Plan Ahead
There are so many benefits to planning ahead. It will save you time and money. It also saves you energy and allows people to take full advantage of great opportunities.
Like a Boy Scout: be prepared.
The magic is often in the actual planning itself. You will recognise bottlenecks in advance and see how things work well before they need to.
Go on. Draw out your treasure map for the future. Plan ahead.

Find Common Ground
Great conversations find common ground. If both parties look for things they have in common, most often they will realise that there are very few things they actually disagree with.
If you begin with the belief you are miles apart, on all the issues, then you probably will be. Our minds tend to prove beliefs we hold.
But if you believe you probably have a lot more in common than you think, your brain will seek out those common points. And often you’ll find that it is true.

Negotiations Often Require 7 Touches
When you begin a negotiation, start by thinking you will go back and forth 7 times or even more.
Don’t start out thinking it will be one and done. Begin with the idea that they will reject your first 3-4 offers. In fact, you can make the first, full offers such that they are very likely to reject them.
When you prepare for rejections and 7 touches, it makes it easier getting through the negotiation.

Why Wait?
If you want to achieve something, why wait five years to start? What are you waiting for? Start working on it right now from today.
Start with the idea and set aside 30 minutes in your calendar today to research it online. Book the specific 30 minutes in, say from 8:30pm to 9:00pm.
Yes, you’ll miss that tv show you kind of like. However, this small sacrifice will also prove whether you are serious about pursuing this idea or you only sort of want to do it.
Then, put 15-130 minutes a day into your calendar for the next 7 days so you’re clear when you are working on this. And then do it!

Results Or Distraction?
What do you focus on? How do you plan your day? Do you let diversions or drama interfere with your discipline?
The more results you achieve in a day, the faster you’ll grow your business. The more distractions you allow in your day, slows your business down, costs you more and weakens your brand and your reputation.
Use time wisely. Stack the results!

Be Willing To Work
Everyone wants an easy route to success. Sit on the beach, drink Mai-Tai’s and let the wins pile up.
That would be great!
It’s not really realistic though. I suppose a few people could organise their situation to have this happen. Though I doubt it would work for most people.
Recall music or sports managers or agents that have ripped off people. You can outsource work, but you had better be very tightly managing the outsource activity. Trust but verify – daily! At worst you could do it weekly. But do not leave it longer than that.
