The Fabian Society was founded in London in 1884. It was created as a political movement, and named after the ‘Cunctator’
In Roman times, Fabius Maximus, the Cunctator, drove militarily superior Hannibal crazy, by endlessly avoiding and delaying engagement
The strategy of unending delay turned out to be effective, as the objectives were constantly changing. The term ‘procrastination’ was born, and it could be very effective. Events could take their course, and people could change their minds, before committing to irreversible policies
Fabian entrepreneurs include Bill Gates of Microsoft, and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook. Both used cautious approaches to building their business. ‘Make haste slowly’ worked for them
In everyday life, there’s a correlation between procrastination and lack of urgency. Confronted by an angry bear, one might opt for a quicker decision process (perhaps involuntarily!)
At times when procrastination is just a function of lack of willpower, or low motivation, maybe we need to seek a goal that’s really important to us, and associate a strict timeline with its delivery?
Planning how best to pass tax-efficiently to your children, the legacy you have spent your entire life creating, might be among the very best goals, for you and your family
Generally, clients are bad at filtering information and legacy planning is a technical subject that, done properly, will likely take around 52 weeks from start to finish
Here’s some free motivation. If you live to 80, that’s equates to just 4,000 weeks on the planet. If you’re reading this, and you’re 65 now, there’s maybe only 780 weeks left to make decisions, for your family
After that, HMRC will decide for you, and aim to confiscate 40% of everything you’ve worked for!
