  1. Leave The Other Things Behind — Whatever you need to do at home, whatever you need to fix in your life, if now is not the time in which you can fix it then do not worry about it now.
    Leave those things behind and focus on where you are. Deal with them when the time comes and only then.
  2. Make a Plan — So much time every day is lost because you do not have control over your time. The average person works less than 3 hours out of the 8 hour workday (Source: In an 8-Hour Day, the Average Worker Is Productive for This Many Hours).
    Follow a schedule, make that schedule fun, and take control of your time; it is the limiting resource of your life.
  3. Challenge Yourself — Too few people really push their limits. They do what is necessary, fall short of that, and often stop there saying “It’s good enough”.
    If you live by that philosophy you will also always fall short of your dreams and goals and have to settle for what you get with “It’s good enough”…
    The problem is, that it will not be good enough and you know it. So take the extra step and fight a little harder!
  4. Surround Yourself with Winning Attitudes — Listen to people that want to reach higher, spend time with those, read what they wrote and consume as much time as possible with them or the things created by them.
    You are the average of the people you spend the most time…
