Part 2: Getting Through the "Dip"

Get through the “dip” of burdensome projects that feel impossible to complete by envisioning the light at the end of the tunnel. Marketing expert Seth Godin asks readers of his new book to determine if the projects are worth the end result. If so, try to stick it out and barrel through to finish and skyrocket business success.

Here are a more tips to get through the ‘dip’:

Assess the dip. Lay out the project into several parts and determine the areas that have been the most difficult and daunting to accomplish. Draft a plan and have a goal to carry each one of them through.

Take one day at a time and focus on the task at hand. Don’t worry about everything else that needs to be done. When you feel overwhelmed, your time goes by even faster. Take a deep breath and concentrate on what you are doing rather than what else needs to get done. Try not multitask when getting over the dip, so set aside those less important items for later.

Create a cohesive environment to guarantee success. Design your environment to shape the thoughts and behaviors you desire, and surround yourself with people who support you along the way. Avoid negative people or those who try to sabotage your efforts. Your work space also affects your success. Does it give off a good ambiance? Do you feel organized and energized in the space?
