With the new year,  I’ve made a personal vow to improve my efforts in getting things done in a timely manner and to put more energy into making money outside my day job. Today I was introduced to two blog posts that do a great job in explaining motivation/procrastination and getting out of ruts.

First we have The Social Reformer, a blog written by Ruben Harris ( @redstarvip ) with a post titled “I’ll Give You A Million Dollars” which defines motivations and responses to better undertand why we procrastinate - with understanding comes the ability to change, yes?

Next I want to introduce you to Mywifequitherjob.com, a blog written by a couple  (@mywifequit ) who are entrepreneurs and run a successful eCommerce site. Their post today, titled “Are You Stuck In A Mental Rut With Your Small Business? Learn How We Got Out” goes into detail of the rut they found themselves in while building their business and how they got out of it.

Lastly, you may think it odd to see a pic/reference here to a roller derby queen, but this is a lady who is never stuck in a rut and really knows how to whip a problem - Katarina Whip:

I hope you’ll find both of these posts as inspiring and educational as I did! Please come back and let me know if they’ve helped you in any way
