Weekly Wisdom #268 - 5 Minutes of Gold

There are as many techniques for time management as there are ways to waste time. The most common approach to managing time is by looking at it from a linear approach and prioritizing actions. Well, if those approaches work for you... great. If not, here's a revolutionary approach to making the most of your time by shifting what you do with your thinking and your senses.

What a greatly daily wisdom

yup we are have 24 hrs in a day. I would like to have more time in my life and in order for me do that I'm definitely going to watch the people who I interact with, what I do on a weekly basics. I will avoid things that don't benefit me and my REI business. I'm not going to lie, sometimes I see myslf focusing been most of my time in problems and dramas instead of focusing on solution and growth/action.

Thanks for sharing Dean

Strategic IE membership

Goldilocks Homes's picture

I tried to enroll with the Strategic plan membership last night since the link was still up there, and it didn't let me enroll. I guess it is not available anymore. Last night was the first time that I saw the offer.

Oh.........my....... How I needed to hear this!

Dean, Dean, Dean. You have NO idea how much I needed to hear this, especially at this time of year. Family drama galore every where I go. And because I've always been the "strong" one everyone thinks I need to hear THEIR story, because of course, I can handle it (for them, they think!). I am so tired of all of this that I don't even want to be involved with the get togethers any more. Of course they don't know this..... I just smile, listen, try to give an encouraging word (often times pray with them before we part), but deep down I was allowing myself to get angry with them because they don't want to grow up! I needed to hear this today. And determine to lift myself out of the drama and refocus on where I want to go. Thanks again and blessings to you. Carolyn Habig

falls right in line with the quote by Henry Ford that I have in my journal.
"whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right". Did not take time to see the livecast and have to go back and see it now because I know I've missed a lot lol. have to carve some time for it. Thanks Dean and your team for providing your extended family with so much. "keep moving forward", Rob

Dear Dean, Thanks so much for the insight, looking at time this way brings it all into prospective. This is something that moved me
personally right now.
Merry Christmas,

Getting more time

Thanks Dean for weekly wisdom #268. getting more time is so hard sometimes, but if we do like you say to scrap the stuff that doesn't get us to our goals then we'll have that time. A business associate of mine always says to be successful, you must do something productive daily for your business to be a success. Have a Merry Christmas
and a great New Year. Phil.

Merry Christmas Dean!! :)

Thanks for your weekly/daily words of wisdom! One treasure you helped me find with Real Estate investing is that it GIVES you more time! Yay! Time for family, friends, fun. Time to "work" at your own pace. Time free from worrying. It's like buying something that can't be bought: time. Passive income from rentals is awesome!!!

Your weekly wisdom is so right on! I see way too many people focusing and dwelling on the negatives in their lives, and it's easy to get sucked into their woes if you listen too long. Thanks for the reminder that positive, productive thinking (and verbalizing) is a huge time-giver, always nice to get more of that! I wish everyone a positive, uplifting mindset for the New Year! Yay!!!

Have a blessed Christmas!! Smiling)
Rina

THIS IS ANOTHER "GOLDEN NUGGET" OF WISDOM THAT I WILL TREASURE & ADD TO MY "TREASURE TRUTHS" TO LIVE BY & PASS ON TO OTHERS WHO WILL HEAR & RECEIVE -- IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE THAT WHAT WE FOCUS ON IS WHAT WE GRAVITATE TO -- THE CAR DRIVERS WERE A PERFECT ILLUSTRATION OF HOW TO STAY FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT THING, ESPECIALLY AT A CRUCIAL TIME !!!!

RIGHT FOCUS, RIGHT MINDSET, RIGHT COMPANIONS, RIGHT CHOICES & RIGHT ACTIONS LEAD TO "RIGHT RESULTS" !!!!

AS ALWAYS I THANK YOU & CONSIDER YOU TO BE ONE OF THE VERY BEST OF PERSONS I HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY IN MY QUEST TO REACH MY HIGHEST & BEST IN LIFE & THEN TO SHARE WHAT I HAVE LEARNED WITH OTHERS WHO DESIRE TO REACH THEIR HIGHEST BEST !!!

Got back from the Buying Summit in Las Vegas last week and had a great time! (minus the part when I threw my lower back out by the third day)!
Had to take time out to meet a chiropractor on site, when Dean made my day as I saw him heading in my direction! Eye-wink Even though I was in so much pain it didn't stop me from jumping out of the chair to say hello!

Dean it was a pleasure to meet you finally. I can not thank you enough for being so generous in sharing and showing the world how to do this. I'm still slow to do my first deal with my coach..but at least I now have a foundation built…I purchased 7 rental properties, 6 tax liens and 5 tax deeds.
Now I need to kick my own butt and get the courage to get out there and do a deal. My worry is locking in a property and no cash buyer to assign it to. Struggling to get a good buyer's list going.
Love you Dean
Lynn Hoff

Change your state - just like that

steinway024's picture

Hi Dean,
Thanks for the outstanding video. I learned from Tony Robbins how we can change our state (of mind) just like that - snap your fingers here - and you are so right - it's all about where we focus. Where we focus is where energy goes - we have to be careful about what we dwell on. "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Philippians 4:7-9

Weeding out drama

TinaScott's picture

I can't tell you how much my life has changed by eliminating drama and drama filled situations from my life. All of us have a choice whether to be in it or put our mind and energy into more than drama. Nothing comes good of drama and my life used to be full of it. Focusing on solutions and destinations to get to growth and more active is what we have been focusing on. Thanks for a different mindset opportunity!

Weekly Wisdom Awsome!!

Hi Dean!!! It's been awhile since I watched your weekly blog. I've been so busy with studies w/PMI I don't get your weekly blogs anymore for some reason. And I decided to go to DG and check out the latest. Man am I glad I did . The best ever,I needed to get my head out of the sand. Still haven't done a deal ,but between ready millionaire& PMI& just started 30 Days.FYI No Dougt 2014 WILL BE My YEAR FOR BEING SUCCESSFUL. Thanks for reminding how you teach us to take all the drama out of our lives and focus on positive. That wall is what I been looking at, but not after watching this. Thanks Dean again!
