I have in front of


I have in front of me a list of fourteen things that I need to do...urgently!

And...I'm sure that I could add a few more as well!

But...whilst it would be easy to be overwhelmed and get depressed about it - I take it as a GOOD sign!

Why?

Well...if I didn't have a list of things that I need to do - then I wouldn't be busy would I? And...it would be a sure sign that my business would be on its 'last legs'.

Sure - I have a lot of work that I need to do, without, it seems, enough time to do it all in. But...I know that, if I look upon it as a positive thing then I will be more than likely to follow through on it.

Isn't it easy to procrastinate when you don't have a vested interest in something?

But I don't own a business like you, you might say.

Well, it's the same with your career. YOU are the CEO of the business called 'YOU'. It's up to you whether you look at working for someone else as a chore or as a long-term consultancy contract.

Whether you are paid weekly, monthly, or daily - you can easily work out how much you are paid by the hour by the company you work for.

Ask yourself...are you giving THEM value for money in return for the 'contract' they have with you?

The only way you can move upwards (and perhaps even onwards) is to provide more service than you are currently paid for.

This isn't some made-up rule I've just thought of - it's one of those unwritten 'Laws' of success.

Don't believe me? Try and find ANY famous successful person...and see if they don't (or haven't) put a lot of effort in (and taken a lot of calculated risks) to get where they are today.
