Time Management is so important

April 4th, 2010

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

How often do you hear yourself say “I wish I had more time”.  Really knowing how to effectively manage your time is so important when trying to get the things you want out of life.  Time management is the key to your personal and career success, yet this subject is often overlooked or not taken seriously.  If you apply these principals I promise you that you will notice such a huge difference in your life and you will be that much closer to reaching your goals.

It is important to understand that time is limited.  You cannot pause, rewind, or fast forward time.  Everyone gets the same amount of time each day.  Remember that if you don’t use your time wisely or effectively you will never get it back.  Please imprint this principal in your brain.  Time is limited.

Do not blame time.  A lot of people complain that they don’t have enough time!  I am very guilty of this!  But some people blame lack of time for everything!!  There’s not enough time to exercise, not enough time to sit and cold call, not enough time to spend time with my family…etc.  Remember, time management helps you use the time that we have in better ways.  So instead of blaming everything on time, look at what you are doing with your time and fix it.

You need time to do almost anything worthwhile in life!  Waiting for my time is a loose situation always.  You need to learn how to make time for those things that are important to you!  Even if you only can give a small amount of time each week or each day, this helps.  You will be surprise how much progress you can make when you make time for something, even if it is just an hour a week.

Being organized is another important took in time management, planning out your days, and your weeks in hourly increments.  For example, from 8am to 4pm I know that I am a sales representative for the company I work for.  But from 430pm-930pm I am a mother to my kids, and a wife to my husband.  From 930-1030pm I know this time slot I read a book for personal development, maybe reading a book that will enhance my skills as an entrepreneur.  These time slots change from day to day.  I love to play guitar, it is my passion so I set aside an hour each day of the week (Saturdays) to play guitar!  If you use your time wisely and if you are organized about it, you will get more out of life and be able to do things that you always wanted to do, and you won’t stress or complain about not having enough time.  There are too many choices. In this day and age, there are so many ways you can spend your time, which you need some sort of plan to make intelligent choices.

Time management helps you make conscious choices so you can spend more of your time doing things that are important and valuable to you.

Cheers to your time management success,

Social media can impact your business in a big way…

April 2nd, 2010

Can social media impact your business both positively and negatively?

One of the most influential and effective mediums for sharing information and forming relationships is social media. This includes blogs, social networking sites such as facebook, youtube, twitter, and linkedin, as well as social bookmarking and other community oriented websites. Sharing photos with friends, reconnecting with old friends, forming new relationships, customer service, the list of reasons to use social media is endless. So how can social media impact your business both positively and negatively?

Social media is a powerful tool that can be used to form relationships and share information with a vast network of people. There is a huge opportunity for businesses to interact with both their current and future customers. That being said, it’s important that the business understands the power social media can have, and if used incorrectly can potentially do more harm than good. Two short examples of how social media has impacted businesses in a big way can be found below:

Case #1 – Jetstar Airlines, Australia

Based on recent social media success, Jetstar has recently announced that 40% of its new marketing budget will be directed towards social media. This is a bold move by Jetstar, which they feel is one of their most effective ways of informing passengers of new route launches, special offers and announcements, sale and news updates, and responses to customer inquiries. Last year, Jetstar ran an exclusive sale to its twitter users to help celebrate the airlines fifth birthday. With 6,000 twitter followers in Australia, the airline was able to sell 1000 seats for 2cents per seat in two hours! Impressive! This is a great example of the positive impact social media can have on a business.

Case #2 – Nestle’s Facebook Page

A recent post to the Nestle facebook fan page, contained an offensive statement regarding customers with altered Nestle logos as their profile pictures. Nestle reacted rather quickly to a statement and it drew hundreds of offensive and defensive statements within minutes! Some people say this is a PR nightmare, while others have stated that this actually helped Nestle. Either way, the person running Nestle’s fan page should have taken a more relaxed approach.

As seen above, social media can impact a business in a big way. I personally think social media is a great medium for interacting with large audiences, building relationships, and sharing valuable information. However as a student of the internet, and an experienced entrepreneur I understand the risks. My advice to you is to jump on the social media bandwagon and be careful with your comments!

Cheers to your social media empire,

Quit Your Job Early… Or Maybe Not

October 19th, 2009

Are you one of those people who wants to quit your job early or are you like this guy, or are you somewhere in between?

I really respect people like this guy for putting a little life into his own world and the world of all his passengers. He is a perfect example of how you can choose your mood and mentality. I have no idea who this gentleman is but he’s taught us all a very valuable lesson:

Don’t think ‘Either/Or’, Think ‘And’

Here’s a guy who may, or may not, love his job who has found a way to include a passion that he has for rapping. He’s been creative to make his world better for him and in doing so, in less than 2 minutes of his time (which he was going to have to do anyway) he helped make others lives better to. It’s all about maintaining a high level of energy and the best way to do that is to do things you love.

How can you use something that you love to do to make someone else’s life better today. Try it out and see what happens. It might lead you to a better place which just might help you Quit Your Job Early (if, of course, that’s something you want to do).

Do what you love and those around will be better for it. Cheers!!!

PS – this is also a good lesson in attraction marketing.

2 Tips for Getting to Live Your Perfect Lifestyle from the book ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind’

October 18th, 2009

If you want to Live Your Perfect Lifestyle by Earning Passive Income Streams and you haven’t figured out how yet, then a book like T. Harv Eckert’s, ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind’ might be the missing link.

T. Harv Eckerts Book ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind‘ will make you ask yourself questions that you probably have never asked yourself before. And you may not like the answers you come up with but they are the same answers you may be looking for.

