In 20 Years

Posted on October 9, 2022

What do you want your life to be like? Where do you want to be? Physically? Financially? Relationships? Work? Career? Hobbies? Family? Health? Fitness?

Take your current age and add 20 years. If you’re 43, add 20 and visualise your life at 63. List out what your life is like. Write it down. Note the clothes you’re wearing, your fitness, how relaxed you are, where you live (sea, mountain, warm, cool), how you spend your days and how delighted you are with life.

Think about your future. Visualise the dream. Add in all the detail. Make it very real and clear to see, not just the idle, transitory thought.

If you want that life in 20 years, what will you need to adjust to get there? Save and invest more of your income? Change some habits? Learn to delegate better and feel good about it? Outsource?

Make these changes now and work on the changes through till Christmas. Then sacrifice and discipline into 2023 so that by the end of that year, you are well on your way to that dream life. Then keep improving every year for 19 more years. I know you’ll make. You can achieve anything that you want bad enough. Especially in 20 years. Go!

Try Something Different

Posted on October 5, 2022

Pygmalion has a soft spot in my heart. Probably since I read the play in my teens after finding my Mom’s Secondary School copy in the house.

So a few weeks ago I saw that a production was playing at a local theatre in Hampton Hill and I booked tickets for the family.

It was a Wednesday night and finished late but I wanted to take my wife and kids to it. So that’s what happened.

Despite some initial reluctance, it all went well. It was a very enjoyable performance!

It’s on for a few more nights. Get tickets here. https://www.hamptonhilltheatre.org.uk/production/pygmalion

The theme relates very well to my #1 bestselling book Achieve Anything. Perhaps that’s another reason why I like it!

Try something different. Your world might shift.

Which Fact And How?

Posted on September 28, 2022

You’re in a discussion and there is a dispute. Either you’re not looking at the same fact or you’re interpreting the fact differently.

It really helps to look at the same fact at the same time. Then you can discuss it from different perspectives. After that, consider the importance of that particular fact to each person. If it is weighed differently, it will be seen differently.

Finally, if someone changes the subject away from that one fact you’re engaging on, they may have realised your point is more valid but don’t want to admit it. Just smile inwardly.

Delegate When Possible

Posted on September 23, 2022

We’ve got a lot to do in our lives. So when possible, be sure to delegate tasks.

You already do this in a sense. Someone else probably grows your food. And a truck driver brings fuel to the pumps for your vehicle. You might even occasionally ask a partner, family member or friend to pick up something from the shops for you while they are there.

You have other people do lots of things for you. Figure out what else you can ask to have done to save your time. Then you can spend more of your time on the things you truly want to do.

Plan In Detail

Posted on September 20, 2022

You can start with a generalisation. When you imagine an amazing future or visualise the realisation of an incredible dream, it can be big and broad.

But then you need to get deeper into the detail. Like planning a holiday, you start with skiing, beach or camping and then add the key details next. You need to know where, with who, when and how. You’ll also need to know how much so you can have the right cards with you or funds in place.

After the big details are in place you need the next level details. You’ll need to know which airline, which gate, which row and which seat. Maybe even what to bring with you on board and what you can’t bring.

The more precise you can be with the details, the more likely you’ll get what you want. I understand Queen Elizabeth II was very keen on the details. She understood the importance of the slightest thing.

You don’t need to be royalty to dress and present yourself well. And focusing on the details can be done by anyone.

Upgrade your skills in this area. Put the effort in. If you’re currently a five in the detail department, learn how to become a six or even seven. Search it up on the internet. Watch some videos. Practice. Get better at it. Your life will improve in many areas and you’ll be surprised at the benefits you find around you.

Era’s End. And Also Begin.

Posted on September 19, 2022

The Queen’s passing marked the end of an exceptional era. I stood at the side of the road Monday and watched her cortege pass right in front of me. Like time, The Moment passed and more moments after that.

But time stops for no one. Things continue to progress. This happens whether you want the event in question to be happening or not.

It really did feel like the end of an era though. It has been an exceptional era that kept getting better. Many people did not want it to end or they believed it never really would.

The Queen was a common thread in a lot of people’s lives, both in the UK and around the world. This may have helped us feel more united in our grief and the uncertainty for the future.

Now our new future begins. With a new King, we will begin a new era. We don’t know how this era will go, nor do we know how it will end. But we do know a new one will begin after this new one. And on it will go.
