If You Can't Get By These Three...Then Don't Bother Asking!


I have a very simplistic view of what I want out of life.

Everything decision that I make in my life now passes through three main criteria...

1) Does it compromise either my time our my relationship with Lesley and Katie?

Simple, really.

For example...I'll spend a week in the States going to (or speaking at) a seminar...but no more.

I've worked away for weeks on end before...just coming home for weekends...and the strain it put on my relationship with the people that matter is too much.

So...everything that I aim to do in life musn't compromise this very important one!

2) Does it excite me so much that I can see myself doing it for as long as I want to?

I know for a fact that I could be earning more money than I currently if I leveraged my talent in areas other than personal development.

I KNOW that for a fact.

But...because it doesn't 'float my boat' like this stuff does...I just do it occasionally...and use it as a process to push myself out of my comfort zone (and to get out more! lol).

There's no point for me to spend most of time on stuff that I'm not totally, 100%, need-to-finish-this-chapter-before-I-go-to-sleep passionate about!

I LOVE writing to YOU about THIS stuff...so THIS is what I'm ALWAYS going to do more of than anything else. Period.

And finally...

3) Does it allow me to choose when and how I want to work?

As I've mentioned before...I won't be doing my Truth About Success Mentor Program in its original format EVER again!

Why?

Well...doing it forced me to sit in front of my computer for around 20 hours a week for five weeks - that's why!

People are surprised when I tell them that, despite not earning a bad 'return' for just over 100 hours of effort (plus the time it took to write the thing!)...I refuse to put myself into that sort of time 'strait-jacket' ever again.

I'll be honest with you...I could earn a reasonable living by delivering my Program every week of every year...(and help people have amazing results in their lives, by the way)...but, what's the point of not looking forward to being EXCITED about choosing to do what I want to do WHEN I want to do it?

So...if an idea or a project gets through these three THEN (and only then) do I look to see if I will get paid (either monetarily or through growth) enough to justify my time.

Remember...as Jim Rohn says:

"Time is more valuable than money.
You can always get more money, but you can never get more time."

I value mine so much these days...that I am fully prepared to make what may seem to others as absurd monetary decisions in order to make sure that I get the most from what time I have available to EXPERIENCE what life is really like.

So...what about YOU...what criteria do YOU use before you take ANY new 'project' or job on?

(If you don't have any aside from a monetary one...then I suggest that you start thinking more creatively!)
