The jig is up come on admit it You know yoursquore a knucklehead Why else would you be reading a manifesto on knuckleheads if you werenrsquot a knucklehead
The way I see it this manifesto is in your hands for one of three reasons
bull A friend or family member gave you a copy because they think yoursquore a knucklehead
bull A boss or co-worker gave you a copy because they are convinced yoursquore a knucklehead
bull You raided the piggy bank coughed up a few bucks and bought a copy for yourself because you KNOW yoursquore a knucklehead

Hello Knucklehead

It is the proverbial banana peel that we step on that slows us down beats us up or worse yet prevents us from achieving our goals
Knuckleheads fall madly in love head over heels go-go ga-ga about behavior that does not deliver any results ndash at least any results worth bragging about
Consider this question acuteKGRSHRSOHHQJDJHLQDEHKDYLRUJHW ORXVUHVXOWVDQGWKHQJRULJKWRQUHSHDWLQJWKHVDPHEHKDYLRUDOORYHUDJDLQmicro Why Because theyrsquore knuckleheads
You know who you are You know more about right and wrong than anyone else Yoursquove read the books taken the courses bought the tapes and watched the videos but yoursquore still a knucklehead
Now Irsquom not here to tell you to ignore all of the advice that yoursquove ever been given I would tell you that but yoursquore already too far-gone to hear that argument Instead Irsquom just going to give you a few lessons that signal danger like sitting in a metal chair in the middle of a lightning storm
Scoff if you want Dismiss me if you will But ignore me at your own risk and you ignore powerful signs at your own peril Got it knucklehead
This manifesto is also for all those know-it-alls who think they supposedly have it all together who know everything You know who you are - judge jury and executioner of all that is right and wrong If thatrsquos your view Irsquove got news for you yoursquore a knucklehead just for thinking that way

This powerful little report will poke you in the eye jab you in the ribs kick you in the shins and sock you in the belly when you engage in knucklehead behavior
The principles for both success and failure are surprisingly similar Success and failure are the result of daily disciplines that are practiced consistently the difference is the type of disciplines or behaviors that are practiced

Study anyone who has achieved a measure of greatness and you will be studying discipline in motion Discipline is the cornerstone of self-mastery
Study a knucklehead on the other hand and you will be studying procrastination in motion
You exercise discipline for the same reason you take a bath - without it you stink You may not be breaking any laws by not disciplining yourself but success requires a higher standard of performance and accountability than that

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground
Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

You must be keenly aware of the importance of maintaining the right image to ensure your professional reputation remains unblemished
Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility
Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner
People typically understand circumstances getting out of control They do not understand you getting out of control

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

The jig is up come on admit it You know yoursquore a knucklehead Why else would you be reading a manifesto on knuckleheads if you werenrsquot a knucklehead
The way I see it this manifesto is in your hands for one of three reasons
bull A friend or family member gave you a copy because they think yoursquore a knucklehead
bull A boss or co-worker gave you a copy because they are convinced yoursquore a knucklehead
bull You raided the piggy bank coughed up a few bucks and bought a copy for yourself because you KNOW yoursquore a knucklehead

It is the proverbial banana peel that we step on that slows us down beats us up or worse yet prevents us from achieving our goals
Knuckleheads fall madly in love head over heels go-go ga-ga about behavior that does not deliver any results ndash at least any results worth bragging about
Consider this question acuteKGRSHRSOHHQJDJHLQDEHKDYLRUJHW ORXVUHVXOWVDQGWKHQJRULJKWRQUHSHDWLQJWKHVDPHEHKDYLRUDOORYHUDJDLQmicro Why Because theyrsquore knuckleheads
You know who you are You know more about right and wrong than anyone else Yoursquove read the books taken the courses bought the tapes and watched the videos but yoursquore still a knucklehead
Now Irsquom not here to tell you to ignore all of the advice that yoursquove ever been given I would tell you that but yoursquore already too far-gone to hear that argument Instead Irsquom just going to give you a few lessons that signal danger like sitting in a metal chair in the middle of a lightning storm
Scoff if you want Dismiss me if you will But ignore me at your own risk and you ignore powerful signs at your own peril Got it knucklehead
This manifesto is also for all those know-it-alls who think they supposedly have it all together who know everything You know who you are - judge jury and executioner of all that is right and wrong If thatrsquos your view Irsquove got news for you yoursquore a knucklehead just for thinking that way

