Simple Question For Success

It's the world's simplest recipe for success; Stand up, take a step, REPEAT!

A member wrote asking how to best use such simple advice:

1) Stop whatever you are doing. Find a place where nobody will interrupt you for at least 5-minutes.

2) Focus on YOU.

3) Ask, "How is my life going?" Open your mind and let your thoughts flow to the different roles of your life. Bring them into focus.

4) For areas going well, continue your momentum. For areas of concern, ask," What CAN I do to make it better?"

5) Immediately take action based on your answers. Never stop.

5-minutes a day is all it takes to stay on track. Check in with yourself. Adjust. Keep moving.

How To Multiply Your Time Jul 28, 2022

How To Multiply Your Time

Wouldn’t it be great if you could create more time in your day without giving anything up?

The secret is how you prioritize the projects already on your plate. That requires a simple understanding:

1) Working on multiple products simultaneously only delays completing all the projects.

2) When you complete a product, not only is it off your plate, it begins producing your expecting results. It also frees up time to move on to your next project.

The next time that you are trying to find more time, ask -

“What can I finish right now that will give me more time tomorrow - and every day after that?”

You will love how you have so much more time in your day.

How to Live Joyfully No Matter What Jul 27, 2022

How to Live Joyfully No Matter What

Would you like to be happy every day of the week? Maybe it's time to start thinking like a happy person?

There's no magic to being happier.

Rose-colored glasses are not required.

Just start looking at your day-to-day life the way a happy person does.

Give this a try:

1) Accept that merely being alive means you will run into occasional challenges.

2) Realize that dealing with challenges is a privilege that comes with being alive.

3) Welcome frustration. That means that you are not satisfied and are beginning to make adjustments.

4) Accept responsibility for solving your challenges. Run forward and fix them as soon as possible.

5) Deal with everything that life throws at you. Get a great night's sleep. Have another great day tomorrow.

It's amazing how that kind of mindset makes most challenges never show up in the first place.

Common Characteristics of Highly Successful People

Do you wish you could find a mentor to help you along the way?

Every mentor I’ve ever had has made a point of validating that I possessed three characteristics for success.

Would you pass their test?

1) Do you have a burning desire to achieve your goal?

2) Are you a coachable person and prepared to accept the wisdom and guidance of others?

3) Are you willing to undertake all actions to achieve your success?

Wouldn’t you want this in someone that was asking for your help?

Talk your walk. Walk your talk. That’s a great life.

Practice Makes Greatness

It’s been said that Practice makes perfect.

That might be true if you were able to practice perfectly. If that were the case, why would you need to practice?

Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent.

Practice bad thinking, and you will get all the bad thoughts you could ever want.

Practice makes permanent.

Practice bad manners and are sure to get better at being rude.

Practice makes permanent.

Practice bad relationship skills, and you are guaranteed to miss out on the best life has to offer.

Practice makes permanent.

It is always that way, it will never change, and you can harness its power.

Practice being positive, forward-thinking, and believing that life is good. That’s what you will get.

Practice being a good person that is always thinking of others. You will find yourself surrounded by good people.

Practice being present, respectful, and loving in your relationships. You will never be alone.

Yes, practice makes permanent, but it also makes for greatness.

Life Altering Questions Jul 22, 2022

Life Altering Questions

A long time ago, it occurred to me that life is nothing more than a giant scavenger hunt. Yes, life is full of questions, and it’s long enough for you to figure out all the essential answers. And the winners are the people who figure out the solution for what you are seeking.

Here are a few that I use on a regular basis to get me thinking:

1) What do you want to do?

2) What do you want to have?

3) Where do you want to go?

4) What contribution do you want to make?

5) What do you want to become?

6) What do you want to learn?

7) Who do you want to spend your time with?

8) How much money do you want to earn, save, and invest?

9) How much time do you want off?

10) What will you do to create optimum health?

I’ll repeat it. Life is full of questions, and it’s long enough for you to figure out all the essential answers. It’s time to get busy.

My Friends are Jealous of My Success

Have you ever had a crazy day that has you putting out fires and wondering when it will be time to go home?

And, did I mention, you were doing what you love and want to be doing - successfully?

Why is it that life gets crazier when things go well?

There’s a simple answer.

No matter what you do, when enough people begin paying attention to you, your life will change.

Some folks will love you. Some will hate you.

Others won’t have an opinion but will say something anyway.

Many will be jealous. Lots will be proud.

It doesn’t matter what you do. You will know when you have succeeded when the lovers and the haters all come out to play at the same time. Focus on the lovers.

Knowing Who I Am Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

Superman lives for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. You’re pretty super too! What's driving you?

--

Do You Have a ‘Who I Am’ Statement?

Do you have a roadmap for who you are and how you operate in the world?

You need a ‘Who I am’ document.

Who I am - is not a mission statement.

Who I am - is not a list of affirmations.

Who I am - is not a value statement

Who I am is a personal cheat sheet that reminds you why you do what you do.

How do you see yourself?

How do others see you?

How do you act in situations?

When life gets in the way, you can always turn to your pre-determined ‘Who I am’ for the corrective actions to take.

Remember -

Inconsistency in behavior will whittle away at your soul.

Consistency will strengthen you and makes you happy.

It’s time to be like Superman. His ‘Who I am' is Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

What’s yours?

Taking Action in Your Life Easily Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

Get what you want by using CALLS to action: Clarity. Accurate Thinking. Leverage. Systemization. Life is about to get much more relaxed.

Taking Action in Your Life Easily

There is a simple formula that you can apply to get what you want, enjoy the process, and ensure that it will last for a lifetime.

1) Get clarity. You must clearly define what you want. When you don’t know what path you are heading, you will drift with frustration.

2) Accurate Thinking. Assume that you are not getting the correct information. Double check and confirm. Then move forward. The more accurate your understanding of your plan, the more comfortable and quicker it will be to get there.

3) Leverage. You may think that you can do all the heavy lifting yourself, and you can see in the beginning. But why? You’ll get there faster if you find a way to leverage every action for maximum results. Don’t go it alone.

4) Systemization. Create ritualized actions that move you closer to what you want. Once there, automate those actions. Your purpose required an operating system to stay focused and on track.

Get what you want to be using CALLS to action: Clarity. Accurate Thinking. Leverage. Systemization.

Life is about to get much more relaxed.
