How to Apply the P10 Principle to All the Facets of Your Life
If you are reading this section of Great! All the Time!, then I assume you are well-employed in either your own business or someone else’s business or want to get better employed in either your own business or someone else’s business. Most aspiring people fall into one of these four categories, but they still have what I call an unrequited desire for Greatness!
In a world where most people wake up each day wanting to do better and go to bed each night wondering why they did not do better that day, Continue reading “How to Apply the P10 Principle to All the Facets of Your Life”
Your Business Facet
Your business facet is one of the four most important facets of your life. While your business is very important (it’s what you do in order to pay for what you want to do), it is not more important than your personal relationships.
What do I mean by this? Continue reading “Your Business Facet”

What’s Your Cha-Ching!
Most owned people live their lives focused on pleasing everyone around them. Family, friends, teachers, bosses, investors, suppliers, customers – whoever. What all these others want becomes what that owned person wants. When you are an owned person, your life becomes a mere and meager reflection of what those who own you want.
Owned people spend so much of their life’s precious resources trying to be true to others they in fact become false to themselves. Until you subordinate what others in your life want from you and perceive the detailed vision of what it is you want out of your life first, you will not be able to own your own life.
What you want in life is your own “Cha-ching!”
Up until the late 1900’s, almost all of us grew up playing “Store” and we continued to play the game as adults hearing the familiar and comforting sound “Cha-ching!”, the noise of a cash register ringing, as the indicative satisfying sound of success.
- “Cha-ching!” – and a sale in life was made.
- “Cha-ching!” – and a want, need, or desire was satisfied.
- “Cha-ching!” – and property or services were shifted between a buyer and a seller in life.
- “Cha-ching!” – and a profit was made.
- “Cha-ching!” – and both parties, buyer and seller, had more of what they wanted more and less of what they wanted less.
We were all brought up to live running a store and working to hear that “Cha-ching!” while our lives became bought and owned by others as we became driven by our greed to profit in life and acquire more property than we could reasonably use, and we continued to be driven by our fear of losing whatever we worked so hard to acquire. Don’t get me wrong here though. I’m not against working in a store – even if it is someone else’s; though I feel it is definitely better to own the store than it is to run it. Commerce is the engine that cycles our property resources. So ring away, my friend.
Still, in order to become Great! All the time!, you have to figure out how to keep ringing the cash register by serving others in your life, but only as part of ringing your own register first and foremost as you make your life go “Cha-ching!” for whatever is most important to you. You can only move forward, however, by seeking your own Cha-ching!, your personal definition of being Great! All the time!, by peeling away the unnecessary layers making you remain being owned by your life.
