We’ve all heard of the KISS principle… Keep It Simple Stupid. Well, I don’t like that. Too negative and too derogatory. I like the following a lot better:

Keeping It Successfully Simple

This is a better outlook. It describes a process and an attitude that will focus you on the essentials… the priorities.

See… today life has become so complex with so many demands on our time and resources that we lose focus on what matters and what is important. This leads us to getting overwhelmed. We forget to do the things that we know will help us. Instead we respond to the events that happen around us and to us.

This way leads us to working on someone else’s priorities and goals every time. Guaranteed.

So, how do we combat this?

K.I.S.S. It!

One of the rules of success I learned from Jim Rohn was that Success comes from repeating simple disciplines every day. Failure comes from repeating simple errors in judgment every day.

In my opinion the errors in judgment come from overworking things… making them more complicated than they need to be.

The simple disciplines are nothing more than doing the little things correctly every day.

What happens to your life and your business in one year if you spend 365 days doing the little things each and every day that move your business along a little bit?

What if you make just a couple of calls a day? EVERY DAY?

What if you talk to just one person a day? EVERY DAY?

What if you picked one goal a day and worked on it for just 15 minutes? EVERY DAY?

What if you read your goals and your vision when you get up and before you go to bed? EVERY DAY?

These are little things. These are simple things. They don’t take a lot of time. They don’t even have an immediate impact on most days. Individually, they don’t seem like much. Even a month’s worth added up doesn’t seem like much.

BUT…

These actions, done daily, don’t ADD up. They MULTIPLY.

Doing these things is easy. Did you know that not doing them is even easier? If it weren’t, everyone would already be successful. So, it does take a little more effort to do these little things each day. But the effort is truly insignificant. Just the four things I listed above for instance could take less than an hour of time. Spread that out over the entire day and I bet you could fit it in and not even give up your TV time at night.

The best part is that even when you do it that way, you will voluntarily give up the things that are mindless distractions like TV. You will be too excited about your life and your goals to waste time doing nothing.

Doing the K.I.S.S. It! method will gain momentum and speed in your life. You may not see it for weeks or even months. You may think the results you see at first are nothing to shout over.

But do it for a year like I suggest…

Heck, do it for 30 days!

Compare where you are then with where you are now. Then do it for another 30 days. Compare where you are then with where you are now and where you were at 30 days. Keep doing it until you see nothing good come of it, either in attitude or results.

So, will you K.I.S.S. It!?
