Each day, we are all given the same amount of time.
No matter who we are, we all have 24 hours in a day.
I think we have all said at one point in our lives, “It seems that I don’t have enough time in the day to do the things that I need to do.”
This is why it is absolutely imperative that you take inventory of your day. My question for you is….
Are you spending your time or are you investing your time?
There is a big difference between spending time and investing time. Spending actually means that you are using something up without getting a return. When you invest in something, you have an expectation of getting a good return on your investment.
Investing your time means that you are engaging in activities that are going to bring you rewards. I call them MMA’s (Money Making Activities)
Most of the time, when you hear the word ‘invest’, you think of money. It is just as important to start thinking of investing, when it comes to your TIME as well.
While you are taking inventory of your days, write out how much of your time is just being spent without getting any reward from it. You will be stunned by how much time is being wasted.
How much time in your day is being wasted watching meaningless television or being on social media? Ask yourself if you are really getting anything out of doing that.
The truth is, this applies to many categories. So many people waste time when it comes to spending time doing things with no rewards. Are you just spending time in a relationship or are you investing in that relationship?
Are you spending time talking to negative people and gossiping, or are you investing your time with people that are going to help you grow?
Are you spending time sleeping too much or are you investing in your body to create better health?
I could go on and on. I know you get the picture.
After you have taken inventory, you will be very pleased to know that you have a lot of time now to invest in making a better life for yourself. It all starts with setting some goals. Once you have put your short and long-term goals together, write out a plan on what it’s going to take to achieve these goals. Once you have the goal and the plan, it is now time to invest every second of your life to achieve your dreams.
It’s all going to begin with how you spend your mornings. When you win in the mornings, you win the day. It’s time to begin your day with investments. Rise early. Have a gratitude journal. Start each day with good exercise. Have some good quiet time focusing on positive thoughts. Make that commitment to invest your time wisely.
When it comes to business, it’s important to understand that time is your capital. You must make every second count. Make sure you are investing your time wisely and make sure you are investing your time with the right people. You have a choice! You can either choose to be just plain busy wasting time or you can choose to invest your time wisely, and be productive.
Starting today, adopt the philosophy that life is an investment. You must figure out how to invest your time. Do not just spend time and waste it with no rewards. Invest your time wisely and make your dreams come true.
Happy Selling,
