00:00I want you to imagine something for a moment imagine that every day is like a
00:07fresh canvas and you've got the brush in your hand and that brush that's the
00:14choices you make now the question is what will you paint you see every single
00:21day is an opportunity for improvement it's an opportunity to sharpen your
00:27skills refine your thinking and elevate your life to a higher level but it
00:33doesn't happen by chance you have to make it happen one of the greatest
00:40lessons I've learned is this success is nothing more than a few simple
00:45disciplines practiced every day failure on the other hand is simply a few errors
00:52and judgment repeated every day the difference between these two failure and
00:58success lies in the small things you choose to improve daily it's not the big
01:08changes it's the little changes the ones we sometimes overlook that make the
01:14biggest difference over time I've summed it up to about ten things that you must
01:20improve every day we're going to cover those ten areas but we're going to move
01:26through them quickly so we can move on to our goal workshop number one the first
01:35thing you must improve daily is your attitude how powerful your attitude is your
01:45attitude is the foundation on which your life is built if you improve it just a
01:50little each day you'll find that it changes everything about your day now you
01:56might say Jim it's just an attitude it's just how I feel well I'm telling you it's
02:05not just how you feel it's how you see the world it's how you approach problems how
02:10you handle challenges and how you relate to other people and it goes both ways your
02:18attitude is like a magnet it draws in opportunities or it pushes them away think
02:25about this have you ever met someone who is always negative someone who complains
02:30about everything no matter how good life is now how much success do you think
02:38they attract with that attitude probably not much and that's because their
02:45negative attitude creates a barrier to opportunities on the other hand someone
02:51with a positive attitude attracts opportunities like a magnet people want to
03:00be around them they want to work with them they want to help them they want to see
03:04them succeed so if you improve your attitude just a little every day maybe you
03:13work on being a little more optimistic maybe you work on being a little more
03:18patient you'll find that doors start to open that you never even knew were there
03:26now here's something to think about your attitude doesn't change overnight it's a
03:32slow and steady process you improve it bit by bit day by day maybe today you focus on
03:41being a little more grateful tomorrow you focus on being a little more resilient the next day you
03:50focus on finding solutions instead of dwelling on problems each day you add a small brick to the
03:58foundation of a better attitude and before you know it you've built something strong and
04:03lasting and I'm telling you when your attitude improves everything else starts to improve with it your
04:11relationships your work your health everything next you must work on your communication skills every day
04:21this is a huge factor in how successful you become why because everything in life involves communication
04:35whether you're talking to a friend making a business deal or simply interacting with your family
04:39communication is at the heart of it all
04:42and the better you are at communicating the better your relationships will be the better your business
04:51will run and the more influence you'll have in your community now let me clarify something
04:59communication isn't just about talking in fact some of the best communicators don't talk that much at all
05:08they listen they listen they listen carefully they listen with empathy they listen to understand not just to respond
05:18you see good communication is a two-way street it's about expressing your ideas clearly
05:26and understanding the ideas of others and you can improve this every day
05:31maybe today you work on being a better listener tomorrow you practice getting your point across
05:42without being aggressive the day after that you work on finding the right words to express how you feel
05:51each day you chip away at the rough edges of your communication style
05:56and you become someone people want to listen to and here's the real power of it when you communicate better
06:05you influence more you lead better you inspire others to take action
06:14tell me have you ever had a misunderstanding with someone because of poor communication
06:20maybe you thought they meant one thing but they meant something completely different
06:28and that little misunderstanding led to a big problem
06:32now imagine if you improved your communication just a little every day how many of those misunderstandings
06:41could you avoid how many conflicts could you resolve how much more trust could you build in your
06:49relationships it's worth thinking about isn't it
06:56next you must improve your self-discipline
07:01every day
07:03it's crucial
07:06you see self-discipline is the bridge between your goals and your accomplishments
07:12it's the ability to keep going when you don't feel like it
07:15it's the ability to do what needs to be done
07:20even when it's uncomfortable
07:24and here's the truth without self-discipline
07:28success is impossible
07:33you might have the best goals in the world the most brilliant ideas and all the talent you could ask for
