What is JGID!?
Sounds like one of those new lame ass “internet marketing” abbreviations for something… doesn’t it? Actually, it’s not. I just came up with it myself. You don’t have to use the lame abbreviation yourself, but do remember the actual message, it’s very important.
JGID = Just Get It Done!
Videos - One student of mine has been working hard on recording an install video for one of his new products for what seems like a week now. I can’t be absolutely sure what’s slowing him down. I imagine it’s a belief of his that at some point, his video will become perfect. That just doesn’t happen. Record it, and just get it done.
Testing - Everyone (I think) knows they should be testing their sales pages, opt-in forms, and whatever else they can test. Eric Graham had an awesome webinar I attended last night. He shared a number of his test results with around 500 attendees. How many of those people do you think will implement his suggestions? Not too many, unfortunately. I’ve already gone ahead and implemented a few suggestions of his to my own sales pages. I “just got it done”.
Blogging/Article Writing - Yeah, you should be doing this daily. This entry is going to take me 5-10 minutes to write. It certainly doesn’t require a huge amount of focus. I was awake since about 12 noon, and went to bed around 11pm. That’s 11 hours, which is 660 minutes. How much time during the day did it take to spend writing a 5-10 minute blog entry? (Someone calculate that for me
).
Procedures - Your business is running on these whether you like it or not. Are you outsourcing any of them yet? No? Have you taken the first few steps to do this, like writing an ad?
Or maybe you’re still new to online business. Maybe you’ve been considering creating a blog, or creating your first product? Now is the time to Just Get It Done. Or else… it will be a week… month… or year… later, and you’ll be wishing you had just started today.
