Time Management Tips

• Measure the $ worth of your time

$x = how much you want to make in one year

y = hours you want to work a week

$ worth of your time = x/52 weeks per year/y hours per week

 

e.g. For $1 million / year => If you want to make $1 million per year, your time is worth $480 per hour for a 40 hour week

e.g. For $100k / year =>     If you make $100k per year, your time is worth $48 per hour for a 40 hour week

e.g. For $1 million / year => If you want to make$1 million per year, your time is worth $960 per hour for a 20 hour week

• What does this tell you?
• Look at your schedule for this week: Is what you are doing generating how much you want to make in each hour?
• How does that make you feel?
• What actions can you take to resolve and make yourself more effective with your time?

• Do this Exercise in the order described:
• If you knew that you were not going to live past the next hour, what actions would you take now?
• If you knew that you were not going to live past the next day, what actions would you take now?
• If you knew that you were not going to live past the next week, what actions would you take now?
• If you knew that you were not going to live past the next month, what actions would you take now?
• If you knew that you were not going to live past the next year, what actions would you take now?
• Based on what you learned? What will you do right NOW?
• What will you schedule for the rest of today and the rest of this week?
• What will you schedule for the rest of the month and the rest of the year?

Inspirational/Motivational Topics

• BHAGs - Big Hairy Audacious Goals

• Creating BHAGs (pronounced Bee-Hags) : Big Hairy Audacious Goals: A term coined by Jerry Porras and James Collins in the book "Built to Last"

• Effective BHAGs: Not Fantasy Based: There are BHAGs that are set in fantasy or little relationship to reality (some people call this bravado) and there are BHAGs that are Set with Reality and  Accountability.                     
• We call the latter: Effective BHAGs.

 

• Why take on an Effective BHAG?

 

• Effective BHAGs are not designed to be overnight sensations. They are designed with Attention to Vision, Strategy, Planning, Accountability and Details (i.e. numbers and events).  If followed clearly, they can lead to highly desirable results e.g. retirement, passive income > expenses, breakthrough sales, high nett worth, etc. within five to 10 years.  It is possible to attain results faster than that: but it would require an exponential degree of integrity, discipline and accountability.
• Effective BHAGs are designed to Stretch You or Your Organization to Develop New Capacities and Greater Results while maintaining the necessary discipline and accountability.

e.g. Taking on Larger personal Wealth goals 

e.g. A Company taking on Larger Sales Goals

• Effective BHAGs are designed to get you or your organization Out of the "Rut". 

• In the "rut": In our coaching and training experience, we have seen people and companies Get Stuck Inside of Paradigms that involve Small Goals (not necessarily easier to manage): e.g. cutting down expenses, lack of focus on larger business opportunities that could be easier and more lucrative in the longer run.  We have seen a focus on the short term rather than on the longer term growth and sustainability of the company.  This results in what we term as a "Downward Spiral" of Energy, Commitment and Results, i.e., the Energy and Results Shrink or stagnate over the years.

 

 

• For you Personally:

Creating Business Lines of Credit

• We recommend using the three independent services (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) rather than their 'combo - 3 in one services'; You will get more accurate information that way.  This may be more expensive, but will probably save if not produce more money in the long run.   If your score is below 720, begin a letter writing campaign to get your score up. 
• In our coaching programs, we help people get their scores up with our own letters that we have used succesfully.  Once you have a score over 720, you can start getting business loans and lines of credit that are not in your personal name, that you can use to leverage into other investments. If used wisely and appropriately, this strategy can create wealth in a very powerful and accelerated fashion.
