Quick time saving tip
Would you like to have more time in your day? It is relatively simple. Consider these challenges from Anthony Iannarino:
There is an old Buddhist saying that goes like this: "If you don't have time to meditate for one hour, meditate for two hours." Here are a few other ideas along this same line.
If you think that someone else is the problem, thinking that is your problem. If you think the problem is external, your problem is not recognizing that it's internal.
If you believe that something or someone is preventing you from being or having what you want, you don't yet recognize that you are the only person that can prevent you from being or doing what you want.
If you think that you don't have time to do the things that you want, your problem has nothing to do with time. It has everything to do with your priorities. (Dave's boldface...)
Anthony reminded me of our LEADERSHIP Essentials approach to creating more time in your day by:
#1 - Take time in Sanctuary (no distractions) weekly for 1-2 hours to review your TARGET goals and key objectives, and then set your priorities.
#2 - Remove emotion. Set aside "wants" and focus on needs - what will really build your career / company / wealth to have more freedom to positively impact others. Remove less important activities from your calendar so you have time to do what you do best.
#3 - Plan weekly in Sanctuary. Hold yourself accountable daily in a shorter Sanctuary each evening or early morning.
Now here is the rest of Anthony's advice from yesterday:
If you think you can't have more money unless or until someone gives you more money, then you don't understand that the only way to earn more is to create more value for others.
If you think you will be happy when something happens, or when you move to some new location in the future, then you misunderstand happiness. Happiness is a decision you make in the present moment. The present moment is the only one you have. The past is only pictures and movies, and so is the future.
If you think that your clients or prospects are your problems, that belief is your problem. Until you change your approach to them, they cannot change their approach to you.
What limits do you believe you have because someone or something is imposing those limits?
What would you do if you didn't believe you had those limits?
Time management and focus are key skills of effective leaders. Sign-up your leaders, including yourself, for our Certified LEADER program that starts the week of October 5 and runs through March 2016. Tell me what you want them to learn and will work with them to develop those habits.
