Self talk [inner dialogue]: creatives talk in powerful confident manner aboutrepparttar thrills & delights whilerepparttar 136565 clods talk to themselves in self defeating and deprecating ways about why they can't.

VAK's: creatives visualize in large, color, 3-Drepparttar 136566 future with a fantastic sound track and how wonderful it feels to be doing it. Clods see tiny b/w pix with screechy voices and soundtrack and feel discouraged.

Beliefs of elite performers: 1. Everything happens for a reason/purpose and it serves us.

2. No such thing as failure just results or feedback for next step. The only failure is in no longer trying.

3. Take responsibility for where you are and who you are.

4. People are our greatest resources. We need each other. The interdependent paradigm.

5. Use everything now. You don't need to wait til you know everything. Get help for details. 6. Work is play. Our vocation is a vacation. Do what you love.

7. It's not what happens to you that matters but what you do about it. Persistence...keep on keeping on

The Success Formula of high performers: 1. Decide what you want. 2. Take Action. Do something...NOW! 3. Notice what works, do more of that. Notice what doesn't, do something else. 4. Repeat above as long as necessary.

Clods do none ofrepparttar 136569 formula or give up quickly.

2.Schedule some time each day to do what you want. These arerepparttar things that tend not to get done, so make time for them.

3.Declare one day a week a day of rest. Don’t schedule anything for it. Don’t do any chores. Don’t buy anything. Spend it getting together with friends, with family, reading, lying about.

4.Block out a limited amount of time each week for running errands. Avoid doing them on your way to someplace else. Try doing them at a time when fewer people are out and about (i.e. Saturday mornings before 11.) If you can, leave your car at home. Patronize businesses within walking or biking distance of your home. Bring home only what you can comfortably carry. Try home delivery.

5.Don’t confuse urgency with importance. Figure out what’s most important to you and make your decisions accordingly. Just becauserepparttar 136564 phone rings orrepparttar 136565 doorbell rings, doesn’t mean you have to answer it. If you’re not spendingrepparttar 136566 majority of your time doing what’s important to you, take a long hard look at why not.

6. Dumprepparttar 136567 to-do list. Instead, createrepparttar 136568 ‘done’ list. Focus on what you are getting done, not what you’re not getting around to.

Life is short. Use your time not only wisely, but well.
