When do people realise they have more than enough? If they didn’t waste so much on luxury items, trips, gambling and other non-investment activities, they could retire in peace. Maybe they could do it earlier than they ever considered.
Sit down with pen and paper and get your thoughts churning. Review your income, your savings, pension and investments. Look out 20, 30 and 40 years and see what you could have if you focused.
When eating a piece of pie, eat the crust first. Sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s not. But at least you’re saving the best for last.
Save, invest and grow your money. You can reinvest the growth part. You can also spend it. But protect your capital as a high priority.
If you lose some or all of your capital, it can be very hard to replace. It takes more time and effort and is not always ideal.
Put guardrails in place to preserve your capital. Get great people working on growing it.
Whatever you are focused on, could you do more? If you aim to but one cashflowing house per year, could you do five or 14? If you want five new customers a month, could you win over 25?
If you’re spending a lot of your time on nonsense or unnecessary admin, review the situation. Delegate more and free up your time to double your business.
Do a one day time audit. Write down what you did every 15 minutes of your day. See what activities you can eliminate, delegate, remove, stop or be more efficient with.
Serve more people, make more money, have more of an impact. It will become fun and lucrative in no time.
What is your fantasy life? Write it down. Then figure out how to bring it to life and make it happen.
Where do you want to be in 5 and 10 years? Who do you want to be around? What will you be doing?
Start thinking about, and writing down, these great and wonderful future thoughts today. Get a notebook dedicated to your future you.
Note down things on a daily basis, as many as you can, of what you want, or don’t want, in your life.
Review these daily or at least weekly. Focus on the want, not the how, and the when, not the cost.
Where there is a will, there is a way. Start today!
If you focus on you and make your life the best it can possibly be (health, fitness, wealth, relationships and spiritual elements), you will be independent and happy. No one will need to come and save you.
But if you focus on others, and let your elements drift and become burdensome, then you’re going to need help from others. You don’t need to do that.
So focus on making your life better every day.
Prepare well in advance. Prepare with contingency plans. Allow 3 times more time than you think you’ll need.
A prepared general wins battles and wars. A prepared team wins championships. Be so prepared that by taking action on your plan it practically guarantees victory.
We choose to do what makes us feel best. Sometimes we can go into self destruction mode because it makes us feel better. We decided we don’t deserve the great life we have so we try to ruin it. Strange. But true.
The thing is, we can change it all up in a minute. We could do great things each day. But then we can’t wallow in self pity.
Choose to do good things each day. Take care of yourself. Take care of your family and friends. Spend quality time with them rather then just throwing money at them.
Do some hard work on yourself and to help those around you. Stop pushing people away so you can say noone cares. Don’t be a black hole absorbing everyone’s energy. Radiate like the sun, and let your warm love envelope them and fill them with life energy.
When the sh*t is about to hit the fan, and preferably well before, get some help. Help will come in a myriad of ways, when you start seeking it. Seek and you shall find.
Even if you’re uncomfortable, go find it. You will then shift from Uncomfortable to Unstoppable.
