Personal Growth
You will never excel until you connect your actions to something you truly value.
This week, we will be getting VERY personal… asking the truly IMPORTANT questions:
Are you actually LIVING what you say you value, or are you consumed by the moment…
with no forward movement in the direction of your dreams?
The importance of knowing what you value more than something else is critical to your day-to-day performance.
What’s Your Forgetting Curve Costing You?
All habits, our good ones, and our bad ones are based on 3 basic conditions:
1) A TRIGGER — something that gets your attention and reminds you to take some kind of action…
2) A BEHAVIOR — a specific action you will automatically take…
3) A REWARD — what you get when you recognize the Trigger and engage in the Behavior to get the Reward you desire.
Habits are based on CRAVINGS, either positive or negative.
Crave nicotine and you smoke.
Crave chocolate and you eat cake.
Crave success and you grow rich — when you take the right sequence of actions.
New Ideas Matter — Even MORE Than You Think…
Ultimately, the Excellence Habit is all about the inculcation of great ideas…
POSITIVE IDEAS that shape your performance.
To succeed, you MUST have a constant flow of great ideas… a reservoir to depend on for true innovation.
For inspiration.
To motivate you to take bold action.
When we run out of ideas, we run out of hope.
Oscar Worthy Performance…
Regardless the controversy about who should and shouldn’t be nominated for high recognition, the fact remains…
EVERY contender is both a winner and a Time Management EXPERT!
The reality is, 95% of all success is simply showing up… on time and ready to perform.
Ready for the opportunities that naturally come your way.
The Will to Win, The Desire to Succeed…
Have you been working harder and harder and still haven’t achieved the success you desire?
Would you like to know WHY?
Factually, scientifically, precisely?
If you’re like the vast majority of our customers, you have read all the books… listened to the tapes… attended the seminars…
BUT… there’s still a barrier between where you are now, and where you want to go.
Your Time Prism & The Power of Aha…
The Proverable Aha Moment…
A flash of inspiration and illumination…
A moment of unexpected insight and discovery…
An epiphany—a sudden revelation and awareness…
Yes, I am sure you know what an Aha Moment is… so the question becomes… how do you achieve this moment many times a day, rather than just once or twice in a lifetime?
The sad truth is that opportunity doesn’t knock twice.
I have built my entire life around seizing ever-growing opportunities.
I have yet to hear even ONE knock on my door — or whack me upside my head.
Opportunities behave quite differently from what we have been trained to expect.
You must have POWERFUL LENSES with which to see and sense them.
A Long Journey to Vision
A Life is a Terrible Thing To Waste…
It is also a wonderful thing to embrace!
Most people go through their lives with a deep case of Success Myopia… they have no vision beyond the obviousness of their lives.
They fail to see the ever-present opportunities, the signs pointing to a better life, and the big milestones in their lives.
Without vision you WILL perish. Your dreams die, your hopes fade, and you find yourself in a thorny field of deep regrets.
Challenge yourself, right up to the point where it isn’t fun any more.
“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.” ~ Nolan Bushnell The Most Eye-Opening […]
Success: More of what you want… less of what you don’t.
This morning we had a wonderful conversation about getting 2018 off to the best start possible.
My advice was simple.
Take out a sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle. Label the left half WHAT I DON’T WANT… and the right side WHAT I REALLY WANT…
Listen to the audio and follow along.
1 hour here and you will not only have better direction, but a real head start towards guaranteeing 2018 becomes YOUR year.
A Challenge To Your Commitment…
This week, we are going to focus on the inevitable challenges to your dreams and goals…
Challenges that will not only test your resolution but cause you to pause and question your commitment to your 2014 Resolutions!
One Step Towards An Impossible Goal…
Today our incredible new Time Prism — The World’s Smartest App™ became REAL…

Thousands of years of wisdom in the palm of your hand…
Driven by the world’s first Transparent Learning Engine.
Goals: The Confluence Between Dreams, Desires & Beliefs
There are many popular definitions of the word GOAL.
Most define it as a dream with a date… we define it as a dream with a deadline.
The deadline implies a commitment to both the dream and the time it will take to achieve it.
A better definition might be that goals represent the confluence between Desirability and Believability.
It is the recognition that it takes BOTH to create a goal that will ultimately be achieved.
My 2018 Hopes
A track leading directly to your most cherished dreams…
The ability to see what’s at the end of the tracks…
The time to live what you value most…
The power to transform your dreams and goals into the life you love.
My Hope For Me…
A Success Habit?
I made it a habit years ago to ruthlessly limit my exposure to junk, fake and useless news to just 30 minutes a day.
That is more than enough time to get a global perspective on what’s going on, process what is being said, and form an opinion.
Think about this.
There are only 1,440 minutes in a day (24 hours x 60 minutes).
Subtract 440 for sleep, rest, and downtime — you have 1,000 prime minutes to make all your dreams real.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
“Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.” ~ Joel Osteen
My Christmas Wish…
“My Christmas wish for you is for you to become all you are meant to be. It is also my challenge to you. FACT: Become the best version of yourself possible, and all your hopes and dreams will be realized… because you are never given a dream without also being given the power to realize it. But, you may have to work a lot smarter than ever before.” ~ E. R. Haas, CEO
Are You Crazy Enough to Succeed?
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”~ Steve Jobs
There is a problem in every opportunity and an opportunity in every problem.
Nothing will torpedo your chance at success faster than a poor attitude.
You can have clear and tangible goals, with the best-laid plans in the world, but if you poison the well from which opportunity springs, you’ve just killed your future.
