Perform More Tasks Of Higher Value
January 11, 2009
“Perform more and more tasks of higher value, and delegate, delay, outsource and eliminate tasks of lower value.” ~ Brian Tracy
This important advice from Brian Tracy is something you should take a look at. Are you currently doing more than you need to? Can you delegate any of the activities that are consuming your time? Often when we start a new business or work on a project we believe that we have to do everything ourselves. We think that everything has to be “perfect” and “just right.” This just isn’t the case. Things do not need to be perfect or just right. They merely have to provide great service and fulfill a solid need that your customer has.
To implement Brian’s advice take a look at what you are spending your time on. For example can you delegate the grocery shopping, watch a little less t.v. or hire someone to help you with paperwork? Doing this will help you focus on your core business and more importantly will help you focus on completing the tasks which advance your business and increase your income.
I encourage you to break all your activities into higher and lower value tasks. Then delegate or eliminate the ones that eat up your time.

I Bargained With Life For A Penny
January 11, 2009
I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have paid.
~Jessie Belle Rittenhouse (1869–1948)

What Is Character?
January 10, 2009
“Character is the ability to carry about a worthy decision once the emotion of making that decision has passed.” ~ Hyram Smith
I heard this from Hyram this morning on a call. It is the absolute truth. How often do we decide to do something and then after a few days or weeks our excitement wears off and we let that decision fall aside. We drop those special promises we made to ourselves or to others and give up because the task is hard or because we have not seen the progress we want. Things take time. They do not happen overnight.
All great things you want to accomplish will require you to work. Money does not rain down from the sky into your pocket. You have to provide people with a valuable service that helps them. This is the only way you make money. This also goes for your health too. When you make a decision to get fit you need to stick by that decision.
My 30th birthday is coming up and I made a rock solid decision to change my health. I eat NO starch right now. Only vegetables, clean protein, some fruit, healthy fats and I consume fresh water and tea. I don’t care what others are eating, where I am at or what else is going on around me. I made the decision and I am sticking to it. You have to act on your decisions like your life depends on it.
Quite often your life does depend on it. Your health, financial freedom and relationships all depend on the quality of your decisions and the actions you take or don’t take. Stick to your goals and you will be well rewarded.

My Favorite Billionaire
January 8, 2009
6 Keys to Success from billionaire Bill Bartman. Now a word about Bill. He is the least known billionaire out there. And he did it all himself. He was in the poor house being hounded by collection agencies and decided he did not like how he was being treated. He and his wife started a collection agency and grew it into a multi-million dollar business. His attitude catapulted him to even more success and now he is a billionaire. Look him up on the web if you don’t believe me. These are his 6 Keys to Success I learned from watching him on iLearningGlobal.tv:
1. You need to learn how to think big
Bill explained that thinking about increasing by just 10% growth is not enough. You have to think in terms of 200% or more. Shoot for the stars not a street light. I like to say think of adding a zero to your income.
2. You need to believe in yourself
You need to learn how to accept yourself for who and what you are right now. Learn how to apply what you know. You already have what it takes to succeed and you know what you have to do.
3. Share the vision.
Communicate your beliefs about yourself to others. Share what you want and your dream. Ask for help. Not everyone will help, but some will. Without reaching out you will stay in your spot and will not be able to take large leaps forward.
4. You need to execute
Get off the couch, talk is cheap, action is king. You must be willing to move without knowing everything about what you are going to do. Take the first step in faith. Nothing will happen until you get moving on your dreams.
5. You must be able to focus
Bill never met any successful person who was trying to do two things at once. Chase one rabbit at a time. Do one thing to conclusion and success and then start the next thing.
6. Never, Never give up.
You will run into challenges you do not expect. It doesn’t matter how things happen, they will occur no matter how careful you are or how much you plan. When these things happen, we have to know we still have the strength to persist.
All these steps are entirely up to you. No one can control any of these steps except you. This is the beauty of the 6 Keys to Success. They all rest in your pocket.

Forgive ~ A Poem
January 8, 2009
That slight misdeed of yesterday,
why should it mar today?
The thing he said, the thing you did,
have long since passed away;
For yesterday was but a trial;
today you will succeed,
And from mistakes of yesterday
will come some noble deed.
Forgive yourself for thoughtlessness,
do not condemn the past;
For it is gone with its mistakes;
their memory cannot last;
Forget the failures and misdeeds,
from such experience rise,
Why should you let your head be bowed?
Life up your heart and eyes!

Thoughts Are Things ~ A Poem
January 7, 2009
I hold it is true that thoughts are things;
They’re endowed with bodies and breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds forth to earth’s remotest spot,
Leaving its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought,
For good or ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate;
Choose then thy destiny and wait,
For love brings love and hate brings hate.
-Henry Dan Dyke
What is the Cause of YOUR Results?
January 6, 2009
Paul Martinelli asked this question in his video on attitude for ILG. Its an important question. The simple answer is that the cause of your results in every area of your life is your attitude. It controls the quality of everything in your life. Most people do not understand what attitude is?
Paul said that attitude is the composite of your thoughts, feelings and actions. They are a circle of responsibility. When you live outside this circle you turn the responsibility over to other people. “See what YOU made me do.” Statements like this turns responsibility over to another person. Don’t let yourself turn control over to outside circumstances or let your environment control you. You control you. Don’t blame other people for how you are feeling or your results. At the end of the day when you look in the mirror it is only you. It always has and it always will be.
