TIME IS MONEY

Time is the most valuable resources given to man. It is the only acceptable currency, which is peculiar to the whole world. If you have a lot of money and no time, you’re still a poor person. A billionaire who has just a week to live might not be able to do anything tangible with the money. God does not give us money; he gives us time and we convert it to money. Your success in business life will be determined by your ability to use your time wisely. Your life is an accumulation of years; your years an accumulation of months, your months an accumulation of days, and your days an accumulation of hours. Looking at your life from this perspective, you will be more focus on how you spend your time.

KEYS TO USING YOUR TIME WELL
- Place Value on your time
If you have to quantify your time in monetary value, how valuable is it? How much would it be? In the universe today, we have the time wasters and the time savers. People have a lot of time to waste because they have nothing to do with it, they have no goals. On the other hand, people who have goals are so busy about reaching those goals and they have no time to spare.
- Be goal oriented
Because your time is as valuable as your goals, you must learn to place a high premium on your goals. Always approach everything you do with a goal in mind.
- Eliminate distraction
Distraction simply means to pull away from. Every single day of your life, people and circumstances will come your way from your goal. Distraction comes in various forms but they all have one purpose; to break your focus and waste your time. So keep focus and take responsibility to recognize it.

Your time is like an empty space; its value is determined by what you put into it. Don’t give everybody and everything free access to your space. Otherwise, it will quickly become a rubbish dump. Create your own space and fill with precious and pleasant things. Like anything else in life, time if left on its own, will go in any direction. Your times are precious, harness and use it well.
