The only place where success comes before work…

Everyone wants success in business, health, relationships and wealth, but the only place you’ll ever see success come before work is in the dictionary! YOU must put in the time and hard work in order to achieve success.

3 things to think about

  • Success requires consistent effort – small daily actions compound over time.
  • Work builds character and skill – setbacks and struggles you face while working hard, give you the knowledge you’ll need to handle success in the future.
  • Dreaming is important, but execution is everything. Success responds to effort, persistence and action.

Go and make a difference!

The CANEI formula

In his book, “No Excuses” Brian Tracey writes about the CANEI (Constant And Never Ending Improvement) formula. This formula is a powerful principle for personal growth.

When you commit to the CANEI formula, you shift your mindset from perfection to progress. This approach will build momentum in any area of your life – health, business, relationships and finances.

3 things to think about:

  • Small improvements compound over time – you don’t need to change everything at once
  • Consistency beats intensity – CANEI rewards those who show up every day
  • Growth becomes a habit, not a goal – growth becomes part of who you are, not something you start and stop.

The CANEI formula reminds us that success is not an event – it’s a never ending process. Keep learning, working on self-improvement and never stop growing.

Have an awesome week!

No need to worry

Ninety percent of the things you worry about will never even happen. Yes, that is really hilarious if you start thinking about it. Worries just rob you of your time. Worries drain your energy – that’s why you are always tired. Instead, you can use the same energy to think about something positive and empowering.

3 things to think about this week

  • Gratitude – just be thankful for what you have.
  • Focus on “what can go right” instead of “what can go wrong”.
  • Move from worrier to warrior – go into every day with purpose.

May you have a blessed week!

You cannot drift to the top of the mountain

Yes, and you cannot climb a smooth mountain. Life is full of problems, and you must learn to solve them while smiling. Some days are tougher than others, but every day offers something to be grateful for.

Never dwell too long on the negative; there are too many positive things to be grateful for. You can use the 5/5 rule. If it’s not going to matter in 5 years, don’t dwell on it for more than 5 minutes. Enjoy the little things, because most of the time, they turn out to be the big things in the end.

Here are 3 takeaway points for the week ahead:

  1. Only you can take responsibility for you.
  2. Challenge yourself to focus on the positive side
  3. Take deliberate action

Have an awesome week.

How to get started on anything.

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.
