I was recently reminded of one of my favourite quotes and mentioned it in another post (can’t remember where, I must be at that age LOL) and is very relevant and is from the famous scientist Isaac Newton who said:-

"If it appears that I can see further it’s because I am standing on the shoulders of giants". 

He obviously felt somewhat humbled by others who had helped him and who he had learned from.

How do you spend 80% of your time


My goal is to spend 80% of my time on the tasks that are going to bring me in the greatest results.

I focus on 3 main areas in my business;

1. Creating and distributing content
2. Creating and delivering new courses / current course content
3. Networking & building relationships

So over the course of a week, I'm constantly looking for ways to get the greatest results in any one of these 3 areas.

If I catch myself spending time doing anything that takes me away from these, then I start to look at how I can systemise and outsource the task I am doing.

However, sometimes life gets in the way and you can get to the end of a whole day or week and realise you've achieved nothing!

That's why it's important to not only plan the week ahead but also review the week behind, so you can highlight some weaknesses and make a note of how you can change / outsource or improve on those areas moving forward.

Remember, you want to spend 80% of your time doing the things that are going to get you the greatest results.

Take some time out today and review last week and plan the week ahead.

Decide today what you want to have accomplished by this time next week and then dive headlong into it tomorrow!
Don’t Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t quit

Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us at sometimes learns
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out
Don’t give up through the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow

Often the goal is nearer than it seems
To a faint and faltering man
Often the struggle has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup
When he learned too late when the night came
How close he was to the golden crown

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worse that you mustn’t quite
