Last week I was speaking with several new representatives that have just come into our industry and we were discussing how to become more productive on a consistent basis. I begin to express the importance of investing your time properly. The truth is most people spend much of their day majoring in minor things.
The bottom line is, they simply waste a big majority of their time on things that are not important.
The successful people in life get 24 hours a day. The same holds true for people that are unsuccessful. They also get 24 hours a day.
The difference is how they spend those 24 hours.
This is why it’s important to take inventory of your daily activities. You will be amazed how much time is wasted on minor things.
I believe the goal should be for everyone to live a healthy and happy life. I have found that there are three types of people;
– those who make things happen,
– those who watch things happen
– those who simply just do not care.
To achieve in life, you have to make yourself valuable. It’s important to stop wasting time.
In life, there are matters that are of great importance and then there are others that are simply not.
It is the important things that are the majors in life that are going to require your attention and your efforts. The minor things are just distractions. These are the things that get in the way of your success. The key is to let go of the minors and begin focusing on what your priorities are.
When it comes to achieving success, you must have a clear goal and a vision. It’s important to set a success plan and be 100% focused on achieving your goals and your dreams. Successful people look at the big picture along with the vision and the strategy of getting to their goals. It’s important to understand that on the road to success, challenges and obstacles will definitely come. You cannot allow that to bog you down. I’ve seen far too many people do this and it stops them dead in their tracks. This is called majoring in the minor things. I’m not saying they are not important. However, when challenges do come, take a deep breath and analyze the situation. Find the right people that will help you accomplish what is needed to overcome this. You have a big vision and you must keep moving towards that dream. By doing this, it will free you up to focus on what truly matters in the long run. Far too many people also major in minor things spending too much time preparing. I’ve seen way too many people spending weeks making sure they have the best business cards, flyers and marketing materials. All these are important but what’s more important is getting out there and making it happen. It’s all about priorities. The question is “ Are you busy or are you productive?“
It’s time to make a commitment to separate the majors and minors. Many people are not successful simply because they are majoring in minor things.
Starting today, identify what is important and what your priorities are. Once you’ve determined them, you can be confident in what is the correct plan of action. Success takes personal discipline, action and consistency.
Focus on building your strengths and work on improving your weaknesses. Do not waste time anymore on unproductive activities. Learn to make every second count and make a commitment to eliminate the things in your life that are just distractions.
It is time to make your success a priority and it’s time to do the things on a consistent basis that are going to help you achieve your dreams. Repeat after me, “I no longer have a major in minor things.“
Your future looks amazing. Make every second count and start focusing on what’s important. You can do this!
