At the end of the day, we are in business to make money, to create wealth and to be able to contribute to society.
One of the things I learnt was: to systemize everything. Every single task. So I started applying it to my life.
For the first few weeks, even months the job was tedious and I couldn't see any results. But I kept on doing it.
I also got myself a mentor. You need to have a mentor to keep you accountable for your actions. To keep pushing you on your journey and to inspire you. There is no point in having a mentor who is on the same level as you are. You need mentor or mentors who are higher on their journey than you are. You need to look up to them, to be inspired by them, to take in their wise words and grow.
Two years ago, I made a decision that I would do whatever it takes to grow and inspire people to achieve their potential.
I decided to invest in myself to learn what millionaires know and follow their footsteps.
As the saying goes: "You are an average of the five people you spend the most time with.", I shifted people I started spending most time with. I started reading more self-development books, listening to self-development audios, podcasts, anything that speeds up my journey.
I started prioritizing tasks to be completed in a day by categories:
- urgent and important
- urgent but not important
- not urgent but important
- not urgent and not important
It is surprising how quickly my "to do" list shrank. I stopped wasting precious time on meaningless tasks.
