My Every Minute Might Be More Precious Than Yours
Many of us give little attention to ‘’ minutes ‘’ we have in a day.
A minute is a vital instrument for success, the way you spend your time will eventually determine what you have by the end the year. Minutes are more like pennies, the more pennies you put together the more dollars you accumulate.
In a day we have 24hrs and 1440 minutes, but only one single minute can change your life forever. Okay let’s get an example. If you have unprotected sex with an HIV/AIDS infected person with in one minute you will be a victim too. So this minute will have defined all the other hours you’re going to spend on earth.
According to my experience, every achievement I have acquired in the past 25 years is based on respecting a minute.
So how can a minute become very important towards your success? The answer is very simple, ‘’decision’’. To make a decision takes a minute, to act on that decision takes a minute too , hence making one minute very important towards success.
Ask you’re self, why some people earn 50 lacs per year while others earn 5 lacs per year. It’s because these people spend their minutes differently. And what’s amazing the one who earns 5 lacs a year works a lot more than the one who earns 50 lacs a year.
In my profession all these small things play a very vital role. My latest project is an online classifieds and yellow pages. Now we all know the importance of these two things for any business. Placing an advertisement in any of the two takes not more than 5 minutes. Am meeting atleast 5% of the advertisers myself so that i will know what people expect more from such services.
Lemme give you an example of how few people waste others time. We fixed an appointment with one of the doctors who showed interest in placing the advertisement in our yellow pages. This particular doctor gave me the appointment for 17:30 hrs PRECISE…. but he came to his own clinic at 1800 hrs… now… i know doctors are pretty busy people. To finish a five minutes discussion he took over 150 minutes (not because we were discussing but he was busy in handling his patients, mind you they were not serious cases, they could have waited). By now I had wasted my precious 180 minutes. We had to schedule the meeting for the next day as he didn’t had the photographs for the advertisement. DAMN.. Why the hell then u wasted my time?
Respecting his profession I excused him for that… see am so generous 
As per appointment I reached his clinic at 0930 hrs sharp but he didnt showed up till 10 am. Finally after giving him a call and being adviced to sit in his clinic for few more minutes i waited for an hour but he didn’t turn up… NOW… I called him once again and he said that he was so busy but he took out time to leave from his another clinic to meet me but for another case he had to return back, in the meanwhile he lost business from one patient. Instead of accepting his own fault he blamed me for his business loss. I would have shown him the loss that I made in 180+90=270 minutes, if he was sensible or responsible enough.
I meet atlest 5 new people everyday but most of them work to earn for themselves, but I invest the same amount of time on my services which give earning potential to thousands of our subscribers. So, who’s time is more costly, Mine Or Theirs?
This topic is not actually about my or your time. It’s about OUR time. The way we manage our time will make the whole difference.
