As the great Kenny Rogers used to sing, “know when to walk away, know when to run”. Sometimes in life it’s a good idea to know when the time has come to move on.

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.

Know When It’s Time
Timing is a critical part of life. Some timings you can affect and some you cannot.
When you decide to leave a party, that is your impact on timing. When your favourite superstar arrives at the party 10 minutes after you have left, that’s timing not in your control.
Everything is based on timing. A second too early or too late can change the course of your life. Yet half of it you can’t even control.
Focus on the timing you can affect and let the other ones be what they are.

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.

Giving Is Getting
Seeing the happy smile on a child’s face is wonderful, especially if your words or actions helped get the smile there.
Sometimes it can be from just some simple words of encouragement or appreciation or noticing something they’ve done. Sometimes it will come from a gift you have given them, a gift of time, money, or something they enjoy or wanted.
If you have the opportunity to help bring happiness to someone, it may be your duty to do it, though certainly it will bring you far more peace in your soul than what it cost you in time or money.

Reflect From Seven Points
When considering giving your opinion, it’s helpful to reflect on things a little bit from various points of view first. You won’t have lived in their shoes but you can think a little about what that would mean if you could.
Also, what was this topic like 200 years ago? What would be the ideal outcome today?
Can you think of a few more ways to consider the question from a different perspective?

Plan In Writing
Make your plans in writing. Review them frequently. Revise them as necessary.
This one habit, practised daily, at least weekly, will have a dramatic impact on your life.

Focus On What You’d Love
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.
