Recognize that winners make decisions that create
future they desire, while losers make decisions that create present they desire.
Make shift from a short-term focus to long-term and you'll find you can create time in many areas where there appeared to be none.
Coach's Tip: One way to succeed in improving your time-management skills is to find someone who you admire and would like to emulate. Ask to interview them and find out how they schedule their days. Discover how they use their free time and then do what they do. Seek out top people in your field and ask them, "What books do you read? What advice would you give me to help me win in my game?"
You may just be surprised at how happy top performers are to help you.
Poor performers hang around people who are going nowhere and emulate their thoughts and actions, or lack thereof.
Dr. David McClellan of Harvard found that if you associate with a reference group (friends, associates, coworkers, family members, etc.) who are not success oriented, that choice alone can stop any possibility of you being successful in life.
Your choice of whom you associate with personally, business-wise, or socially is one of most important choices you'll ever make in your life. If you associate with turkeys, and act just like them, you'll never learn to fly with eagles.
