Friday, August 10th, 2007
How often do we catch ourselves saying “Wait…”, “Not today”, “Maybe tomorrow” to the things which we know we should be doing ?
Procrastination is a time thief - it steals from us our most precious resource, time. The longer we delay doing the things which will benefit us, the further we push back the success which we desire.
So how do we get out of our comfort zone, get a breakthrough and end procrastination ? What we need is an inspiration to action, and then carrying it through with action.
Asking ourselves the two questions below can help us gain much inspiration to action, produce a much needed mental push and a change of perspective. However, inspiration remains a thought until it is acted upon by doing it right away. Acting on it and keeping up the sustained effort will build a habit.
Keep focused on the reward, not the process.
1. What is the one thing I don’t want to do today, but if I did it, will change my life and/or business ?
2. How will I benefit from doing the thing which I don’t want to do, but if I did, will change my life and/or business ?
3. Do it now. If logistically impossible to do it now, schedule in writing a time to do it.

… And Quit Worrying About What Other People Are Thinking Of You ?
The 18/40/60 Rule is a handy one to remember :
When you are 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you.
When you are 40, you don’t give a darn what anybody thinks of you.
When you are 60, you realise that nobody’s been thinking about you at all.

Exponential Growth of Money and Success
Friday, August 3rd, 2007This is quite an interesting article - Exponential Growth of Money and Success
Focus, Consistency and Patience - formula for persisting with your chosen path, and not to give up and change paths quickly whenever you hit a bump. Be focused on the big picture and your goal. Consistently do the things which you have to do to get to your destination. Have patience to go through the process. People usually give up too soon before they allow their efforts to transform into results.
Then again, be wary of the danger of target fixation. We have to be flexible and adjust our tactics as we navigate the terrain. If it is obviously a dead-end, then it is wiser to drop that approach and look for a way around the obstacle. Know when to quit and what to quit. The important thing is to maintain the momentum and keep moving forward in the direction towards your destination.
