BUY TIME – THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Time is one of the most important factors to attain success in life. But all of us have a limited amount of time in our lives. Thus, the secret is – Buy Time.
PRICELESS ASSET
If one is asked – what is your most valuable resource – majority would say their degrees, skillsets or money. While no doubt these are meaningful strengths, what we don’t realize is, our priceless asset is time. Learning to utilize time to the fullest extent is the attribute of all great achievers.
LONG HOURS OF DEDICATION
Life is a very challenging and competitive journey where thousands of people are vying to reach the space of success – therefore, one has to be very well prepared to take on this contest. Reaching new heights require one to develop more and more skills and attain higher levels of perfection, which in turn necessitate intense learning and practice. Thus, the more time you have, the better you can build yourself.
OUR MISTAKE
Our basic mistake is not understanding the value of time in monetary terms. Yes, Time=Money. Undeniably, learning brings earning. So, the more time you have, building additional skills you can develop and deliver more remunerative work.
But most of us do everything by ourselves to save a few pennies and end up losing our precious time with which we could have achieved much more, and later earned in greater abundance. Another grave offence is not wastage of money but aimlessly whiling away time. That apart, these engagements take away a lot of energy that result in reduced performance.
Remember, we can always regain money that is lost, but you can never turn the clock back and change your course of life the way you would ideally want.
Thus, mismanagement of time, unknowingly though, takes away a significant part of our limited existence that life offers. These precious hours can bring out the best and highest potential in us, if we judiciously utilize every second of our journey.
SOLUTION - BUY TIME
Thus the best way to acquire more time is to buy time from others. Yes, hours and days and months can be bought and sold! All of us, though transact time are unaware of this practice. Employees or service providers sell not just their skills but also equally important time. For instance, the number of working hours are equated for remuneration. On the other hand, employers buy others’ time through the jobs they offer at their organization.
INCREASE YOUR TIME
Double, triple or quadruple your productive hours by delegating much of your secondary work and all avoidable assignments to hired hands. This conservation of time and energy is the most prudent decision so that one’s focus can be entirely on their primary goals. Buying time is nothing but outsourcing your secondary requirements to others - from buying vegetables to cooking to teaching your children at home or replacing your visits for different personal errands. The productive hours you save is far more precious for accomplishing your specific objectives, and even the monetary value of your deemed productivity is far more than what you have to pay to those contracted helps.
In short, conserve your own time and energy and supplement that momentum with the hired hours of others to maximize your output.
