Hint - Use the Wisdom of Benjamin Franklin to Become Famous by Morning By Mark A. Lewis

Benjamin Franklin was one of the founding fathers of the United States of America, but to call him just a scientist would not do him justice.

He was a noted author, satirist, civic activist, inventor, statesman and diplomat.

Franklin is credited as being foundational to the roots of American values and character, a marriage of the practical and democratic values of thrift, hard work, education and community spirit.

Also famous for a number of quotes, let’s use the Benjamin Franklin ethics of hard work and persistence to help you forge ahead in your efforts of business and self promotion:

Planning
“Never leave that till to-morrow which you can do to-day.”

I have heard this put in another, more direct, way by Carnegie and Schwab: “Eat the frog first”. That is, whatever is your most unpleasant task, get it out of the way first! Then everything after that will seem easy.

Teamwork
“We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

Whether you work alone or in a group, at some stage reliance on others can be necessary and better still, extremely useful to fulfilling your needs.

“Many hands make light work”, so lighten your load both mentally and physically when you can.

Achievement
“Little strokes fell great oaks.”

Many people are daunted by the enormity of a project or promotion. Breaking it down into manageable tasks and defining the ‘critical path’ can have you speeding to a successful outcome.

Success
“A little neglect may breed mischief: for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost.”

Don’t forget to do the groundwork for a project. Enormous structures are only as stable and strong as the foundations they sit upon.

“Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments. If we can get rid of the former, we may easily bear the latter.”

What measure of satisfaction can a person get for not pursuing a path or dream? Pride in one’s achievement is acceptable and expected after a comparable effort has been made in pursuit of the task.

“God helps them that help themselves.”

This is another of the universal laws. With the correct mindset and effort, you “reap what you sow”.

Money
“Remember that time is money.”

Making one million dollars is not the same if it was done over 3 years compared to 30 years. So don’t delay another minute and forge ahead!

“A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose to the grindstone.”

If you desire to be wealthy and successful then educating yourself in ways to maintain and grow such wealth is an important skill to learn.

Time
“Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”

Learn to ‘live in the now’. Don’t put off things until tomorrow, don’t dwell on past failures or achievements just as you shouldn’t fear or get too excited over future events. The only things you can do and influence are happening right now.

So live for the moment and become Famous By Morning!

Success at Making Changes - Put the Large Rocks in the Jar First By Helene Desruisseaux

You probably heard the story of the Zen master who showed his students a jar full of sand and assorted sized rocks and asked them how to add a few larger rocks to the jar without throwing out any of its contents.

They of course answered that it couldn’t be done; there was no more room.

Isn’t that how you feel about your latest personal change project?

There is no more room, so no wonder part of you sabotages the personal improvement or profit making project that you say you want to institute.

Your mind is full, your time is taken, and part of you rebels. No matter how important a big rock is, it can’t go into your jar.

Yes it can

Your jar can hold more than it appears; the trick is to put the bigger rocks in first, then the smaller and smaller ones, finishing with the sand. There is room for everything because the smaller particles just filter through whatever small space is available.

Try it for yourself one time; seeing it is a lot more powerful than reading about it.

What are your big rocks?

Mine this week was starting to exercise daily (I know, so predictable a New Year’s resolution), and I followed the typical pattern when it comes to change:

Day 1: Did great

Day 2: Didn’t do any. I got busy and told myself I’d do it later when I wasn’t as mentally productive, and then ran out of willingness later in the day. How embarrassing since I teach people how to make changes in their lives!

Why didn’t I put my big rock in first? I didn’t think I needed to; I thought for sure I would exercise later. After all, until recently I was used to frequent workouts and didn’t have to struggle to do it. I certainly didn’t feel any internal resistance and was looking forward to it.

But in the last 4 months, I have been spending most of my time sitting in front of the computer and let my gym membership lapse (sound familiar?). I had left myself get out of the exercise habit, at an age where it takes a little more effort to get my body motivated.

Day 3: I put the rock in first and started the day with exercise.

Now putting the rock in first doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to do it first thing in the morning. It just happens to be a good idea for many people especially when it comes to exercising. Your past behavior will tell you what you need to do to make your big rock a priority before other things.

The most frequent strategic mistake

I still find myself going down that road; see if it’s familiar thinking: “I’ll get all the small easy stuff out of the way to clear the decks, and then I’ll be freer to get started on my priority.”

So I’ll check e-mails…and still be piddling about an hour later. Twitter and Facebook are two other great ones to procrastinate with.

Yes, e-mails and Social Media may be essential to your business, but they are quite distracting and can be done in small increments. They are the sand rather than the big rock.

Big Rocks are usually either:

Changes of habits
Things we might resist but need to do
Goals that might bring up fear of failure or rejection
Creative projects needing concentration
And requiring sustained effort
Clearing the decks first opens the door to your internal resistance distracting you from ever starting on the more important, and scarier, stuff.

1) Attack finding oneself a job as though it embodied a full-time job, since it is. If you experienced a job, you would account to work at the same time every day (like eight am), take an hour (or less) as lunch, and depart at the same time every day (like five pm). You would work 5 days each week. And you would work hard to achieve as much as you can since your career hinged upon it.

When you’re looking for for a job, you had better observe the same type of schedule since your future depends on it.

Addressing your job hunt as though a part-time hobby ensures that it will take longer.

And so, start out tomorrow by reporting to work and spending the day upon chores that direct to a job.

2) Approach finding a job as though it equaled a project. That way you should determine goals for yourself, attain plans, and supervise your progression. You had better employ all of the tools and skills that you put-upon in your last job to the task of obtaining your future job.

Since you must anticipate, this is a significant project. The earlier you accomplished it, the sooner you acquire a promotion into a job.

3) Be your own boss. Determine expectations for what you require to fulfill, put up direction, and supervise your work.

Converge with yourself at one time every week to evaluate your performance. I urge exercising this by writing two accounts. The 1st is a outspoken evaluation of what you achieved on the past week. The 2nd is a description of your plans for the approaching week. Your plans had better include your goals, actions, and priorities.

The 1st time that you compose these accounts, write an evaluation of what you’ve executed so far. Identify the results that this attempt has brought about. And compare these outcomes with what you desired to have.

Next, map out an honest plan for the following workweek established on accomplishable goals. For instance, you could arrange goals for the quantity of people you’ll address, the number of networking meetings you’ll attend to, and the research you’ll carry on.

In the following weeks, compare the outcomes that you got on the past week with the goals that you set. For instance, if you conceived to go to 12 networking meetings and you accompanied merely 2, you had better a) an explanation why this came about and b) program actions that will rectify such a difference. You should also break down how come you neglected your goal since this allows for insights on what you require to do otherwise. For instance, Your goal (e.g., of seeing twelve networking meetings) might have been set overly high. Or perhaps there are matters you are able to do that will make it easier to accomplish your job hunt goals, such as automobile pooling with a friend who’s also searching a job.
