Find something quickly, right now, that you can be good at. Then aim to be the best that you can possibly be at that thing. Learn how to study it. Get disciplined at doing excessive training and practice. Propel yourself to new heights. You may not be the best in the world, but you’ll be the best you can be. That’s all we ask.
Getting a deal over the line can be quite exhilarating! The cut and thrust of commerce. Timetables trashed, expectations dashed and a resurrection in the final minutes. The heart is racing and the blood is pumping. All hands on deck to get it over the line!
Pick a year or an age you’ll be and figure out what you would like your life to look like at that time. You’ll be three years happily married or worth £680,000 or fit like my favourite celebrity. Use this powerful visualisation tool today because one day you’ll run out of ‘by thens’.
Get focused. Sort one thing at a time. Move swiftly. Though get the detail right. You will succeed. Press on!!!
Consider your life and this longer term goal. Commit to something quite some time away. Learn to think in years and decades rather than the moment, today or even this week. Think longer term and make better decisions.
Would you rather do your absolute best at something and come second or be off your game but still win?
Go after it. Search. Explore. Discover. Spend one week and search online, talk to people, watch clips and try things out. Be proactive. Then shortlist three of your favourite ideas. Explore them for three months. Then go for one all in. You can change later if it is no longer for you.
Don’t wait all your life to find it. Hunt it down.
Get a few small items off your list each day. And be sure to get 1-3 bigger items moved forward too.
Finish the task at hand. You might miss your train home or your favourite tv show but stick with the task until it’s complete. Or you may never finish it. The Law of Diminishing Intent might grab hold of you and bury your dreams and disciplined ways.
No one else will.
