Dream makers vs. Dreams breakers: Priority

One of the most common excuses that I often hear people say when asked, “why they don’t go after their dreams or goals”, is time. They claim not having enough time to do so.

If we take two of the most common goals: get healthy and start a business; people complain about not having enough time to watch what they eat, to exercise regularly. They also claim not having enough time to allocate to a business after a full day work and spend time with family.

My answer to that is very simple. That goal is not priority. It is true that there is only 24 hours in a day and it might be an issue but what it really comes down to is PRIORITY. If what you want to accomplish is on the top of your priorities list, you will make time for it.

For example: I don’t have time to work 8 hours per day for someone else. Do I still work 8 hrs per day? YOU BET.

So really, it’s as simple as: If you want it bad enough, you will do what it takes to see it happen.

Next week, I’ll share a few simple tips that will leave you with at least an extra hour per day… that is 7 hours per week.

"Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use." - Earl Nightingale

Have a bless week,
