Designing Failure


Listen Later

Discover today how you can design your own failure, which can help you spot your route to success. Join Neil as he shares a fool proof way to stop yourself from feeling overworked and underpaid. By identifying areas in your life you are failing in such as time management, passive income streams and lack of students you can flip your life around and get back on the road to success. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • It is great to plan things ahead whether that be daily, monthly, yearly or five yearly. Planning gives you a mindset of possibility and helps provide milestones to identify progression.
  • If you are struggling to fit things into your days and are stuck trading your time for money, there are systems that can help you. Write down the system that produces lack of wealth, overwork and frustration in the center of a piece of paper. Things such as: not having long term goals; not having a strategic plan and making sure you get lost in the little things.
  • Identify your time management issues. Things such as not planning, letting your business run you and having no routine can affect the way you feel and frustrations and overwhelm can occur. 
  • Identify how you make your money, do you have passive income streams? Write down how you are not making money from investment or creating products such as podcasts or books. Even things such as hoarding and not selling your old items on Ebay can help you identify potential areas for improvement. 
  • Once everything is written down, you are able to see what is going on, or not and you are able to identify areas of your life which need addressing. Think on paper and design a system that guarantees failure, so you know how you can succeed. 

 

BEST MOMENTS 

“I love planning.”

“I love to disrupt the status quo.”

“A mind map of things not to do.” 

“Drag your bullshit out into the open and slaughter it.”
