Ever struggle to get going on anything? Here is something that will help you get going immediately. It is called the 5,4,3,2,1 rule. Just start counting backwards from 5. When you reach zero you must have started already with what you wanted to do. Activate that investment, grab the rake, vacuum cleaner or make that call – just get going before you reach zero.

Here are 3 takeaways:

• Start counting from 5 every time you want to delay something.
  • Action creates momentum
    • You are busy creating a habit that will compound over time into something huge.

Keep upgrading your mind.

The quote “Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is,” captures a timeless truth. Real learning begins the moment you take responsibility for your own development. Self-education is what transforms your life.

Here are three key takeaways to think about this week:

1. Your growth is your responsibility. Whether it is reading, listening to mentors/podcasts, studying health or wealth, improving your habits or developing new skills. Nobody can grow on your behalf.
   • 2. It shapes the person you become. Every book you read, every lesson you study, every skill you practice – they all shape your character.
   • 3. Self-education creates advantage in a busy world. Most people stop learning once they leave school or university. That is why those who keep educating themselves automatically rise above the crowd.

Keep educating yourself!
