me and say 'I don't have enough to do.'
Everyone I talk to is busy, busy, busy.
But I also hear 'I don't get enough done' about
as often as I hear how busy people are.
So if everyone is busy - why do some people
have tons of clients, run incredible businesses
and make great incomes while others barely get
by?
It boils down to activity vs achievement.
Some people stay busy. Others get stuff done.
And as my buddy Dax Moy says...'You Get Paid For
Done.'
A couple of guys I marvel at when it comes to getting
stuff done are Craig Ballantyne and Zach Even-Esh.
One after another, Craig knocks down article, newsletter,
product and project as reliably as clockwork.
While a lot of people struggle to get one product done,
he's pretty much a machine at getting things finished.
Zach is incredible...he still teaches full time, but still
runs a super-successful facility, holds certification events
and stays on top of a membership site, blog and his
products.
These guys are both incredibly smart, driven and invest
in their education...but I think the real deciding factor that
allows them to accomplish so much is that when they start
something - they finish it.
Man, does that sound simple or what?
But as simple as it sounds, I can't tell you how many
times someone has told me about an incredible project
they are starting or have plans to start.
I'd guess about 3% of them ever get finished.
So if you want to separate yourself from the crowd,
measure yourself by what you accomplish instead of
thinking about how busy you are.
If you focus on getting things done instead
of getting distracted by the next big idea
- you're destined for success.
