10 Years

What seems impossible in one year could be totally possible in 10 years. Being at the top of your sport, industry, or craft in just one year is highly unlikely. However, if you put 10 grinding and effective years of work in, to training and honing your skills, you certainly could be at the top.

You can build a billion dollar business in 10 years. Go from being 10 years old and dreaming of playing in the NHL, NBA, MLB, or Premier League and in 10 years, at the age of 20, be playing for your favourite team! The Beatles were only together for 10 years and look how well they did!

What if you dedicated the next 10 years to personal growth, systems and structures? What could you accomplish, achieve, create?

10 years…. You could achieve anything.

Best Time?

Was 1920-2000 the best 80 years in history to be alive? One may be able to make an argument for it.

The greatest wealth increase per capita seemed to happen in this period. There were huge social changes and great technological changes too. Voting rights and laws were improved. The tv, radio, airplane, medicine, peace, and the internet all became ubiquitous in this time. So did indoor plumbing and electricity!

There was no 24/7 information access. There was no AI. Jobs and houses were easier to come by in that era.

Perhaps this century is an even better time?! It depends how you look at it.

Rescue Me

Rescue me from myself. Everyone should consider this thought.

If you take no action, you won’t improve. Yet we can be quite lazy or procrastinate or be distractible, and then do nothing. Yet we can justify the nothing and make up our own stories about why we haven’t changed or reached our goals in 5 years.

Sometimes we want someone to come and rescue us. But be clear, no one is coming to save you. You have to rescue yourself. I strongly suggest you get a plan together with dates, times, and actions, and get working on it today.

Prepare

So much of life is preparing. You prepare meals, your workday, a speech, for school, for life, for a holiday, for death.

Life is a series of events that you prepare for and then experience. Sometimes the preparation is minimal and other times it is extensive. You’re best to prepare a little more though as it usually means a better result for the event.

Progress Compounds

Do one thing each day toward your goal. In three days it won’t feel or look like much but in 30 days you will feel momentum and have a trend going.

In just 90 days you can have made a huge difference in your life or project.

Value the small and consistent wins. Take actions, large and small, towards your clearly written goal.

Have faith. Keep hope in your soul. Maintain a willingness to continue. Stay disciplined. Be resilient. Then you will see, and benefit from, how progress compounds.

Play A Bigger Game

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.

Write It Down

Writing things down make thoughts more real and allows you to easily review them and track progress.

The power of writing is immense. This is why it is included as the third step in the seven step process to success that I outlined in my book, Achieve Anything.

Write down your goals. Write down your progress. Write down your slip ups. Track progress in writing too.

Buy several inexpensive notebooks and start writing down everything. Soon you’ll find gold.
