“Self Reliance is the core of

everything you will ever achieve!”

We are a society of do-ers.  Particularly the highly motivated ones are likely to be up and doing stuff, creating, selling, promoting, building and working to achieve goals and make their dreams come true.  We are on the road.  We have meetings and activities and calls to make.

We do too much… And too often, we pay a high price!

Sure, you’ve heard that we pay a price in high blood pressure or stress or whatever, but I’m talking about two much more specific (and ironic!) costs we all pay for our too-often-too-frantic pace of life.

First, we rob ourselves of results…

You read that correctly.  I am convinced that often our eagerness to achieve actually robs us of the success we desire. How can that be?  Too often the pace of life leads to mistakes, to over-sights and carelessness, and that costs us. We’ve all heard how the rush to stay on schedule contributed to the Challenger and Columbia shuttle tragedies.  And, in our own lives, we all have smaller examples of that.  In rushing to get to work, I forget my diary.  In dashing to an appointment, I fail to read the message telling me the meeting is cancelled.  In our frantic attempts to “multi-task” nothing gets done well, and sometimes accidents happen, and that costs everyone.

Secondly, we confuse action with results…

We are so eager, so ambitious and so full of adrenalin that we spin our wheels, create lots of noise and smoke and confusion, but do not necessarily produce the results we need. Typically, that’s because of poor planning.  We are so eager to get started that we skip the instructions.  We use brute force or sheer determination instead of developing a smart, simple, elegant strategy for results. We confuse effort with productivity, and in the long run, that is deadly!

High achievers don’t work that hard!

I am convinced that the most successful people in life take it slow.  They plan and they execute with wisdom and focus and leverage.  Yes, of course they work hard, but everyone does that.

Extraordinary outcomes require a superior strategy, and that requires thought and patience and care and precision

To win BIG in the game of life, sit down, think and read, plan and strategize.  Manage Yourself! Talk with successful people.  Follow directions, use your head, stay calm and do the “smart” thing rather than making all the noise and dust and confusion of your competitors.

The BIG winners in life work hard, but more importantly, their work produces extraordinary results.  Never use brute force or will-power or muscles or crude, rude energy when a simple plan, elegantly executed will produce more and better results, faster and with less cost. And, let’s be honest, being smart is a heck of a lot more FUN! Need time and space and tools to collect your thoughts and develop great strategies?

The first and most important strategy is to manage yourself!

Time is a very precious resource. The fact is that regardless of how well you manage your time, at the end of the day, each and every one of us only has 24 hours in each day. You (or your staff) don’t need to learn to manage your time, but you need to learn how to manage yourself. By learning how to manage your time, you might get things done faster, but what is the use of going faster if it turns out that you are going in the wrong direction? After all we are ‘human beings’ not ‘human doings’.

This 8 Hour Program is usually run over 2 x 4 hour sessions. It will be an eye opener for you and your staff. You will experience an immediate change in your work environment and in the productivity of your workplace. You will learn:

• How to increase your income and company profitability, by having more time off. Yes that is right, this it not a typing mistake. The status of your success is determined by the amount of time you (and your staff) take off. If you don’t get this right, nothing will be successful long term.

• How to improve work moral and in turn improve work effectiveness and profitability.

• How to simplify your life and get rid of chaos and complexity, to make room for more awareness, more possibility, more hope for tomorrow and ultimately more money.

• How to apply the power of focus. You won’t need determination… You won’t need willpower… it’s simply about locking into our natural talents and putting them to use in the right place.

And Remember what Theodore Roosevelt said:

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.
