Keep learning skills that compound over time.
What I’m saying here is to invest your time in your abilities that make it easier and faster to learn, earn, and create more value as the years go by.
Like compound interest in investing, these skills build on themselves, so the benefits grow instead of staying flat.
In other words ask yourself, ”Will learning this today make it easier to learn more, earn more, or solve bigger problems five years from now?” If the answer is yes, it's likely a compounding skill.

Respect people's time - be punctual.
Showing up late is considered a disrespecting of boundaries. You’re disregarding the effort the other person made to arrive on time.
This in turn is sending a negative message. According to Psychology Today, you’re subtly saying, “I'm more important than you," which breeds resentment. They feel that every they’r kept waiting is time they could have spent on other tasks.
And in a professional or group settings, your delay throws off the entire timeline for everyone else involved
There’s a saying that people who are really really want it, those on time are calculating and those that are late - don’t bother. Harsh, but see it from the other person’s point of view.
The thinking is that being early eliminates variables. So there’s no need to feel rushed or at the mercy of traffic. Being early is a way to stay calm and prepared.
How does hypnotherapy to beat 99%of people help? For example, we can work on your anxiety. A lot of people who are late think they’ve time to fit in ‘just one more task’. May be they do, but then they’re running late. Let it go. Concentrate on what’s important. If you really have to be on time let’s get you there.
Stay disciplined even when no one’s looking.
Discipline isn’t a public display, it’s. Mind set. Your mind set. What you do to improve and be kind to yourself. It’s not a performance.
How does hypnotherapy to beat 99%of people help? You’ll learn how to stay focused and concentrate on a task, a work out, a college project when no one’s looking. It’s where you make the most gains. The hard yards.
As Muhammad Ali put it:
“The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, out there on the road long before I dance under the lights.”
Do I live like this?
I try to. I will always come up short, but I try and close the gap every time. Be better. Why? Because I enjoy knowing I got that little bit more out of everything I do - every time.
