Don't Waste Time: Be That Person!

Do you ever find yourself wasting way too much time in meetings, arguing over dumb ideas? We all fall into this trap, but the most successful people find ways to minimize this type of waste. Be careful to look around you in your marketplace...be different...

In our courses, we train you to focus on the task at hand for the day. That's how you manage your ‘Mo’ or momentum. It’s one of the key elements of success. Distractions and competitors will throw you off course at every twist and turn – but only if you let them. 

Sometimes, the roadblocks don’t look like roadblocks. They might be the people closest to you on your team. Sometimes, people just like to argue. Have you ever met people that just like to argue? If you say the sky is blue, they'll say, "No it's not."

We teach our students to spend less time disputing and arguing and more time focused on the goals they want to achieve. When others want to get lost arguing over details, it steals your joy and your peace while you're working. Personally, I need joy and peace to operate successfully.

Bear in mind, this doesn't make the problems any easier. But it sure makes the journey better. Remember, you're in this for the long haul. You're in it to create a lifestyle for you and your family. Yes, the money is important, but the joy and the peace are equally as important. 

Have you ever met somebody with a lot of money who is unhappy with no joy and no peace because they want more, more, more? It’s easy to fall into this mindset when we are surrounded by images of fabulous wealth and success on social media. But it’s not about the custom built house, the fancy sports car, the exotic tropical vacation. Are those things fun and exciting? Absolutely. But they’re not the point. They won’t bring you peace and joy. You need to build that into your life.

Set your goals and fulfill your destiny. If you don’t know where you are going, it’s way too easy to get lost in petty arguments that will waste your time and get you off track.

But if you carefully focus your time and energy, concentrating on joy and peace, you will make good decisions. You won't fall into traps. When you live your life this way, surrounding yourself with positive influences and treating others better than yourself, you are destined for greatness. You are destined for a life of victory

So keep that positive attitude. Define your goals and stay focused. Don't sweat the small stuff. Take the high road. You can rise above all the pettiness in the world. And by the way? Enjoy the ride. You’ll be glad you did.
