From the Vault: More than average!

J. Paul Getty (American Oil Executive and Philanthropist) once said:

No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or get rich in business by being a conformist.

I firmly believe that if you do what everyone else does, you will only get the results everyone else does! Do what others DON’T DO! Now that doesn’t mean doing stupid things or changing for the sake of change— it means looking for ways to do things better.

Today, write down a list of 5 of the things that you feel you are wasting time on. Choose one and try to work out how you can minimise the waste and make things more efficent. For example, if you, like so many people, feel your commute to work is boring and takes too long, try turning off the radio and listening to an educational podcast or audio program. Or, maybe you can chat with your boss about starting and leaving work an hour earlier each day to avoid the traffic.

Instead of just ‘putting up with things’ like everyone else, try making some small changes and become more than the average!
