This Week’s BigReia.com Tip:

The Single BEST Lesson I Learned From:
“The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”

(and how to use this secret to create 30k/month passive income)

You can download the above FULL guide for FREE HERE.

I was assigned to read this book (I had to, didn’t want to) but despite my thick-headedness I
picked up at least ONE great things…
– Over 40 million copies sold
– Time magazine nmed Stephen Covey among most influential people alive
– The audio book version became the first non-fiction audio book to sell 1 million copies

See if you can guess what today’s lesson is about…

“We are all migrants through time.”
– Mohsin Hamid

“Time isn’t the main thing. It’s the only thing”
– Miles Davis

“It is really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.”
– Steve Jobs

“Time is really the only capital that any human has, and the only thing he can’t afford to lose.”
– Albert Einstein

(now for the REAL heavy hitter)

“The most important question that you will ever ask yourself is how will I spend my time today?”
– Azam Meo

Today’s Lesson is About TIME

Different Names For This
Covey’s Time Management Matrix
Eisenhower Decision Matrix
Urgent and Important Grid

It is a 2×2 grid with columns labeled “Urgent/Not Urgent” and rows label “Important/Not Important”.

Most people spend time in LC Zone, the bottom right of not important and not urgent activity.

So where should you spend your time?

The Smart People Spend in the IMPORTANT and URGENT zone right?  

WRONG To get ahead you MUST spend time in the Important and NOT Urgent Zone.

Why Focus On The NOT Urgent?
The urgent is always getting attention… it is urgent after all
The screaming baby gets fed, the squeaky wheel gets oiled, the FIRE gets put out
That is the problem, you will just be putting out fires all day with little to no progress

How Do You Know You Are Focused on the RIGHT Things?
The Asymmetricals (remember then Asymmetrical Apple)
Stuff nobody is talking about at ALL, you set the tone, direction and focus
Nobody would notice if you did NOT do it but they’ll immediately notice process/results later

Too many goals is just as dangerous as no goal.

Winners and losers have the same goals.
They wish for the same things.

Your business will never rise to your wish list…
It will always fall to your checklist.

The goal is to makes sure when you “fall” to your checklist
You are still higher than anybody else.
Focus on your checklist.
A business is nothing more than a checklist,
the business with the better checklist will always win.

Focus and simplicity – once you get there, you can move mountains.
– Steve Jobs

The secret to focus?
Asking the right questions.

How many of these are youdoing right now?

10 Question Test:
Do we have a list of Doublers?
How can we get better testimonials?
How can we use our weekly emails better?
What would a list of dream JV partners look like?
What would be the best way to triple our referrals?
How can we improve the way we answer/return calls?
What are three free lead generation methods we can test?
Can everybody list five things to do right after a call to follow up?
What other businesses could/should we buy, acquire or merge with?
What package can we send in the mail after appointments/calls for improvements?

The BEST way to start?
Small… very, very small.
“Tiny is mighty. At least when it comes to change. Over the last twenty years, I’ve found that most
everyone wants to make some kind of change: eat healthier, lose weight, exercise more, reduce stress,
get better sleep. We want to be better parents and partners. We want to be more productive and
creative.

But the alarming levels of obesity, sleeplessness, and stress reported by the media—and seen in my
Stanford lab’s research—tell me there is a painful gap between what people want and what they
actually do. The disconnect between want and do has been blamed on a lot of things—but people
blame it on themselves for the most part… creating positive change isn’t as hard as you think….
If there’s one concept from my book I hope you embrace, it’s this: People change best by feeling good,
not by feeling bad…

The essence of Tiny Habits is this: Take a behavior you want, make it tiny, find where it fits naturally in
your life, and nurture its growth. If you want to create long-term change, it’s best to start small.”

From Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg
Founder of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University
