FUTURE
Welcome “I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So, best of all I like Autumn. Its leaves are a little yellow, its tone is mellower, its colours richer, and it is tinged a little with sorrow… Its golden riches speak not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kingly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content.” – Lin Yutang As we enter Autumn here in Australia and enjoy the last few weeks of the warm days by the pool and BBQ’s with friends before we make the transition into Winter, I am reminded of the quote above. What an amazing description of Autumn. Truly capturing the essence of this season. Autumn is a visually spectacular season, a transitional time, which I feel is the most underrated because of our busy lives. I have found that people have a strong opinion on the other 3 seasons but miss the beauty and wisdom this season brings. In our lives, Autumn is the time when we both reap from our seeds and prepare for Winter, or we are humbled as we see the results from our decisions. It is a time of hindsight and learning from what worked & what didn’t. It is the time after a success, be it a goal is completed, a dream is fulfilled or problems are overcome. A period in time when the dust has settled, where you become wiser and prepare for the next level, the next challenge, the next growth or journey.
The focus is relaxed, the emotion is calm and when you stand humble you see things for what they really are. It is good to be able to stop from everything you are doing, and use the wisdom of Autumn in your goals, dreams and problems. Even if the project you are on, the goal you are achieving or the problem you are facing is not in the Autumn season yet, the wisdom from Autumn can help you ensure you are on the right track or if you need to, realign your sight. Take the time now to take that goal, dream or problem you may have a high emotion with, or maybe it’s a laser focus, and step back from it. Enjoy the beauty of your progress and the wisdom you have found from it already. In hindsight would you have done everything the same till this point. Celebrate the point you are at and adjust as necessary. 1. What is the goal, dream or problem you are currently undertaking? 2. In hindsight, would you do it all the same, write down the things you have
done right or if there has been mistakes, write down what you would do differently if you had to do it again (The key here is not to write down and focus on the things you may have done wrong, but what you have learnt from it). 3. Are you on track? Do you need to make any adjustments? Celebrate the progress you have made so far. Well Done. Yours in Prosperity
IS YOUR MONEY AN
ABUNDANT STREAM? Like it or not, Money is a tool that is critical to living on planet earth. It is an incredible tool if used correctly. But remember, money is an incredible servant but a lousy master. Money should be used to work for you, serve you and increase for you. How do you view money? Is money like a big pool, or is it a stream to you. Many people think that money is just a big pool, a big old pie of money. They fear that if they let the money ?low out, the pool will dry up. They squeeze their dollar so hard that the queen is choking. What they end up with is a stagnant murky pool. Overlooking what has happened by blocking the outlet, they are also blocking the inlet.
For money to grow it has to circulate. It is called currency because it travels like a current to all those who are tapped into it. People save it for a rainy day and that is exactly what they get – a rainy day. Your life moves towards your dominant thoughts. It has been said that money is like manure, you hoard it, it stinks, you spread it around it will make things grow! How often do people say “if I had more money I would give to charity or I would invest”? This is a ?lawed way of thinking, in fact the person who hoards their money when they only have a little will hoard their money when they have a lot. Money does not make the man, it simply just magni?ies what he already is.
We need to shed the “Pie” mentality when it comes to money, the notion that there is only a certain amount to go around. There is an abundance of money in the world, there is an abundance of everything we need in the world, thinking otherwise will only clog your arteries of prosperity.
Just a thought…
“Your mind works b etter in the environment
Be generous with your money, use it for good and watch what happens. It is said in religion about tithing and just about every good wealth creation book and training course that 10% of your money is for philanthropy. This is not your money to hoard or keep, this is to keep you connected to the stream of money. It shows your unconscious mind that you are abundant and that you can be entrusted with more. This outlet creates the inlet and taps your pool into the stream of money. Once you are tapped into that stream you can then dig out a big lake, ?it up irrigation to supply other areas that are dry, but if you can’t do this when all you have is $1 to your name, you will never do it when you have $1M and more.

