As you read this I'm in Las Vegas for Ali Brown's Shine event. I'm not much of a gambler, but I do love Vegas shows. I usually catch a Cirque du Soleil, a concert or a comedy show so I'm hoping to see something new this time around.

Hey, it's me Roxy the Mouseketeer. Hope you had a great Halloween. I really hate it when my mom puts these hats on me. Good thing I have a system to quickly shake it off. You see I've figured out what I need to do to go from where I am to where I want to be (that would be hat free in case you were wondering). I thought you might like to find out my system so join my mom on Wednesday, November 11 www.processprodigy.com/theformula.
| Eliminate and Delegate |
Thoughts from Sandye Linnetz, Systems Coach, Process ProdigyToo much to do and not enough hours to do it? Perhaps it's time to eliminate and delegate. The most effective systems we can put into place involve the elimination of unnecessary or duplicated tasks and the delegation to others of those tasks that don't really merit our personal time and attention. So often we take the attitude that "WE" have to do it ourselves; that we have to be in every information loop. Well, time to rethink. The all to frequent concern; that it is too expensive to delegate, is about to be wiped off the map of success. First of all, what is your goal? Is it just about making money? Or, is the money your means to an end - having the resources to live the life of your dreams? Assuming that the goal for most - if not all of us - is to live the "good life", consider what your time and peace of mind is worth to you. How much would you pay to be stress free and actually enjoy what you are doing? Deferred-life, i.e. retirement and the good life we long for, should not be something we put off for the future - BE THERE NOW! In his book, "The 4-Hour Work Week", Timothy Ferris writes about giving up the old rules of what he describes as SLAVE to SAVE to RETIRE. He says that you can have it all RIGHT NOW by shifting your thinking to the way the "new rich" (the NR, as he refers to them) think, and by doing what they do. It's all about elimination, delegation and outsourcing your business and your life. He actually gives us a "blue- print" with step-by-step details and sources. Amazing, truly amazing, and so possible. Ferris recommends the "low-information" diet (to eliminate unnecessary extra "noise" and distraction) and suggests that we cultivate selective ignorance rather than selective listening. He also favors mega outsourcing - for your business and your personal life. He really got my attention with this idea. Ferris concludes that if you figure out the value of your time and factor in the freedom you gain, it is almost always better to outsource. And, he shows you how - even includes specific referrals!
