I have to admit that I am a fan of “Twitter”. Not a fanatic mind you..just a fan.

I enjoy reading what friends I have met around the world are doing. I don’t really care what they had for breakfast that morning, but I like reading about accomplishments they have made, quotes they have run across, great sites they have found, excellent articles they have read, etc.

An interesting thing that Twitter has taught me is the power of BREVITY. You see, on Twitter you can only write 140 characters (letters, spaces,etc) before your message gets cut off. I have been amazed however at the power of how ‘Less can be more.”

I have purchased products linked to in Twitter. Not because of the 7 page sales letter but because of a 140 character recommendation from someone I was following. I have learned some amazing SEO tips, a great backup strategy, how to add backlinks overnight, and discovered incredible software I have never heard of or seen before all from Twitter.

I also learned that Kevin Riley has something for rodents.

Like I said, I’m a fan. Not a fanatic.

A lot can be done in 140 characters.

It used to be that I wouldn’t post a blog message here unless unless I had a thousand word essay to share. Unless it had to be printed out, I didn’t think it was worth putting out.

I was wrong. So except to see a lot more short and informative posts here in the future.

Yet somehow this post wound up being much longer than I anticipated.

Like I said, I’m a fan, not a fanatic.

This was Tweeted the other day and I saved to to my favorites.

“Procrastination is the result of doubt. Ask yourself: what am I doubting that makes me procrastinate?”

Talk about an AH-HA Moment. I never really thought about it like that. How many times do we put off what we KNOW we should do for our business and don’t ? Have you ever asked yourself, “What’s wrong with me? Why don’t I just DO it?” God knows I have, and still do at times.

Now change that around and ask ourselves, “What am I doubting?”.

Am I doubting my desire?
Am I doubting those who are guiding me?
Am I doubting my ability?
Am I doubting if the result will be worth it?

Once you identify the origin of the doubt, it becomes easier to overcome it!
