How To Have A Perfect Day (1)

There are practically two ways to have a perfect day:
a. Have a to-do-list
b. Have a NOT-to-do list. I'll enunciate on the latter today, and leave the former for another day.

You see, facing temptations and getting distracted is one of our every day experiences in life. Our temptations are so pervasive; our flaws, so easily exposed. Our weaknesses make us vulnerable. Humans, it sometimes seems, are built to fail.

The answer to 'staying on course' and realizing your dreams against all odds is to have a NOT-to-do list.

Be clear about what you will and will not do each day. Be clear about what you will not do for success. Some items are easy. You will not lie, cheat, and steal. Those don’t necessarily need to be written down. But you need to be clear that you:
  • Do not stay longer than necessary in bed.
  • Do not check email or head straight to Facebook and WhatsApp first thing in the morning.
  • Do not mindlessly surf the Internet and click on every useless link that jumps up at you.
  • Do not argue with colleagues about non-work-related topics or waste time gossiping with chums in school.
  • Do not consume food or drink that makes you tired or unwell.

You will need to add specific items that identify your individual weaknesses and the obstacles that come your way each day.

You must make a list of not-to-do items so that you do not succumb to temptation in the morning when your willpower and discipline are strongest. The morning is the greatest opportunity you will have to make progress.

This is where you must win the battle for your day and the war for your future.

Have an amazing day!

KILLER OPPORTUNITY OF THE CENTURY Imagine it's 1976 and you're outside, going for a walk in your neighbourhood. As you walk, you pass the neighbour's house whose garage is open... Inside, they're tinkering with computers - and you greet them... "Hey Steve!" -  you say... and behind them is a handwritten sign that reads "Apple Computers"... Knowing what you do now, would you walk past them - or instead try to get involved with their company? Cryptocurrency is a similar story. Once "just a fad" - the cryptocurrency industry currently sits at a market cap of over 1 trillion dollars! ...and today, over 300 million people own crypto. Over the next few years, I'd guess that billions will own crypto - and it is still very much in its infancy. So, after hearing that story about Apple, do you... A) Walk past this enormous opportunity (and perhaps regret it later)... OR... B) Get involved now - before it's too late...? Listen... if you don...

Common Sense Secret Of High Achievers

There is one thing people lack in life that prevents them from reaching their goals. It's called having a mentor. People who have mentors reach their goals more often than people who don't. Here's 4 reasons you need a mentor: A mentor will.. 1. Hold you accountable, even when you run out of motivation 2. Make you productive, even when you feel like you're not making progress 3. Stay positive, even when you're surrounded by negativity 4. Keep you focused, even when you have a lot going on. I didn't think of mentors as important to my success in life until I realized that virtually everyone I've been looking up to as role model still undergo one form of mentorship or the other. In other words, highly successful people still have mentors. To be honest, finding a mentor isn't easy. Most mentors these days are too busy with personal projects to make themselves available. But there's good news. The internet has made it possibl...
