I'm working on launching some info products and I've been studying, taking notes and creating tools based on your articles (well over 30). I resonate with your message of vision and strategy. Honestly, I heard most of the statistics before but they never kicked my butt in gear because I was unclear on my vision. The most significant thing for me in the videos was when you said "be fine with it". I'm a serious all or nothing perfectionist, so I only end up doing what I do really well and analyzing the rest for embarrassing amounts of time. Yes, it sucks for me and my lifestyle or lack there of, shows it. I've been keeping my 'Why's" at the forefront of my mind and I'm building momentum, but the idea that I can be fine with what doesn't get done and that good is good enough, directly target my primary problem. I will add them to my list of "Why's". All of your info is great advice but some of it is so critical to problems I've been having my whole unsuccessful entrepreneurial life. I have faith that what I am learning from you for free will help me actually have a Christmas (which wasn' on the horizon). I look forward to being able to purchase some of your products and services, not just for the awesome value I know they will provide, but to say thank you in a more substantial way.

My Opinion Of Your Best Teachings Mindset for Mastery Know what you want to use time for. Focus thought on your use of time in relation to your goals. A well-developed sense of how much time is needed for the things you seek to do and achieve. From "what", to "how" and "why". Know how to outsmart your weaknesses.

I really agree with the area about "Taking Charge of Your Attention". I have been on a mission for about 3 months now, to stay focused for 40 to 50 minute chunks. It is SO hard. I am constantly wanting to split focus and distract to the things around me. Little by little it's getting easier with the help of a timer (my iPhone), which was a crucial, otherwise I'd always be checking the clock. (Am I done yet?) Another thing that really helped is to completely clear out everything in my work/creative environment that was not fresh and current, because all the "stuff" pulled at my attention bringing me into the past or future. Every day I start with a fresh canvas and have only the things I am working TODAY or this week around me. It helps me drill deeper and steep into extreme focus on the task at hand, which always results in higher quality work. I don't know if this seems extreme, but I am very sensitive to things in my environment pulling on my energy and derailing me. Wanted to share that in case others are also and just not aware of it. GREAT work as always Paul. I appreciate all that you share! Susanne Paul,
LOVE your work and thanks for these gems!
