I have re-learned something this week that has really helped me look at my time and how to take more control of my time. For most of us we have a lot to do and it sometimes seems that we do not have enough time to accomplish those things. Whether it be on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. This article will help you take control of the emotions and feelings that you have about your time to then get more things done.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the amount of tasks, duties, etc. that you need to get done? Are you being stretched in too many directions? Are you thinking about other tasks while performing the task that you are in?
We all have the same 24 hours in the day to make of, as we will, but how is it that some people are able to accomplish so much and others are scrambling to get the minimum required in any given day? How can some find the time to balance work, personal life, health, and family and still manage to take that vacation without stress or concern? What abilities do they have that I don’t?
I was asking myself these same questions five years ago as I was struggling to make a living as an actor in New York. I worked two and sometimes three jobs to barely get by and make enough to pay for the necessities of life. I was searching for the magical cure to my busy but unproductive Read More...
I recently posted on Facebook a thought that helps me to stay focused on what’s most important to me…
Hold onto your goals lightly.
That post inspired someone to ask the questions.
“Could you elaborate? Doesn’t this go against that whole ‘magnificent obsession’ thing that Napoleon Hill describes?”
I love these questions and remain amazed and grateful for how freely we can all share thoughts and questions now.
To answer the second question directly. No. That’s not my experience at all.
I love when i have a ‘magnificent obsession’ burning inside of me. Holding onto a goal lightly and having a ‘magnificent obsession’ complement each other in a perfect way. In fact, i believe you can’t really have a ‘magnificent’ obsession without holding onto goals lightly.
Who would like to spend less time on the phone and experience the same amount of results or better? Anybody interested in how you can have more clients eager to hear from you? What about increase your sales from where you are currently? Anybody want to increase your income by an additional 10% this coming year?
Well, if you said yes to these questions than I am going to share something that will revolutionize the way you do business!!! It is a brand new approach I (and I alone) came up with and if you’ll apply what I am about to impart to you even a little bit, you will grow your business to amazingly high levels. Levels only people the like of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, Steven Segal, Paula Abdul and Ryan Seacrest have ever seen.
Are you ready for the earth shattering, weather changing phenomenon that is sweeping the country? You are? Okay.The brilliant idea I am going to share is… Now this info should stay within the walls of those reading this Read More...
During the past several weeks (actually months) I have been doing a great deal of soul searching and have been attempting to parse out what the difference has been between the times of feast and famine in my business. I believe I have come up with something that may be beneficial to those of us either experiencing a similar challenge or are interested in reducing the duration of the famine.
Looking back to the time in my business when I was really rolling, particularly my first two years as a speaker at FPD. Here are my top 4 Keys that allowed me to break records and bust loose.
1) Attitude: Simply put, from the beginning I believed that I was the best. I would be willing to wager one of the reasons Alan Mong kicks so much tail is because he has a very healthy belief in his skills. I Read More...

Life Lessons on Failure
It was my senior year at Sammamish High School in Bellevue, WA and I was preparing to take that next big step in many young peoples lives. I was looking into attending college and had begun the process of checking out schools and determining what kind of options that I had in front of me. My grades were solid (about 3.4); I was very active in sports from football, wrestling & track. In addition, I was involved in Read More...
If you want to be successful in life or any endeavor, you first have to decide what success looks like in order to know when you have achieved it.
Last month we posted a video on our blog entitled “What is Success”. In the video, everyday people off the street where asked to define the word success. That got me thinking how our clients and readers would answer that question. Which leads me to this month’s contest:
There is one thing that more than anything else, holds us back from achieving what we want and desire.
I am talking about fear. Fear, in its various forms, is the biggest killer of our quest for successes, so why is this?
In its simplest terms, fear is an emotion that we experience through a physical response. I’m sure you have felt this physical response before: your palms sweat, your heartbeat increases, your body temperature goes up. This reaction was very-very useful to us, millions of years ago, when the things that cause this reaction in us were out to kill us, such as large animals looking for dinner.
But now, that emotionally based fear response has become extremely unhealthy. I say this Read More...
Understanding the role that your talents and skills play in your career is foundational for your personal improvement.
In the realm of personal development, there is an incredible focus on working smarter not harder. While that is a concept that I have found incredibly valuable in countless scenarios in the past 20 years, I believe that it is only half of the equation.
What many people who are ‘selling’ the work smarter not harder ideology omit is that the AND principle can be found at the core of almost every Elite performance. What I mean by that Read More...