07:38but if you don't have the discipline to follow through none of that matters
07:45self-discipline is like a muscle
07:48the more you work on it the stronger it gets
07:53and you can improve it a little every day
07:57maybe today you discipline yourself to wake up 15 minutes earlier
08:00tomorrow you discipline yourself to exercise even if you don't feel like it
08:08the next day you discipline yourself to stay focused on your work without getting distracted
08:16each of these little acts of discipline may seem small but when you add them up over time
08:23they create massive results
08:27now here's something to think about self-discipline isn't just about willpower
08:31it's about creating habits
08:36you see when you make something a habit it no longer requires as much discipline
08:44it becomes automatic so part of improving your self-discipline is building habits that support your goals
08:49for example if you make it a habit to read 10 pages of a good book every day
08:57you don't have to rely on willpower to learn and grow
09:01the habit takes over and your discipline becomes effortless
09:07i once knew a young man who was incredibly talented
09:11he had all the potential in the world but he lacked discipline
09:17he would start projects with great enthusiasm but he would never finish them
09:24he'd get distracted by the next shiny object the next new idea and leave the old one behind
09:33as a result he never made any real progress
09:38one day i sat down with him and i told him you've got to work on your discipline
09:43you've got to train yourself to stick with something until it's done
09:48even when it's hard even when it's boring even when you don't feel like it
09:55and you know what he took that advice to heart
10:00he started small just finishing one little project at a time
10:04and over time he developed the discipline to follow through on the big things
10:13today he's incredibly successful and he'll tell you that self-discipline was the key to it all
10:20another way to improve your mindset is to challenge your limiting beliefs
10:26you see many of us are held back not by external circumstances
10:30but by the beliefs we hold about ourselves in the world
10:36we think we can't do something because we've never done it before
10:39or because someone told us we're not good enough
10:46but those beliefs are just thoughts and thoughts can be changed
10:52so each day work on replacing those limiting beliefs with empowering ones
10:55instead of thinking i can't do this think i'm learning how to do this instead of thinking
11:07i'll never be successful think i'm on the path to success
11:14each day you improve your mindset just a little and over time you'll find that your entire outlook
11:18on life changes
11:20i once knew a man who struggled with his mindset
11:27he was constantly focused on the negatives in life
11:31he saw every obstacle as insurmountable every failure as final
11:37as a result he was stuck no matter how hard he tried he couldn't move forward
11:43one day i sat down with him and i told him you've got to work on your mindset
11:48you've got to stop focusing on what's wrong and start focusing on what's possible
11:56he took that advice to heart
12:00he started small reading a few pages of an uplifting book each morning practicing gratitude each night
12:06and slowly shifting his focus from problems to solutions
12:09over time his mindset transformed and so did his life
12:17he became more confident more resilient and more successful
12:22and it all started with the daily practice of improving his mindset
12:27next time management we have to pay close attention to time it's the one resource we all have the same
12:36amount of but how we use it makes all the difference
12:41you see time is precious and once it's gone you can never get it back
12:48so if you want to achieve great things in life you've got to learn how to manage your time wisely
12:57and the good news is time management is something you can improve every day
13:01maybe today you work on setting clearer priorities
13:07tomorrow you focus on eliminating distractions
13:13the next day you practice saying no to things that don't align with your goals
13:20each small improvement in how you manage your time adds up
13:23and before you know it you're getting more done in less time
13:30and you're focusing on the things that truly matter
13:38tell me how often do you find yourself busy but not productive
13:43how often do you spend your time on things that don't really move the needle while the important
13:47tasks get pushed to the side
13:50you see being busy is not the same as being productive
13:58and that's why improving your time management is so crucial
14:03it's about focusing on the right things at the right time in the right way one of the best ways
14:10to improve your time management is to start your day with a plan
14:15take a few minutes each morning to map out your priorities for the day
14:18what are the most important things you need to accomplish what can you delegate or eliminate
14:28and here's a key don't just plan your work plan your breaks too
14:35you see rest is just as important as action
14:39if you don't take time to recharge you'll burn out
14:42so make sure that you're managing your time in a way that includes both productivity and rest
14:55i've worked with many people over the years who struggled with time management
