For Goal Setting.

“I was hoping you could either expand on or point me in the right direction regarding this philosophy.  I am having a hard time with the balance of this rule and how to apply it to my life. Is it…
12 minutes each hour?
4.8 hours each day?
1.4 days each week?
6 days each month?
or 3.3 months per year?”

Aha…I use it more as a metaphor and not a measurement or ratio of time.

Using the 80/20 Rule helps you stay on plan 80% of the time and using the 20% as “wiggle room”, it allows a little freedom while slowly changing your habits, patterns and ultimately, your routine.

And the 80/20 rule can be applied to all areas of your life.

My competitors do more for me than my friends.

My friends are too polite to point out my weaknesses, but my competitors go to great lengths to tell me all of them.

My competitors are efficient and diligent. They make me search for ways to improve my service and efficiencies.

My competitors would take my business away from me if they could.

This keeps me alert and to hold what I have.

If I had no competitors, I would be lazy, incompetent and complacent. I need the discipline they enforce on me.

I thank my competitors. They have been good to me.

Am I better than this?

Look around…your life – relationships, your effort, work, family, exercise, eating.

Some areas may need a little more attention.

It’s OK – for sometimes we are doing so many things that we don’t remember to take the time to assess where we are, and what area needs more attention.

So just see what area or areas have been a bit malnourished by you, and set some small goals to get them back on track.

It’s just called maintenance – cultivating your life’s garden – and then watch it grow:)

For “fired up”?

YOU!

I said it, and you know it.

So don’t even think about going through the motions, that’s not like you.

Show the world what you’re all about!

Yourself through another’s eyes.

We all have a perception of who we are and what we can become, and the studies show that other people think more highly of you than you do of yourself.

I think and believe that everyone has the ability to achieve at their highest potential and what stands in the way is the way they view themselves.

So don’t be afraid of seeing yourself through another’s eyes – for what is seen, is usually better than what is seen by you.
