Episode 3 What I’m Trying To Do
This is what I’m trying to do.
Here is one of… if not the biggest… keys to succeeding… at anything. It’s about your time and what you do with it.
Everyday when you wake up… you have to be very clear on what you are trying to do - today. What are you trying to achieve and what are you going to do to achieve it?
Get clear on this people.
Example, I’m going to have 30 conversations with people about their plans to buy or sell real estate in the next 12 months.
Then weigh everything you do for the rest of the day against that directive. If something pops up during the day - before doing it and substituting your current efforts to achieve your directive for whatever you’re considering - ask yourself, “Is this going to move me closer to having 30 conversations today?”
If yes, go at it. And go at it hard.
If no, politely decline and stay the course you were already on. And keep going at it hard.
People, guard your time like your success depends on it… because it does.
Example: let’s say you drop just 15 minutes per day on something that doesn’t really help you achieve your directive. No big deal, right?
After a week you would miss out on an hour and 15 minutes. No big deal, right?
After a month you would miss out on 5 hours. A little more than half a day. Maybe, a small deal.
After 1 year, getting off your directive for just 15 minutes a day would cost you 65 hours - more than a week and a half.
Question: if you had an extra week and a half of time back could you do something good with it? Say yes.
And that’s at 15 minutes. What if your leak was just 1 hour a day? That would cost you a month and a half of lost time.
Learn to say no, people. Get really protective of your time and schedule. Especially as your success grows. Because as you get more successful more people want more of your time.
It will become a battle of who wants their goal more. And whoever stays on their course better will win.
In sum. In sum.
Everyday get real intensional about what you are trying to accomplish and then dedicate yourself to accomplishing it. When something unplanned shows up - weigh it against the directive and then choose carefully.
Do that and let’s see where you land in 1 year. I bet you’re going to like what you find.
You got this. Here we go. Let’s get it.
