Are you using your time and power to their full effects? Most people do not. The choices we make have enormous impact on our success, and the key is to learn how to use time and power in the most productive ways.
When comparing highly successful people to almost-successful people there are some basic differences that stand out:
- Almost-successful people tend to hold back a little from fear. They avoid risk, play it safe and give up their potential power. Highly successful people, while not reckless, use their power more aggressively. They embrace change and take charge. They take measured risks and go for it.
- Almost-successful people often become frozen by their indecisiveness and keep themselves in limbo. This means essentially they avoid action because they often believe they have to take giant steps to accomplish their goals. Highly successful people usually take reasonable steps on a daily basis to accomplish their goals. They take action, but it does not result in instantaneous and massive change. Instead, they are ongoing and digestible levels of change.
- Almost-successful people often make excuses like it takes money to make money and I don’t have money. This stops them from taking initiative and using their positive qualities such as creativity and determination. Highly successful people see things like lack of money, etc., as obstacles to be overcome. They make business plans. They start where they are instead of wishing they were someplace else.
