Super-achievers
3 Distinctions
· Don't Do
Yes is Easy to say; No is the Master skill
Mark Parker CEO of NIKE
"I'm proud of what we Don't do as I am of what we do"
Told about Richard Branson congratulating him on becoming the new CEO of NIKE and gave some advice ~ 50 % best in the world 50% crap
"Success has less to do with what we can get ourselves to do and more to do with keeping ourselves from doing what we should NOT do" Kenneth Cole
Kenneth Cole Productions (Shoe & Clothing line Company of NY) Top 200 small business in Forbes.
"There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that should not be done at all" Peter Drucker
Peter is one of the best-known and most widely influential thinkers and writers on the subject of management theory and practice.
Consider:
Look at your calendar last week. What should I have said NO to?
Look at your calendar for next week; what should I say NO to.
Look at your project list, new initiatives, new feature lists, Which should I say "No" to?
· Not Doing More …….Doing Fewer
Better to be World-Class at a few things, than Mediocre at Many things
Richard Branson focuses on 3-Strategic Priorities
Offered $250k and then $500k to speak, no amount of money will do.
Identify your VITAL Functions
Dr. OZ has 30 surgeries each week and still accomplishes all that he does: books, TV, etc.
It is not about 5,000 things…….. Its about a ½ dozen things.
"Gentleman this is a football" Vince Lombardi
"Every season we started back with the basics…… how do we tie your shoes" John Wooden
"If you have more than three Priorities, you do not have any" Jim Collins
Joel Osteen - One Function
Darren Hardy story - Stopwatch
Consider:
What are your --½ dozen Vital Function?
What are your -- 3 Strategic Priorities?
The Great Challenge of all Time!!!!!!!!!!!
Saying "NO," doing fewer
Talked about Twitter and Facebook
Addicted to Distraction – It is a form of Relief and we want to be wanted.
The pivotal breakdown to high-achievement = weakness to Immediate gratification.
The requirement: Emotional Maturity
What do Successful people and Unsuccessful people have in common?
The Great Paradox:
What gives you…
Short-term pleasure = long term pain.
Short pain = long term pleasure.
When in doubt - Just do the thing you don't want to do. (Usually that's exactly what you should do!)
· Businesses are not: Buildings, Equipment, Products/Services, etc.
Businesses are people: Recruit & Retain the best people: WIN
Henry Ford & Frank Keefer -My goal is to be the dumbest one in the room.
To Do What We Know We Should
The problem is our habits
Habits start out like cobwebs, than become cables
Consider: What 3 habits that hinder your performance, thus results?
Bad Habits – Easy to develop hard to change
Good Habits – Hard to develop easy to lose
Take $.50 notebook and track a bad habit for 21 days to help you figure how to change it. If you focus on 1 habit for 21 days, that can help you change 17 bad habits a year.
For example, tracking what you eat on a daily basis, what you do for your MA business on a daily basis.
Does your WHY make you cry.
"If you haven't found something you are willing to die for, you aren't fit to live" Dr. Martin Luther King
