The lady who ran my business in England worked very hard. She ‘opened’ that country and, within a couple of years, did literally millions in sales. At one point I asked her when was her last vacation. She said, “Oh, there’ll be plenty of time for that later.” So it’s been a couple of years. “Yes.” OK, here’s a direct order. Take a vacation. “Don’t be silly” she said, “I have far too much to do.” I repeat. It’s an order. She took a couple of weeks off at Christmas and visited Disney in Florida. In January she said, “You were right. I am amazed how I was sliding without knowing it. It was happening so gradually I simply did not realize it. Now I’m rested, I make decisions better and much faster.” All my life I have been too busy to do the things I consider non-business. Yet if I’m at one meeting I certainly can not be at another one at the same time. And that does not ruin my business. So I ‘schedule’ my wife in, like an appointment. It’s worked for our 44 years of marriage. (And the business became a million a day sales!) If things are not going well for you, that’s when to schedule some time out. Not to work harder. But to take time out. So things will improve. ————————– To reinforce this read any two below: # 6 Feed Yourself – 9 Worry – 55 Oxygen – 73 Killing Frogs – 164 20%

164 20%
It takes only 20% of your time to learn 80% of almost anything.
And 80% of your time to learn the last 20%.
An expert = someone who learns the last 20%.
However:
80% of the knowledge /expertise gives you only 20% of the money.
People usually stop there. And call that life.
And somehow think that to earn a lot more, you must do a lot more.
Seems logical.
But it’s not true!
Because almost everyone stops there, society is based on that.
So a little more gives you a lot more. (Tipping Factor)
Become one of the 20% who continue and earn 80% of the money.
20% more ‘calls’ gives you 80% more results.
20% more exercise,
20% less food
20% more sleep
20% … not that much when you think about it.
Same with Family & friends.
Put 20% more into everything you do for 21 days and watch the change in you (and others!)

130 Collecting Solutions
People wish they had less problems.
Yet, you’ve never, ever rid yourself of problems. Not one!
What you do is add solutions.
You still have a ‘problem’ of brushing your teeth, getting dressed, crossing the street, etc.
What you now also have is solutions to each of these problems.
A problem is one-half of an event.
A solution is the other half.
Someone who collects lots of solutions allows themself to be exposed to … anything!
They lead a very eventful life.
The next time you see a problem whether it’s yours or not, try to figure out a solution.
That will place you in a solution mode.
Which is needed these days.

114 Darts
Don’t stand too close or you’ll always place the darts in the bull’s-eye.
And not too far away so you never hit the board.
Stand just far enough away to win, but not all the time…
And lose, but not all the time.
That’s how to play darts properly.
Remind you of your life?
Enough money to pay the bills but not much left over.
And, now and then, an unexpected loss (something breaks or needs servicing, etc.) to absorb any extra money.
When you were young you didn’t know, or didn’t know better.
That explains the past and why you were there, then.
Why are you still there now!
That you were there in the past is no reason to choose to stay there now.
Unless you like playing darts.
Not too close to win all the time.
Nor too far to lose all the time.
But a certain positioning that makes you sometimes a winner but not often enough to get out of where you are, yet not so rarely to propel yourself out because of lack of success.
Keep playing darts from where you are with the results you have, or change positions and win more.
Your choice.
Start with something small and annoying that you want to change anyways, and just do it!

107 Iron
A villager finds a large chunk of Iron.
He asks the Wise man what to do with it.
The Wise man replies, “Well, if you take a couple of days and sell it, you get enough money to live for a week. However, if you take time to make it into Horseshoes, you can live for a year. Or make it into needles and live well the rest of your life.”
What you get is nowhere near as important as what you decide to make of it.
Something is staring you in the face you’re not seeing.
Are you looking for something someone else spent a lot of time making and expect the same results they get from their work?
Time to look for something with the most potential and make those needles!