There are three things you need to do with your money: • Get all you can • Save all you can • Give all you can The greatest lesson I have ever learnt is the key to great amounts of wealth and prosperity is to solve problems. The richest people in the world are rich because they solved problems. Bill Gates Company solved a problem, (and then also ?igured out to

A good friend of mine once said to me “Never complain about your troubles Pat, they are responsible for more than half of your income”, and boy was he right. I would say most of my wealth has come from solving problems. Don’t blame or praise money, it has no power but the power you give it. Money has never broken up a marriage, it has never caused a ?ight, money has never gone to war or destroyed the environment. Money is neutral, it is not good or bad, moral or immoral. Money is powerless by itself, it is your attitude towards your money that determines the effect of it in your life. Pat Mesiti

8 - 10 APRIL 2011 — GOLD COAST
TIME MANAGEMENT I am sick of hearing the excuse from people that they don’t have the time, they are so busy or just have too much on…
There is no difference in the amount of time you or someone like Sir Richard Branson has. We all have 24 hours in a day. It is what we do with those 24 hours that makes the difference. I would love to follow someone around who makes the comment of not having enough time and see how they use the most precious commodity any of us have. Oh Pat, you don’t understand, it is different for me. Branson, well he is a billionaire, he can just pay people to do everything for him, I have this to do and that to do, I am drained and have no energy, I can’t manage, there is too many things to do and not enough time to do it in. You’re right. What ever you have as your excuse is absolutely right. Firstly, you are choosing to be busy, ?lat out, can’t stop, too much on, going going going. STOP!!!! Stop right there, just take 5 minutes and look at what’s going on here. “But Pat, I’m just ?lat out maaaaaate”. Let me tell you, the wheels are spinning but there is no traction. Poor time management is simply allowing yourself to become overwhelmed with busyness. Let’s take 5 minutes and write everything that you need to do
down on a piece of paper. I don’t mean an iPad, I don’t mean on the computer or your digital pocket organizer, I am talking old school pen and paper. Go on I will wait. Have you done it? Are you a person of action? Be careful what you tell your unconscious mind, write out everything you need to do, the big tasks and little tasks, the book you need to read, the education home study kit still sitting on your shelf. If you haven’t done it, go on, start now I will wait right here. Great work. OK, lets call this your task list. You can add to it at any time if something pops into your head. (Keep it beside your bed too as all those things you need to do generally come to mind right before you go to sleep.) Now, if you want to manage your time and increase your output you simply need better focus on this list. Let’s explain what I mean by focus. I believe the key to the success of the task list is the fact that we focus on each task as an
individual item. When we think “I need to reply to all these emails, return the phone messages, go to the bank, pick up the dry cleaning, meet so and so for lunch” and on and on, we loose ourselves in the enormity of it all. But when you say “I need to reply to these emails” and focus only on that item, the overwhelming feeling of ALL the other items is reduced back to just one task, which by itself is achievable and manageable. You handle it better because your energy a r o u n d t h e t a s k i s n o t overwhelmed and with focus only on one thing it gets done in the quickest time possible. Now you need to take the list you have written out and prioritize it. There should be four categories that all tasks fall under: (RED) Critical and Urgent – These are the items that need to be done immediately as they have a major impact to your desired outcomes with your goals or work. They normally come as an unexpected crisis or because something was not actioned earlier before it became critical and urgent. Correct time management can avoid the later while an unexpected crisis can be handled without burden by having correct time management and rescheduling other tasks.
These types of items should be well managed, someone who most of their tasks fall under this category will not last very long as they would end up burnt out and the stress associated with Critical and Urgent tasks can be very damaging to your health if endured for too long a period of time or in too large a quantity. An example of RED items are doing your Tax Return on the day it is due. (Orange) Urgent but not Critical – This is work or tasks that don’t contribute to your goals or ?inal outcomes. They have the feeling of urgency but the end result makes no difference to your work or goals. This is where most busy people live their lives. Everything is urgent and needs to be done NOW, but in the end, the tasks bear no importance to their success. Ask yourself, can these types of items can be rescheduled or given to someone else to do? A major cause to these items is the inability to say no to someone. An example of ORANGE items is yard work such as cleaning gutters and pulling weeds. (GREEN) Not Urgent but Critical – Tasks that if done now would increase your capacity to earn, re a c h yo u r p e r s o n a l a n d professional goals and is where your greatest focus should be. Make sure you allocate time to do these tasks, as if left to become urgent and critical or discarded and rescheduled constantly, your momentum and success will be greatly affected from such. This is the area that great time managers live in. It is also known as training hard to win easy. Focusing on these tasks has the greatest ability to achieving your desired outcome and increasing in all areas of life.
