The mark of the superior thinker is his or her ability to accurately predict the consequences of doing or not doing something. The potential consequences of any task or activity are the key determinants of how important it really is to you and to your company. This way of evaluating the significance of a task is how you determine what your next frog really is.
Long Time Perspective
Doctor Edward Banfield of Harvard University, after more than 50 years of research, concluded that "long-time perspective" is the most accurate single predictor of upward social and economic mobility in America. Long time perspective turns out to be more important than family background, education, race, intelligence, connections or virtually any other single factor in determining your success in life and at work.
Your attitude toward time, your "time horizon," has an enormous impact on your behavior and your choices. People who take the long view of their lives and careers always seem to make much better decisions about their time and activities than people who give very little thought to the future.
Think About Your Future
Successful people have a clear future orientation. They think five, ten and twenty years out into the future. They analyze their choices and behaviors in the present to make sure that they are consistent with the long-term future that they desire.
In your work, having a clear idea of what is really important to you in the long-term makes it much easier for you to make better decisions about your priorities in the short-term.
Determine the Consequences
By definition, something that is important has long-term potential consequences. Something that is unimportant has few or no long-term potential consequences. Before starting on anything, you should always ask yourself, "What are the potential consequences of doing or not doing this task?"
The clearer you are about your future intentions, the greater influence that clarity will have on what you do in the moment. With a clear long-term vision, you are much more capable of evaluating an activity in the present and to assure that it is consistent with where you truly want to end up.
Make It A Top Priority
If there is a task or activity with large potential positive consequences, make it a top priority and get started on it immediately. If there is something that can have large potential negative consequences if it is not done quickly and well, that becomes a top priority as well. Whatever your frog is, resolve to gulp it down first thing.
Keep Motivated
Motivation requires motive. The greater the positive potential impact that an action or behavior of yours can have on your life, once you define it clearly, the more motivated you will be to overcome procrastination and get it done quickly.
Thinking continually about the potential consequences of your choices, decisions and behaviors is one of the very best ways to determine you true priorities in your work and personal life.
Action Exercises
Review your list of tasks, activities and projects regularly. Continually ask yourself, "Which one project or activity, if I did it in an excellent and timely fashion, would have the greatest positive impact on my life?"
Whatever it is that can help you the most, set it as a goal, make a plan to achieve it and go to work on your plan immediately. Remember the wonderful words of Goethe, "Just begin and the mind grows heated; continue, and the task will be completed!"

Advancing Your Career
As your career advances, you move along the scale from employee, to supervisor to manager and finally, to leader. Managers, and some leaders, engage in what is called transactional leadership, the deployment and management of people and resources to get results.
Arouse Emotion In Others
However, at the highest end of the leadership scale, we come to what is called "transformational leadership." Transformational leadership is defined as leadership that arouses emotion, that taps into the emotional and spiritual resources of an organization. Transformational leadership empowers people to greatly exceed their previous levels of accomplishment.
Make People Feel Terrific
Empowerment is the key. Transformational leaders are those who can elicit extraordinary performance from ordinary men and women. The superior leader is like a catalyst in a chemical process that causes the other ingredients to work together in a superior fashion.
A Key Function of Leadership
Empowerment as a key function of leadership becomes even more important as the work force becomes dominated by members of the Generation X. These highly individualistic men and women are increasingly seeking higher meaning and purpose in their careers. They are not impressed by authority or hierarchy. If they don’t get the satisfaction they are seeking from their work, they will go somewhere else. And the better they are at what they do, the more readily they will leave one job for another.
Provide the Emotional Glue
Transactional leadership is essential to getting the job done but transformational leadership is what provides the emotional glue that causes organizations and the people in them to excel.
Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do immediately to become a transformational leader and empower your people.
First, get excited about your work. The more excited and committed you are to your work, the more excited and committed will be the people around you. The leader always sets the tone for the department or organization.
Second, continually encourage and praise the people who work for you. The better you make people feel about themselves and their work, the more empowered they will feel and the more committed they will be to your company. Written By Brian Tracy.

One of the best ways for connecting with people is through BNI…
BNI (Business Network International) is a business networking organisation whose sole purpose is to provide its members with an effective framework for the creation of new business through referrals.
BNI was founded 24 years ago, and was introduced in Australia in 1997. Today BNI in Australia has 3,800 members in 180 BNI Chapters. BNI has a presence in over 40 countries and is the largest organisation of its kind in the world with over 110,000 members and 5,300 BNI Chapters.
Last year BNI Members earned in excess of $70 million of new business through BNI.
What BNI provides
BNI provides members with a strategy to generate business referrals through a structured approach to networking activities. Key elements of the BNI System include:
- A group made up of 20 plus BNI Members in non-competing business categories that operate a “BNI Chapter”;
- A structured and professional 90 minute BNI meeting Agenda where businesses market and promote themselves to each other, and also to invited businesses;
- One-to-one meetings where members develop an understanding each others’ businesses and develop strong business relationships;
- Team work that results in each member promoting each others’ businesses based on our “givers gain” philosophy. No money changes hands between members unless goods and/or services are bought/sold;
- A BNI trained Leadership Team formed of BNI members that operate the BNI Chapter in accordance with best practices established by BNI; and
- A non-competitive environment where only one business category is represented in each BNI Chapter.
BNI provides training in the BNI system, and continually develops and refines the policies and procedures that govern the operations of BNI Chapters.
BNI is a business networking organisation with over 5,300 active chapters and 110,000 members in over 40 countries, it is the most successful business referral organisation of its kind. Last year members in Australia generated in excess of $70 million in new business referrals through their participation in BNI. In that same period BNI worldwide passed over 4.9 million referrals representing over A$2.25 billion of new business. Would you like to participate in a BNI Chapter and increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%?
