Here are 9 easy steps that can be implemented immediately to help you get more done for

your business in less time.

#1 GET AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER

• Find someone (maybe a spouse or friend) who understands

your goals and wants you to succeed.

• Tell them your deadlines, dreams, and goals so they may

keep you accountable.

• Sometimes just having someone else there will keep you

focused.

#2 ACER- ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE END RESULT

• If you’re starting ANYTHING new, you need to have in

mind EXACTLY what it is you’re trying to accomplish.

• When starting anything new, always keep the end result

in mind.

• Write it down!

• Set deadlines!

Look at your end result daily to remind you why you’re

doing what you’re doing, and why you’re in this business in

the first place.

#3 TAKE ONE STEP FORWARD

• Do Something!

A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.

Trying to Learn everything before you begin is the WRONG

approach.

It’s great to be a lifetime learner.

Learn new things every day

don’t forget to Implement!

then repeat!

JUST GET STARTED

#4 DO IT IMPERFECTLY

• Take one step. It’s probably going to be imperfect.

• That’s OKAY!

• If you’re doing something new, remember not to stress

over the imperfection.

• An imperfect step is still a step. It gets you closer to

your goal.

#5 STUDY UNDER A MENTOR

• Mentors can be people, books, tapes, etc.

• I have mentors in the business world, and in my personal

life.

• My dad is my biggest mentor.

• Get a mentor for every aspect of your life.

• Find people who have been there and done that.

#6 R&D

• When I hear R&D I think “Rip Off And Duplicate.”

• Rip off and duplicate what you see and hear (from SREC

and from other places) to make yourself more successful.

• Don’t reinvent the wheel.

• Some of the most successful products on the market are

just one simple step above what you’ve already seen.

• The iPad wasn’t the first tablet, it was just the best.

Take other ideas and make them better!

#7 MASTERMIND• You must surround yourself with other successful people

who are doing the same thing as you!

• Work with other people to accomplish a similar goal.

• Sometimes sharing the exact same idea in the exact same

market allows both parties to take their business to a

higher level.

Set aside time for mastermind groups.

3 people minimum.

2 people can easily get stuck on an idea. We need 3 to

keep thoughts flowing.

#8 ALLOW YOURSELF A FUN REWARD

• Set a project, set a goal, then set a reward.

• This goes right along with #2.

• When discovering your end result, make sure to include a

reward.

Take yourself out, buy yourself something.

Set this reward in advance.

It will become a motivation through the difficult times.

#9 CELEBRATE

• Once you’ve completed steps 1-8, it’s time to celebrate!

• Take a small break from your next project.

• Beginning something new right away can lead to burnout.

Have a party with the people in your mastermind group

and all your mentors!
