Focus on what you would love, not what you would not want in your life. Whatever you are thinking about, that’s what you’re gonna get more of. So if you think of things that you don’t want, you’ll get more of them and if you think of things that you do want, you’ll get more of those.
Your mindset is incredibly powerful, so learn to use it very well. Become a specialist in how to use your mind.
Watch history to learn from others. Don’t watch too long though. Better to spend more time making history.
Conceive of a plan and execute that plan with speed and precision. Adjust your sails as needed but don’t let your foot off the accelerator.
Get out there. Make history!
Find what you enjoy doing and stay obsessed. Spend time learning about it and improving your skills.
Success will come. Maybe not as fast as you would like. However, over time, it may end up more exciting than you ever imagined!
Trying is useless. Unless you’re willing to exhaust all possibilities.
When I hear someone say they’ll try, I usually don’t hold out much hope. I will though, if they are the type of person who will exhaust all possibilities before they conclude that they have tried and failed.
Too many people think trying is thinking about getting something done, if they have any spare time. They make a half-hearted effort with no consequences for failure. Don’t live like that.
Exhaust all possibilities. There is no try.
Dream big and write it down. Hold yourself accountable. You can only track that which is written down. Do not leave your plan loose in your mind.
Write down your vision in detail. Review it daily. Update it when you need to.
To achieve your goals, you should have a plan that is written down. And if you have a plan, you should have specific milestones. Those milestones need to be checked on frequently. Sometimes this means daily and sometimes it might mean weekly.
One way to greatly increase your rate of success is to have timed, specific, milestones that you move closer to every day. Not only that, you need to be tracking them, frequently.
Track your success daily. This will help you keep your focus on your important goals.
Ideally your day is planned a day ahead or more. As your life gets busier with important meetings, ceremonies or events, you may even start booking yourself a year or two in advance.
You may be part of a year-long concert tour starting eight months from now, or you might have tickets to the Olympics in 16 months. Regardless, you should be booking in the key events you want in your life.
You also benefit from blocking time with key tasks for tomorrow. What time will you wake up? Get out of bed? Eat breakfast? Get in your shower, get dressed, get to your work desk and start working
Note the priorities of the day and how much time each task will take. Make it a competition to see if you can complete a task in the time you allocated.
Once your day ahead is planned, you need to keep the plan close by and execute on your plan. Try not to let meetings over-run or too many distractions creep in. Remember, this plan is to achieve your priorities, not get distracted responding to other people’s priorities.
Stay focused. Move swiftly. Speak only when necessary. Keep interactions short but effective.
An amazing thing happens every night. Your brain is cleared, your body rested and you get to begin again on making your life an incredible story.
Yesterday’s challenges are bygones. You start afresh. Let go of the past and launch strongly into the day.
Every day you can begin again. Whether you are further ahead or further behind, you have the choice to begin again.
The greatest thing you can do in life is be the best you can be every day. It is hard for anyone to ask for more.
If you aim to push yourself to new limits everyday, you will continue to evolve and improve. That is really all that anyone could ask for.
Don’t give up or make assumptions. Sometimes we need to simply try again. And again.
If you apply for a job and don’t hear back, follow up! Be proactive and call them. Better yet, call them right after the application and make sure they received it, and if they have any immediate questions.
People are busy and have distractions. You need to cut through that. Get on their agenda. Keep pressing forward. Eventually you will win. ????
