so used to having the life sucked out of you by negative clients you don’t even notice it anymore.

The first step is admitting you have a problem. I ain’t kidding.

Who loves ya?

Yours in prosperity,

Jim Labadie
