When Nido Qubein, noted speaker came to the United States when he was a teenager, he spoke very little English, had only $50 in his wallet, and knew no one. He has built a considerable career as a gifted speaker, inspired me along the way, and has authored several dozen books about business, communication and the art of persuasion. Huzzah, Nido!Nido suggests that instead of focusing on time management as a central goal, to instead look at Energy Management. Life is about focus, not just ideas; it's not just about execution, but about doing things with minimal investment.As you've read many times in my newsletters, the lack of time is the dominant excuse people use for why they have not written their book, created a successful business, done this, done that. Since we all have the same amount of time in a day, and almost everyone I know has a busy life full of work and play, family and friends, it really comes down to where you are focusing your energy that determines your ability to accomplish your objectives.So what obstacles keep you from moving toward your goal? How exactly are you using your twenty four hours each and every day? If you want a better understanding of how you miss the chance to direct your energy, here are three steps that can help you:First, identify the obstacles---and have the guts to remove them.What are you tolerating in your life? What can you say no to? What choices can you make that will give you more energy? Once you identify them, change them. No one but you can make you do anything. So start choosing for yourself first.Second, pave the path---do what works.What is the most efficient path to your destination? How can you conserve energy in getting from point A to point B? What can you put in place that will save you energy? Better yet, what will give you energy?Third, begin with zero-based thinking - assume nothing, step out of the box and shred it behind you. Innovation is the key. Begin intentionally to focus your energy into the channels that are most effective.What can you do to totally turn your world on its head, again with minimal energy use? What possibilities exist that you might not have taken into consideration?Take the three steps from above and write your answers to the questions. I think you'll be surprised by what is taking your energy.
