PHILOSOPHY

"What makes a person productive?"  This was a question I asked myself growing up.  Regardless of the environment, I was always producing results.  I wondered what made me different from everyone else, then let the question fade.  Years later, I became an avid reader.  After reading dozens of books, this question entered my mind again.  From there, I sat down, put pen to paper, and created with the productivity circle.  Productivity is working efficiently to get the results you desire.  To get the results you want, you must:

• Motivate yourself - What is your reasoning for doing something?
• Educate yourself- How are you going to educate yourself to achieve your goals?
• Execute the necessary steps - What steps are you going to take to execute those goals?
• Outcome - Were the results what you expected?  Did you meet them?  Did you exceed them?  Did you fail?

What don't you like about yourself?  What do you wish you could do better?  Do you wish you had more time?  Do you wish you got that job promotion?  Want 6 pack?  I created the accountability triangle to hold myself and you accountable.  Everyone wants results, but you have to be willing to change.  Realize that you aren't always right and that you can learn things from others.  Hold yourself accountable when things don't go your way.  You are the only person responsible!  If you hold yourself accountable (left side), you will have a better attitude (+ slope) and are headed in the right direction.  If you blame others, your circumstances, complain, and have a victim mentality,  you will no doubt have a negative attitude and always find an excuse.

1.) Failure:  omission of occurrence or performance.  The upside to failing is you can learn from your mistakes!  As billionaire Mark Cuban says, "It doesn't matter how many times you fail, you only have to be right once."

2.) Average:  complacency; the absolute worst place to be.  It's easy to be stuck here and be content.  I consider this the high alert zone.

3.) Success:  A metric of succeeding; favorable or desired outcome; the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence
