One of the books I have been reading lately is E-Myth. It is an essential to every person that wants to be a successful businessman. You can revisit this book over and over again and the learning continues. That is the power of a true classic.
One of the phrases that stuck out to me tonight was this: “Great people have a vision of their lives that they practice emulating each and every day. They go to work on their lives, not just in them.”
Earlier in the book Gerber discusses that working IN your business sets you up for failure. The business owner needs to be working ON the business, constantly improving the business development processes. We need to do this in our lives as well. So many of us are way too causal in our actions, thoughts and words. People that are in the world to be producers and achieve their goals and dreams in business and in your personal life need to realize and remember that every choice you make has a consequence either good or bad. We are accountable for our actions. No decision should be made without thought or measuring it up to your goals in life.
You should ask yourself each time, “Is this decision I am about to make in line with my goals I have set for my business and myself?” If you start to use this sort of filtering system, it will be a lot easier to make your choices because you will see if it is taking you one step closer or one step further away. The more you practice this it will just become habit and you will soon be making choices that are in line with your goals and you will be on your way to prosperity!
