6 Introduction

“Time is money.” Benjamin Franklin

The above quote reflects the experience of most people – that time and money are inextricably linked together. So, rather than resist this idea, in this e-book we are going to explore ways to work with it! Let’s face it…time is a context we live in…the context called “time and space.” One of the most efficient and fastest ways to attract money is to complete tasks without wasting your time. Some of the ways people waste time includes thinking too much or procrastinating about the tasks they need to do to create financial freedom. In essence, they waste their time and money… Time and money are valuable commodities. As such, we can invest our energies in them and discover they will yield a valuable return for us when we do. You can accomplish this by learning to focus – i.e., employing time management strategies in your behalf to complete tasks rather than hesitating. It’s simple math. The longer you put them off, the less time you'll have to enjoy them -- and the point is enjoying them…not just completing them, but the doing of them. This e-book will help you attract more time and money than you have previously imagined by providing ideas that can transform and balance your way of life for the better. You can control and manage your time and finances!


7 Time Planning Your Day

There are many ways to go about planning your money and time-attracting day. Here is just one system that can work for you. Feel free to adjust and tweak it to your own liking.

1. Write down how much sleep time you want each day. 2. Write down how much free time you would like to have daily. 3. Add #1 and #2, and then subtract the total from a 24-hour day to arrive at the amount of hours you have left. This will be the time you will have to fully focus on your money-making tasks. For Example: 8 hours sleep + 2 hours free time = 10 hours 24 hours – 10 hours = 14 hours Total Money-Making Task Time 4. Now write down all the money-attracting tasks you want to get done by time slots according to mornings, afternoons and evenings. For example: Morning –  Write proposals to potential JV Partners  Write sales letter Afternoon –  Return calls  Follow up calls  Other copywriting Evening –  Work on website  Research

5. Add all the tasks up and divide them into the time you have left to focus. From the example above: 14 Hours ÷ 7 Tasks = 2 Hours


8 6. Adjust the time and time slot of each task accordingly by an estimate of how long they will take. For example: In this example, you have a full two hours to schedule tasks. Your schedule would start to look like this:       

9am – 11am 11am – 1 pm 1pm – 3pm 3pm – 5pm 5pm – 7pm 7pm – 9pm 9pm – 11pm

Write proposals to potential JV Partners Write sales letter Return calls Follow up calls Other copywriting Work on website Research

Obviously you will want breaks, lunch, dinner, etc…but now you know that you have a full two hours to assign each task before making adjustments. Bear in mind that this is a simplified model for illustrative purposes. Most people have more than seven tasks in a day, or may want to sleep more/less and have more down time for socializing, family, etc.

The point is that working with a system allows your day of attracting more money and time to be fully planned and ready to go.


9 Focus Like Clockwork The ability to focus your energy is key to getting things done efficiently – and one simple but highly effective way to do this is using a clock, timer or stop watch.

First, decide on the money-attracting task you want to do and set a time limit to complete it, say, for 10 to 30 minutes. If your tasks take longer than that, you can do one of the following:  

Set the time for a longer period Break it up to take breaks in between

Clocks and timers are everywhere but I suggest finding a fun one! (I’ve seen timers in the shape of tomatoes, pears, apples, pigs, frogs and ladybugs.) But… If you really want to keep it simple…and excuse-free…use anything that keeps track of time…


10 Focus On Urgency Learning to use a timer offers you another big benefit – creating urgency. Focusing on urgency automatically removes the clutter of internal or mental distractions that can stop you from achieving your money-making goals. You will be focused on time rather than the thoughts in your mind. If you’re human, you have your share of distracting thoughts and attendant emotional states. But they don't need to paralyze you from taking action! The following list contains common mental distractions. See if you can distinguish the ones that crop up the most for you and bring them with you into the conversation in the next section where we discuss other kinds of distractions.

Internal Distractions      

Worrying/Anxiety/Nervousness Past/Memories Ideas/Brainstorming Daydreaming Negative Emotions Positive Emotions (Yes, even these can be distracting!)


