Most people
over-estimate what they can accomplish in a year and
under-estimate what they can accomplish in five years. Yet, this is perfect for accomplishing great life changes. It is long enough to build real business growth and short enough to be manageable. But, let's just think about two years. because you can accomplish a great deal in just two years.
Will you do something for 15 minutes a day for two years, if it will give you everything you want for life?
(Yes, I will! Let's do it!)
Master anything
It has been said that mastering anything
really mastering it takes 10,000 hours. Five years at 40 hours a week is 10,400 hours. Two years at 40 hours a week is 4,000 hours, well on the way to that magic 10,000 hours. That means you can master anything change anything become an expert, a fully skilled, proficient specialist in five years, and very competent after only two years. You can totally change your life or your business, change your career, change your social circle, change your environment, change your financial standing and your net worth. Two years and five years are almost a magic numbers in change management.
If that is so, how does 15 minutes a day help? 15 minutes a day is nothing compared to 10,000 hours! The truth is, 15 minutes a day is how you accumulate 10,000 hours. 15 minutes a day is the process by which you change everything.
Here's how it works
Take 15 minutes every day to preview the day ahead to coordinate your plans with your goals so that everything you do has an objective that is consistent with your goals. Generally, everything you do at work or in your business will be consistent with your business goals, but recognize them daily. You have life goals, too
If you have a dental appointment and one of your goals is to become a professional speaker, recognize that a healthy smile will help you achieve that life goal. If your car needs an oil change and your personal goal is to lose weight, decide to take your walking shoes and spend the half-hour wait-time walking round the showroom instead of sitting in the waiting-room.
What you choose doesn't matter, provided it is beneficial. The point is to spend 15 minutes daily planning these beneficial moments. The result is that you become more and more conscious of interlinking your life with your goals. Instead of "working on your goals" at infrequent intervals, you find yourself intermingling your goals with everything you do, all day long. And "all day long" for five years amounts to 10,000 hours.
This pre-supposes that you have goals to achieve and an objective to follow what we call "a Life Purpose." Changing your goals after every new seminar you attend or every book you read, means starting over every time. And you know that continually starting over means never finishing! If this is happening to you, our Life Purpose program is perfect for you.
Setting aside 15 minutes every day to link your daily activities to your life and business goals will make a tremendous difference. As your mentor, I will guide you to make the most of this time. You will become more skilfull and confident, you will grow your business or career. You will make more money. You will change your life.
Does that sound like fun, or what?!
(Yes, Frederick. I want you to mentor me, now!)