15:00they tell me jim i just don't have enough time to get everything done
15:03and i'd tell them you've got exactly the same amount of time as everyone else
15:13it's not about having more time it's about using the time you have more effectively
15:19so if you want to improve your life start by improving how you manage your time
15:23education it's a daily practice and with each day that you get a little better you'll find that your
15:32life starts to fall into place more smoothly next every day you must build and improve your knowledge
15:42now i'm telling you the world is constantly changing and if you're not learning you're falling behind
15:50the more you know the more you can do the more you can do the more value you can bring to the marketplace
16:00and the more value you bring the more rewards you receive so if you want to stay ahead in life
16:07you've got to improve your knowledge every single day how do you do that simple read listen study
16:15every day commit to learning something new maybe today you read an article about your industry
16:26tomorrow you listen to a seminar about personal development
16:31the next day you take a course to improve your skills each small investment in learning adds up
16:37you'll find that you're more knowledgeable more skilled and more prepared for whatever life throws your way
16:49and here's the thing learning doesn't stop when you leave school in fact that's when the real learning begins
16:59you see formal education will make you a living but self-education will make you a fortune
17:04the most successful people in the world are lifelong learners they never stop improving their knowledge
17:13because they know that the more they learn the more they can achieve
17:20mr shoaf was one of the smartest men i've ever met but he didn't become that way by chance
17:27he became that way by dedicating himself to learning every day
17:30he told me once jim the more you learn the more you earn and i took that to heart
17:42i started reading listening to tapes attending seminars anything i could do to improve my knowledge
17:47and you know what mr shoaf was right
17:50the more i learned the more opportunities came my way
18:01and the same will be true for you next there is never a good day to neglect your finances
18:10you see your financial situation is not just something that happens to you
18:15it's something you create and just like any other area of life it requires daily attention and improvement
18:26whether you're trying to get out of debt build wealth or simply create more financial security
18:32it starts with making small consistent improvements every day
18:38now here's the truth most people don't really understand money
18:41they know how to earn it but they don't know how to manage it
18:49and as a result they find themselves constantly struggling no matter how much they make
18:56but here's the good news you can improve your financial situation a little bit each day
19:04maybe today you start by tracking your expenses so you know where your money is going
19:09tomorrow you create a simple budget to make sure you're living within your means
19:17the next day you start setting aside a small percentage of your income for savings or investments
19:26each of these small steps adds up and before you know it you'll find that your finances are under control
19:33and growing
19:36i'm telling you it's not about how much money you make it's about how much money you keep
19:44you see some people make a lot of money but they spend it just as fast as they earn it
19:50they live paycheck to paycheck always on the edge of financial trouble
19:53but others who make less are able to save invest and build wealth because they've learned the principles of financial management
20:08and those principles can be learned by anyone
20:12you don't have to be a financial expert to improve your finances you just need to make small smart decisions every day
20:20one of the best pieces of financial advice i ever received was this spend less than you earn and invest the rest
20:30it sounds simple but it's powerful
20:35if you live by that principle every day your financial future will be secure
20:40but here's the key it requires discipline it requires the willingness to delay gratification
20:46it requires you to say no to unnecessary expenses today so that you can say yes to financial freedom tomorrow
20:58and that's something you can improve every day your ability to make smart financial decisions
21:03to manage your money wisely and to invest in your future
21:09tell me have you ever looked at your bank statement and wondered where did all my money go
21:17that's a sign that it's time to start improving your financial habits
21:22it's time to take control of your money instead of letting it control you
21:28and it doesn't take huge changes just small consistent improvements
21:34next personal development here's the key life is about growth if you're not growing you're standing still
21:47and if you're standing still you're falling behind so every day you've got to work on becoming a better version of yourself
21:57it's not about perfection it's about progress
21:59it's about constantly improving who you are how you think and what you do
22:06personal development is a lifelong journey and it's one that you can't afford to ignore
22:12maybe today you work on improving your self-awareness understanding your strengths
22:19your weaknesses your habits and your tendencies
