Trying to make changes in your life? Trial and error works – it just takes a long time. A mentor is a godsend, but they hard to find. A coach is another great investment but be prepared to spend some money. So how do you improve without wasting a lot time and money?

Reading!  It’s simple, cheap, and best of all, it can be done anywhere. It’s a great way to improve yourself.

I’ve noticed one thing that separates the people who achieve their goals and those that don’t, are the habits they build around the goals they set. If you want to achieve more this you need to build the right habits.

Aristotle said, “We are destined by our habits.”

Being productive is about the long haul. It does no good to be really productive one day and not the next. I realize we all fall off the wagon at some point and time. Sometimes you have very good reasons why. But it’s the systems you build now that will let you jump right back into being productive.

Hone and refine  your systems now so you can be productive while the stuff is hitting the fan.
