Make it SIMPLE - Brian Tracy Motivational Speech

Ladies and gentlemen, simplifying our lives and work processes is a highly valuable skill in a world that frequently seems overly complex. We'll look at seven successful tactics today to help you simplify things, manage them better, and become more productive overall. Consider the mental clarity and calm that result from approaching your everyday responsibilities and long term objectives in a more efficient manner. By removing superfluous complications, we free up time and energy to concentrate on what really counts. Being simple doesn't mean doing less. Rather, it means doing what we do more effectively and purposefully.

Come along as we explore useful, doable tactics that will simplify your thinking, help you set priorities, and make it easier for you to accomplish your goals together. Let's explore the ideas that will revolutionize your outlook on life and work and make everything easier and more fulfilling. You are starting a journey today to live a simpler, more productive life together with open minds and a resolve to simplify and improve every area of our life.

Let's walk down this path. Remember, the person you see is the person you will become. Keep that image in your mind until you become that person in your reality. With your ideal vision clear, now set specific goals in terms of your work life. Imagine you have the ability to produce any quality or quantity of work you desire. What would it be? What are your specific goals and objectives for your work and personal life? Motivation requires a motive. You must be clear about why you are doing what you are doing. Why do you work as hard as you do? What do you really want to achieve? What is the fastest and most direct way to get from where you are to where you want to go?

What additional knowledge and skills will you need to double your productivity and perform at your best? Become an expert in time management. Read the books, listen to the audio programs, and practice, practice and practice until you become one of the most productive people in your business. What habits and behaviors would be most helpful for you to develop? To increase your productivity? Focus on developing habits of results, orientation, focus, concentration, discipline, and perseverance. These then become internal motivators and drivers for high performance.

My favorite organizational principle for high productivity is single handling. This requires that you focus exclusively on one thing, the most important thing, all day long until it is complete. Once you have programmed this work habit into yourself, you will be amazed at how much you can get done. The daily habits of planning, setting priorities, and then starting immediately on your most valuable task will help you more than anything else in time management. You can develop these habits by practicing them over and over until they become automatic.

What daily activities should you practice to ensure you perform at your best? Keep a checklist of time management principles and review it periodically. Make sure you are always working on the most valuable use of your time. Finally, what action commitment will you make as a result of what you have just learned? What specific action will you take to increase your productivity, performance and output? Whatever it is, do it now.

Time management is really life management, personal management, self management. People who value themselves highly allocate their time carefully and think a lot about its use. When you love your life, you love every minute of it. You are very careful about misusing or wasting any of the precious minutes and hours of each day.

Effective people plan their time in small time segments. They think in terms of ten and 15 minutes blocks. They plan each day in detail and in advance. They make every minute count. As a result, they achieve much more than the average person and feel much better about themselves.

When you begin to manage your time and life more carefully, you begin to place a higher value on every minute and every hour. You begin to place a higher value on yourself and your life as well. The better you manage your time, the more you like and respect yourself. And the more you like and respect yourself, the better you manage your time. Each reinforces the other.

The law of increasing returns is your friend. The more you use and practice these time management principles, the better and easier they will become for you. You will achieve more and better results. You will see continuous improvements in your effectiveness and results in a few days or weeks. You will be amazed at how much more productive you are.

This is a wonderful time to be alive. The incredible pace of change we are experiencing today is creating more opportunities and possibilities for us than we ever could have imagined. You have more choices in more areas than ever before and the number of available options is expanding every week and every month. At the same time.

You are overwhelmed with more tasks and responsibilities than ever before. You are probably overwhelmed by jobs you need to complete, books and magazines you need to read, people you need to get back to, projects you need to start or complete, and goals you want to achieve. And like an uninterrupted assembly line, jobs keep coming one after another, too fast for you to manage them all?

You are caught in a dilemma. You want to develop your potential and achieve everything possible for you at work. You want to earn the most money in the shortest time possible. You want to achieve great success in your career. But at the same time, you do not want to sacrifice your family life, your relationships, your health and the personal activities that are so important to you.

You want to have it all. You want much greater achievements on one hand, and much more balance and simplicity on the other. The good news is that thousands of happy and successful men and women have discovered methods, techniques, and strategies that make all this possible. And anything that others have done within reason, you can do as well.

For example, a woman in my advanced training program, a single mother, was earning just over $30,000 a year when she started applying these principles to her work and life. She was working between 70 and 80 hours a week and was completely overwhelmed by the need to be more successful in her career while spending enough time with her daughter. Within five years of starting this focal point process, she increased her income to over $300,000 a year and reduced her workweek to 42 hours.

Her formula was simple. She devoted herself to getting better and better at the two or three activities that contributed the most value to her work. At the same time, she delegated, outsourced, and eliminated everything else. Today, she performs far fewer tasks, but the value of those tasks is ten times greater than the total output of her work just a few years ago.

The starting point of simplification is to reduce the number of things you do in your work and personal life. You will only be able to control your time to the extent that you stop tasks that are of little value to you. You must stop doing some things you have become accustomed to doing over the years. You even have to stop doing things you do well and enjoy if you want to get your life under control.

After years of study and experimentation, I developed my own complexity law to apply to time management and simplification. When you apply this complexity law, you will immediately simplify your life, increase your performance, and begin to enjoy everything you do more. The law of complexity says that the level of complexity of any task is equal to the square of the number of different steps in that task.

complexity is defined as the potential for higher costs, longer time, or more errors. For example, a simple task is something you do yourself. If you decide to make a personal phone call, there is only one step. The task has a complexity factor of one. A squared square is the same as one multiplied by one. So the level of complexity of a single simple task is that you pick up the phone, make the call, and hang up the phone.

However, if you ask someone else to make a phone call for you, you have added an additional step to the process. Your level of complexity increases to two squares or the number four. Two times two is four. This means that the potential increase in time, the costs involved and the potential for errors or misunderstandings have now gone from one with a single step to four with two steps. A large jump in the potential for increased time, costs and errors.

However, suppose you ask someone else to ask a third person to make the phone call for you. Now you have three steps. This equals a level of complexity of three squared or nine. Three times three equals nine. The potential for increased time, increased expenses, and increased misunderstandings or errors has now jumped from a level of complexity of one if you make the call yourself to a level of complexity of nine when someone else asks another person to make the call, are you with me so far?

Therefore, an activity with four steps has a level of complexity of four squared or 16. This greatly increases the potential for higher costs, more time, and more misunderstandings or errors. A task with five steps has a level of complexity of five squared or 25. A task with ten steps. Most government activities has a complexity level of ten squared or 100.

What this means is that the level of complexity increases exponentially as the number of steps increases mathematically. The level of complexity also decreases exponentially as steps are removed from the process. This law of complexity explains why and how you can drastically simplify your life by continuously seeking ways to reduce the number of steps required to complete any task or achieve any goal.

Here's an example. A major life insurance company had a problem. The company would receive a life insurance application from the field, but then it took six weeks to approve or disapprove the policy. By that time, the potential customer had often lost interest or gone elsewhere. The insurance company hired a consultant who applied the complexity theory to the due insurance application process. He found that the application form passed through 22 different hands. Each person checked and approved a particular part of the policy before it finally reached the desk of the decision maker.
