Having a Role Model

As important as personal experience is, think how invaluable it is to have a role model as well - someone who's navigated the rapids before you and has a good map for you to follow. You can have a role model for your finances, a model for your relationships, a model for your health, a model for your profession, or a model for any aspect of your life you're learning to master. They can save you years of pain and keep you from going over the falls.

 There will be times when you're on the river solo and you'll have to make some important decisions on your own.

 The good news is that if you're willing to learn from your experiences, then even times you  think were difficult become great because they provide valuable information- key distinctions - that you will use to make better decisions in the future. In fact, any extremely successful person you meet will tell you - If they're honest with you - that the reason they're more successful is that they've made more poor decisions than you have . 

 People often ask, "How long do you think it will take for me to really master this particular skill?" And I ask them, "How long do you want it to take?" If you take action ten times a day ( and have proportionate "learning experiences")  while other people  act on a new skill  once a month, you'll have ten months   of experience in a day, you will soon master the skill, and will, ironically, probably be considered "talented and lucky."

 I tell you now, "Mastery takes as long as you want it to take".

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

Maintain your wealth

The only possible way to maintain wealth is to pick a specific percentage of your income that you will invest each year up front. Now, many people know this,we've all heard about the virtues of saving a minimum of 10 percent and investing it. But very few people do it- and interestingly enough, very few people are wealthy. The best way to insure that you'll be able to maintain your wealth is to have 10 percent taken out of your paycheck and invested  before you even see it. To maintain your wealth, you must take control of your spending. But don't develop a budget. develop a spending plan. Truly, if a budget is done effectively, it is a spending plan. It's a means for you - or if you're married, you and your spouse - to decide what you want to spend money on in advance rather than get caught up in the moment. Too often opportunities come up and out of a sense of urgency we make decisions that later  on we regret.  Unfortunately most peopl...

What Do You Want.....

Most of our emotional responses are learned responses to the environment. We've deliberately modeled some of them, and stumbled across others. Simply being aware of these factors is the foundation for understanding the power of state. Without a doubt, everything you and I do, we do to avoid pain or gain pleasure, but we can instantly change what we believe will lead to pain or pleasure by redirecting our focus and changing our mental-emotional -physiological states.  A state can be defined as the sum of millions of neurological processes happening within us- the sum total of our experience at any moment in time. Most of our states happen without any conscious direction on our part. We see something, and we respond to it by going into a state. It may be a resourceful and useful state, or an unresourceful and limiting state, but there's not much that most of us do to control it. Have you ever found yourself unable to remember a friend...
