Increase Your Earnings 1000%!….By Brian Tracy.
Here’s an exercise for you; imagine that it’s possible for you to ear n ten times your current annual wage. If you’re ear ning $25,000, imagine for a moment that it’s possible for you to ear n $250,000, a 1000% increase.
Believe In Yourself
The first reaction of most people to that exercise is to smile briefly and then to begin thinking about why it isn’t possible. One man said to me, "If you knew how many years it’s taken for me to get to what I’m ear ning today you wouldn’t be suggesting that I could ear n ten times as much."
There Are No Excuses
Mark Twain once wrote that there are a thousand excuses for every failure but never a good reason. The tragedy of the average American is that whereas his or her main preoccupation seems to be money, or the lack thereof, the average person has the inherent potential to ear n far more than he or she is doing currently.
Can Someone Be 10x Better?
Is the manager ear ning $250,000 per year ten times as smart as the manager ear ning $25,000? 10 times as experienced? Does he or she work 10 times harder? Of course not. None of these are physically or mentally possible, but there are people in every business ear ning many times more than others with the same average age, experience and intelligence.
I.Q. Doesn’t Really Matter
In fact, a few years ago in New York, a thousand men and women were selected at random and tested for I.Q. Between the one having the highest I.Q. in this sample and the one with the lowest, there was a difference of only 2 1/2 times. But between the person ear ning the most, who by the way, was not the one with the highest I.Q. and the one ear ning the least, who was not the one with the lowest I.Q., there was a difference of 100X in inc ome.
Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do to start increasing your earnings:
First, identify the highest ear ning, most successful people in your field and find out what it is that they are doing differently from others who aren’t doing as well. Resolve to copy them every day.
Second, set a goal to double your earnings over the next two or three years and then figure out what you’ll have to do to achieve it. Get started!

5 Questions And Answers By Brian Tracy.
Question: How do you stay motivated and succeed in our economic state and in the face of adversity?
Answer: There are several keys to self-motivation. First, you must have clear, specific, written goals with plans or lists of activities to accomplish them.
Second, you must make a “To-Do List” each day, preferably made up the night before.
Third, you must review your list and ask, “If I could only accomplish one activity on this list before I was called out of town for a month, which one activity would I want to be sure to complete?”
You then begin on your most important task and discipline yourself to concentrate on it single-mindedly until it is complete.
The way to stay motivated is for you to keep busy working at the most important things you can do each day to accomplish your most important goals.
You cannot control external factors or the future, but you can control yourself. When you take full control of your own mind and activities, you will naturally feel positive, focused and self-motivated.
Question: What differentiates successful people from unsuccessful people?
Answer: This answer has filled thousands of books and articles over the years. When you use the 80/20 rule and apply it to people, you will find that the top 20% of people in any society, those who enjoy 80% of the rewards, have certain characteristics in common:
1. They know who they are – their values, talents, abilities, desires, strengths and weaknesses, and they are very honest with themselves;
2. They know what they want – they have clear, written goals with plans for their accomplishment that they work on every day;
3. They accept 100% responsibility for themselves and their lives, and for everything that happens to them. They refuse to make excuses, complain or blame other people for problems in their lives. Instead of making excuses, they make progress;
4. Top people are continuous learners – they read, listen to audio programs, watch educational videos and never stop getting better at what they do;
5. Top people are optimists – they look for the good in every situation. They look for the lesson in every problem or setback. They take a constructive approach to life;
6. Top people are persistent. They make a decision, in advance, that they will never give up, no matter what happens.
Question: How important is my “mindset” on the path to success?
Answer: Earl Nightingale once wrote that “Attitude” is the most important word in the language. Your attitude is the way you approach any situation or problem, either positive or negative.
The most profound truth in human history is that “You will become what you think about – most of the time.”
What is it that you think about most of the time? If you think of something positive, constructive, uplifting or happy, you will be a positive and focused person.
