How to Predict Your Success?
Predict Your Success | What’s Your Direction?
There are people that you come across that you know are going to be successful – do you agree? This doesn’t mean they are better than you, but that they simply focus on the right things, manage their time well, and have a clearer vision of what they want in their life. It’s time to predict your success!
Are you ready to set your direction for success?
- What is important to you in your professional and personal life?
- What are you focusing on now, and why?
- Are you focusing on your highest-value activities?
- Do you need to re-evaluate where you are spending your time?
- Are you willing to try strategies that others use to be more focused and results orientated?
- Focus 100% on high-value tasks that will bring you significant results.
- Block off uninterrupted time chunks daily to move your goals forward exponentially.
Do not waiver on project focus, and your results will be three-fold by year-end.

Focus On Success | 80/20 Rule of Thumb
What is holding you back from getting what needs to be done? Is it time to identify your key constraints?
20% of our activities typically produce 80% of our results
When looking at your day and formulating your priorities, you will be surprised how much you can get done when you focus on the top 20%.
It is easy to waste time or be ‘busy’ on unimportant items. To ensure you do not do this, you need to adopt a productivity-focused mindset and retain focus on what is important and brings the most value.
Focus on the top 20% of tasks that are on your list that reap 80% of your results.
Start your day working on the identified top 20% of your activities; you will make decisions faster and make more progress on high-value tasks.
Just Say No
Be Successful | Say No!
One of the best ways to manage your schedule and not feel so stressed or overwhelmed is to become comfortable saying the word ‘No’. If something is not of value to you, graciously bow out politely and don’t feel compelled to take it on. Focus instead on your professional and personal goals, rather than those of others.
For every ask, run it through the ABCDE process:
A Must do | B Should do | C Something nice to do, but not necessary | D Delegate it | E Eliminate it
