DON'T LOOK AT THE CLOCK. DO WHAT IT DOES

In a recent time, we have been having so many millionaires emerged, and people also making the Forbes list as the top richest man in the world. Each of these rich men came into this world empty; their wealth is made here on earth. 

So why do we have poor people? I think the difference between the “RICH” and the “POOR” is attributed to how well they have been able to maximize the time at their disposal. If being born into a wealthy family is the prerequisite for success, people like Bill Gate would be one of the most wretched people on earth.

Everybody share the same 24hrs, some are committed to the full maximization of their time, making sure they acquire all the necessary tips and information they would need to be successful in life, while others are so engrossed in what constantly distract them from taking full maximization of their supposed productive time.

An adage says, “Tell me a man who plays with his time, and I will show you a man who lives in abject poverty” Oniyide Seun. Another wise saying says, “Time is money” each time I ponder on these words, I try to figure out what they really mean, then I realized that the money everybody yearns for, has been to the time at our disposal. So TIME is not to be used, but TIME should be invested. Even wisely.

How you spend your time is what you become. Do you know when you sleep for 8 hours daily, by the time you are 60 years old you would have slept for 20 years out of your life.? Don't quote me wrong, sleep is good for the body, but what you do with the 16 hours left to cover for the time spent in sleeping is very important.  Let’s do a quick mathematics calculation for a better understanding of what I am trying to say above. 

24hrs makes a day, and 8 hours is one third of a day. Therefore, one third of 60 years equals 20 years. Therefore, 8/24 =1/3 then, 1/3 x 60 = 20. 60 – 20 = 40.

With the illustration above, you can as well agree with me that, time is no man’s friend and it will only favour those who understand its importance.

TIPS ON HOW TO MANAGE YOUR TIME EFFECTIVELY.

You must learn to manage your time effectively if you dare to be successful in life. Make every minutes of your time counts. In your free time, you can always look for a book on business to read on how to manage business successfully. Anytime wasted can never be regain, you must be cautious of not letting any distraction steal your time away from you. Your TV, Cable Channels and some friends can be a time killer. 

NO ONE CAN MANAGE YOUR TIME.

You are responsible for how you have decided to spend your time. Do you spend your time watching and talking about people who have made use of their own time to become successful? Are you one of those people who watch things happen positively around them? Are you one of those who spend so much time arguing about A or B is the richest? Why don’t you save your energy and use your time to study what is responsible for the wealth of those you argued about and see how you can be like them or even better.

SHOW RESPECT FOR TIME

Fortunes come to those who respect their time. Time is no respecter of man and it doesn’t wait for anyone. When you invest your time wisely by using it to acquire knowledge and work hard, there is no way fortune will not find its way to your door.

PLAN YOUR DAY IN ADVANCE.

You must plan your activities for the day in advance. Prepare a "TO DO LIST" and write a plan on how you intend to implement or achieve the task you have written down in your to do list. 

Try this few steps above and see how things gradually disappear from your to do list.

 In conclusion, I leave you with this quote as a watch word. “Don’t look at the clock. Do what it does. Keep moving.”

Those impediments can be easily overcome and you can always get back on track if you keep a positive outlook to everything.

You will have a brilliant and happy day. However, you shouldn’t be gullible and allow people to manipulate you because of your friendliness. •   Mix with Other Positive People and Avoid Those who Have Negative Attitudes: Attitudes rub on to others very quickly. If you spend more of your time with positive people you will automatically find yourself developing a more optimistic attitude. However, negative attitudes can also be very infectious. There is a popular saying which goes, “Misery loves company”. When you are always in the company of people who perpetually complain, you will automatically find yourself beginning to do the same. Insignificant factors that would normally not bother you will suddenly seem to spoil your entire day. You will feel like you have lost all your energy. The moment you lose enthusiasm and incentive, it can prove very difficult to get back on track. These factors can take a negative toll on your business. You will not get anything constructive done this way. •   Be Organized and Practice Time Management: When you are systematic you will work faster and be able to complete more tasks. You will know exactly what you need to do achieve your target each day. You will do constructive work if you stay within a system instead wasting time searching for phone numbers or email addresses that you have misplaced. •   Be Proactive: The moment you are aware of an oncoming obstacle in your work, solve it instead of leaving it till the last instant. Be practical and have a solution ready before the problem can get out of hand. By being ahead of possible impediments, you will permanently be able to avoid setbacks. •   Consider Hiring a Coach: Many individuals hire tutors nowadays to attain success in business. These tutors of guides will assist you in deciding exactly what you require your business to yield. They will set attainable targets and will also demand justifications for actions. Therefore, the right and positive attitude is the most important ingredient for a successful business. Practice it as well as follow it daily. You’ll soon see you have become much more successful than you ever conceived of. By Brian Tracy...

YOU NEED TO RE-EVALUATE

I welcome you to another new week; apparently it’s the second to the last Monday in the month of July, and in a twinkle of an eye, you will be going into the 3^rd quarter of this year. This is the time you really need to re-evaluate and cross examine if some of your resolution this year has been achieved.

The days remaining in the year is sufficient enough to actualize the goals you have set for yourself, either in your career, business, education, marriage et al.

Some of my goals set for this year have been fully achieved, and some are yet to be. However, I am not given up on them. In short, throwing in the towel is not an option for me at this stage as I can’t afford to let this year goes away without achieving some of these goals.

Therefore, I urge you to re-evaluate your goals for this year, track it and see how far you have gone. Some goals are so complex and can’t be achieved for the little time left in this year, replace them with a short term goals and plan strategically on how you can achieve those goals you altered.
