Priorities

Dear Sunrider Business Leader,

I often ask people, what are your top priorities, or a list of the top most important things in your life? I remember one lady who listed having more free time with her family was the top priority. With work, family obligations, etc. it seemed that her children never received enough of her time. She wanted to build a Sunrider network to create the type of income that would allow this to happen.

So I asked her how much time she spent last week on this number one priority? She thought about it and said, "None." This is too often the answer. We tend to get so stuck in our current activities that while we want these other things, we don't make the changes necessary which will allow it to happen.

So ask yourself, what are my priorities? Am I too stuck in my current lifestyle to allow the changes to happen?   How much time and attention do I have available to respond to the new things that will come into my life? What personal things am I willing to give up doing so I have the time?

Every person has the same 24 hours to spend each day.  You are currently spending that 24 hours somewhere doing something.  In order to have something different in the future, you have to spend your time differently than you are now.  If you shift your disposable time to your three top priorties, profound positive changes will happen in your life.

Sincerely,

Paul Jensen
