Do you feel like your efforts don't pay out enough? Like, you put so much time and energy into something and desired results are just not there?
Your relationships are not with people you truly want to be with? Your childhood dream has evolved to merely a hobby? Do you still try to achieve what you wanted to be already accomplished?
Think it's mindset?
Mindset doesn't change with time - it changes with actual work.
Each second you work for it is counted.
Otherwise your situation will be the same no matter how much you dance around your mindset, how many times you will read "4-Hour Workweek" or "Switch". No instrument is a good instrument until it's put into work.
The strongest power in the world is The Power of Dedication.
It's also the most underestimated, but the most rewarding principle that doesn't care about who you are, how much money you have, what you can or cannot do or anything else.
It allows you to change your life no matter what. It allows you to get results IMMEDIATELY. It allows you to live your life being happy and succeed in any sphere of life.
It doesn't require a lot of effort, it's not asking you "How hard you want it?" - it just pays out. Its gratification is immediate and long-lasting. Your achievements with it last forever.
You know why?
Because it's your results taken to the level of absolute.
They're not relative to anything.
How good you are compared to somebody else? You won't be upset anymore even if you think that everyone else is better than you.
You won't ask "How long will it take to achieve results" anymore. You'll forget that this question exists, you'll find it silly. Your business will grow day after day, your entrepreneurship will never go downhill. You'll be grateful for what you have and you will know that you WILL achieve more.
How it works?
You just start doing one thing now. Google this thing, read about it. How do you want to make it work for you?
Google it again. Ask fellow TFLF members to share their thoughts.
Search for a specialist in this field. Just google it again and read everything you find on first 3 pages. With each page you'll dive deeper into it. And this is the key to making a change. Make yourself wet first. Let yourself dry and come back to dive in again. Just do it consistently. It's easy.
There will be a time when you'll dive in and won't look back.
I have spent at least 30 thousands of hours doing what I love. It's 1250 days. 3 years of consistent work.
Do I care now how much time I have spent in the beginning and how hard it was? No, I don't even remember that. All I see is results.
Same for you - just make it happen. If it's happened for 10 minutes, it's there. You have 10 minutes in your pocket. You're 10 minutes better than you were before. You'll be even better if you spend 10 minutes more. Add 40 more minutes and congratulations - you're an hour into!
Do you think an hour is not significant?
10 years ago, in my first hour before the piano I played and recorded a few chords that I will use now, 10 years later, in a song on an upcoming album of my music band.
Every brick will take its place.
I know people who used small things they did years ago only recently. Something they didn't even think will take a serious place.
Start today and a year later you'll have more than if you would start a year from now.
Write down a paragraph of text on a regular basis and you'll have some thoughts on paper. Do it consistently and a few years from now you'll have a finished book which you would never have written otherwise. Just for yourself - don't care about money.
Money come to those who are consistent. Not to those who put all their effort towards something for a month or a year and then leave. If you are consistent, you will get further on your own then whole companies usually get.
Do you know the difference between Hunters and Farmers?
Hunters always die starving.
Be a Farmer. Take a farmer's approach even when you hunt and you'll reap the benefits for a lifetime. You'll never go downhill.
How do I know? I own a relatively small library of original licensed music that makes money. I've never written a single piece of music for money, I just got everything I have together and made a commercial library for a video/game industry from it. Do you think it was stressful? I can't remember the last time it was. Does it matter now? No, everything that matters is that I was taking action time and time and time again. The purpose of those actions doesn't even matter now, results do.
Start today. Be consistent from now on.
Want to truly change your life, no matter where you're at now?
Start with dedicating 1 minute of your life.
One day it will be 10000 hours. You'll be a great at it. It will be so easy as it was never hard.
