  1. • The life we end up with, is based on

    the small choices we make everyday. Those decisions are what will determine your life 5, 10 or maybe 30 years from now. So make the right decisions everyday. • Be prepared to give your 100%, without expecting anything in return – difficult, but that’s what made them successful. • You alone are responsible for what you do, don’t do, or how you respond to what’s done to you. • If you want to make progress, you need to change, if you need to change, you need awareness. • How do you bring about awareness – track – everything. Use a journal, I do this – so I know how powerful this one single suggestion is. • At the end of the day, what you really want is fulfillment not achievement. Life is about balance in business, finances, health and well-being, spirituality, family and relationships, and lifestyle. Takeaways...
  2. • We’re all molded by our habits, habits are there

    for a reason – but if you want to change them, you need to have a strong WHY. A really powerful why, will overcome your need for instant gratification. • Finding your MO – momentum – is key to accelerating your success. Think of those old steam engines, as they slowly pick up speed, but once they’re moving – they’re nearly unstoppable. I guess its the laws of physics, a body at rest – stays at rest… until it moves. • Once you find your MO – don’t lose it, if you do – ALL – your effort will be wasted… • Don’t have the time? Really… my personal solution: STOP WATCHING THE DAMN TV! Period. The average person now spends roughly 3-4 hours of TV per day, that’s around 1500 hours per year, or roughly 25% of the time you’re awake! Put it another way, you’re spending around a whole day per week. And you say you can’t get anything done!? • Reduce the number of ‘incomplete’ things in your life – this is energy sapping – this is also something I really need to work on! Takeaways...

    a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.”