22:23tomorrow you work on developing a new skill something that will help you in your career or personal life
22:35the next day you focus on improving your emotional intelligence
22:38learning how to manage your emotions and relate better to others
22:45each of these small improvements contributes to your overall growth
22:50and over time you'll find that you've become the person you always knew you could be
22:58one of the best things you can do for your personal development is to set goals
23:02clear specific goals that challenge you to grow
23:09but here's the key those goals must be aligned with your values your passions and your purpose
23:14and your purpose you see it's not just about achieving more it's about becoming more
23:23it's about becoming the kind of person who can achieve those goals
23:28and that's something you can work on every day
23:33maybe today you set a goal to read one chapter of a personal development book
23:36tomorrow you set a goal to practice a new habit for 10 minutes the next day you set a goal to reflect
23:48on your progress and adjust your course as needed each of these small actions moves you forward
23:55on your journey of personal growth
23:59now here's something important to understand personal development isn't just about learning new things
24:07it's also about unlearning the things that no longer serve you
24:14sometimes in order to grow you've got to let go of old habits old beliefs and old ways of thinking
24:21that are holding you back
24:24that's why personal development is an ongoing process
24:29you're constantly learning growing and evolving
24:33and the more you commit to that process the more you'll find that your life improves in every area
24:44one of the most powerful lessons i've learned about personal development is this
24:48you attract what you become
24:52if you want to attract success you must become successful in your habits in your thinking and in your
24:59actions
25:01if you want to attract great relationships you must become the kind of person who is worthy of great
25:08relationships
25:11if you want to attract abundance you must develop an abundant mindset
25:19and that's something you can work on every day
25:22you can become more disciplined more focused more positive and more successful by improving yourself
25:28just a little each day
25:31next
25:31your purpose
25:34purpose
25:36this one is so important
25:39you see purpose gives your life direction
25:43it's the reason you get up in the morning
25:45the thing that drives you to keep going even when things get tough
25:48and here's the key
25:51you've got to work on your purpose every day
25:56you got to constantly refine it deepen it and live it out in everything you do
26:03now some people will say jim i don't know what my purpose is
26:07and that's okay you see purpose isn't something you find all at once
26:11it's something you discover and develop over time
26:19and you can improve it a little every day
26:23maybe today you spend some time reflecting on what's truly important to you
26:27tomorrow you take a small step in the direction of your dreams
26:31the next day you align your actions with your values
26:35each day you make progress toward living a life of purpose
26:41and before you know it you'll find that your purpose becomes clearer stronger and more fulfilling
26:50here's the thing when you live with purpose everything else falls into place
26:57your work becomes more meaningful your relationships become deeper your challenges become opportunities for growth
27:05purpose is the foundation on which a fulfilling life is built and it's something you can work on every day
27:16i once met a man who had everything money success fame but he was deeply unhappy
27:21he couldn't figure out why
27:25one day we had a he had a conversation and i asked him what's your purpose what's the reason you're doing all of this
27:35he couldn't answer he had spent so much time chasing success that he had lost sight of why he wanted it in the first place
27:46i told him you've got to find your purpose and you've got to live it every day
27:54he took that advice to heart he started focusing on what truly mattered to him helping others making a difference
28:02living a life of significance
28:06and you know what his entire life changed
28:11he found happiness fulfillment and a sense of peace that he had never experienced before
28:17and it all started with the daily practice of living with purpose
28:22..next one of the most important things to work on everyday is being grateful
28:34gratefulness is one of the most powerful emotions you can cultivate
28:36and it has the ability to transform your life in way you can't even imagine
28:40You see, when you focus on what you're grateful for
28:45You shift your attention away from what's missing in your life
28:49And toward what's already good
28:51And when you do that, you attract more good into your life
28:57Being grateful is something you can practice every day
29:02And it doesn't take much
29:04Maybe today you take a moment to appreciate the people in your life who support you
29:10Tomorrow you focus on the small blessings you often take for granted
29:16Your health, your home, your job
29:19The next day you show a little gratitude for the challenges that have helped you grow
29:25When you're grateful, your mindset shifts from scarcity to abundance
29:31And over time, you'll find that your entire outlook on life changes
29:36Tell me, have you ever had a bad day where everything seemed to go wrong?
