Solving Your Business and Goals Puzzle

Success, in whatever field you choose, is not that complicated - as long as you understand how to look at it.

Think about the Rubik's Cube for a moment, a six sided puzzle, six colors, nine stickers on each side, and all you you have to do is match them up. Simple right?

Well what if I sat you down, blindfolded you, and put a mixed up Rubik's cube in your hand, if you started twisting it randomly, how long do you think it would take you to solve it?

Scientists estimate that it could take you up to six billion years! That's a long time.

Do you know that there are guys that can solve the Rubik's cube in less than six seconds?! There are guys that can solve it blindfolded, or behind their back (after memorizing it), guys that can do it with their feet, and even whilst juggling.

Now let's blindfold you again, sit you down, and put a mixed up Rubik's cube in your hand. This time we'll bring in one of these experts into the room. he won't tell you what to do, he'll just say "Yes" or "No" every time you make a move.

Do you think this will shorten the time it takes? Absolutely. This time, to match up all the colors, it will take you less than two minutes!

Your business, or your success journey, is a lot more like that Rubik's cube than you might imagine. It's not that it's complicated, after all the Cube only has 6 sides. It's just that at every twist you are faced with choices. Do you want to spend 6 billion years getting there, or 2 minutes?

Whether you are growing your dream business, or any dream, there is a systematic process that boils down to this:

You need to know, out of all the possible things you could be doing, which are the critically important few actions that you must take. And you need to be doing those few things every single day.

You could spend six billion years figuring those things out for yourself, or you could get a coach and/or a mentor.

Off the Court

The Australian Open Tennis Championships are dominating the media and conversations this Australia Day.

Just like any major sporting event, we see the best of the best of the best of the best congregate to do battle.

With the exception of one player, all of the players in to the top 8 Men's singles are in the top 10 ranked players in the world.

The cream floats to the top.



We look at what they do on the court and are impressed with their skills and determination.

But what about what they are doing off the court? How did they get to enter such competitions in the first place?

Well, the majority of them started very young, they played, they persisted and continued playing.

They traveled away from home over 30 weeks a year, and spent another 15 or so in off season training. They shared rooms with other players, they ate junk because that was all they could afford, yet they had a dream, goals, and they persisted.

And even when they've 'made it', they are still training about 4 hours a day, even when they have a grueling match. They've got strength training, endurance training, and that's on top of tennis training.

There are no overnight successes. There is no success without hard work and commitment.

What are you doing 'off the court'?

To your success,
