Aloha,

What is the “Secret” to success? If you’ve found my blog, the chances are better than even that you have already been asking the universe that question. You’ve also probably found many other answers to the question along the way, in addition to my blog. The fact is, there is a mountain of wisdom and experience (and, even more so, garbage) detailing every step and every scenario along the way to “Success”.

You have the information. The question is, what are you doing with it? 98% get bogged down in the information. They have a thousand million-dollar ideas and keep themselves constantly one e-book or software version (or something) away from actually putting them into action.

If you have told the universe that you want to know how to become rich, the universe will agree with you. You will search and search for information and every new finding will only lead to more questions. You will make mental notes of important things to get back to. But you will quickly lose that thread in the dense forest of possibilities.

This is the curse of “Too Much Information”.  In the beginning, you believed you were surrounded by scarcity and top-secret special knowledge. You told the universe that you wanted information. You got what you asked for. Information overload isn’t just a small problem. It literally makes you less intelligent, and that’s something most of us definitely don’t need!

How do you stop cycle?

1. Remove yourself from Time-wasting activities and people.

This is anything and anyone that gets in the way of achieving your goals for the day. You should have a time set aside that is devoted to pure action. This space is sacred and it is about doing nothing but accomplishing the tasks on your list for the day, however imperfectly.

Set deadlines. Generally, open-ended, unfocused time is not used effectively. If freedom is your goal, remember that it is a habit. Set limits and respect them.

2. Stop reading. Start doing.

You already have the tools. Start taking action today to achieve your goal. A good mantra to adopt is Ready, Fire, Aim. You can and should go back and measure the results of your action to correct mistakes and improve results. However, an imperfectly executed action today is infinitely superior to a perfect one tomorrow.

3. Plan your work. Work your plan.

At the end of every day, make a simple list of your goals for the next day, to include any items not completed today at the top. Follow this list religiously and do not move to the next task until you have completed the first. At the end of the week, look over what you’ve accomplished. This is your benchmark for the next week. Can you exceed your productivity?

Keep it simple. A series of small goals can lead to large accomplishments if consistently achieved. Just do something every day.  Of course the most effective thing you can do everyday is to make a system out of anything you do more than one time… and then assign that task to someone else.
