The Success Principles Mentorship Message #15

Dear andre,
One thing we know about successful people is they have learned
to say "no" to people, projects and priorities that keep them
from moving forward on their success path.
In fact, they believe saying "no" is just as acceptable as
saying "yes." They don't experience any guilt in saying no,
and oftentimes, they don't even explain why they're saying it!
They simply guard their time, talents and commitment very
carefully...dedicating themselves only to top priorities and
goals.
We could all say "no" a lot more often to time-stealers that
don't have a high pay-off. Take a look at the list below of
things you could cut down on TODAY by saying no:
1.) Non-essential email such as poems, jokes and stories.
Write a polite, "take-me-off-your-feel-good-
you can create as an email signature to reply whenever you
receive these. If you are rountinely copied on inner-office
email that doesn't apply to you, ask to be taken off the list.
2.) Telemarketing calls. Log on to www.donotcall.gov to have
your telephone number (including your cell phone number)
removed from telemarketing lists.
3). Other people's busy work. Direct co-workers to readily
available information they can locate, print and read on their
own, once they know where to find it -- instead of asking you
as an easier "go-to" source.
4.) Crisis deadlines. Ask to be notified well in advance of
deadlines so you are more in control of the delivery of
projects. Politely advise co-workers you cannot bail them out
at the last minute when they miss THEIR deadlines. Always ask
if the deadline is truly a high priority -- ultimately,
many are not.
Once you've turned your attention to the four immediate
time-stealers above, look around for other things you could
(and should) legitimately say "no" to.
As you free up your time for more successful activity, get
ready to completely redefine your schedule the way the world's
most successful entrepreneurs do. That's tomorrow's lesson.
We'll see you then.
In friendship,

Dear andre,
This is Jack Canfield and Janet Switzer with another
Mentorship Message.
You know, achieving success isn't easy. In fact, there's a
lot of hard work that goes into it. But one thing we know
successful people do throughout the process is they stay
positive about the eventual outcome. They keep their eye on
the prize. No matter what is going on around them, they
stay focused on their goal.
One way we recommend the YOU stay focused is with a tool
called The Daily Success Focusing Journal. Every evening,
jot down five things you accomplished that day, and how you
can move each accomplishment forward with further action.
You can download the form here. Print a copy, then keep it
where you'll remember to complete it each evening before
going to sleep.
Download the Journal:

Once you've determine your areas for further action, you can
spend the last few minutes before drifting off to sleep
visualizing tomorrow as a perfect day -- accomplishing
everything you planned on the Daily Success Focusing Journal.
Start this exercise tonight, and we'll see you tomorrow with
another mentorship message.
In friendship,
JACK CANFIELD and JANET SWITZER

Dear andre,
Despite some of the best information available on how to
accomplish any task, most people still tend to ask their
friends, neighbors, co-workers and siblings for advice on
key issues they may be facing.
This is Jack Canfield and Janet Switzer emailing with today's
mentorship message, asking, "Why not turn to people who are
experts in the field...who have already accomplished exactly
what you want to do?"
You could easily find dozens of mentors to help you on your
path -- and surprisingly, many of them will help out just for
the enjoyment of helping someone else succeed.
In today's mentorship lesson, take time NOW to jot down those
questions you need answered along with the kind of help or
contacts you might need a mentor to provide. Once you've
determined your needs, you can more easily search out
appropriate mentors in your field. When you find them, take
a risk and ask them to help.
You can find a sample script for making the initial phone call
on page 301 of The Success Principles, along with detailed
informationon how to find potential mentors.
We'll see you tomorrow with another Success Principles message.
