You Don’t Really Want It.

If you won’t sacrifice or put in the full effort required to get the results you want, then you have a wish, not a goal. You hope someone will come do it for you. You’re not intent on success. You want someone to give you what you want with no effort required on your part.

I can always tell who is fully committed to their desired results. They create a plan, put in the work, review their progress daily and get the results they were after.

Everyone else? They delude themselves with excuses, reasons and stories. Results don’t lie.

Gathering Momentum

In life, when you plant enough seeds, you are bound to gather some momentum come harvest time.

Think of times in your life where you networked, wrote letters, made calls and passed leaflets through letterboxes. You were trying to get the attention of someone, anyone.

Then someone returned your call. You were pleasant and effective. Word started to spread. More people were attracted to your message, product or service. And your good manners.

This is how every little business started and how all smaller businesses grew into larger ones. Some call it the Law of Attraction. Others say it is the result of sowing then reaping. Still others might conclude it is the hand of god.

Whatever you attribute it to, remember to prepare for, and take benefit from, gathering momentum when you do find it in your life.

Celebrate The Royalty

I received great news on Tuesday! I received my first ever royalty payment. My book, Achieve Anything, has sold more copies than I imagined at this point! Copies have been purchased in 24 countries, across six continents, around the world.

It was really exciting to have another income stream working. But even more exciting was the thought that so many people have been interested in buying the book and changing their lives. And quite a few people have left great, gold-star reviews or reached out to me with kind words or related how much it has been helping them. That’s priceless.

So I’ve been celebrating the royalty payment today and what it signifies. Hopefully I can help or inspire far more people in the weeks and months to come.

Thank you to all of you who have bought the book, got in touch, written a review, recommended it to a friend, family member or colleague or are simply using the content to improve your own lives and therefore the lives of others too. You are awesome. I’m cheering for you and want you to win!!!

Sunrise or Sunset?

Which do you prefer? Is it the energy, optimism and excitement of a dawning new day? Or would you rather the calming, closing curtain as the sun sets and you appreciate the day you had?

The Stories You Tell Yourself

Your stories and opinions don’t matter much to most other people. But they are made up of your biases, experiences and desired outcomes. Listen carefully to the words you choose and what they really mean.

The stories you tell are easily dismissed by others and rarely impact them. The real impact is on you and how you get on in the world. Make sure the stories are empowering not complaining.

Push Through

Sometimes you want to give up, shrug it off or let go of the dream. But don’t.

You need to push through your mental and physical barriers. It may be hard. You may try to convince yourself that it is not worth the time or effort. But double down on the effort, push through harder than ever before.

Think of how it will feel to win, to succeed, or to make your dream come true. Hold that positive thought in your head. See the positive outcome rather than any negative one. Just having a go and having that experience will be a positive moment in your life. Cherish it.

When you feel low and want to go, stay and fight. Make yourself proud of your self-discipline and courage, regardless of the actual result.

Buy Groceries Online

I love this great time saving hack. We have done so for about a decade.

Just copy the order from the week before, add a few new things and remove a few things and voilà. In under 10 minutes you have what you want being delivered to your door within a 1 hour slot on your preferred day. Amazing.

It saves over an hour of wandering around the grocery store plus travel time there and back. Your list is online and ready so no making a new one. No standing in queues. No picking up extra stuff you don’t need but caught your eye.

No petrol used, or other energy. No traffic congestion either.

It’s amazing. Try it.

Eat Less

Stop before you are full. Don’t snack. Or if you do, take 2-6 of the item and return the pack to the fridge or cupboard. Then, only eat what you took and walk away.

Drink a glass of water when you get out of bed. Have another one every time you go to have a snack or a meal.

Commit and stand tall and be proud of yourself for sticking to your plan each hour.

Move more too!

Where You Shine Your Light

Be aware of what you highlight and focus on. Just because you shine your light on one spot, doesn’t mean the other million spots you could have highlighted don’t exist. They do.

When people distract you with their preferred stories, you don’t get to work on your life story. Turned down the noise or even turn it off. You don’t need the media, your friends, colleagues, social media and entertainment to distract you.

Shine your light on your work. Stay focused. Get it done. Then take a well deserved break. Before long, get back at it. Everything else is noise distracting you from your dream life.