29:44We've all been there
29:46But here's the secret
29:48Even on those days, there's something to be grateful for
29:52Maybe it's the lesson you learned from a mistake
29:56Maybe it's the strength you gained from overcoming a challenge
30:02When you focus on being grateful, even the tough times become valuable
30:07And that's the real power of it
30:10Gratefulness is one of those things that multiplies the more you practice it
30:16The more you focus on what you're grateful for
30:21The more you'll find to be grateful for
30:23It's like a snowball rolling down a hill
30:28It gets bigger and bigger with each day that you practice it
30:32And here's the best part
30:35When you live being grateful, you attract more of the things you're grateful for
30:40You create a positive cycle of abundance, joy, and fulfillment
30:46That grows stronger with each passing day
30:49Now being grateful isn't just about feeling good
30:53It's also about taking action
30:56You see, when you're truly grateful for something
31:00You want to give back
31:02You want to contribute
31:04To help others
31:05To make a difference
31:07And that's another reason why being grateful
31:10Is so powerful
31:12It not only improves your own life
31:15But it also inspires you to improve the lives of others
31:19When you make gratefulness a daily practice
31:23It begins to change not just your perspective
31:26But also your behavior
31:28Being grateful has a way of softening us
31:32Of making us more generous
31:34More patient
31:35More compassionate
31:36You see, when you focus on what you have
31:41When you appreciate the small and the big blessings in your life
31:44You start to release that sense of scarcity
31:50That fear of not having enough
31:54And that's powerful
31:57Because when you stop living in fear
32:00You start living in abundance
32:01And I'm telling you
32:04Living in abundance is one of the greatest shifts
32:06You can make in your life
32:09Gratefulness is like a muscle
32:13You've got to work on it daily
32:15For it to grow strong
32:16Every day
32:19Take a moment to reflect on what you're grateful for
32:21And it doesn't have to be
32:24Big things
32:26Maybe
32:28Today
32:29You're grateful
32:30For the sunshine
32:31Tomorrow
32:33You're grateful for the fact that you have food on your table
32:36The next day
32:38You're grateful for the lessons you've learned through hardship
32:41Whatever it is
32:44Find something
32:46Even if it's small
32:48You see, the key isn't the size of the thing you're grateful for
32:52The key is the act of being grateful itself
32:55Now I'm telling you
32:58Being grateful doesn't mean ignoring problems
33:01It doesn't mean pretending everything is perfect when it's not
33:06Life has its challenges
33:10But when you practice being grateful
33:14You develop the resilience to face those challenges without being overwhelmed by them
33:18You learn to say
33:22Yes
33:24This is hard
33:26But I'm still grateful for the strength to get through it
33:29You see, gratefulness shifts your focus from what's wrong to what's right
33:34And that gives you the energy
33:36The courage
33:37And the perspective
33:39To keep moving forward
33:41There was a woman I knew who was going through a very difficult time in her life
33:47She had lost her job
33:50Her relationship had ended
33:52And she was feeling lost
33:54Every day seemed like a struggle
33:58One day we sat down and I told her
34:02You've got to find something to be grateful for
34:06Even in the midst of this storm
34:08At first, she thought it was impossible
34:12But she started small
34:15Each day, she wrote down one thing she was grateful for
34:19No matter how small
34:21Slowly, day by day
34:24Her perspective began to change
34:26She began to see opportunities
34:29Where she once saw obstacles
34:31She started to rebuild her life
34:34And today
34:35She's happier
34:36And more successful
34:38Than she ever was before
34:39And she'll tell you that it all started with being grateful
34:43Now there's one more thing I want to emphasize about being grateful
34:49It's contagious
34:50When you're grateful about everything
34:54People around you notice
34:55It spreads
34:58Your positive outlook
35:00Inspires others to see the good
35:01In their own lives
35:02Your generosity encourages others
35:06To be generous
35:07Your appreciation for life
35:10Lifts others out of their negativity
35:12So when you practice
35:15Gratefulness every day
35:16You're not just improving
35:18Your own life
35:20You're improving
35:21The lives of those around you
35:23And that's a powerful thing
35:27So think about your life right now
35:30Think about the areas we've talked about
35:34Your attitude
35:35Communication
35:37Discipline
35:39Your relationships
35:41Your mindset
35:42Time management
35:44Your finances
35:46Personal development
35:47Your purpose
35:49And being grateful
35:52How many of these areas
35:54Could benefit from just a little improvement
35:56Every day
35:56And what would your life look like
36:00If you committed to making those small
36:03Daily improvements
36:04And that's it
36:07The key to lasting change
36:09Isn't found in making one big leap
36:11It's found in the small
36:14Consistent actions you take
36:16Every day
36:17That's where the real magic happens
36:21That's where the transformation occurs
36:24I've seen it time and time again
36:28People who commit to improving
36:30Just a little bit each day
36:31Who focus on the process
36:33Rather than the outcome
36:34End up
36:36Achieving extraordinary things
36:38Why?