An example of GREEN items would be doing your tax return a month before it is due, taking a night class in expanding your skills and value. (BLACK) Not Urgent and Not Critical – These are success stealing tasks. They should be avoided totally or have a small allowance for these types of items. This area is where the general public spend their time. If you want greater success in your life you get rid of all Not Urgent and Not Important from your task list, and only ever engage in these tasks when the other 3 categories are completed. An example of a BLACK item is the income reduction box, or as commonly referred to as television. Once you have placed all your tasks into the four categories above I want you to cross off all BLACK items. You don’t need them. Second step, the RED items go up the top of the list, these need to be done ?irst. Step three, GREEN items should be placed underneath RED on the list. Lastly place all the ORANGE tasks at the bottom. You now have your task list ready to go. If something new comes up, figure out what color it is and add it in the right position it order of its importance. If you don’t get everything on your task list done that day, add it to the next days list. Putting the most critical tasks at the top keeps you focused on what is really important. It is known that 20% of what we do makes up for 80% of our results, so if you have only done those items that fall in the 20% category, you have done 80% of what is
required for your results. This will be noticed, at work, at h o m e , i n yo u r g o a l s a n d achievements. This is the difference between The Millionaire Mindset and the bloke who has the so busy, just ?lat out, just not enough time in the day, excuses. The Millionaire Mindset is doing the 20% and getting the 80% results, The ?lat out fella is doing the 80% and getting 20% results. When we look at someone like Sir Richard Branson, he is the r e s u l t o f c o n t i n u i n g t o compound the 80/20 rule. So you now have your list, you now need to split it into two task lists, one for your day job and one for home. This is recommended especially if you are self employed or in senior management role as the lines between work and home get blurred and work time steals away your home time. If you have a huge task that seems to be daunting or would take massive amount of time, break it down into smaller tasks. You are after the end result. Becoming overwhelmed by the size of the task is not going to help you do anything but get an ulcer. Breaking it down into smaller tasks that can be attacked daily removes the feeling of being overwhelmed and allows progression and momentum to the end result. Great Work. You now have your plan of attack to spend your time on. It is flexible and can handle changes and unexpected issues. You know the priority of all you need to do and if it doesn’t get done today, it will be there in the correct order tomorrow. You know each item’s priority and you will respect that order of thing.

when you set a goal expect a problem… Now you may be thinking, Pat, that is not very motivational, aren’t you supposed to be telling us to set a goal and think positive?
I have never seen it work that way, never!
Sure, you can’t think negative and get a positive result, but what I am saying to you my friend, is that the second you set a goal, you will receive a problem, and you need to expect it. The problem might not be there straight away, but it is on its way.
The “REAL” Secret is you put your goal out to the universe and the problems will be attracted to you, you solve those problems and your reward is the goal you set. If you solve a problem and still have not succeeded in your goal, there is another problem still waiting to be fixed, so get off your duff and go fix it.
Why? Let me explain. When you set a goal, a S.M.A.R.T. Goal, you should have visualized it, you should believe it and have started on a plan to achieve it. If you just got your goal without any problems you will never be successful. Now let me tell you why the problem really comes about. It is because what you focus on you get. Know that the path to your goal will always have this problem, it may come in different forms but the problem is sitting and waiting for anyone who takes the path set for that goal. You see a couple of years back the worst thing in prosperity teaching hit the market, the plague of common sense, a book and DVD called “The Secret”. It really screwed with people’s heads; it had people thinking you just put it out to the universe and magically it will come to you. THEY GOT IT WRONG PEOPLE!
This, in my opinion, is the real “Secret”. Set a goal, look for the problems, fix the problem, and achieve your goal. If you fix the problem and still have not achieved the goal, fix the next problem that is stopping the goal’s success, the bigger the goal the bigger the problems. The only difference between a person worth a million dollars and a person worth a billion dollars is the problems each of these people solve. If you gave a billion dollars to someone who can only solve million dollar problems, they will soon only have to solve million dollar because of the problem.
