The Most Valuable Asset…
Time your most priceless asset!
It amazes me the amount of people who get blinded by the value of money and don’t think twice about wasting their precious time. The thing is once you spend your money it is quite easy to get back when you know how, but when you use a portion of your time it is gone forever.
Particularly in the field of entrepreneurial education that I have personally invested thousands of dollars in myself to fast track my learning curve. I still see countless people avoiding investing in an education package that will shave 10 years off their learning curve because of the financial investment, which is very cheap in most cases.
And the crazy thing is by the time they spend 10 years learning the slow expensive way, things will have changed and they will need to move on to something else.
The smart entrepreneurs don’t think twice about investing in themselves and one of the biggest benefits is if something happens and the money gets lost, those who’ve invested in their own knowledge will soon have the money back again because they know how to acquire it.
A great example about time management comes from a college professor; He sat a bowl on the desk in front of the class and filled it till it was piled up and overflowing with big rocks. He asked his class is the bowl full?
Yes, they replied.
The professor then poured small rocks in to the bowl until he couldn’t fit anymore in between the big rocks and asked the class if it was full now…
Yes, they replied.
Then he reached for the sand and started filling the bowl further with sand shaking the bowl so that it filled in the gaps, what about now the professor said?
At this time the class had no response they weren’t sure.
To finish the experiment the professor grabbed a jug of water and used that to fill up the bowl as much as it would take and then said to the class what is the point of this experiment.
The point is if you don’t prioritize your time and schedule your big rocks first, you will end up filling your life with sand (unimportant tasks) and their will be no room left for the big rocks that are important to you.
Unfortunately for most people they don’t put the time in to identifying what they really want or planning how to get it, which results in them wasting their precious time and life busying themselves with unimportant tasks.
Focus on the big rocks!!
The future is what you make it!
Yours in success,
