I know people who, week in and week out, bust their backs working long and hard many extra hours every day and who accomplish nothing more than working themselves half to death for little or nothing. Oh,…by that I mean that they work very long, hard, and arduous hours almost each and every day…but in the final analysis, they have little or nothing to show for their efforts. They would be the first to tell you how hard they are working,…how much is demanded of them by their superiors every day,…how little, if any, free time they have for themselves each week…and yet they never seem to be any further ahead this year than they were at this same time last year.
Without a definiteness of purpose to your life,…without a proven plan to succeed in place for your life,…without the guidance and direction you need to progress up your own road to success,…you will just keep spinning your wheels,…keep spending lots of time,…making a lot of noise,… burning up a lot of fuel,…and really going nowhere new. Just more of the same nothingness each and every year of your life. It is kind of like running on a circular track…no matter how long or how hard you are running, you just keep coming back to the same starting point time and time again. Activity does not always equate to productivity. This statement of truth is the specific reason why so many people in the workforce today willingly admit that they are getting far less results than they ever planned on achieving from the hard work they are putting forth each week. These folks are really confused. They have mistakingly thought that activity will always create production. This simply is not so. Just because a person is doing something, working hard, laboring at many different and difficult tasks,…doesn’t always mean that they are getting anywhere important or achieving anything of significance.
The real secret to your own personal success is you knowing for certain what it is that you are actually doing each day that is really and truly productive,…that actually produces accomplished and profitable effort. Once this vital information is known for certain, then the real secret is for you to maximize doing this very thing that is the most productive. Quit wasting time, energy, and resources doing unimportant and unproductive things or efforts.
It is not complicated,…don’t make it so.
If you want to be more successful, earn more money, or reach your goals faster than you presently are reaching them, then simply separate activity from productivity and commit at least half of every one of your workdays to productivity.
By doing what I am suggesting for you to do, you will be amazed and excited to discover just how much more you are able to accomplish and how much greater will be your earned income as a result of your greater productivity.
Effective performance,…doing those things with your life that actually produce desired results,…is the most significant thing one can do to insure accomplishing the desires of their own hearts and minds.
Leaders lead. They take complete ownership of their own personal assigned responsibilities. They don’t look for ways to get out of doing what ever it takes to complete the mission. They take charge and they continuously perform their tasks until the job is completed and finished.
It is fine to be busy,…just don’t be busy being broke.
Leaders Gotta Lead…………
