Attracting Prosperity and Abundance,
Part 7
When we
talked about habits in one of my earlier blogs, one aspect is ‘paying
yourself first’. I got this from the ‘Richest Man in Babylon’. It
talked about paying yourself first financially. It is important that you put
away a certain percentage of earned money to use to acquire new assets, and
invest in the business.
But take it
a step farther, every day you have 24 hours. Use the same principle, and pay
yourself 1st in time. Pay yourself 10% of your time to fill your bucket. I
don’t take appointments before 1:00 pm. I am up until 3 – 4 am, and get up at
10 or 11 am. I do my yoga, my meditation, and share a meal. I take those 2
hours to fill my bucket, to do what I need to do. So, find that time. If you
have a 2-hour block, great. If not, then take it in chunks. If you still have
kids and they are running around, go in a room and put a sign out, “This is
‘me’ time.”
This all
ties into recognizing that you are worthy enough to care for yourself. It
demonstrates that you are interested in your self-awareness and self-being,
like yoga practices and meditation.
That is the
importance of goals. And, there are no unreasonable goals, only unrealistic
deadlines or no plans. You can dream whatever you want, and chunk it down. If
your goal is to have a $1,000,000 or a $1,000,000 business, what do you have to
do? What do you have to do to get $500,000, $250,000, that first $100,000? Then
chunk it down. Most of us have never done any goal setting.
Another
reason why goals are so important is a written goal is going to be 10 – 100
percent more effective. There is just something that happens when we write it
on paper when it goes from our hands to our brain. It gets locked in. I have
notes that I took in 1995 I have never looked at, but I can recite them. So,
write them down.
The power of
written goals: this is an old study where they interviewed all the Harvard
graduates. 84% had no goals at all. 13% had goals but they were not defined or
committed to paper. Only 3% have written goals and had plans to accomplish
them. What do you think happened? That 3% accumulated more wealth than the
other 97% combined.
