Working the Highest Payback Items Now
Posted in “The reason most major goals are not achieved is
that we spend our time doing second things first.”
Robert J. McKain
Here we are, just three weeks into a new year and
already most people have left their goals behind.
Already most people are continuing the bad habit
of spending time on second level items instead of
the most important things they should be doing.
How about you?
How are you doing?
“All true leaders have learned to say no to the good
in order to say yes to the best.”
Jim Deven. The Leaders Within
Are you focused on what you really want in the this
new year?
Are you saying no to the good in order to say yes
to the best.
Focus means learning to say “NO” to distractions.
Robert Schuller
Are you saying no to all those distractions? All
those things that are trying to take you off your
path to the goals you want to achieve this year.
“Put 80 % of your time into your top 2-3 main goals.”
John Maxwell
Are you focused on 2-3 things?
That is, as John Maxwell says, where you need to
put your effort.
As Martyred Missionary Jim Elliott says,
“Wherever you are, be all there.”
As Dr. Alan Zimmerman says, “When you are
working, focus on the most important task on
your desk. All other things will get their time,
but not now.”
Is this really going to be the year you achieve
those goals you wanted on December 31?
Is this going to be the year you do it?
Do you really believe it, or is it just a pipe dream?
Are you focused or are you distracted.
“If you want to defeat them, distract them.”
Jesus CEO
“Whatever the thing may be which he is doing he
let’s himself think of nothing else until it is done.”
Russell Conwell
You started this year with a dream, a goal, a
desire which you really wanted. You felt
this would be the year you could do it. Now,
only 3 weeks into the year, you have to be as
strong in that belief as you were when you
started. You have to have the passion to know
you are going to make it. Each and every week
I want you to believe it and go for it. This is the
year you do it.
Stay focused on what you want.
Those that stay focused are those that make
it happen.
You can be part of that group.
No one can do it all.
You cannot do everything.
So you need to focus and drive toward what you
really want.
You knew what it was at the start, don’t lose
focus now.
Remember, “No man can serve two masters
for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or else he will hold the one and despise the other.”
Matthew 6:24
I want you at the end to have made it.
If you focus on it all year long.
If it drives you all year long.
If you do not get distracted and pulled away.
You can do it.
Now go for it.
