The average billionaire

The average billionaire and the average bum have the same amount of time in a day, week, month.

It’s what they do with it that makes the difference.

What are you doing?

Spaces in between

Highly effective people do the things that low performing people do – sleep/shower/dress/drink coffee/drive to work/do the necessities/eat/repeat.

But it’s in the spaces in between that they separate themselves from the pack that squanders time and opportunity. 

When you’re on a mission – let no bit of time be lost.

What do you do with your spaces?

A good use of my time?

Will this be a good use of my time or time wasted?

Discerning the difference before you start can keep you doing important things that matter to you.

"Shelf Help"

The blueprints to accomplish what you want have been drawn – and have likely passed through your hands onto the shelf – or the basement – the tag sale – the garbage.

For many of us, TV was more important.

Decide what you want – and find out what you need too.  Many experts have put it all out there.

It’s up to you to receive it.

Big Egos Kill

Is the NFL football coach the best at passing, kicking and running?  No.  But he knows how to assemble and coach players that are.  He knows how to identify talent and what to do with it when he gets it on the team.

When the owner of a company thinks they’ll look bad if someone on their team is better at something than they are – they’ll chase talent away.

Getting, developing and rewarding superstars with whatever attention they need will get a leader renowned for a different skill – being a great leader.

"Leader" – Title or Description?

If you have to tell people you’re the leader – you’re not.

If you didn’t have the title of President, CEO, Manager, etc. – would your people say you were the leader?

Make a profit now

If you want to make a 10% profit, all you have to do is spend only 90% of what you take in.

Right?

Emotional Drive Train

Logic is your customer’s steering system, but emotion is their drive train.

You can convince them your product makes sense, but if they don’t have an emotional reason for moving forward, it’s not happening.

Finding out what your customer wants and why.  It’s the key to getting them involved as your customer.

Are you doing that?

Pay up – in advance.

You can’t have full success and pay half the price.

You can’t have success now and pay later.

The price for success must always be paid in full and in advance.

Are you paying the price now for what you want later?

Long pay cycle

Successful people spend years toiling and being desperately underpaid, so that if they figure it out, they can spend their later years being wildly overpaid.
