Hope you had a good Thursday?

As promised a few new phrases for you to think about today. These are from Stuart Ross’s presentation at Momentum day last weekend - almost a week ago already - hard to believe - Time flies!

So: BRULES = Bullshit rules.

These are the kind of rules that just don’t make sense anymore. Rules like Time is Money or If you want a job done well do it yourself. 

In the digital world time is time and money is money - unless you are being paid by the hour for your services there really isn’t anything linking the two. 

You could take an hour or two to write a great blog post or record a great video or to place an advert any of which (with the right system and products) could earn you $thousands. This could happen a day, a week, a month or a year later …. 

There are lots of other BRULES like the one that says you need to choose a career, study for it and get a job. Then you need to work 40 hours a week (see time is money) for 40 years and retire on 40% of your income. 

BLISCIPLINE: Bliss + Discipline. Making sure you are always “in your flame” ie. Happy because it’s actually happiness that leads to success. You need to have the discipline to make sure what you do is making you happy. 

MOOKY: Morning sex. As you can imagine this was quite a funny part of Stuart’s presentation. Seriously though it’s a fact that sex in the morning can seriously boost your happiness  - not a bad way to start the day. 

GRATITUDE: Being grateful for what you have has been proven to boost happiness by 25% Make it a point to acknowledge the things you are grateful for. 

Personally I’m grateful to be able to write this from a fabulous part of my favourite country overlooking the sea - a place where I’d never have found a job. 

I’m grateful that I don’t have a boss, don’t have to rely on a failing economy and have plenty of free time to read, write, take photographs and play guitar. 

Wow!  - I’m 25% happier already! 

Cheers
