What is Your Most Valuable Asset?

What is your most valuable asset? It is your time!

While writing this, I am on a flight to Austin, Texas. I will participate in a seminar by Keith Cunningham. On the flight, I am listening to his book "The Road Less Stupid". It inspired me to think about the most valuable asset. This brought up this idea:

Sharing my thinking time about the most valuable asset with you, my dear!

What is your most valuable asset? It is your time!

To do so,

- I will send you 2 to 3 times a week questions about a thinking time issue
- until the next day we collect our ideas
- on the third day, we evaluate the ideas and decide which one we are going to implement
- then it starts over again with the next issue

Due to being a big fan of simplicity, effectiveness, and frugalism, I want to start by thinking about "saving time". Because time is our most valuable resource. It creates space to do things, that improve your life, health, wealth, growth, vitality, and happiness. So, saving time provides you with the biggest benefit. Apart from that, if you are permanently bored. But I can't see that risk in your case. Here are the thinking time questions for today:

• What am I not doing anymore?
• What would I recommend to you, not to do it anymore?
• Which of my habits doesn't produce results?

Find and share at least 3 ideas within the next 24 hours. Write down what comes spontaneously into your mind. Perfectionism is not an issue here. The more ideas, the better. Spontaneous ideas need less time, so you are already implementing one time-saving method!

If you think you don't have time for this exercise and taking care of your most valuable asset, it means that you would have the biggest benefit from it! So, here are the questions, once again:

• What am I not doing anymore?
• What would I recommend to you, that you should not do anymore?
• Which of my habits doesn't produce results?

My ideas about my most valuable asset are:

What am I not doing anymore?

• Training up to 5 times a week. Only training 3 times a week, up to 1 h maximum with high intensity, e. g.
  • Cardio e.g. running, swimming cycling
  • Strengthening e. g. dumbles or weight lifting
  • Mindfulness e. g. yoga, stretching, tantric energy

• Stop oversleeping, have 1 to 3 rests during the day, and reduce night sleep to 6 h max
• Working longer than 90 minutes continuously
• Not writing blogs in German anymore, English only. Let Google translate it.
• Having someone who does the German translation for me
• Planing the outcome of tomorrow before I fall asleep. Then concentrate on the single most essential task

What would I recommend to you, that you should not do anymore?

• Close the door behind you, when working.  And put an "ON AIR" sign with a skull on the outside, e.g. while producing music, learning, writing, or having your thinking time. So that nobody disturbs you and to avoid interruptions.
• Only have those things on the table, I currently need to get my current job done.
• Concentrate on a single task. No drinks, snacks, or cigarettes while working. Nor playing with the smartphone, telephone calls, WA, FB, and Emails while eating.

Which of my habits doesn't produce results?

• Instead of mentoring Chris individually, adding him to the mastermind
• Not doing social media myself anymore
• Removing those participants from the mastermind who don't contribute

One member of the mastermind group came up with the following ideas:

1. What am I not doing anymore?
   Because someone knows more about a particular subject than I do, I would never assume their advice on that subject is right for me.
2. What would I recommend you not to do anymore?
   Do not talk about lack and limitations, unless you want more of the same
3. What am I doing due to a habit which doesn't produce results?
   Complaining about the changes in my company

Another member came up with these thoughts:

• What am I not doing anymore?

1. Let me persuade you to dispose of any rubbish from tenants or the like.
   • Listen to boring stories of things that I do not really care about. (Keep your hard drive clean and organized.)
   • Do not feed your mind with any junk you do not care about, a quote from the series "Elementary" (Sherlock Holmes).
   • Endless phone calls with interested customers, as quickly as possible but also as necessary, come to the point and arrange a visit.
   • pointless visits reduce Ala "I wanted to stop by"
   • waste (personal) too much time with Instagram etc.
   • Expand email templates to save time when answering emails
2. What do you recommend to stop doing?
   • Check out what's fun and then stop doing things that make you unhappy
   • To deal with Apple devices: D
   • Possibly. also from other digital things that will kill you like Newsletter2go etc.
3. What do I do out of habit, which brings no results?
   • To be the good-natured one
   • Do things quickly and in between that just distract me
   • Listening to stories that do not interest me in principle

The story continues for you if you join the mastermind today!