36:41Because success
36:42Is the natural result of small disciplines
36:44Repeated over time
36:46So tell me
36:49What small improvement
36:50Can you make today?
36:53What's one area of your life
36:54Where you can start
36:55Applying
36:56These principles
36:58Right now?
37:01Maybe it's your finances
37:03Maybe you take a look at your spending
37:04And make one small adjustment
37:06Maybe it's your relationships
37:09Maybe you reach out to someone
37:11And tell them you appreciate them
37:12Whatever it is
37:17Start today
37:19Don't wait for the perfect time
37:21Don't wait for everything
37:23To be lined up just right
37:24Start with what you have
37:27Where you are
37:28And make a commitment
37:29To improve a little bit every day
37:31So
37:34I want to know
37:35What's
37:36One small thing
37:38You can do today
37:39To start building that discipline
37:41What's one area of your life
37:44Where you can start making
37:45Those small daily improvements
37:46Remember
37:49It doesn't have to be big
37:50It doesn't have to be perfect
37:52It just has to be consistent
37:55Because over time
37:58Those small actions compound
38:00And before you know it
38:02You'll be standing in a place
38:04You never thought possible
38:05And remember the power of purpose
38:08It's what gives meaning
38:10To all these daily improvements
38:12It's the why
38:14Behind everything you do
38:16And when you have a clear sense of purpose
38:20Everything else falls into place
38:22Your discipline becomes stronger
38:25Your gratitude becomes deeper
38:27And your motivation
38:29Becomes unstoppable
38:32But here's the thing
38:36Purpose isn't something
38:37That's handed to you
38:39It's something you discover
38:40And cultivate over time
38:42And just like everything else
38:44We've talked about
38:45It's something you can improve
38:47A little bit each day
38:48Maybe today
38:52You take some time
38:52To reflect on what truly matters to you
38:55Tomorrow
38:58You take a step
38:58Toward aligning your actions
38:59With your values
39:00The next day
39:04You look for ways
39:04To serve others
39:05And make a difference
39:07Each of these small steps
39:11Brings you closer
39:12To living a life of purpose
39:13And when you live with purpose
39:16Everything else in your life
39:18Becomes more meaningful
39:19More fulfilling
39:20And more rewarding
39:22I want to make sure
39:26You remember this
39:27When you go home
39:28So jot this down
39:30Life is a journey
39:33Not a destination
39:34And that journey
39:38Is made up of the small
39:39Daily steps you take
39:40Every day
39:42You have the opportunity
39:43To improve
39:44Every day
39:45You have the chance
39:46To become a little bit better
39:48Than you were yesterday
39:49And when you make the commitment
39:52To improve yourself
39:54Every day
39:54In every area of your life
39:56You'll find that
39:58The journey itself
39:58Is the reward
40:00So
40:03What are you going to improve today?
40:05What small
40:06Consistent action
40:07Are you going to take
40:08To move closer
40:09To the life
40:09You want to live?
40:12Remember
40:13It's not about
40:13Making a giant leap
40:14It's about taking
40:15One small step
40:17At a time
40:18Every single day
40:20And when you do that
40:23You'll be amazed
40:24At what you can achieve
40:25Over time
40:26That's the real secret
40:29To success
40:30It's not about luck
40:31Or talent
40:32Or even hard work
40:33It's about the small
40:36Disciplines
40:36The daily improvements
40:39The little choices
40:41You make every day
40:42And those choices
40:46My friends
40:46Are in your hands
40:47I hope that lands
40:51With you
40:51And I'm confident
40:52That as you begin
40:53To focus on these
40:53Small daily improvements
40:55You'll start to see
40:57Remarkable changes
40:58In your life
40:58Keep going
41:00Keep improving
41:01And remember
41:03Success is not
41:04Something you pursue
41:05It's something you attract
41:07By the person you become
