Living In The Past? There's No Future There

“People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I’ve got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There’s no future in it.”~Sparky Anderson

Are you afraid of competing in the present? Are you living in your past? As Sparky said, "there's no future in it." The key is to always be present. Don't live in the past and don't spend a lot of time in the future, stay in the present.

Robert Collier said "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." That's the key, day in and day out. It doesn't say anything about yesterday or tomorrow, but day in and day out. Live for today, work for today, for today may be all you ever get. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is too far away.

Be present today. Stop living in the past and stop living in the future. Today is the only time you can live, so be present today. Repeat your disciplines day in and day out and at the end of the day, let it go, it's done, it's gone.

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Merely Surviving?

"A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine." ~Og Mandino

Are you frittering away your precious hours? Really? Are you sure? I think most of us have gotten real good at frittering...What could you be doing RIGHT NOW to create the things you want in your life?

"You have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine." Do you realize that? You do have the ability to accomplish so much. But you might need to make a slight change. What could that change be? It will be different for everybody but you need to decide what it is...no one else will be able to tell you.

Jim Rohn said "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day." What are your simple disciplines? Do you know what they are? If you don't, ask...otherwise you will be practicing the wrong ones and not getting what you want.

Action:
Stop frittering away your precious time. Figure out what that small change is and make it RIGHT AWAY! Decide what your simple disciplines are and start practicing them every day.  Save the date:  November 30th, Friday afternoon, "Goals, Goals, 2013 Goals" workshop.  Learn why you struggle to reach your goals.  Learn how to more effectively use your time getting what you want!

Success And Failure - Jim Rohn

"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day, while failure is simply a few errors in judgment repeated every day."~Jim Rohn

What are your simple disciplines? Are you practicing them every day, or maybe just every other day?

Here's the thing; we each have our own simple disciplines! You just can't say do this and you will be successful. You have to find what works best for you and the only way to do that is to try and fail and realize that the failure was just an error in judgment, nothing more, nothing less.

We've been taught that it is wrong to fail, that failure is bad and we should never do it...

What a bunch of crap! Would we ever learned to walk if after the first time we tried and failed, we stopped because failure is bad??? What about learning to ride a bicycle? What about playing sports?

As usual, Jim Rohn was right:

"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day, while failure is simply a few errors in judgment repeated every day."

What Are Your Disciplines?

"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day."~Jim Rohn

What are your disciplines? Are you practicing them every day? Why not? Everybody has different disciplines and the key is to find what yours are and then do them every day.

See it's easy to follow simple disciplines, but because it's easy to do, it's also easy not to do. So, are you practicing those disciplines every day?

Why practice them? Why do pro athletes practice every day? Even after they've been doing it for years and years? I saw an advertisement once that answered that question. "Amateurs work until they get it right but professionals work until they can't do it wrong." Wow, think about that.

Are you working at it until you can't get it wrong?? What a difference than working at it until you get it right...

"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day."

Are You Learning?

"You can't meet the challenges of today, with yesterday's tools and expect to be in business tomorrow."

What are you learning today that will help you tomorrow? Are you learning new things? Why not? In this "new economy" you need to be constantly learning new things, or at least going over things that you learned a long time ago and discarded.

Think about the way that you did business. How has that changed and is it for the better? I'd guess not. Sometimes we think that we need the latest and greatest new thing for our business when all we really need is what has worked before, maybe just tweaked a little.

As business owners we are always looking for 'the secret.' There is no secret. As Jim Rohn says, "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day, while failure is simply a few errors in judgment repeated every day."

Always Be Learning.
