Do It Right The 1st Time: Business Results

HAVE YOU been suffering from any of the following? ...or anything similar to them?

-You have so many ideas and thoughts that you don’t get anything really done

-You are almost always feeling frustrated and behind in your work

-You feel that you should be “card-carrying member” of the Round To It club.

-You have started so many projects (which are just piling up in your mind) that you don’t know which one to start work on

-Your mind’s RAM is so congested that it cannot function; it just grinds to a halt

-You are always asking yourself, “Where has time gone?   I haven’t accomplished even half of what I meant to.”

-Your internal strife just grows and grows because your good intentions are just …good intentions.

OK, you get the drift.  I know you have said, “Yes, I have those issues.”  We have all been there.  And most of us are continuing to suffer from too many ideas and projects with too little time to get them done… even the major ones that impact lifestyle and income.

I am making this post because I have found something that has and is really helping me to focus my mind so that I can become clear on what I need to do, and more importantly, what and how to get it done in a logical progression.  Actually, what I have found was actually pointed out to me by a friend of mine, Bob Jenkins, aka BobTheTeacher.  It is a simple mind-mapping program called, FreeMind, that you can download on the internet at no charge.  (That’s zero, nothing, nil, nada.)  However, even though the program costs nothing, it is not user friendly (or at least there are not any good tutorials).

My friend Bob realized that even though FreeMind was an outstanding program for focusing your mind and getting things done that most folks would have problems learning how to use the program and all its outstanding features.  So, Bob took it upon himself to develop a step-wise two-part video tutorial to show how simple the program really is to use and how to use it for most any activity or goal (business projects, household “to-do-lists”, homework, writing a book, you name it…).

So…, if you want to get results, clear the cobwebs from your mind, and free up your time, go get FreeMind and Bob’s video tutorial instruction.  I personally call it Targeted Free Mind where you Turn Tangents Into Success.

To your Success!

Think about it.  I know I certainly did some soul-searching when I read the following in the Birmingham News this morning:

“Taxes Expected To Rise with National Debt, Aging”

- If you’re grumbling. about the size of your tax bill this year, brace yourself.  Many financial advisers predict that tax rates are going to rise to cover the escalating. burden of an aging population and the federal debt. By KATHERINE REYNOLDS LEWIS Newhouse News Service WASHINGTON

This was the headline and the article’s lead-in first paragraph.  Obviously, it is an attention getter.   Some additional eye-openers in Ms. Lewis’ article include:

“Each American’s share of the federal government’s unfunded obligations amounts to $175,000 - comparable to a home mortgage with no collateral, said Stuart Butler, a vice president at the Heritage Foundation.”

“To cover the gap between expected revenue and the cost of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits through 2Q50, income tax rates would have to almost double, according to a July 2007 analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.”

“Of course, the government probably would reduce promised benefits and increase payroll taxes rather than solely boosting the income tax. Still, it seems likely many Americans eventually will refer to the current income tax structure as “the good old days.” And who exactly :   would pay higher taxes?”

Ms. Lewis later suggested a partial solution…

“Take a long-term approach and save aggressively.”   She clarified that by referencing…

“People need to set aside as much as they, can,”  said Tom Papanikolaou, chief operating officer of Pension Builders and Consultants in Cleveland.

Yes, taking a long-term approach and saving aggressively makes sense.   The issue is that most of us don’t have extra funds to set aside to pay our normal daily expenses, much less, pay a burdening tax bill.  Duhhh….

So, now what?  To me, the answer is as simple as going to your nearest mirror and looking into it.   There you see the answer…it’s YOU.   You are the answer to taking a long-term approach and saving aggressively.  The mirror shows you the solution each and every day!

Of course, the mirror cannot hand over financial well-being,  however,  it does show you where to find the solution.  The solution is between your ears!  It is your skills, your experience(s), your hobbies, your knowledge, your ideas that you possess.   All you need to do is to share those possessions with others and your financial concerns will end,  ..and a new future will begin.

It is up to you to Take control of YOU!