I am currently reading and implementing the strategies of the book for the 3rd time as I write this. Not only have I read the book 3 times but I’ve also attended T. Harv Eckerts FREE weekend seminar which kind of makes me wonder why I I’m not as wealthy as T. Harv Eckert himself yet? I say that sarcastically because the reality is there are obviously still things that I need to learn.

That’s why I’m reading this book again. I know that I have to continue to ‘grow myself’ in order to ‘grow my bank account’ and the ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind’ puts me into action on working on the aspects of myself that are holding me back from living my perfect lifestyle which includes the ‘Fab 5’

  1. Flexibility
  2. Mobility
  3. Health
  4. Wealth
  5. Happiness

Two of the strategies that I have found to really change my results in the past are

1 – Do Daily Affirmations

2 – Respect Money

Daily Affirmations are things you repeat to yourself over and over again throughout the day. The Affirmations I say include the following

  • I have a millionaire mind
  • I am an excellent money manager
  • Money comes to me easily and frequently
  • I am a powerful human being
  • People are attracted to me and want to help me reach my goals
  • People purchase my products and want to give me money for my expertise
  • I live a completely abundant life

Some of these affirmations came straight from the book and some came straight from my head. The point is that when you say these things to yourself 2 things happen. One thing is that you start to believe them and the other is that you’re sending out the right messages out into the universe. Why is that important you ask? It’s important because of the law of attraction – what you put out there comes back to you. If you are always expecting to have stuff go bad; it will. If you always expect stuff to go good, it usually will. This is a topic for a whole other post so for now I simply challenge you to write down 10 affirmations for yourself and say them everyday as many times as you can without going ‘nuts’. Also, say them out loud. If you just say them in your head, it’ll feel like a ‘dream’ and ‘hope’. You didn’t start down this path to have dreams; you started this process towards living your perfect lifestyle because you want to live your dreams. Say your affirmations out loud daily and I guarantee you will live your dreams sooner than later.

The other strategy of Respecting Money was one that I found to be very interesting. I always thought that I respected money but when I started to really keep track of my money habits, I started to see some really alarming things. It wasn’t that I was spending a whole munch of money on wasteful things, it was just that I wasn’t managing my money with any kind of respect. I is a pretty simple message about money that I got from this section of the book but the bottom line was that

If you don’t respect the money you have then why would yourself, or the universe (if you believe in the spiritual world) think you should deserve any more. My spiritual adviser went so far to tell me that the simple practice of keeping your cash in numerical order, or having a wallet that is well-organized will help me attract more income because was treating the money I had with more respect.

Just try it for yourself for one week and see what kind of difference it makes in your feeling about money. Keep you dollar bills nicely folded and in order. Put your change away in the same spot every night. Review your finances once a week. Get into the habit of doing these things and I can guarantee that you will start seeing positive results to your  bottom line. I know because it happened to me.

Cheers to starting 2 habits that will forever change your life.

Millionaire Mindset: The #1 Thing That Sets Them Apart

October 8th, 2009

What is in the Millionaire Mindset that makes them different than those who haven’t made there million yet?

It’s a heck of question isn’t it? I’m assuming that there really isn’t one, single, thing that sets them apart from the rest of the world but rather a combination of things. But within that combination of things, there IS ONE THING that makes all the other things possible and that is

‘They know exactly what they want‘

Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it? I’m sure there are number of you out there who are reading this and thinking that you know what you want. You know you want to make a lot of money. You know that you want more time with your family, or friends. You know that you’d love to have passive residual income coming every month . You know that stuff because you know what type of lifestyle you want to have BUT do you believe it is possible.

The only way you can look yourself in the mirror and know, without a shadow of doubt, that you know exactly what you want is if you can say it and actually believe it. You cannot question it. You believe deep down that you know exactly what you want. You have to have a ‘knowing’, or confidence in yourself and your ability to know that what is not just a passing thought, but will turn into something you have.

If you’ve studied Warren Buffet, T. Harv Eckert, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki or anyone else you can call a millionaire then you’ve know that they developed a millionaire mindset because they knew exactly what they want. You will also know that every one of them questioned themselves from time to time as they made their journey towards become a millionaire. What kept them going through those ‘down’ times was a ‘knowing’ of exactly what they wanted. A ‘knowing’ that included a high level of self-belief.

These people get results because they know what they want and they find people to support their belief. Take upon yourself to believe that what you want is also something that you can have. Take it from a dream that you have and make it into a plan that you have. You might hit days that where you feel like you’ve hit a road block but change your thoughts and view them as merely a speed bump. You might have days when you feel like you have a lot of problems; change them from problems to challenges. If you just make that one simple change in mindset, you’ll never have problems again and you’ll be one step closer to having a millionaire mindset.

I’ve gotta cut this post short but I was feeling like I needed to ‘vent’ on the importance in believing in your own ability and skills. You’ve got all the skills you need to reach your goals. Whether that’s to quit your job early or become a multi-millionaire, you’ve got all the talent and skills you need. All you have to make it happen is learn the how-to, and I can guarantee that the how-to isn’t that hard to find, it’s just a matter of knowing EXACTLY what you want (with belief) so that you see the signs when it comes into your world.

Have you ever that the teacher will appear when the student is ready. Follow in the foot steps of the millionaires who came before you and develop you millionaire mindset by believing that you WILL have EXACTLY what you want.

Until Next Time, Cheers to you New Millionaire Mindset

The best book I can recommend to help you with your millionaire mindset is ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind’ by T. Harv Eckert (you can find it in the ‘Books That Can Help You’ Section)
