Don't worry about things. Don't push. Just do your work and you'll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, and to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow. All you should worry about is whether you're doing it every day and whether you're doing it every day and whether you're having fun with it. If you're not having fun, find the reason. You may be doing something you shouldn't be doing.
The gift is part; it's there, but you have to rehearse it for many years. Doctors don't suddenly become doctors overnight. They have something in there that comes out for some of them but it takes ten or fifteen years of rehearsal. Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers.

Time Management Tools and Techniques
1. Use a time planner. - Enable you to plan and organize your life. Enable you to plan for the year, the month, the week, and for each day. Contains a master list, capture every task, goal, and required action as it comes up. Allocate task to various months, weeks, and days. Contains a calendar to which you transfer items from your master list. Contains a daily list which is the single most important planning tool you can have.
2. Always work from a list. - Feeling overwhelmed? Write down every single thing you have to do for the foreseeable future.
3. Organize your list by priority. - Organize the list items relative to its value in comparison to other things you have to do.
4. Use any time management system you like. - Use it regularly until it becomes a habit, take time to learn and master it until it becomes a habit like breathing in and out.
5. Set up a 45-file system. - This is a tickler file that lets you plan and schedule for the next twenty-four months. Get a box of 45 files with 14 hanging files. Divide the forty-five files into thirty-one files numbered one through thirty-one for the days of the month. There are twelve files for the months of the year, January through December. The last two files are for the next two years.
When you have an appointment or responsibility for six months from now, you simply drop it into that monthy file. At the beginning of each month, you take out all your responsibilities for that month and sort them into your daily files, numbered one through thirty-one. Each day, you take out the file for that day and that becomes the starting point for your daily planning.

Seven Tools for Personal Organization - Time Power - Brian Taylor
1. Prepare the night before. - Prepare your work list for the following day the evening or night before. This exercise lets you sleep more soundly, clears your mind from having to remember what you are going to do the next day.
2. Schedule your time. - The very act of planning and organizing your day, week, and month gives you a greater feeling of control and well being. Increases self-esteem and improves sense of personal power.
3. Get an early start on the day. - The more time you take to sit, think, and plan, the better organized you will be in every area of your life. A few minutes of quiet reflection before you begin any undertaking can save you many hours executing the task.
4. Use an organized filing system. - The best and simplest of all filing systems is an alphabetical system. You should have a master list that gives you the title of each file and tells you where the file is located. A Rolodex is a fine tool for this purpose, available at stationery stores.
5. Do important work during prime time. - Do your creative work during your prime time when you are most alert and productive.
6. Use a dictating machine or tape recorder for correspondence and notes. - First write an outline of what you are going to dictate. Jot down major headings and subheadings before you begin. Think through the sentence structure in your mind before you begin dictating onto tape. Don't be afraid to go back, erase, and do it over again using a better choice of words. Second, don't try to be a perfectionist. Third, concentrate on getting your thoughts dictated as quickly as possible, and then go back and clean it up before you finalize it. In no time at all, you will be dictating perfectly correct letters and reports that need no correction or editing at all.
7. Make air travel productive. - If you plan ahead and organize your work before you leave for the airport, you can accomplish an enormous amount while you are in the air.

Time Power - Twelve Proven Principles for Peak Perfomance - Brian Taylor
Principle 1. Time management enables you to increase the value of your contribution. - Good self esteem comes from the knowledge that you are putting more into your life and work than you are taking out, that you are contributing more to your work than you are taking out.
Principle 2. Your rewards, both tangible and intangible, will always be equal to the value of your services to other people. - The more you put in, the more you get out. Through the Law of Sowing and Reaping, time management allows you to sow more and better, and therefore to reap more and better in every area of your life.
Principle 3. Good time management requires you see yourself as a factory. - Inputs, activities, outputs. Top performers focus on outputs, average performers focus on inputs, medium or low performers focus on activities.
Principle 4. Everything you accomplish, or fail to accomplish, depends on your ability to use your time to its best advantage.
Principle 5. Time is the scarcest resource of accomplishmnet.
Principle 6. The practice of time management skills allows you to develop judgment, foresight, self-reliance, and self-discipline.
Principle 7. A focus on time management forces you to be intensely results-oriented.
Principle 8. Time management enables you to work smarter, not just harder.
Principle 9. Good time management is a source of energy, enthusiasm, and a positive mental attitude. - As you see yourself accomplishing large quantities or work, you actually experience a continuous inflow of additional energy that enables you to accomplish even more.
Principle 10. You grow as a person in direct proportion to the demands that you place on yourself. - The self-discipline of time management builds character, confidence, and an unshakable belief in yourself and your abilities.
Principle 11. Lasting motivation only comes from a feeling of achievement and accomplishment. - The more you get done, the better you feel about yourself, and the more eager you become to do even more.
Principle 12. Now, this minute, is all the time you have. - If you manage yourself minute by minute, the hours and days will take care of themselves. The more tightly you manage your time, the more you are guaranteed that it will translate into a great life that's hallmarked by purpose, power, control, and worthwhile accomplishment.

Jungle of Life - Napoleon Hill
As revealed to Napoleon Hill by the Master:
"You have earned the right to reveal a Supreme Secret to others. In the journey through life there is a Jungle of Life, a Black Forest through which every individual must pass alone. In the Black Forest he overcomes enemies and his own inner opposition and turmoil. The Black Forest helps to give refinement to the soul of man through sturggle and resistance, so that the soul may return to the Great Eternal Reservoir from whence it emerged and become a part of Infinite Intelligence.
"And now I shall name the enemies who must be met and conquered in the journey.
The foremost is FEAR. The expression of fear denies man the use of his true power of thought - a power which can enable each individual to acquire all of his physical needs and control his earthly destiny.
The next great enemy is GREED for the possession of material things and for power to control others for selfish ends. No person who is filled with greed and avarice can pass through the Jungle of Life and successfully attain and use the Supreme Secret, for he affronts the Creator when he violates the rights of others.
INTOLERANCE is third on the list of enemies. Intolerance is the evil partner of selfishness and ignorance. It closes the mind and shuts out facts. It deprives a person of valuable friendships he will need in his journey through life and repels the co-operation of others.
EGOTISM is the fourth great enemy of man. Self-repect is a most desirable quality, but self-love is self-deceit and causes a man to lose respect for others.
LUST is the fifth enemy. It prevents sex emotion from bewing properly transmuted and properly directed. It leaads to excessive sexual expressions which dissipate the vital creative forces of mind and body.
ANGER, the sixth enemy, is a form of temporary insanity. Righteous indignation that is controlled and directed toward the correction of a cause is occasionally necessary, but those who live with rage cannot truly know the Supreme Secret.
HATRED, the seventh enemy, is anger which has been allowed to dwell in the mind until it has hardened like so much cement. It is a mind-posion which erroneously twists the individual's thinking. One who harbors hate cannot control and direct his power of thought toward constructive ends and thus he is denied this one and only outright prerogative with which man has been blessed by the Creator.
The enemy of JEALOUSLY, that mixture of covetousness and fear.
IMPATIENCE, which prevents cause from bearing its fruit in effect.
DECEIT, which in the end deceives the deceiver.
FALSEHOOD, which weaves a noose with which the liar spiritually hangs himself.
The related enemy of INSINCERITY and VANITY, which makes men vulgar and forms a repulsive force.
CRUELTY, which attracts all the other enemies like a pack of wolves.
MERCILESSNESS, which turns its back on those in need and makes the soul shrivel.
INJUSTICE, SLANDER, and GOSSIP; one may know the Supreme Secret in words but can never use it if he ever attempts to destroy others.
The Black Forest closes in for a lifetime upon those who do not vanquish the enemies of UNDEPENDABILITY, DISHONESTY, DISLOYALTY and REVENGE.
"Four more enemies fully as important in their menace as any of the others; WORRY, which reveals that a man is no bigger than that which he allows to worry him; ENVY, a form of jealousy which most particularly destoys initiative and self-discipline; HYPOCHONDRIA, which prevents the mind from conceiving the continued good health of its bodily temple and so gives ill health its first foothold, which often is in the mind; and INDECISION, which grows stonger the more it is indulged until it rides one's back and one can fall and lie lost in the Black Forest.
"There are other enemies of man, but who conquers these twenty-six will conquer all the others. Know that one who seeks earnestly to conquer these twenty-six lurking enemies becames an Initiate of the Great School. We know him and he has access to the mind of a Master. The means of communication is telepathy. The Initiate may at times convey his need for instuction through what is commonly known as prayer.

Setting Goals with Peak Potentials
My notes from the "Setting Goals with Peak Potentials" webinar.
The psychology of Achievement, Brian Tracy
"Goal Setting and Achieving"
"Specific Process of selling"
If you want to be successful, write down your goals - literally life transforming. Why is that? Gotta set goals/plan. Why is so important. Goals versus fantasies.
If you don't have a road map, you're lost.
Only 3% of people write goals, written. The other 97% think they have goals. Having goals lead to focus, now more than ever because of the internet social media are more and more distracted. Goals keep you on track, create greater energy. Barage of e-mail - text messages de;letes energy. Kind of energy people show up with.
If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Clear goals lead to a sense of clear focus, working toward them step by step.
Our conditioned mind's favorite pastime is to be right. Thus achieving goals is the means to prove yourself right. Success breads success.
Techniques for Goal Achievement.
Goals enable you to take control versus success being a matter of luck.
Harmonize the Law of Accident versus with the Law of the Universe.
Write down 10 goals, select one to focus on.
Write down 101 goals in a spiral notebook. Example of a man who wrote down 101 goals and achieved them in 10 years.
Feeling listless, make a list.
Many people don't get what they want because they don't know what they want. Be clear about your goals by writting them down. 3% write goals and make the money and ...
If you don't have goals, you will be like a dog chasing back and forth and be tried at the end of the day.
Clarity of intentions, focus single minded on one thing at a time. Work on them one at a time. Goals/clarity enable focusing on one thing at a time and achieving thus making more energy.
- Set your goals, write them down and have a written plan that you are working on.
- Be nice to people
- Take care of yourself
- Learn anything you need to learn to achieve and accomplish your goals
People fail because of the fear of failure
Need to open yourself to fear and rejection in order to succeed
Need really clear goals
Example - If he quit after 5,000 rejections would have never succeeded.
The more you fail, the more you succeed.
The faster you fail, the faster you succeed.
Replace failure with feedback
No time to wait for later, until you remove the barrier of failure then you are toggling back and forth.
