HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU

Hey....TIME WARRIOR is now available in audiobook format!

     The violence in the words "time warrior" was intended.  For although the work you do can be slow and easy, you must pull out your sword ahead of time to carve out periods of space and silence.

     Devoted time.

     It's your war is against interruption and distraction. Because if you can bring gentle sustained focus to a task, you'll never regret the results.

     As my friend and colleague Dusan Djukich says in his marvelous book, Straight Line Leadership, we stop.  We start something and then we stop.  When Dusan coaches his clients his recommendation is this: stop stopping.

     The more space we open up for ourselves the more problems we solve. The faster we achieve our goals.  The great philosopher Voltaire observed, "No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking."  

     The key word in Voltaire's observation is "sustained."  We don't sustain. We don't take long, thoughtful, sustained walks. We don't sit quietly in space and solitude until a problem disappears (which it would) because we are too busy. 

     Or, we think we are. Same thing.

     We think we're busy, especially today, with the way our "phones" hook us up to the whole nagging planet. We are so connected now! We never have to be alone again!

     This is good?

     In most ways, it is. It's fun and exciting when I sit in my Arizona office and get an urgent text from a client in Scotland. The phone beeps and I grab it and check it.

     But what happens when I do that?  I interrupt my meditative train of thought and it might have been a train that was taking me to a HUGE breakthrough solution to a major challenge.  Beep, beep, beep!  And I stop.  I am on to something beautiful if only I would continue, but I stop.

     Are you a good piano player?  No?  But you took lessons, once, didn't you?  Yes?  What happened?

     "I stopped."

     Have you ever looked back on your life and wondered what would have happened if you hadn't stopped?  Piano, a foreign language, studying a certain subject, a distant love, anything.

     Management and efficiency studies in the work place tell us that one hour of uninterrupted time is worth three hours of time that is constantly interrupted.

    Or, as the old saying says, winners focus, losers spray.

    So the warrior element in how you relate to time is how violent a swordsman you are going to be before your day begins.  How much uninterrupted time will you carve out for yourself?  Will you be a true time warrior?  Because if you will, you'll love your timeless time. You'll be amazed what you can create when time not an issue.

     I travel differently now than I used to. When I go on a speaking trip I build extra time and space into my journey.  In the past, it was different.  I raced around like most everyone else, booking flights that left right after my speech was over.  Running through airports, chattering on my phone in taxicabs, coaching people on the fly! It was a chaotic storm of a life. It was frantic and even unfulfilling, always unfinished and incomplete. I was racing against time, trying to get ahead of myself, trying to break the sound barrier so that I could get into my own future.

     Do you know people who live that way? They try to live faster than the speed of sound. And then they wonder why they never hear anybody.

     What couldn't they hear? They were going so fast they couldn't hear the universe whispering to them. What was the universe saying?  The universe was saying "yes" to whatever they might ask for.  

*     *     *     *     *     *     *
   "Some people have learned to live by keeping themselves under the constant threat of poverty, abandonment, and self-hatred if they don't perform up to whatever standard they have decided upon.  The problem with this motivational strategy is simple: If you keep putting a gun to your head, at some point you're going to want to pull the trigger."

~  Michael Neill

     One of the most illustrious graduates of this school is Michael Neill.

 

"To bankrupt a fool, give him information."

~  Nassim Nicholas Taleb

     People make the mistake of stuffing their heads with words and numbers. They pile in more and more information hoping that sooner or later they'll have enough information to finally succeed at something.

    But information only goes so far…and if you get too overloaded with it, you can go bankrupt learning to succeed instead of going out there and succeeding. 

    Some people spenf their whole lives preparing to live.

    Which is why the programs life coaches offer always have a lot of action in them.  Transformation works better than information, and you can only transform through practice.

    Author/coach Michael Neill and I recently co-presented a six month seminar for 22 people from all over the world. It was called "Financially Fearless." During one of the last sessions, we passed out the above quote from Nassim Taleb on how to bankrupt a fool.

    We wanted to draw a dramatic distinction between information, a gluttony of which can bankrupt you, and transformation, which will leave you leaner and stronger. Most of the people in the room were coaches by profession. They were in the business of delivering transformation, so they got the point faster than most people would.

     I work with coaches every day. They have become my professional coaching focus. I love the work they do in people's lives. My role in coaching them is to help them build strong practices and make a good living so they can go on serving people in the profound way they do.

    Because it's hard to be good at coaching people to succeed if you are not successful yourself. You don't have a lot of real world experience to draw on. It's mostly theory. You mostly chat.

    Most coaches are so busy helping others reach their goals and live their dreams that they neglect their own financial strength. They forget to set up a strong system for growing their practice. That's where the work I do comes in. I've done a number of coaching prosperity schools where I help coaches gain a mastery level of business prosperity. They learn to acquire clients easily.

   In my school, there is no information. 

   Why bankrupt these coaches?

   It's transformation or nothing.

     My old college professor Bill Roecker (on the right) is now a fishing coach. He takes people fishing and coaches them on how to make a big catch. He's the happy guy on the right.....better than being locked in a classroom with a student like me.

     Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish (a good coaching session is really a fishing lesson) and he eats for a lifetime.
   
     I just remembered a few variations on the "teach a man to fish" concept that I've always liked:

"Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. 
Teach a man to fish; and you will not have to listen to his
incessant whining about how hungry he is."

*     *     *     *     *     *
    "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. 
Teach a man to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks."

*     *     *     *     *     *
     "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. 
Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime. 
Teach a man to sell fish and he eats steak."

