Time, Energy, Money = Your Life in High Definition

One thing will ring true throughout your life and it is this: whatever you put your time, energy, and money to will broadcast live in HIGH DEFINITION for everyone to see. Wealth isn't simply a money thing- it's an asset thing- whatever you leave behind in the areas of morals, wisdom, and money is what the next generation will use to get to their levels of greatness. If you left the Earth today, what assets are you leaving behind? Time- What does your day look like? Do you have a lot of time on your hands? Are you so busy you're always wondering where the time went? Dr. Dennis Kimbro of the Napoleon Hill Foundation finds that financially successful black Americans put their time where they want their results to show. So, dedicate your time to things that are going to provide you and those you love with an increase. I always ask myself when I'm about to get involved in something- how will this bring the increase? If it doesn't bring increase, I pass on it. And it's as simple as that. While writing my book, I literally was like a robot. I got up at 5 am. to get the family of to school and work. I worked from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Made dinner by 7 p.m., kids in bed by 8:30 p.m. and I'm typing and editing by 9 p.m., and in bed by midnight and REPEAT! With 4 children, a husband, a house, a job, and my own business, what else do I have time for? You've got to make every second count. No sacrifice, no reward. Energy- Energy means your creativity, mental, emotional, and physical effort. Do you have goals or desires that seem to keep getting pushed back every time you look around? Are the things in your life seemingly costing you to have to give up your dreams or goals day after day and month after month? It is true that for everything there is a season. However, if every time you look around your season doesn't ever seem to be HERE, you need to assess where your energy is going in your life. Are you making room for your creativity to thrive or are you making excuses? In order to achieve your goals and dreams you must find a way by any legitimate means necessary. Some people will call you a workaholic, some will call you obsessed but whatever they call you- they can't call you unfilled, lazy, or unsuccessful. Money- Always invest in your personal and professional development. I put money aside on a monthly basis to invest in my professional development- $25. It's much better than taking a $300 chunk from my account when an event or seminar I want to attend comes around. I will always invest in myself first before I pay one bill. My professional development has become an expense yet investment that I plan for monthly. Life long learning is the #1 priority listed by high achievers as the reason for their success. If I have to choose between $15- $25 to eat out 3-4 times per month or the $150 professional development seminar that happens every 3 months that will change the course of my life and my family's life forever- I'm going for the professional development! Reaching your goals is a journey. Make it one worth the while. And when it is all said and done, your eulogy can read, "one who inspires."