This powerful little report will poke you in the eye jab you in the ribs kick you in the shins and sock you in the belly when you engage in knucklehead behavior
The principles for both success and failure are surprisingly similar Success and failure are the result of daily disciplines that are practiced consistently the difference is the type of disciplines or behaviors that are practiced

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground
Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ
Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

Knuckleheads go down with the ship High-achievers know when to cut their losses and move on They lick their wounds heal quickly and produce the desired results they want Knuckleheads on the other hand wind up in the morgue or on life support There comes a time when quitting and walking away is the smartest thing to do

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now
20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground
Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting
If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions
This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Knuckleheads go down with the ship High-achievers know when to cut their losses and move on They lick their wounds heal quickly and produce the desired results they want Knuckleheads on the other hand wind up in the morgue or on life support There comes a time when quitting and walking away is the smartest thing to do

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now
20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground
Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ
Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground
Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ
Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground
Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground
Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Study a knucklehead on the other hand and you will be studying procrastination in motion
You exercise discipline for the same reason you take a bath - without it you stink You may not be breaking any laws by not disciplining yourself but success requires a higher standard of performance and accountability than that

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history
Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

Study anyone who has achieved a measure of greatness and you will be studying discipline in motion Discipline is the cornerstone of self-mastery
Study a knucklehead on the other hand and you will be studying procrastination in motion
You exercise discipline for the same reason you take a bath - without it you stink You may not be breaking any laws by not disciplining yourself but success requires a higher standard of performance and accountability than that

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground
Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground
Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history
Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions
This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history
Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions
This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history
Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions
This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history
Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting
If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions
This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now
20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

22 Always focus on results In the end that is all that matters
I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it
The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history
Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting
If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions
This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting
If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions
This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Time Management Tips
You can make adjustments immediately to improve how you manage yours and othersrsquo time
bull Start every conversation by asking ldquoIs this a good timerdquo
Doing so shows respect and courtesy and is the mark of a professional
bull 2IIHUDWLPHOLPLWDQGVSHFLAgraveFDJHQGDLQDGYDQFH
This will focus the conversation and speed things along
bull Ask for an agenda
When someone calls and asks for a meeting ask ldquoHow long do you need and what is the subject of our meetingrdquo
bull Stick to the time limit

Being unprepared for a meeting is the mark of a knucklehead Arriving unprepared is worse than missing the meeting altogether it is the equivalent of arriving at a restaurant in the nude Missing the meeting leaves everyone wondering if you are inept showing up unprepared removes all doubt

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting
If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions
This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility
Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

People typically understand circumstances getting out of control They do not understand you getting out of control

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

The second you write your goal down on paper you place your credibility on the line it may be only with yourself but thatrsquos where it matters most Isnrsquot that right knucklehead
ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ
Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now
20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

22 Always focus on results In the end that is all that matters
I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

The second you write your goal down on paper you place your credibility on the line it may be only with yourself but thatrsquos where it matters most Isnrsquot that right knucklehead
ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ
Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

In order to get results you must join those who have mastered the art of effective communication

Some want physical phone calls everyday with updates Others think of that as an annoyance Some only want written updates and email while others want a more intimate person-to-person approach
Neither is right or wrong however if you want to communicate your ideas effectively you must understand how those around you want their information delivered

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now
20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

22 Always focus on results In the end that is all that matters
I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

The second you write your goal down on paper you place your credibility on the line it may be only with yourself but thatrsquos where it matters most Isnrsquot that right knucklehead
ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ
Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished
This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks
Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior
If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Everything you say and do complements or compromises your character Always do the right thing because having character is much more important than being a character When all is said and done all a person has is their character and integrity nothing else really matters

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Knuckleheads go down with the ship High-achievers know when to cut their losses and move on They lick their wounds heal quickly and produce the desired results they want Knuckleheads on the other hand wind up in the morgue or on life support There comes a time when quitting and walking away is the smartest thing to do

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now
20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now
20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now
20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else
21 6SHDNDIAgraveUPDWLYHOsup2XVHSRVLWLYHODQJXDJH7DONDERXWZKDWRXZDQWZKRXZDQWLWDQGhow you will get it
22 Always focus on results In the end that is all that matters
I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads
Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead
