I now this is not a politically correct statement, but I believe that the origins of this cliché have bounced to your ear, from someone, who is attempting to make excuses for their lack of performance. Excuses are what many people use to pacify their own guilt or said differently, they are trying to pacify their negative feelings towards themselves, for not performing according to their full potential.

Before the advent of video games and the constant bombardment of 24 hour entertainment streaming directly into our lounges, the highlight of our year was attending the carnival, when it came to town. We could hardly wait to ride the bobbing wild animals and whirl, round and round to the music that was blasting out of the old antique pipe organ. Surrounded by flashing lights and strategically placed mirrors, our hearts would race as we all competed to be the one who could reach out and grab hold of the gold ring, thereby winning another free ride.

The compound effect is remarkable and small consistent, well directed efforts over time, add up to remarkable results in our lives and businesses.

The actions you consistently take every day have a huge influence on the way your life turns out and as you know the actions you take are influenced by the thoughts you think and the self-talk you engage in every day. So what do you think will happen if you changed your self-talk and spoke differently to yourself? Do you think you could positively influence your daily actions?r

Because we live in such a now generation, with instant popcorn, microwaves and fast food, we have become impatient and expect everything in our lives to be instant. We expect instant success, instant personal growth and the case of our health we want instant results there too. Leaders are no different, they too want to move fast and see their vision fulfilled as quickly as possible. They believe that if they develop a crystal clear picture of where they want their team or organization to go, they have a strong clear idea how to get it done and they have sufficient drive and passion.

Are you feeling like you are stuck in a pinball machine, where you are juggling the demands of your current circumstances, but you are constantly getting bumped around and never seem to get any time to focus on creating the life, you have dreamed about. In fact you are so tired of getting bumped around and pushed away from your dreams, that you have finally just resigned yourself to your lot in life. You have accepted that your life is just an endless cycle of jumping onto the hamster wheel every day, spinning your wheels, working yourself to the bone and achieving nothing meaningful.

After you have invested time into creating a crystal clear picture of what you want your future to look like, you have set realistic goals that will stretch you and move you towards achieving just that in your life. You have given yourself something to aim for, success is not a destination, it is a direction. Now all that is left to do, is to build a blueprint or map that will not only give you direction, but will chart a clear course, which will take you from where you are to where you want your life to go.

Each of us has a core work style (governed by our core personality style) which, when consciously understood, can provide powerful insight into how we go about managing our time. By way of example, here are two very different atto ey profiles as depicted by a widely-used style inventory call the DISC. (These are the actual graphs of two of my clients.) The atto ey on the left tackles challenges aggressively, gets bored easily, and cares less about process than outcome.

Formal education is important, but not crucial; to create sustainable success in your life, as it only equips you with the fundamentals for making a living. A commitment to lifelong learning and consistent growth, on the other hand is crucial, if you want to achieve and sustain greatness, as it allows you to keep expanding your limits and invites new possibility into your experience.

Nothing is more precious than time, and the pace of modern life is faster than at any time in history, and it's only going to get faster. There are always more and more demands on our time and more things we are expected to deal with. Not only that, but we are also expected to be able to deal with many of these things at the same time.nnMulti-tasking seems to be the norm and is expected of all of us. But is multi tasking actually the most effective way to manage your time? Ca

As simple as it may sound time management is based on task management, completing important tasks within the limited time that you have. Therefore, an important element of time management is identifying the tasks that you want to complete and organizing them into a simple list. A list is a valuable planning tool that is often overlooked, but the benefits of using it are immense. Success expert Brian Tracy says "every minute in planning saves as many as ten minutes in executio

Have you been working yourself to the bone, pursuing success, working long hours, giving your all, but somehow success just seems to elude you. It always seems to stay out of reach and even redoubling your efforts does not seem to help much. No matter how much persistence you apply and how hard you try, you seem stuck on a hamster wheel and the harder you try, the more you seem to just spin your wheels. The reason for this is simple; you are approaching success from the wrong perspective. You cannot pursue success, anything you pursue, will elude you.

Have you ever thought about the number of times in your life as a child and as an adult you were reprimanded /punished for doing the wrong thing, the right thing in the wrong way or being late? Then too, how many times were you praised/rewarded for doing the right thing in the right way and ...

The greatest threat to your future success has very little to do with anything outside of you. The greatest thief of your potential is not someone waiting in an alley, eager to rob you; it is your own mind. Don’t become a victim to yourself and allow your dreams to be crushed because you are limiting your potential with doubt and negative thoughts.

There is a never ending commentary going on in our heads, even during certain parts of our sleep cycle each night. We are constantly talking to ourselves, even though we are seldom aware that we are doing it. This on-going commentary relates to events we experience and our reactions to those events. Unless you are vigilant, your self-talk can become extremely negative and destructive or limiting in nature.

The hardest thing for me to deal with from myself or anyone else is an undelivered promise. I always feel very uncomfortable when someone else lets me down, but it is the promises that I make to myself that I don’t keep, which hurt the most. I am sure that I am not alone when I say that I have made promises or commitments to myself that I failed to keep during 2011. At the start of this festive season for example, I made a commitment to myself, to not overindulge like I have in the past, over this silly season.

We all have a set of unwritten rules about the way we do things and the way we expect people to respond to us. I grew in a tough neighbourhood, where if you showed weaknesses, you would be bullied and treated as an outcast. Did you think I needed to be sent an email or a memo, as I was growing up to be informed of that fact? Or was it just an unwritten rule about how things were in the neighbourhood. It was an almost unconscious knowing that permeated through the neighbourhood. The same is true about the unwritten set of rules, which form the culture within your organisation.

No matter how well organized and efficient we think we are, at some point we’ve all felt as if there’s just not enough hours in the workday to keep up with everything. And so we end up falling behind and we panic. And in a desperate effort to boost our time management skills we start researching books, courses and software applications. To spare you the trouble, I’ve put together a list of 5 excellent (and free!) tools to get you started on the journey to better time ma

My experience has shown me that when you focus your energy on improving your strengths and carrying out only activities, which are aligned with these, you are far more effective and efficient. Average people spend time to save money, doing things they hate, whilst super achievers spend money to save time, so they can focus on doing what they love. Money is infinite and easy to earn, whilst your time is finite and far more valuable.

Time management is so important in our lives. We don’t understand how important it is. We all have 24 hours in a day. We can choose to be productive with it or waste it. It is totally up to each one of us. Whether we are self-employed and work from home or have a job, we can all use more structure in our lives. Us Americans have a tendency to try to multi-task all the time. This is very inefficient. We need to have complete focus to get things accomplished. We can have multip

Irrespective how clever, rich or talented you are, there is one thing we all receive exactly the same amount of each day. The way we choose to manage this scarce resource, is the single most important factor, which determines how things turn out in our lives. Choose to squander yours and you will live a life of average, choose to carefully invest your available TIME into only priority activities, which are aligned with the outcomes you want to achieve and you have mastered your life.

You play an integral role, in the way people treat and respond to you. If you are not enjoying the way people in your environment are treating or responding to you right now, there is only one thing you need to do. Change the way you treat and respond to all the people around you. As you know it is impossible to change anyone else, but changing yourself is one simple decision away. As you change the way you treat people and you begin to show people how you want to be treated, almost as if by magic, everyone around you will begin to treat you differently.

If you’re like many people, you may occasionally find yourself mismanaging your time. It’s very easy to slip into poor time management habits. It might not seem like your lack of time management is doing that much damage overall, but if you add up all the time you’re wasting, you might be surprised to find that it equals a full work day or more! Since the old saying of time is money is certainly true, this means you’ve wasted a good amount of both! What can you do to

The first month of the New Year is well on its way to being over. How are you doing with keeping your commitments, to carry out the daily activities you need to do, to achieve your goals?

Feeling fear whenever you are thrusting yourself outside your comfort zone is a natural response.

How are you Investing Each Hour that Passes? Is every hour that passes during the day, the most effective use of your time?

What do business mistakes have to do with termites? More than you may think!

Attempting to pursue happiness is as effective as attempting to discover the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The harder you try to find happiness, the more you pursue it, the further out of your reach it will become. Happiness is never something you pursue; it is something you choose to enjoy, because of internal feelings of contentment and meaning. It is a state of mind, you can choose to invite into your experience at any time.
