Concentrate for the next 2 minutes on the ideas presented here, and you’ll be taking one more step forward on your path to your success.
We can learn a lot from modeling those very few people who reach their success faster than most.
The most successful in any area have dedicated thousands of hours of concentrated effort into MASTERING their skills. They have focused their energies, their time, and their every breathing moment into doing whatever it takes for as long as it takes to become a MASTER at their craft.
Just as it’s true that the best athlete’s earn the most money, the same is true for the best entertainers, the best entrepreneurs, and every other profession.
Throughout your day, you have the opportunity to evaluate and improve every single function and task you perform. Your thought process should be … How can I do this faster? Easier? Cheaper? Not at all?
How can I improve my marketing? How can I reach more of my perfect clients? How can I improve my communications? How can I add more value to everyone I meet? Etc., Etc.
As you pose these questions on a daily basis, you launch new ideas …
And when they work, YOU HARDWIRE the new idea into your consciousness over and over until it becomes the “normal” way for you to think in that area.
Incremental changes in your daily life that you HARDWIRE into your new “self” leads you rapidly to EXPONENTIAL growth and success.
Your current “self” has brought you to where you are today. If you want to be in a different place 3 years from now, you’re going to have to make some changes. When would be a good time to start?
Namaste.

Great thoughts, Jeff. We often think about this or that and never really consider the impact this thinking is having on our consciousness and success.
Reconnecting those neurons with a different way of thinking is an amazing feat we can all do, but will we?
I think your blog post will inspire people to see things from this fresh perspective. Thanks for sharing it.
I believe that I am an optimistic person. I have goals which are reviewed and adjusted periodically. However, I still catch myself thinking unnecessary and non productive thoughts throughout the day.
This is great stuff. Often, it seems people are afraid to push themselves but you are doing it for them. People are too pampered and especially during these more challenging economic times, most need a not so gentle shove to do what we know we can or should be doing to optimize our personal performance. As in sports, we have to keep our intensity levels higher to achieve our desired results.
Jeff, you are absolutely correct that it takes time to form the habits necessary in order to become a master at whatever you do. However once you’ve mastered your craft and added a lot of value to your clients you can’t help but become successful. The key is patience and persistence.
Thanks for sharing this great insight.

I think the key is “incremental changes”. I am always looking at How I can do this faster? Easier? Cheaper? Not at all?
My problem is that I find so many things to change that the process gets fragmented. A little bit gets done in a lot of different areas, but none of them get finished.
INCREMENTAL CHANGE
Jeff, I think that you are dead on with regard to model the most successful in any profession. Take high jumping for example. In the old days, high jumpers used a technique call the “Western Roll” over the bar. Then, some guy named Fosbury tried something radically different with amazing results. His “flopping” over the bar backwards was a new model that “rollers” surely laughed at. But the Fosbury Flop proved to be a more effective model and it became the standard for high jump success.
I know I need to keep my eye on who’s perfected their craft and model it.
