The Money is in the List- But Not the List You Think

I haven’t posted for awhile and for that I apologize. I’ve just been busy lately. I wanted to mention a few things about list building. Now, you’re thinking I’m going to give you some rehashed tactics to get subscribers on your list, which I will do at a later date.

Today, I want to talk about another type of list building. That is the list you make of your daily, weekly and yearly goals to accomplish. It was pounded into my head in my younger years to make lists constantly but for some reason I fell out of the habit.

Your mind has enough trouble keeping track of things on a daily basis and many people are terrible at remembering things that need to be purchased, bills to be paid or the meeting you must attend.

A list can help you get focused and keep your mind free from clutter. You would be surprised how helpful is can be just writing down things that you need to accomplish.Plus, you put your thoughts into action just by writing them down.

If you have a short attention span, like me, a list can help you pinpoint your concentration and focus. Part of the reason I haven’t posted in awhile is I have had a hard time getting focused for some reason. My mind is constantly reeling with new ideas for projects I “eventually” want to do.

The problem is that you can become overwhelmed by all of the constant noise and your list will help you concentrate on those important tasks. As an aside, you get to cross things off of your list when completed and have a visual representation of accomplishment.

For people like me who are results oriented, this is a great feeling. Another great thing is you can look at your list when you start to get distracted and ask yourself if what you’re doing is accomplishing something on your list or not. That will help you focus more and get more done in a shorter amount of time.

Haven’t you wondered why you sit down to do something and hours have passed and when you examine your results, they fall short of expectations?  This is the reason. Lack of pinpointed focus. No results means no money going to be made. So, as you can see, it’s vitally important to make lists so you can focus and concentrate on specific goals.

That’s the other side of the coin. Make lists of goals you want to accomplish not just in the next hour or two, but also in the next week, month, year or five years from now. Post these where you can see them every day. Visualize yourself getting to those goals. See yourself successful and acheiving the results set down on paper.Put a photo representation next to it also. Really “see” what you want to have, be or do.

Believe me when I say that the universe will align to help you by presenting you with circumstances and people that will assist you in achieving your goals. So, go make a list, and some money. Take care. Patrick

  1. If we make a list of our daily, weekly and monthly work its helps us to have those goals for that particular time. And we can analyze what we have got and what we lost.

    (Plus, it helps us focus on the priorities, which helps us get more done.)

  2. List building is very helpful in every concept. It makes out every task easy and sufficient.
