When I graduated high school, I received a partial scholarship
to study at a prestigious Chicago Art School. At nights and on
the weekends I worked as a Firefighter/EMT, which gave me a
unique perspective on TIME and how fragile life can be. I saw
things at the age of 18 that most people will never see in their
entire lifetime.I watched people come into this world, I witnessed people take
their last breath and I saw everything in between. I helped
people in the aftermath of accidents, illness and violent
tragedy and I learned a valuable lesson I built my life
around... DO NOT SQUANDER TIME.Time is a precious resource. Time is LIFE.A lot of people don't know that I left Art school after 1 year
and started my first business out of my tiny bedroom of the home
in the ghetto I grew up in. It's not a glamorous beginning, in
fact it was brutal, but my circumstances of living in poverty
certainly provided me with more than enough motivation to
succeed.I was in my 20's. I had zero capital. It was either sink or
swim.I learned very quickly when everything is riding on your
shoulders, you live or die based upon how you spend your time.You might think that's too black and white, or too intense, but
that's the philosophy that guided my decisions minute to minute,
day to day.That clear cut philosophy is what enabled me to earn more in a
month than I previously earned in a year.That clear cut philosophy is what led me to develop a laser like
focus and generate quick income, starting with only $100.That philosophy is what enabled me to double my income and then
double it again, and again and again. By the time I was 30 years
old, I was a self made millionaire and was living in a custom
built dream home I helped design. In a short time I went from a
crime ridden ghetto, to living in a sanctuary like paradise,
surrounded by a nature preserve, complete with my very own creek
and backyard putting green. I went from living among thugs and
drugs to living among millionaires.People always want to know how I was able to achieve such a
dramatic transformation so quickly.Here are some of the secrets and strategies that guide my life:If you want to make rapid changes in your life, you must arrange
and design your life so that your GOALS and DREAMS are at the
FOREFRONT of your days, instead of them being an afterthought.My Goals direct my thoughts.My Goals direct my days.You have got to let your GOALS, dreams and visions become so
real and near to you that you feel them in your soul. My goals
live in every cell of my body, they are within every breath I
take. I integrate my goals so clearly into my existence, I
cannot be separated from them by any outside event, person or
circumstance.I believe I am guided and if I do not achieve my goals as I
envisioned them, I will receive something much, much better than
anything I could have ever dreamed of.I understand a positive mental attitude is key, especially when
things go wrong.I visualize my Goals constantly and they become a part of me.I include others in my goals, and never miss an opportunity to
help someone else reach theirs, even when I don't think I have
much to offer.I never discourage anyone from going after their dreams...
ever.It has been said that God's gift to you is LIFE.What you do with it is your gift to God.Let's see. I live in America. I have the absolute freedom to
design my own life.That's a lot more than millions of other people have who are
born elsewhere in the world.People risk their lives to come to America and experience a
small taste of the rights I was born with, which were granted to
me by my country's insightful forefathers.I am healthy. I have 2 hands, 2 feet and a brain that works
reasonable well. Some people don't have that. There is no reason
in the world I couldn't become anything I want if I am willing to
do my part and keep on keeping on.There isn't anything I can't learn.I make a concerted effort to read, learn and grow every single
day.I can change my life and start over anytime I want.I can pursue my own American dream.I am FREE.And I am responsible for my own decisions and actions.Someone once told me, "You are what you do." How and where you
spend your time, and your actions are indicative of your
self-esteem and your own self-worth. What you do with your time
reveals what you truly value. Not what you "say" you value. You
can raise your standards at any time.This story is not to impress you, simply to illustrate what is
possible for you if you strive to master your time and treat
every minute as a precious resource.Cherish your health and the people around you.Be Bold. Be courageous.Set Goals and get to work.If you are going to do something, do it with all your might.Make the Mastery of Time a priority in your life.I actually created products to help people program themselves
for success. They pay for themselves many times over for
those who are committed to investing a few minutes a day.Do not squander time.There are 525,600 minutes in a year.That's a lot of minutes.How are you spending yours?Live Your Dreams,Jill KoenigJill Koenig, the "Goal Guru' is America's Top Goal Strategist.
