Excuses and Time

Do you have lots of reasons for your inaction?  What are your rationalizations for skirting that big, ugly frog that is still staring you in the face?  Are you waiting for conditions to be just right?  Will that ever really happen?  Do you tell yourself that you need to know more before you can do it?  Is the cost of the mental anguish worth more than the value of your time to take action?

"I. Hate. Excuses.  Excuses are a disease."
-Cam Newton-

Action and Time

What have you taken action on today?  Does the time fly by and you are busy but don't accomplish what you intended for the day?  Do you just need to read one more article about how to do it?  Are you stuck in the information loop?  Are you afraid to take action?  Can you choose to be bold?  What's the worst thing that could happen if you stopped reading about it and just did it?  

"The more information that's out there, the greater the returns to just be willing to sit down and apply yourself.  Information isn't what's scarce; it's the willingness to do something with it"
-Tyler Cowen-

Focus and Time

What is my word for 2018?  FOCUS!  How will this word help me create more success?  Do you have a "squirrel" personality?  Are you easily distracted like I am?  Will repeating the word FOCUS help me remain on task?  Will FOCUS save me time?  I think it will!

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.  
-Brian Tracy-

Words and Time

Have you thought about what word would sum up your 2017?  What will your word for 2018 be?  Can taking the time to choose a word help you create what you want to achieve?  Something to weigh your decisions against?  Will you accept the challenge to let a word guide your year?

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.  
=Robin Williams-

Adding Value and Time

What does it take to add value to a person or situation?  What can you do to offer a better quality product than your competitor?  Can you somehow make it more convenient for the consumer to do business with you?  Are you selling to the masses or have you identified a specific niche?

"To add value to others, one must first value others."
-John Maxwell-

Chaos and Time

Unpredicatable, Disorganized, Random, Commotion, Upheaval, Turmoil,Disorder, Disarray,Confusion, Mayhem, Bedlam, Pandemonium, Havoc, Tumult, Disruption, Uproar

What does chaos cost you in terms of productivity?  How long does it take you to get focused again after an interruption?  Does your brain thrive in chaos or long for calm, organized predictable order?Could the chaos around you be holding you back from achieving your greatness? Recognizing your potential? 

"Chaos is inherent in all compounded things.  Strive on with diligence."
-Buddha- 

Distractions and Time

What price do you pay for allowing yourself to be distracted?  Are you ever really able to return the focus to what you were working on? Does one distraction turn into a string of distractions and you are never really able to accomplish what you set out to do?  Could this really be a $588 billion problem facing our nation?  Can you develop the discipline to see the job through this time? No one or thing gets my attention until this job is done?  

"Multi-tasking arises out of distraction itself."

-Marilyn vos Savant-