Couldn't have raced this year without all of your spuport through my dark times. You guys made it all happen for me. I'm in for 2012. Is there a better all round team out there? I don't see it. Team NEMBA is not a bike shop we don't have fancy kits or any big sponsors. Just a bunch of regulars that love to ride, race, and have fun. I think we got a NEMBA banquet table reserved for us this year. Trike Race starts off 2012!

Real Cool report Carl. Great event and done with great team mmerebs. I was bummed when I found the Monster from Bethel ME took 2 minutes out of me. But, then again he took 3 minutes out of steve on lap 1, 2+ minutes on lap 4 as well Actually he took time out of all of us throughout the day. Not bad for a guy that works on a ship 2 months on and 2 months off. This must have been during his 2 months off. Great company from the Racer X guys as well. The hot spaghetti and meatballs helped to hit the spot after my last lap. From my calculations we were in 1st place from lap 7 to 10. Next year we do the normal rotation and take the top prize.

The values to order a property [url=http://www.monsterbeatsbyddre.com/]beats by dre[/url] beats by dre:http://www.monsterbeatsbyddre.com/ inside the brand new Hobsonville Place suburb have been unveiled * and are generally high priced. And because the homes [url=http://www.monsterbeatsbyddre.com/]Monster Beats Headphones[/url] Monster Beats Headphones:http://www.monsterbeatsbyddre.com/ have been constructed on the nearly all stamp, brand-new masters will expect a higher conclude accomplish inside a well set up house. 1 expected feature will probably be very fast online connectivity through the dwelling [url=http://www.monsterbeatsbyddre.com/]beats by dre[/url] beats by dre:http://www.monsterbeatsbyddre.com/ , towards the online. Moving forward, these online connectivity will likely be likely all brand-new property owners and corresponding towards rise in electrical wiring associated with homes intended for electrical power a lot less than Century in the past. The particular Hobsonville Area Firm (HLC) recognises that and in venture together with Vector are busy selling Top speed Much needed dietary fibre for your Home. Nonetheless, I've validated of which just what exactly this specific essentially indicates will be the Very fast Fibre will end with a container in your home ( space ) which usually does not mean high-speed gain access to inside your household!

We've informally questioned individuals question them what 'High Quickness Fibre For a Door' usually means and also feel routinely informed it indicates you have top speed throughout the house. A HLC are choosing the particular Bistro to show the technology. 'Visitors can also be very happy to go through the entire pressure with fiber on the entry know-how that can provide speedy internet access. (August The year 2010 e-zine)Wi. With all the current different thoughts along with articles hitting theaters through the HLC, it is not difficult to check out why possibilities people could believe they're the purchase of a present day attached property. Your HLC know 'we claimed plugged into your current entry, not really through the entire home' and I can't support bring to mind Monthly bill Clinton's renowned 'I would not currently have erotic relations' dodge. For being sensible, I think a HLC currently have purely have missed value of certainly not electric your dream house adequately, instead of try and dupe homeowners by implying a huge ePipeline in houses, in addition to giving you any trickle.

Think of the have an effect on people. A sophisticated household will have your core gadget (Console, family computer and so forth) out of which to mode tracks along with video clips with gadgets from the property. They shall be actively playing online games with just about every, skyping good friends on the training video contact, online the net and perhaps seeing atmosphere via the world-wide-web (creating down the road : tellingly not Harley-davidson since current internet connection connections will not likely help HD). Some individuals will likely be working from home and have absolutely additional ICT involves. The IT demands into the future can even increase the fill. A house hard-wired in order to steady stream internet access to every place in addition sorts the particular anchor for you to permit each room hook up with 1 another. However, instant gain access to will probably be easily bottlenecked. There will be an area for wi-fi, to guide the actual central source ( blank ) but it surely must not be your spine.

Specialists one of several Hobsonville Level general contractors which said 'they'll end up being plenty of stores, and quite a few people today use cellular anyway'. A HLC defined of which 'There is no prescriptive need with regards to the central electric because accountability rests using the designers to be a usual perhaps the residence construction method... HLC are working collectively to make certain marketing in the home level is part from the supply strategy. Wi

Which isn't sufficient. The HLC possess fixed style and design criteria for the building contractors to add in this kind of attributes as being a rainwater h2o tank enthusiast for use for lavatories and many others, in lessening the environmental result. The point is, a HLC have the mandate to produce broadband electrical wiring a need within a property, when there is the need. The Government contains the is going to, and they are spending huge for you to jiggle outside high speed broadband gain access to, it's the same odd that a corporation set up underneath the federal government usually are prioritising rainfall mineral water holding tanks more than a spinal column of cabling and also sites on top of a home. What about contractors? Well, they may be as soon as the most affordable selection and definitely will inform you wireless is fine - nonetheless I am sure will probably be thrilled to 'upgrade' your top-of-the-range house for someone else price tag.

Our prime quickness fibre then has purely transferred this flask the neck and throat in the water piping cpa affiliate networks along with geneva chamonix transfers, for your home. Once you transfer to and then try to utilize the new volume, you are going to come to be frustrated. And then there will likely be a direct impact while you come to sell the house, competing with (obtaining i hope acquired) completely hard wired Hobsonville Level buildings. A recently available Herald document sometimes sharpened to properties in the states staying worthy of 5-10K far more ( blank ) only for currently being hard wired to get internet connection. Your options then is to bump into your walls and place while in the ethernet cable tv.

Where to from here? Occur HLC ( space ) provide on the implied promise of high speed broadband connections. Transform it into a style prerequisite to cable television all of public, family along with base locations. It is exactly what the us government wants. It is precisely what house owners require.
