I just got a new bike and I can’t wait to take it for a ride, so this will be short and to the point.
Time is often referred to as our greatest resource.
It’s NOT our greatest resource, energy is.
We all have the same amount of time every day,1440 minutes to be exact.
What we do with them is our choice. But it really comes down to three options.
But before I tell you about the options, let me draw an anology. Imagine the 1440 minutes as gold coins that you receive every day. The options I am going to line out for you are easier to imagine if you substitute gold coins for minutes.
The minutes you receive every day (imagine the gold coins) are yours and yours alone. You can’t keep the minutes, they are gone at the end of the day.
You can waste them, invest them or spend them. These are your only choices.
Whatever you decide, you will have another 1440 minutes every day as long as you are alive, so we don’t need to concern ourselves about that.
We can waste time and sometimes we need to do just that in order to recharge ourselves.
We can also spend time. An example would be working in our business. We do things like taking care of our customers. This is critically important and a great way to spend our time.
The best use of time however is to invest it. An example is working on our business. By spending time working on our business, we move the business a notch forward in a calculated and deliberate way toward a goal or a desired change.
Spend time routinely working on our business by investing some time every day in the process and we dramatically alter our business and our lives!
Invest time with a sense of urgency and we tap into our greatest asset, our energy. An example would be watching how hard people work, in comparison to their usual work day, for the last week before their long awaited, and planned for, vacation. This is the power of energy.
Remember you get results if you take immediate action on your idea!