11 Focus Without Distractions

Along the path of learning to focus your attention you will run into external distractions that can keep you from completing your task on time. They’re everywhere… How do you avoid the inevitability of them? Well, you don’t! But what you can do is get really good at noticing, or recognizing, them. In other words, bring your awareness to them. If you’re committed to gaining more mastery with yourself, this is the first and most important step. Your commitment and awareness will begin to generate a new response – or new actions – in line with that commitment. I will admit we live in a time of increasing distractions, all dressed up and ready to entertain you. But keep in mind that one of the major differences between successful people and the unsuccessful is their ability to not be distracted. For example, I read that when Maya Angelou writes a book, she gets a hotel room. Each day she leaves her home around 5:30 am and heads to the hotel where she holes up to write in longhand until about 2:30 pm when she goes back home for the rest of the day. And…she requires hotel staff to remove all the pictures off the wall (too distracting)! Below I’ve listed some easily identifiable distractions on the “no-no” list during the time you’ve designated to work on your money-making tasks (forget “multi-tasking”). Read them over and mark the ones that have a tendency to draw you away from what you’re doing and cause you to break focus.

External Distractions

___TV/DVD ___Radio ___MP3 Player/Ipod ___Video Game ___People ___Email

___Napping ___Looking out the window ___Background noises ___Social Networking ___Web Sites/Surfing ___Pictures


12 ___Phone/Texting ___Eating ___Drinking

___Bathroom ___Clutter ___"Researching"

(Ok, come on…be honest!!...)


13 Focus On the Good Things

Staying positive keeps the flow going. Everything seems easier. Work gets done faster. Your productivity soars higher. And you know what that means… More opportunities…more potential income…more money to enjoy the good things in life more often. The more, the more… Learning to focus your mind on good things is a skill like any other. While I would say that, technically speaking, it is a natural ability, one we are born with, most people have managed to hide it from themselves over the course of their lives. But you can get it back with intention, mindfulness and practice.


14 Focus On the Short Rewards Your subconscious mind is like a little child in many respects – highly suggestible and loves rewards! And here’s the good news… Rewarding yourself can actually increase your focus, add momentum and break your time record, so setting up a reward system works with your subconscious instead of against it. If you are writing an article and know that as soon as you complete it you’re going to take the next hour off and work on your novel, or read a book you’ve been wanting to read but haven’t made the time for, or have a piece of chocolate cake and cup of tea – wouldn't you be motivated to finish quickly? You get double the pleasure…finishing the task plus enjoying the reward! In the following list I’ve given you some ideas for the kinds of rewards that can give you a sense of achievement and satisfaction. Notice which categories sound appealing and then come up with at least 10 ideas. Out of those 10, choose your top three.

Possible Rewards      

Food - A favorite food, dessert, glass of wine, a special meal Social – Get together with a friend or family member, play a game, go on a date, chat with them, help others Shopping – Buy a gift for yourself Entertainment - Dancing, playing a sport, working on a hobby, listening to music, watching a movie Relaxation – A nap, long bath, massage Travel – A day trip, hike, afternoon at the art gallery, someplace you’ve always wanted to go


15 Focus With Caution and Reality Besides the distractions we’ve discussed, there are other kinds of obstacles that can pop up in the middle of a task that may be less obvious. These require some preparation on your part to overcome them. For example, it takes a certain strength to think about your end goal and the mental, emotional and physical benefits you'll get from completing your money-making task. If you don’t have that skill of strength, you will want to develop it. That’s one form of preparation. Another would be building in a time allowance for emergencies – or extended time to help with obstacles along the way. Below are some of the more subtle obstacles, both internal and external, with suggestions of how to avert them. Make a note of which ones are familiar to you, as well as ideas for how to handle that particular issue.  Boredom - Add rewards or break up tedious, repetitious work  Mistakes – Be clear what is causing you to make them so you can address appropriate action  Tiredness - Get enough sleep, nap time or mental breaks to stay alert over a long period of time  Doubts – Bolster self-confidence and self-esteem and/or be realistic about the work and time involved to accomplish it  Sickness – Exercise and maintain a healthy diet  Equipment Problems – Have a backup plan or cash to fix it  Waiting – Confirm other people’s timelines in advance  Mental Block – Switch to something else for a while or give yourself a break to refresh your creativity  Research – Set aside a specific time (daily, if required)  Weather – Be flexible


