How to Get Anything You Want 10X Faster If you set out to build a new house in five years, it will take you five years. If you have a hard deadline and have to build that same house in six months or your family will be out in the cold all winter, it will take you six months. Any task takes the time allotted. Here’s an example. I was recently in the office the day before a long business trip. I had way too much to do and not enough time to do it. I sat down in the at my desk in the morning with the same number of hours in the day as I have any other day but with far more on my plate than I could accomplish. By the time I left the office at the end of the day, everything was complete. Why? Why did I get…. three times more done on this particular day then on any other day? Because I had to. When you have to do something, you do it. The reason most people don’t exercise enough is because they dont have to. The excuse is  “I don’t have time” but if you get a phone call from the school and you have to pick up your sick daughter and take her to the doctor immediately, you do it. It takes two hours out of your day but by tomorrow that missing two hours has dissolved into your day and you never miss it. You had to take your sick child to the doctor-- it was a priority. And if you had to catch up at work because you missed two hours, you would… if you had to. So here’s the question. Do you want to succeed? Do you want to get to the next level? Do you want to live your ideal life filled with purpose, wealth, happiness and fulfillment? Do you want to lose 10 lbs? Do you want to have a better relationship with your spouse? Do you want to? Or do you have to? Then what are you doing today to make that happen? Is there a deadline set? If not, it will always be a dream. If you do have a deadline, then you will achieve it. If you have already identified your goals and your ideal life, then set a deadline for when you want to achieve it. When you do you will be halfway there because the things that you need to get there will simply show up. Things like motivation and willpower and opportunities and solutions. The things that you fear will no longer be insurmountable obstacles but instead they’ll just be challenges that you will simply have to overcome in order to meet the deadline for your dream. So when is it? When is your deadline for arriving? I am, on a small scale, in fact, using this tactic right now. Normally it takes me 45 minutes to write the first draft of a blog post. However, I’ve been interrupted several times and am just about out of time to complete this. Instead of pushing my writing off until tomorrow, I gave myself a deadline. Fifteen minutes. I said out loud, “I will complete this blog post draft in fifteen minutes.” It’s an absurd goal because it always takes much longer to write my first draft. Guess what? Fifteen minutes later… draft complete. Thirty minutes of my life saved. Thirty minutes! How do you think Oprah Winfrey, and Richard Branson get so much done in the same 24 hours that you and I have? They get it done. Because they have to. What do you have to accomplish today to move toward achieving your goals? What do you have to do today to move toward living your ideal life? You can think about this or you can take action. As my good friend Dr Rob Gilbert of the success hotline likes to say, thought determines what you want. Action determines what you get…. ACTION determines what you get. Download my free goal setting worksheet to get clear on your goal, the action steps, the deadline and other important components of an effective goal.

We are lured into believing that success comes to people by pure luck… good genes, a connected parent, being in the right place at the right time. Sure, there are people who get lucky. We’re lured into looking at them as if luck is the only way to be successful. But those cases are one in a million. In the case of the lottery-- like the Powerball-- it’s more like one in hundreds of millions. It’s easier to believe in luck than to believe the truth. It’s easier to believe that we can be successful from luck than it is to believe that it came from hard work and struggle. That it came after many, many failures and nights laying in bed riddled with self-doubt. We can all find reasons why the other guy had it made, had an easier path or had more luck. Like when Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg, won the NCAA division I wrestling championship. When he first started wrestling, everyone say, “Poor Anthony. He’ll never win a match. He’s only got one leg.” Years later-- after more failures than most of us have been through-- he figured out how to make his handicap his advantage and people started saying, “Yeah, sure he won but he only has one leg… you can’t hit a double leg takedown on him… you can’t use the same breakdowns you would on a two-legged wrestler.” What about you?  Why are you lucky? As lucky as, say, Anthony Robles? Whether you were born to a wealthy family or to a poor family, both can be seen as an advantage if you choose to see it as an advantage. You grew up wealthy so you had more opportunity and had more experiences. You grew up poor so you’re hungrier and aren’t afraid of getting your hands dirty. You can see it as a factor in your favor or you can choose to see it as something holding you back.  It’s a choice. My good friend Charlie Brenneman recently wrote a blog post about his fledgling motivational speaking career. He wrote about how he stumbled into an opportunity to speak to a large corporation. Turns out there were all kinds of friends and family connections that led him there. It all came from one random email that he decided to send to an organization to see if they might be interested in his service. Luck? Sure. But he also sent 100 other emails that were dead ends. He failed 100 more times than he succeed. You can call it luck or hard work. They’re not really that much different when you look at the end result. One you control. One you don’t. There’s always a reason to believe that you have the edge. And there’s always a reason to believe that the other guy has the edge that you don’t have. What you believe is a choice. No matter what your background, experience level, prior success, up-bringing, education or socio-economic status, simply choosing to believe that you have the edge is the key. Because you do. I believe that you have the edge…. What is it? If you had to identify your edge in the next 60 seconds, what would it be? This podcast is almost over but take the next 60 seconds to identify why YOU have an unfair advantage to succeed in what you want to accomplish. And, if you enjoyed this episode, I hope you’ll consider sharing it with just one person. Shoot them an email, a text, a tweet, a message on FB… whatever… and tell them to check out the Wrestling with Success podcast by Jim Harshaw Jr. Have a great day! ==== Let's connect:  Website | Facebook | Twitter About Your Host Jim Harshaw My name is Jim Harshaw.

I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires. Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I’ve been lucky. I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have. I will show you how. Why You are Here You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track. You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow. Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.
