And if you don’t, can’t, or won’t, read some things on sleep. Then you can train your brain to get the best sleep every night.

Time Flies
Have you ever noticed how fast time flies? You go out with a friend for an hour at lunch, which seems like a decent amount of time, and walk away thinking it was barely enough to scratch the surface.
I can meet a good friend for four hours and walk away thinking of all the things I forgot to ask and wanted to know. It’s crazy.
It’s a good idea to make a list of all the topics and questions you want to cover beforehand so you’re at least prepared.

What Were You Aiming At?
Did you hit it? Or did you miss? If you can’t tell, it is probably because you didn’t clearly define the target you really wanted. And you may have been vague on what you really needed to do.
‘Grow the business’, is too vague. You would need to say that you would grow it from £800,000 turnover to £2.1 million turnover between January 1st 2026 and December 31st 2026. In addition, you want profit to grow from £80,000 to £250,000 in the same time period.
Profit margin is growing at a faster pace than turnover as we get more sales while being more efficient.
Get clearer about what and when you are aiming for.
The clearer the target ????, the greater the likelihood is that you’ll hit it where you want.

Add Value

Stay In The Game
Most people quit at some point. You just need to stay in the game a little longer and you can win a lot.
Don’t give up. Stay disciplined. Train daily. Positive mindset. Step by step. Forward movement.
You will get there.

The Road Ahead
Keep an eye on the road ahead. If you look away too long, you could find yourself off the road and in a difficult predicament.
It may be more interesting to watch the trees go by and see the animals and birds. However, sometimes not paying attention can be a life or death outcome.
Stay alert.

Time Together
Enjoy every minute of it. We must be present and focused as it is a rare delight.
We don’t know how many days we have left on this spinning globe so it’s best we squeeze every ounce of joy out of our moments together.

Playfulness
This is a fabulous personal characteristic to develop.
It’s a great skill to have. Your spouse will appreciate it, as will your children. As your parents age, they’ll appreciate it more as well.
Develop this skill as soon as you can and continue to build on it through the years.

You Can’t Stop The Story
You hear a few details about a scenario. Maybe you hear it on the radio, see them in the paper or watch a segment on tv. Maybe it’s something you heard in a friend group or from your family.
Then, you fill in the blanks. Then, quickly, you make a judgement. And then you’ve closed that open loop. You have decided the answers to all those uncertain questions in your mind. Job done. Your brain can relax and work on other things.
It is so easy. Many people do this every day. When they hear about a friend in trouble, career changes, health, relationships, finances, companies struggling, or even death, they fill in all the blanks with various ideas from their mind.
Think about this today and how many times you fill in the blanks on any situation.
Then remember that most people are doing the same thing with you. And as you know, once their internal gavel falls, there is little chance of any reversal, even with ample evidence, because you can’t stop the story.
