How do you master time? How do you take time and master it? You start to prioritize. I’ve been reading a lot on essentialism & focusing on one thing at a time and I’ve come to realize that the key to owning your time is cutting out nearly everything. The key is to focus on just a few things that you do well. The key is to stop attempting to multi-task and do everything at once. The key is to say no more, say yes less and to get really really good at a few things. A jack of all trades is a master of none and a master of none is paid like an amateur of all. 

So, today, make a commitment to own your time and prioritize. To cut out what’s non-essential and to implement what matters. Commit to becoming AMAZING at one or two things, not mediocre at 100 things. Commit to working hard and remaining committed to the work that you do. Commit to focusing and staying on the path, when the going gets tough, for a MINIMUM of 3 years before quitting.

That little paragraph right there, that’s the key to success. 

Own your time, own your life.

Jay Adkins, entrepreneur, real estate investor, loving father, and someone you do NOT want to challenge to a bowling match. Today, we get to dive deep into what enabled him to build a life of success.

In today’s episode, we dive into individual success, what it means for you, and only you. Instead of chasing after someone else’s idea of success, chase after yours! Whether it’s a family, business, or your dream job, each individual has their own dreams. Dreams the, and only they can expect to achieve.

Expectations, we discuss those too, and how it’s important that your expectations for yourself, set the highest standard for YOU, possible. Because if you don’t expect the most, and the best from and of yourself, you’re bound to find disappointment around the corner.

The key takeaway in today’s interview is everyone has their own dreams, and you shouldn’t take on the dreams and goals of others. Instead, chase your goals, because you’re living your life, not someone else’s. So live the life you want!

Myles began his career as a credit analyst at CIBC. He and his co-founder, Brian Curcio, realized that ordinary investors have paid a price to learn to invest — and that price typically was real money ending up in Wall Street’s pocket. Rapunzl was founded to provide an unparalleled investing education through fun (and free) investment competitions with scholarship and cash prizes.

Throughout the interview, you’ll learn how Tim got to this point, the reason he's made it and others failed along the way, and the importance of the 3-year rule. A rule that every individual should consider implementing in their lives ins some form. The rule is simply: If you aren’t willing to dedicate 3 years minimum to the idea or project on the table, don’t bother with it and move on. The goal of the rule is to keep you working towards things you’re dedicated to. The rule is to prevent you from quitting halfway through, only to start a new project, which creates a never-ending cycle of stop-start that gets you nowhere.