Top people think about what they want, and how to get it, most of the time. If one thing doesn’t work, they try something else.
More than anything else, the busier you are working in the pursuit of your goals, the more energy and imagination you will have, you will be more positive and focused. You will feel in complete control of yourself and your life as you get so busy every day working on achieving your most important goals.
Question: How do you beat procrastination and execute your own potential to perform at your best?
Answer: In my book Eat That Frog! I explain how to overcome procrastination and get more things done faster.
In its simplest terms, the way to overcome procrastination is for you to make a list of everything that you have to do in the coming day and then set priorities on that list.
Identify the one activity or task that is more valuable and important than any other. You then discipline yourself to start on that task first thing, and concentrate on that task until it is 100% complete.
When you develop the habit of starting on your most important task and completing it at the beginning of each day, you will double, triple and increase your productivity as much as four or five times. You will get more things done faster and move ahead more rapidly in your life than with any other single technique.
Question: What are the initial steps one should take once a person has identified a goal?
Answer: Once you have identified a goal that you want to achieve, you should write it down in clear, specific language, in the present tense, as if it had already been achieved.
For example, you would write, “I earn $ XXX, XXX by (Specific date).
Identify the problems and difficulties you will have to overcome to achieve this goal. Why aren’t you already earning this amount of money?
Identify the additional knowledge and skills that you will need to achieve this goal. To achieve something that you have never achieved before, you must master a skill that you have never mastered before. What is it?
Identify the people, groups and organizations whose help and cooperation you require to achieve your goal. No one does it alone. Whose help will you require, and what will you give in return to make them want to help you?
Make a plan, a list of all the things that you can think of that you could do to achieve your goal and then organize your plan by sequence and priority:
Sequence: What do you have to do first, second and so on? Time management is your ability to choose the sequence of events;
Priority: What are the most important things you can do on your list to achieve your most important goal? All of life is the setting of priorities.
Finally, take action. Do something immediately. And do something every single day that moves you toward the achievement of your most important goal.

Exclusive Invitation…
Announcing A Live 1 OFF “Eat That Frog” Training Workshop In Port Hedland, Western Australia…
The Golden Hour
You become what you think about most of the time. And the most important part of each day is what you think about at the beginning of that day.
Start Your Day Right
Take 30 minutes each morning to sit quietly and to reflect on your goals. You’ll find when you read the biographies and autobiographies of successful men and women that almost everyone of them began their upward trajectory to success when they begin getting up early in the morning and spending time with themselves.
Feed Your Mind With Positive Ideas
This is called the Golden Hour. The first hour sets the tone for the day. The things that you do in the first hour prepare your mind and set you up for the entire day. During the first thirty to sixty minutes, take time to think and review your plans for the future.
Use Your Quiet Time Effectively
Here are four things that you can do during that quiet time in the morning. Number one is to review your plans for accomplishing your goals and change your plans if necessary.
Number two is think of better ways to accomplish your goals. As an exercise, assume that the way you’re going about it is totally wrong and imagine going about it totally differently. What would you do different from what you’re doing right now?
Number three, reflect on the valuable lessons that you have learned and are learning as you move toward your goals.
Number four, calmly visualize your goal as a reality. Close your eyes, relax, smile, and see your goal as though it were already a reality. Rewrite your major goals everyday in the present tense. Rewrite them as though they already existed. Write "I earn X dollars." "I have a net worth of X." "I weigh a certain number of pounds." This exercise of writing and rewriting your goals everyday is one of the most powerful you will ever learn. Fasten Your Seatbelt
Your life will start to take off at such a speed that you’ll have to put on your seatbelt. Remember, the starting point for achieving financial success is the development of an attitude of unshakable confidence in yourself and in your ability to reach your goals. Everything we’ve talked about is a way of building up and developing your belief system until you finally reach the point where you are absolutely convinced that nothing can stop you from achieving what you set out to achieve. Everything Counts
No one starts out with this kind of an attitude, but you can develop it using the law of accumulation. Everything counts. No efforts are ever lost. Every extraordinary accomplishment in the result of thousands of ordinary accomplishments that no one recognizes or appreciates. The greatest challenge of all is for you to concentrate your thinking single-mindedly on your goal and by the law of attraction, you will, you must inevitably draw into your life the people, circumstances and opportunities you need to achieve your goals. Become A Living Magnet
Once you’ve mastered yourself and your thinking, you will become a living magnet for ideas and opportunities to become wealthy. It’s worked for me and for every successful person I know. It will work for you if you’ll begin today, now, this very minute, to think and talk about your dreams and goals as though they were already a reality. When you change your thinking, you will change your life. You will put yourself firmly on the road to financial independence. Action Exercises
Now, here are two things you can do every single day to keep your mind focused on your financial goals:
First, get up every morning a little bit earlier and plan your day in advance. Take some time to think about your goals and how you can best achieve them. This sets the tone for the whole day.
Second, reflect on the valuable lessons you are learning each day as you work toward your goals. Be prepared to correct your course and adjust your actions. Be absolutely convinced that you are moving rapidly toward your goals, no matter what happens temporarily on the outside. Just hang in there!
At Last Announcing…Brisbane “Eat That Frog” Event
The "Eat That Frog" 1 day training workshop is the most popular time-management system in the world (available in 27 languages) written by Mr. Brian Tracy.
Too Much to Do, Too Little Time…
The most common form of stress that we experience is the feeling of being overwhelmed with far too much to do and having too little time to do it in. In fact, "time poverty" is the biggest single problem facing most managers in Australia today. We simply do not have enough time to fulfill all our responsibilities. Because of budget limitations, staff cutbacks, downsizing, and competitive pressures, individual managers are forced to take on more and more work, all of which appears to be indispensable to the smooth functioning of our company or department.
Become an Expert
The solution to this problem of work overload is for you to become an expert on time management. There is probably no other skill that you can learn that will give you a "bigger bang for the buck" than to become extremely knowledgeable and experienced in using time management practices.
Be Open to New Ideas
The most foolish manager of all is either the manager who feels that he has no time to learn about time management or, even worse, the manager who, while being overwhelmed with work, feels that he already knows all that he needs to know about the subject.
Do you feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything you want and need to do?
Would you like to accomplish ALL of your work or business goals, spend quality time with family and friends, pursue a hobby or interest, and still have a few minutes to relax?
The reality is that you have more time than you think. What you need is a reliable way to manage that time more effectively.
"Eat That Frog!"Enroll Today for my live Eat That Frog Workshop
The fact is that you can study time management and take time management courses for your entire business life and you will still never learn everything you need to know to get the most out of yourself while doing your job in the most efficient way. The Keys to Time Management
The two indispensable keys to time management are:1) the ability to set priorities; and 2) the ability to concentrate single-mindedly on one thing at a time. Since there is never enough time to do everything that needs to be done, you must be continually setting priorities on your activities. Perhaps the very best question that you can memorize and repeat, over and over, is, "what is the most valuable use of my time right now?" The Best Question of All
This question, "what is the most valuable use of my time right now?" will do more to keep you on track, hour by hour, than any other single question in the list of time management strategies.
The natural tendency for all of us is to major in minors and to give in to the temptation to clear up small things first. After all, small things are easier and they are often more fun than the big, important things that represent the most valuable use of your time.
Start With Your Top TasksHowever, the self-discipline of organizing your work and focusing on your highest value tasks is the starting point of getting your time under control and lowering your stress levels. Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do immediately to get your time under control.
First, make a decision today to become an expert on time management. Read the books, listen to the audio programs, and take a time management course. Then, practice, practice, practice every day until you master time management skills.
Second, set clear priorities on your work each day, before you begin. Then, discipline yourself to start on your most important task and stay at that until it is complete. This will relieve much of your stress immediately.
This international bestselling book and workshop has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people world-wide.
