Never settle for mediocrity. You should plan your daily activities just as you should plan your life. The more time you spend cultivating your skills and improving on your weaknesses, more you invest in your future and better you will learn what success is and enjoy it to fullest. In order to perform and your peak level, you must have passion for work that you do.

While not everyone has luxury of working at a job they love, you can learn to make most of your job and your life if you practice proper time management and remember that best investment is you. Improving your skills, your relationships with others, and your productivity will give you a feeling of accomplishment and put you on road to learning what success really is.

The best thing you can do to improve both your personal and professional life is to build upon your strengths and work to enhance your weaknesses. The best investment is you when you are looking to discover what success is. When you are happy in what you do, have a passion for life, and accomplish your goals, you will enjoy success and financial security. Success is not measured by a standard formula. Each person will have to determine what he or she wants to achieve and decide what success means to him or her individually.

Ask yourself:

"What do I want from life?" "What do I want from my business?" "WHY do I want this or want to do this?"

Remember, WHY is more important than HOW...If you clearly know YOUR WHY, you'll figure out HOW!

There are seven distinct goal areas:

Family, Spiritual, Mental, Career, Social, Financial, Health

What do you want to achieve in ALL these areas in six months, one year, three years, and five years from now? Why not switch off TV and mobile, and go to a quiet place, close out ALL distractions, and let your thoughts begin to pour out onto paper!

Do this daily, for one week, and when you're done, you can begin prioritizing your list into what's immediately important. Create a plan.

Get started right NOW, and join 10% club and you're on your way to massive success, because most won't do this...

If you do you will have just accomplished what 90% of what your competition fails to do!!!!

Have you got written goals?

The time to make a difference is now is now...

Tip

We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves, remember always face reality - ‘they' do not exist.
