About this ebook

Finding it hard to actually get useful things done?
Do you lack the motivation to start working on a new goal?
Have a project you've wanted to complete but aren't sure how to get going again?

Push The Dang Button already!

This book is about helping stuck people finally get things done in life. This book is about empowering people to overcome paralysis by analysis and adopt strategies to be more productive. It's all about recognizing now is the time to press the dang button and get going.

Are You Ready to Push the Buttons that Matter Most?

Everyone needs help overcoming the fear of starting. Whether it's at the beginning, the middle, or wherever they're at. Knowing that they can start at many mutually awesome places, instead of just one perfect place, is a wonderful breakthrough thought that a lot of people need help with.

Understanding genesis is all about seeing how what's inside of you progresses through to an outcome that helps everyone else out. We all have a lot of mental programming that was useful for us at the time that we used and learned it, but might not be as useful anymore. We need to take an active approach to reprogramming ourselves and to guide the new useful thoughts that come out into feelings that push us forward to achieve the things that matter most.

When we focus on consciously creating, instead of just sitting back and watching things happen, we begin to get things done. We know we don't have to be the most original or creative people in the world to create something that changes lives, whether our own or someone else's. We can recombine what exists, leverage our resources, and completely change the way things are done just by simply retelling the story from our own point of view.

===================

You're here to do something. You're here to get wonderfully valuable things done. You're here to continually move forward and to press the buttons of action instead of just looking them. You weren't put here to take up air, water, and food for nothing. You aren't here just for your own pure enjoyment.

Yes, you should have fun and you should enjoy the path, but you should also focus on getting stuff done. You really do owe it to yourself and the rest of the world to see how everything that's happened to you can be combined and focused towards something that helps other people through their own challenges in life.

When we really get to the point of wanting to see achievement and change in the world, we realize that we've got down the basics. We begin to love the process and commitment involved. We want it more than anything else in the world. We champion success through our heat-seeking mission full of passion to get things done above everything else. We go through these stages of transforming our current existence into one of a permanent state of 'DO!'

    The Art of Pushing Buttons

    It was but a short fifteen years ago that I started my adventure into embracing the internet. I was making web pages for a company in my late teen years to help pay for college and get the degree I set as a goal. What was I doing in my free time? Building computers, making web pages, and doing similar things that really interested me.

    I had no focus at all. I attempting writing articles before blogging was a thing. I was talking about whatever political events were going on. Even a few, embarrassingly, involved rants about how I thought rolling over all computers from 1999 to 2000 would make everything just a whole lot less fun for everyone. Y2K doom was serious stuff after all.

    You know what happened when none of that doom and gloom junk came true? I stopped. I just completely lost all confidence, purpose, and motivation in everything that I was doing. What should I do now? Might as well continue making drastically unsound decisions, right?

    That was about the time I started playing Everquest. If you've heard of it before, you know how big of a time-sucking mistake that was. Thanks for your empathy! My productivity went down to zero for the next three years. But hey, I had a level 70 Beastlord and level 62 Druid so there's that. (That hurt so much to type.)

    Sometimes, our most awesome goals in the world get completely thrown out of the picture because we may have pushed the button to get somewhere, but missed a wildly critical point along the way. We might not have realized it's actually a succession of buttons along that path. Discouragement ensues and we don't get to the point where we want to get more stuff done.

    Inner fire = extinguished. This book is about fixing that.

    When Goals Really Matter

    You and I both know that we have projects we want to get done. Whether it's writing a book (or even just reading one!), building a shelf in the garage, or just getting our friends to talk to us again, we all have our own goals in life.

    These things may seem silly, trivial, and not nearly as interesting to other people, but that doesn't matter. What matters is they are our goals. It's what is important to us. These are the projects that we long to get done and work towards.

    But for some reason we can't seem to muster up the strength to press the little start button in front of us. I'm talking about that little button that gets all purposeful action going. All of these hundreds of muscles in our hands and arms that would gladly press away are forever stuck without the single thought to get them in motion.

    That's what we're going to work on here: your thoughts.

    What's In The Adventure Ahead

    We're going to overcome the fear of starting. This is a major point we have to overcome to get to that next step and actually see some results. Those results, while external to us, can help build our internal motivation to keep going forward.

    Once we begin to understand the genesis of a project, how things actually get started, then we can know what needs to get done and what we need to do to get the process going smoothly.

    We'll also cover the process of consciously creating new things. And I put new in quotes there, because (without spoiling too much of the fun) let's just say King Solomon had it right. Hang tight as this comes to light in more than one of the strategies I bring to you later.

    Lastly, we'll talk about the Stages of Want to make sure you continue on with the strategies and plans that you'll go through soon. Now, maybe you're saying, Well, why are you telling me this, Richard? What do you have that I don't that makes you such a person that can give any type of advice in this situation? Good question!

    What's the Deal With Him

    I know some people will see I'm only in my mid-thirties and ask what do I know, right? That's fair, I understand that. But let me break it down a little bit and you'll see where I'm coming from. Before that though, I'll be the first to admit that the more I learn, the more I realize just how little I know. Life and learning is a cyclical, beautiful, and interesting journey.

    I've been dead since I was born.

    My umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck, I was blue and minutes away from death, as I'm told. That was the start of it all. For the next five years, I was deathly allergic to everything but chicken, rice, and dog food. Much to my mom's dismay, I was an experimental kid - woof!

    This continued on in cycles of sickness and hardship until I turned 20 and found out I had Clark Stage 5
