I actually like to do that too, but often run into a problem that is a bit outside of control causing a block. This is often caused by a tool that is misplaced, though that can be mitigated by a bit of planning.I understand the desire to make the relative get moving on investing more, and it is okay to occasionally inquire about whether or not progress has been made, but don't make it a burden for yourself. You were generous enough to give your relative your time and advice, and were caring enough to follow up. It is now up to the relative on whether action should be taken.
If you are looking for general advice regarding getting past procrastinating, I've found it useful to not tackle an entire project at once, but rather commit to just tackle a small part. Once I actually get started on the project, I often find it not so bad to make some more progress, and maybe even do the entire project.
Another issue is when I have to coordinate with another family member, who may not see priority in the same way you do. I haven't figure out how to influence people. It's worse than work since I could get my manager to back me if the schedule slips.
