It’s time for action

Brian — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 16:10:42 +0000

Hi there. This is Brian once again. I hope you are having a great day and I want to thank you for continuing to read my blog each and every week cause it means a lot to me.

However there is something that means a lot more to me than you simply reading my blog. It is taking action on what you are reading on my blog and then telling me how you did use this technique and it helped you to achieve greatness in some area of your life. Now that is what I like the most. The testimonials of people who have experience life change as a result of taking action on the things they have learnt through reading my blog.

As I mentioned in my previous post it is all about taking action. By now I am sure you realized it is not the Government who is to blame for your situation, it is not your co-workers, it is not your family, it is not your environment but you and you alone are responsible today to take steps to improve your lifestyle.

People who like to blame others need to take a hard look at the mirror and see the person who can help them get out of their circumstances. If I say you are stupid and you get angry at me, you gave me permission to make you angry because you are in control of your emotions, not me!!

If you continue to blame people you will continue to live a miserable life but that is not the kind of life I want you to have. Start taking action. Do something today to move your life forward.

Peter Marshall said “Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.”

I know that this is common sense but today common sense is not so common!!!

So do something today to move your life forward. Even I have to take action each week to come up with blog posts that I think can inspire you in your life. It does involve work but there is no such thing as something for nothing.

You have to pay the price. You can pay now and play later or play now and pay later but either way you are going to pay!!!

Now is the time for action!!!

The Secret to your success

Brian — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 21:19:48 +0000

Hi there.

Hope all is well. Today I want to share with you the secret to your success. I learnt this from John Maxwell and it is so true.

He said

The secret to your success is in your daily agenda

Do you get what I just said? The secret to your successful week, the secret to your successful year, the secret to your successful life is determined by what you do with today!!!

Let that sink in. You see we over exaggerate yesterday, we overestimate tomorrow and we underestimate today!!!

We tend to complain a lot about yesterday and what we should have done and what did not go right etc and then we think that tomorrow we will be able to do a whole lot and we have all these big plans about what we will do tomorrow but the fact remains that we underestimate the importance of today.

You see each day we are either repairing or preparing. We are either repairing yesterday’s mistakes or preparing for a better life ahead.

If I can sit down with you for 1 day and just observe you I could predict your future to a certain extent.

A guy decides to lose weight and gets fired up and joins the gym only to realise that he cannot keep skipping the gym to drink bears and expect his life to change.

The secret to our success is determined by what we do today and if you don’t make the most of today, then you are going to fail that college degree, you are going to screw up that relationship with your wife, you are going to end up sick and in the hospital. It all begins with making the most of today.

Some people say someday I am going to do this and that but the last time I looked at a calendar I did not see someday. I saw Sunday and Monday but not Someday.

You see all you really have is today and my advice to you is make the most of today!

Today Matters!!!!

How to make the best use of your ideas?

Brian — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:43:40 +0000

Are you the type of person who has lots of ideas? Sometimes hundreds, sometimes thousands? I am sure you have had a lot. Maybe you just read a book or listened to your favorite motivational speaker and he shared some good ideas!! What did you do with all of these ideas? I am sure that you are like most people who do nothing with their ideas?

So what do you do with all these ideas? How many do you actually use? How many ideas have you thrown away in the air that could have probably made your life so much better if you had used them? How many ‘aha’ moments have you had in your life that you failed to utilize.

The great psychologist Alfred Adler once said ‘I am grateful for the idea that have used me.’ It was one idea that changed the course of this man’s life!!! A study was done among successful people and what they found in common with all of them is that they used a concept which is now known as Speed of Implementation.

[ad#Google Adsense-1]

I heard of this concept from my mentor Eben Pagan. What this simply means is that successful people have a habit of whenever they get an idea, they do not question whether it’s a good idea or not, whether it will work or not, whether people will accept it or not. They simply implement it right away so they can get feedback as to whether to continue to use the idea, whether to tweak it or whether to throw the idea away.

You need to develop this concept called the Speed of Implementation. Let’s say for example you are trying to gain some energy in your life cause you tend to feel tired a lot and someone tells you to try drinking more water and see if that makes a difference. Why not implement it right away and see if you feel a bit better. Don’t argue as to why you cannot drink more water, or whether this concept is too old it will never work. Just drink some more water and see how you feel.

You need to get all of those ideas out of your head and start taking action on them. This is the best way to make use of your ideas. If you’re in business and you have an idea on how to get more customers then try it out and see what happens. Marketers call this testing. You need to test your ideas to see whether they will bear fruit or not.

Doing nothing with your ideas is robbing you from tremendous success and learning experiences. Next time you get an idea write it down somewhere and see how quickly you can implement it. It’s called the Speed of Implementation. Try it out and let me know what you learn in this process.

That’s the best way to make the best use of your ideas!!!
