Time management, personal productivity, high performance systems, daily planning, success automation... Different names for the same high value task: working smarter, not harder.

I've researched the topic for a number of years, facilitated a large number of programmes inside various organisations only to find that 5 minutes of deliberate planning every day smashes any other productivity system out of the park! My system is called the Daily Productivity Page (download it below) and I invite you to have a run with it.

Step 1 has to do with your long term vision. As Stephen Covey suggests, start with the ideal end in mind. Write down your top 10 goals daily before you start working. They give you future direction and guidance to make smart decisions in the here and now.

Step 2 breaks the process down in bite sized chunks. Write down your ideal outcomes for the day (or week). Mind the word "outcomes" - not "activities". Develop a results mindset instead of a busy-ness mindset.

Step 3 u...

We don't let the CoronaVirus stop us. 

We choose to remain proactive and chase our dreams no matter what.

We have a major definite purpose, and we are here to fulfil it.

If anything, this pandemic or crisis, provides us with the necessary drive to transform our lives, businesses and society at large. We can no longer be complacent.

I want to support you in leading change.

As promised, Tom, I hereby fill you in on the very changes that I am making to be of greater service to you.

Needless to remind you that times are difficult: jobs are drying up, there is social distancing until we will all have to stay home, people are unwell, etc. 

While this can easily bring us down, it is my job to provide guidance, cheer you up and show you the various opportunities to make the most of the situation so that you can still thrive NOW.

As a reminder, we will be spending more time at home in the coming weeks and months... Whether you like it or not. We will have more time at hands. I suggest we invest a portion of that time in "meaningful" activities. 

One, for sure, is to deepen your relationship with people you care about. Family, friends, clients. Skype, FaceTime and WhatsApp are our ally. We all need human connection and feel loved.

Secondly, we want to look after ourselves. Only when we are in a good place within (mentally, emotionally, spiritually) can we ta...

I really feel for everyone.

I feel for you and your family.

The CoronaVirus pandemic is causing people a lot of anxiety, fear, worries and concerns. We have lots of questions about what the future holds:

"How long is this going to go for?"

"Is my income secure?"

"When will we see our friends and family again in a normal way?"

"Is our economy capable of getting through this without too many casualties?"

Speaking of the latter, there is no doubt that this is going to hurt us.

Everyone is affected in some shape or form. 

Lucky for us, crises not only bring the worst out of people. They also give people a new chance to bond with each other, not to take everything for granted, and truly revisit the meaning of life.

Now that we will have more time to reflect at home, I encourage you to use your time wisely.

Before Corona, we often delayed important decisions because of 'lack of time'. Well, you will have plenty of it now. So instead of watching Stan, Netflix and Google Movies more...

A lot of people are expressing their concern about their business and their livelihood amidst the Corona pandemic.

You might be worried too.

I really feel for everyone, as I have a services business as well.

Having said that, I also see how this crisis is helping us all to make our business more bullet proof and agile, by embracing technologies that have been available for years. 

Most importantly, the question is HOW to continue trading and servicing clients whilst maintaining a healthy cashflow and continue receiving an income.

Especially when more stringent measures will be taken by government and others to flatten the curve and delay severe consequences from coronavirus infections nearby. 

Watch my new video for guidance on what to do with a services-based business in these times.

In addition, I also want to invite you on a live call with me and Ray Behan tonight at 7 pm Adelaide time.

what is your destination?

I mean... If there is a place that you want to get to in your life or business, where is it? What is your burning desire to achieve? 

You might recall the author of "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People", Stephen Covey. 

He came up with the idea that, before you start any day, task or project, you want to clarify your desired outcome upfront. That is: before you launch yourself into action, you want to visualise your destination vividly and then work your way back.

People often get challenged by competing priorities. They also think that they have more things to do than time available for completion. 

When we get caught up in the whirlwind of activities, there is a risk to loose sight of what truly matters. 

Are you busy? 

Chances are that you are. 

I mean... are you really busy making progress towards the end you have in mind?

And do you know where you are headed? 

You see, you might be busy doing all sorts of things that keep you busy, whil...

If you would have known what you know now 10 years ago, is it possible that you would have done things differently back then?

This definitely is a positive for me. In April 2020, I will be running my business for 10 years. ONE DECADE!!!

I realised that, as Members asked me about how to build a business while enjoying life, there is so much knowhow that turns everything upside down. That is, for the better!

• How we 'spend' our time... And how we can 'invest' it instead.
• What we can leverage, automate, streamline and delegate...
• How we create freedom thanks to multiple income streams...
• What incredible technologies are available to make life easy...
• How to avoid costly mistakes... And the realisation that there is always a price to pay.
• What not to do, and what to start sooner...
• And the list goes on and on.

It is such a big topic. And I realise that people often buy themselves a job.

There is nothing glamours in doing so. 

I also am well aware that people often pursue the...