16  Emergencies/Injuries – Again, be flexible  Criticism- Learn to receive constructive criticism and avoid the other kind


17 Focus On the Money In this section we are looking at time and money through a “money lens.” The idea is that if you focus on the money, then ways to use your time towards that end become clear. Are there areas you need to spend money? Or perhaps you need to be more efficient with your money in certain areas. Below are some broad categories with a few detailed examples. It’s a small representation of an endless stream of ideas, but will get you started in the right direction.  Create - Write information products, invent physical products, develop services, improve existing products and services  Advertise- Write sales letters, place online pay per click ads advertisements, buy paid offline advertising or trade advertisements  Marketing - Optimize your web page, write and submit article or press releases, build your list, gain new affiliates, joint venture  Contact - Make phone calls, send e-mails, publish an e-zine, do forum posts, social networking, send texts  Train - Hire employees, find outsources, train employees, have business meetings, give presentations  Travel – Go to business meetings, do outside sales and product presentations, conduct seminars  Accounting – Know profits and losses, keep record books, do your taxes, stay legal  Service - Answer customer questions, issue customer refunds, do follow-up calls or contacts, help with technical assistance  Labor – Hire out for assembly, packaging, shipping, fulfillment  Plan – Do brainstorm sessions, mastermind groups, problem solving, focus groups, product tests, training


18 Focus On the Extra There’s always a little something more we can do to make the difference. In this final focus section, I’ve highlighted some extra tips that can help you save more time and attract money. Pick and choose them to add to the strategies you've already learned.  Tools - Use time-saving management tools such as computer software, phone apps, booklet planners, calendars.  Automate - Find fast tools and technology that can automate your work and business, especially the repetitious tasks. If you can't afford them, borrow or rent them.  Combine - If you have two to three similar tasks, save time doing them together in one timed setting.  Organize - Make sure you are organized and prepared before you put yourself on the money-attraction task clock.  Prioritize - Do what is important first, closest to the deadline, easiest to gain momentum or the hardest/most time-consuming and get it out of the way.  Systems - Invent systems, routines, plans, and steps to get your moneyattraction tasks done easier and faster.  Study - Review your task list after you create it to know what you have to do and what tools you'll need to complete them.  Prepared - Expect unexpected problems, be flexible and adapt to changes as they come while doing your tasks.  Outsource - Delegate the tasks you don't have the time, skills or tools for to other freelancers, employees, co-workers, and/or partners – if it's profitable.  Consequences - Consider the financial consequences and repercussions if you don't get your tasks done by a certain time for motivation.  Time - Give yourself enough time to complete the tasks. Be realistic to avoid negative emotions in those moments you don't get them done within a certain timeframe.


19  Free - If you are bored during your free time, do a task that you have to do the next day. Use your free time wisely but have fun, too.  Stress - Don't wait till the last minute to complete tasks. When you’re stressed, the quality of your work suffers and can feel overwhelming.


20 Conclusion Complacency never serves us…especially not in today’s global environment. No matter how efficient you become, there’s always a better way – a shortcut, if you will. My assistant, Suzanne, is a great example. She always has way more on her plate than the average person can get done in a day and uses her mind to create shortcuts for her. How does she do it? She focuses her energy on what she wants – daily asking the universe to show her the shortcuts! Start having this conversation with yourself regularly. Seek efficiency in everything you do – how you spend your time and how you spend your money. This e-book can help you do it by adding hours to your day and days to your weeks and month. Keep in mind that you don’t have to pile up tasks. You really can have more hours in the day to do things you enjoy and more money to buy the things you want. And you won’t be looking back wishing you had done this or that – because you've already done them in record time! This system can be fun (and addictive) as you take more actions and complete more tasks than you ever thought possible. Remember… Money loves speed!
