Your Internal Power to Succeed

Inside each of us lays unreached potential.  There is a maximum threshold in any particular endeavor to which we can achieve.  Call it 100%.  It’s the absolute most we can attain in any given category of business or life.

Most people never come close to reaching it.  It’s not because of their ability or circumstances or opportunities – all of those things are factored into the potential percentage.  In other words, there is a 100% possible based on all external factors.

If it’s not because of these outward things that people come short of their potential, what is it?  It’s because of the INWARD things.

It’s because of their mindset.  Their mental game.  Their thought process.

How to Free Up Time On Your Schedule

When you look at your schedule, what do you see?  Most people see too much stuff to do!  Best case scenario, they see a manageable to-do list.

When I look at my schedule, I see opportunities to free up time.  Seriously, that’s what I see because that’s what I search for.  Every single day.

When I print out my schedule, one of the first things I do is start tweaking it.  I try to identify things I can do in order to create gaps where there is uncommitted time.  When I create enough of these gaps, I have much more of my day to use on things that are more important to me than work.

That should be a daily goal of yours.  To create uncommitted time.  Time that you can use for whatever you want.  I’m not talking about being lazy or taking unhealthy shortcuts that lead to poor quality results.  I’m talking about being strategic so you can F.R.E.E. up time…

F – FINISH a project.
R – REEXAMINE the essential.
E – EVALUATE your schedule.
E – EXTEND your activities.
