Many of us have dreams of a better future. A few of us may have even invested quite a few dollars in a course (or 2) that promised to help us make more money in less time so we can enjoy the life style of our dreams. And I’m sure many of us as we read this sentence will start to reflect on how much money we have invested only to have that course sit on the shelf where ‘one day’, when you get the time, you will sit down and do it.

I’ve had a couple of dreams this year…

• I wanted to have a way of taking Generating Time to the US and over East without having to go there myself every single time.


• I wanted to help more people without investing more time.


• I wanted to stop trading time for money.

Like you, I’ve had a few challenges.

My boy started full time school this year.

• I had another baby.


• We started another business (that was a big one!)


• I still had “Generating Time” and all the associated work to do


• We had to get rid of the sand and create a backyard… and it goes on…

What to do? Put my goals of expansion on the backburner because I have enough on my plate? The timing is not right with the new baby, new business and the global crisis?

NO! I just applied what I write to you about every fortnight…

1. I brain stormed my ideas. What from these were going to achieve my goals in the easiest way with the best outcome. The 80/20 principle… Impact and ease.


2. I scoped out a plan and scheduled my most important work into my week weekly using Outlook and a project plan. Daily chipping away at the massive task. Leaving room for other things that just come up and other priorities eg my family


3. I outsourced immediately what I have no skill at doing eg IT (Thank you Prospects & Profits Business Consultants Pty Ltd And Malcolm Washington from Washinton PCs)


4. I asked for support my family to help me with external interruptions and the kids. It helped knowing how long I needed each time eg 1 hour or 90 minutes etc As this gives everyone parameters to work with


5. I batched work eg work outside of home all on 1 day, emails once a day


6. I did my most important work first be it writing or recording. I didn’t waste the time I was able to record (eg my daughter was asleep) on emails!


7. At every opportunity I mentioned what I was doing to others (this help me beat procrastination because I’d told too many not to do it)


8. I bit the bullet and just started even though it was not going to be perfect at first

My outcome…

The Generating Time Complete e-Course, which is my workshop online PLUS heaps of other bonuses.

AND the Generating More Time With Outlook Membership Program. Which is a series of eclasses that show you how to use this tool that we use every single day in a way that will help you get back time, increase your productivity, increase your profits, increase your speed and efficiency. Basically a lot of people use outlook but don’t know how to use it. Outlook has 1000s of functions and through 30 minute (or less) DVDs I show you to use it as a business tool, the best bits, what it has to offer. I explain why as well as how.

Anyway, the whole point of what I am telling you is, you have to start somewhere and taking small steps in the right direction eventually gets you to where you are going. You need to make a appointments with yourself so you find/have the time to do things you dream of achieving even if it’s only 10 minutes. You need to work out a way/s of beating your procrastination and challenges so you make a start and eventually get it finished. Other wise a whole month, year, life can go by and you are still dreaming of better times.

Heavy!

Do you have a goal that you have not started because you don’t have time? Can you schedule the first step you need to take next week OR better still THIS week? What are you going to do?

I always say, make YOUR soon NOW!
