Time for a Change
A recent survey of financial habits in the UK concluded that we currently spend more of our money each week on travel than on food. This for the first time in statistical history, and at a time when many people are under-exercised, and when obesity is at unprecedented levels.
Some would conclude that we should at least go back to walking to the shops! The reason we don’t? Time. And yet, if we really do value that most precious resource, why is so much of it “spent” rather than “invested”. Those who have seen me speak on this, and long-time readers of my Business Dynamite newsletter, will immediately see what I am getting at here.
The reality is that whilst many people don’t think they have the Time to make the Changes they need to make in their life, they do.
Those who undertook the Olympic Challenge during the last month have learned that although it is tough to fit in six new habits in the available time in an already busy schedule, once you prioritise and focus, it is more than possible. In fact, never did “lack of time” become an issue for the participants; it was other barriers that had to be overcome. Once the decision had been made to make changes, and it was easy to fit into the schedule. It’s a question of making that decision to change.
In every case a breakthrough was achieved, and many reported their best ever month in terms of balance, focus, pro-active business development, and business results.
Some have even said they are going to continue for another month with a new set of habits to develop. In all cases, the true victory was in the day-to-day highlights generated with both small successes and large breakthroughs being shared.
