It is not my intend to take anything into the quantum universe but some rules are universal. The simpliest principles if implemented correctly will change your behaviour in a lot of areas since they are true in love, business and your daily life etc. No offense to anyone but this is why it's easily observable that if your car is messy, you are probably messy in other areas of your life as well. Another great analogy for entrepreneurs I can think of is called the "Ketchup Analogy" and can be found in a recent post I made http://getapowerplay.blogspot.com/ you may want to take a look.

I had a gym membership that I'd paid for about a year, a few sessions of which I only used as well :) Thanks for sharing - organization is key in all facets of our lives. There is definitely no excuse as to why we can't make that appointment to go to the gym - if that was a galpal who'd ask you to join her for coffee, you know you wouldn't think twice about it :) Stay fabulous!

I like #1. Many people aim for that golden bullet of an idea when it's the small things that make the biggest difference. Do the basics extraordinarily well! If you look to improve 10 areas by say, just 10%, compounding these will have a much bigger impact than improving one thing by 25%. And it's usually the small things that are easier to identify than the big uns! Happy Selling Sean Great posting.

When you work out, esp. with a trainer or coach, you gain more knowledge and strength that helps you beyond just “right now”. You are learning skills that you can transpose to new circumstances and situations. For example in the gym, you may learn an exercise to tone your abdomen, but you are also taught that the exercise is good for your back. Later, you may find yourself using this exercise for your back INSTEAD of your abdomen. Business is the same way. As we learn and exercise what we have learned, we gain skill and insights that help us in the future – and maybe allows us to help others.
