05 01 Live life according to your values! When we live according to our values we get the things done that really matter. The ultimate responsibility in life is being responsible for how we choose to spend our time. When we take action and focus on making every minute count we get the things done that really matter! 02 03 Make work your passion! Be inspired and spend time with other motivated people - have hope and see the possibility for a better life, greater purpose, excitement and gratitude for life’s journey. As the Thought Leaders mantra says – do work you like, with people you like, the way you like. Progress towards a life that rocks and make work your passion. Having it all is not doing it all! Sometimes we think we have lost our mojo, but all we may need is help help that frees us to focus on what we do best. The key to HAVING IT ALL is not doing it all – this is a key component of success! Decide if it’s better to delete it, delegate it or share it before you just do it. Delegate or stagnate – it’s your choice. Rework your time! Rework your time by saying no to low value tasks, which allows us to say yes to high value tasks. The first step is to decide which is which. The second is to act on those decisions and be disciplined about it. Before saying, “I don’t have time” – choose to rework your time. That way the only thing Results NOT excuses! you won’t have time for is low When we make excuses we are saying value tasks! that we are not responsible and that someone or something else is. Take responsibility, don’t make excuses, stay out of drama and have a bias for action. Adopt the motto Results Rock – Excuses Do Not! 04 06 Self- first is NOT selfish! We give so much of ourselves - physically, psychologically, emotionally and financially to help and support others. Sometimes is it easy to overlook the one person that needs your help and support the most - and that’s you. The best and safest way to help others is to work on a more effective you! 07 Undress your ambition! Once you’ve made a decision about what you want there’s a crucial success step that’s often missed. It’s the act of getting ‘undressed’ and revealing your aspirations. Going ‘naked’ with your ambitions is a way to fast track your success. As the saying goes, “you can’t sell a secret” – so shout your ambitions to the world!
