From Ordinary to Extraordinary! The choice is Yours!!!

“If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the Ordinary” –Jim Rohn

You can be Extraordinary!, there is no room for ordinary; not today, not tomorrow...By having discipline in your schedule you can accomplish the level of success you deserve. Have you set your goals?

Start by asking yourself these simple questions: Is the quality of my life what I want it to be?; Where Am I spiritually?; Am I financially free?; Am I empowering others? If your answer wasn't YES, then it is time to stop doing the "usual" and start doing the "unusual"...Take the Risk, and you will Succeed...

The first thing that all successful individuals have in common is an agenda...yes, set a schedule that includes allocated personal time, lead generation and daily follow-ups. Be totally committed to that schedule! If you are not consistent it will be difficult to grow personally and professionally. As you follow your schedule, you will start succeeding towards your goals. There is no mystery to it.

I will share my personal "Prosperous Daily Schedule", just as an example or guide, each individual is different, the purpose is to start a schedule that will fit your goals and preferences...but basically using the same pattern for productivity.

My Prosperity Schedule stars as follows:

5:30-6:00 Mental Awareness and Gratitude

Start your day by Thanking God for your life, your family, your business...by starting the day with gratitude it slowly changes the way we perceive situations by adjusting what we focus on...and what we focus on, GROWS!

You can meditate, pray, chant or take a moment for you...in silence and let your thoughts flow...

Listen or read something positive everyday; don't get wrapped up with bad news in the TV! Be selective with what you fill your head with! It will greatly impact the rest of your day...

6:00-7:30 Physical Awareness

Yes! Exercise not only your mind but your body...Walk the beach (believe me it does wonders!!!), hit the gym, stretch those muscles at home, walk, jog, swim, there are numerous things you can do..."Exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain in terms of mood, memory, and learning," says Harvard Medical School psychiatrist John Ratey, author of the book, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain. So there is no reason why it should not be incorporated into your daily routine...and you will also reduce the stress level some of us experience on a daily basis!!!

7:30-8:30 Breakfast

Eating breakfast is a great way to get your metabolism working well for the day. When your body receives food in the morning, it wakes up the system and warms up the metabolism so it's ready to work throughout the day. When you don't eat breakfast in the morning, your body thinks that it needs to conserve the energy it has because it isn't getting any more through nutrition. This actually slows your metabolism down, which results in a decrease in the amount of calories you burn all day long. Not eating breakfast in the morning may save you calories for the time being, but it sets you up for failure throughout the rest of the day. This is because after not feeding your body for several hours overnight, a lack of food in the morning will leave you grumpy and hungry very early in the day. When lunch time rolls around, you're more likely to choose something high in fat and calories to satisfy your food cravings, because you feel so ravenous. If you can hold off through dinner, chances are you will feel an overwhelming urge to snack all night long, which can really pack on the calories. Breakfast is very important...we need to be able to Focus to be able to Produce!!!

8:30 -9 Learn Something New

Take the habit of learning something new about your business statistics and trends. We must keep with the flow, we live in a fast paced environment. We must constantly be on top of everything that pertains to your line of work and more...

9-12 Prospecting, Lead Generation, Meetings, Appointments and Follow-ups

Strive to speak to at least 30 people each day regarding your business...it is all about prospecting, creating new leads and working your referrals. Return voice-mails and emails...(Generate for 50 minutes, take a break for 10 mins each hour)

12-1:15/30 Lunch and Recharge

This is not the time to read emails or answer calls, respect your lunch time. Your time to regroup...freshen up for the afternoon! Your moment...

1:15/30-6 Reach

Return calls and respond to emails. Follow ups.

Appointments

Presentations

Negotiations

Lead generation, concentrate on getting at least one appointment for next day confirmed. Prepare for appointment scheduled for next day(presentation, charts, PowerPoint; etc.) Work tomorrow's schedule. If you have an assistant or secretary, don't forget to say "I am grateful for your contribution"...(remember gratitude?) before you leave for the day.

6 Accomplishment

Get ready to "close" for today, unless you have an evening appointment... Make sure if you have a family to dedicate time to them, without interruptions from work. Your family is your priority.

Enjoy a well deserved dinner

Take a moment to reflect about your day, be grateful for today...Take a "you" time before you go to bed.

Read something with positive content or listen to classical music

Visualize abundance in your life

Rest...tomorrow will be a great day!

Again, this schedule is a sample. I took my own schedule to show you as a guide, you must create your own; one that will work for you. Each scheduled must be tailored to the individual.

If you don't change your "usual" pattern, then you won't allow the "unusual" to bring you abundance, joy and fulfillment. If you are not committed to change the things that did not work before, then nothing will change in your life.

What will you settle for?

If you want to be successful personally and professionally you have to "Leave the Ordinary and Start Living Extraordinary"...
