Why Some People Have More Time

"What is the most bold, outrageous, provocative statement you can make in your market?"

Chris Barrow - The Coaching Business School - Vancouver, February 16th, 2005.

Chris Barrow is a world class coach, who specializes in working with coaches that want to grow their "coaching business", and he is my coach.

OK Chris - I hear you - so here goes.....

BOLD:

My name is Simon Reilly and I am a principal of Leading Advisor.

I know how to help my clients create 30% more profit and 20% more time for what they enjoy doing so that they don't have to give up their lives for their businesses.

One of the number one things that sabotage most people's goals is that they succumb to the pitfalls of poor, or the lack, of time management.

I also know that most people try to use a one size fits all time management system and they do not understand "Behavioral Time Management".

OUTRAGEOUS:

I believe that through a personalized "Behavioral Time Management" Assessment and follow up "Behavioral Time Management" Teleclass, I can transform your business and/or personal life by helping you to identify your strengths and the areas to strengthen that are the blocks that are stopping you from being all that you can be. I have worked with these proven strategies for 15 years working with hundreds and hundreds of people to generate "more profit & more time".

PROVOCATIVE:

If you do as you are asked - it will work. If you don't do as you are asked - it will not work.

If you don't do it - there are no refunds. If you don't like it - there is an unconditional 100% money-back guarantee.

If you don't like me - get over it and just adapt the material - I am just the conduit.

- Simon

Do you begin each year hoping that things will get better and then find yourself back in the same problems that have dogged you for years?
Would you like a brand new personalized approach to time management that is not a one size fits all?
Would you like to be able to do that with minimal investment of time and money RIGHT NOW?

I can probably best explain to you why we have decided to offer the "Behavioral Time Management" by sharing with you a defining moment in my life.

In 1994 I lost a business and this came as a major surprise to my clients, my team, my friends and my family. Why was it a surprise? It was because "Simon Reilly" had always been viewed as a "super-salesperson". Give him a sales record and he could break it.

I was the owner of a highly regarded and successful personal and professional development company. I was a popular and regular speaker in the personal and professional development circle.

I had attended just about every personal and professional development course known to man. I and many others thought I knew all about time, finance, sales, marketing, leadership and personal development.

But I lost the business.

Why?

Looking back - it was simply because I didn't pay attention to the detail.

What did I learn?

That the most important business activity I could engage in wasn't the mastery I had achieved in marketing and sales (even I couldn't sell my way out) - it was the planning, preparation and time management systems that went into the organizational structure on which my business operated.

"I started working with Simon over 6 years ago with a mandate to double my income and provide me with more time for myself, my family and to enable me to work on my business versus always having to work on it. I met and exceeded the mandate within the first year and have forged ahead to build a Financial Advisor Practice with a strong team of specialists that provide Critical Illness, Group Insurance, Life Insurance and Money Management."

A major component to planning and preparation is time management. And even though, I am almost embarrassed to say it today, I had repeatedly taken the best "one size fits all" time management program of the day, 6 times over the course of 6 years, I was still struggling with time management.

During my journey I discovered a unique "Behavioral Time Management" Assessment and through my own experience and working with the assessment with hundreds and hundreds of my clients, both my clients and I observed significant results. Through my experience I also created a companion follow up "Behavioral Time Management" Teleclass.

For some years now I have been working with clients in my year-long program and now, for the first time ever, I intend to share the "Behavioral Time Management" Assessment and follow up "Behavioral Time Management" Teleclass as a stand alone product for those who:

  • Do not yet want to commit to a full year of coaching
  • Would like a "taster" of what the year's coaching would be like
  • Would like a booster to help to get 2005 going
  • Would like a refresher (past clients)
  • Have limited financial resources available at present as they are building a new business
  • Would like to introduce my concepts to a friend or team member who has not yet been Simonized

I ask you to take a moment and answer the following question...

If you could identify and find ways to eliminate the blocks that hinder your time management - what difference would it make?

You know how some people arrive at January 1st each year, possibly having made some resolutions over the Christmas holiday season to "do things differently" in either their personal or professional lives?

Which means that they start the year full of enthusiasm but soon settle back into old traditions and habits that are unique to their Behavioral Style - or become overwhelmed with their daily "to do" list and never have the time to implement those resolutions?

Do you know your true Behavioral Style and the most effective way to manage your time?

If you are mostly decisive, commanding, assertive, driven, and impatient you likely experience the following time management challenges;

  • Everything is an "A" priority
  • Doesn't like to delegate
  • Poor planner
  • Great fire fighter

If you are mostly outgoing, talkative, refined, gregarious and communicative you likely experience the following time management challenges;

  • Over promises and under delivers
  • Always says "yes"!
  • Gets caught up in the future, and doesn't take care of the present
  • Priorities are unclear

If you are mostly patient, calm, agreeable, constant, and resistant to change you likely experience the following time management challenges;

  • Uncomfortable with change
  • Very methodical
  • Procrastination
  • Does not "think outside of the box"

If you are mostly attentive, vigilant, watchful, conventional and insightful you likely experience the following time management;

  • Overly analytical
  • Compulsively neat
  • Shuns conflict
  • Analysis paralysis

Time Management systems are great when they are implemented and maintained with minimal effort. At the same time they are a one size fits all system.

Do you ever wonder why you still struggle with time management?

"Simon has quite a skill and unique talent to quickly understand, assimilate, and advise owners/leaders/managers in almost all facets of business. The Leading Advisor Coaching Program is second to none and includes proven systems which can be implemented to create sustainable results. Through our work with Simon over the past 5 years, some of our most notable achievements have been building a team to become the most-trafficked (in our category) web site on the Internet and to increase our sales by over 60%."

I suggest that much can be attributed to a lack of an understanding of your Behavioral Style and how to apply it to your time management system.

Again, what is your behavioral style and how do you manage time?

  • You are mostly decisive, commanding, assertive, driven and impatient.

  • You are mostly outgoing, talkative, refined, gregarious, and communicative.

  • You are mostly patient, calm, agreeing, constant, and resistant to change.

  • You are mostly attentive, vigilant, watchful, conventional and insightful.

If you were to complete your personalized "Behavioral Time Management" Assessment you would find that you have a combination of 2 or even 3 of these behavioral styles.

Your "Behavioral Time Management" Assessment is an 18 page personalized report that gives you an understanding of how you manage time, approach people, solve problems, interact with people, and also includes;

  • Summary pages of the unique characteristics that relate to your unique behavioral style.

  • Summary pages of your time wasters, possible causes and possible solutions.

  • Checklists on the do's and don'ts for communicating with your unique behavioral style.

  • Strategy pages on interactive flexibility to improve your ability to understand and interact with the behavioral styles of others.

When you implement the checklists on the do's and don'ts for communicating and strategy pages on interactive flexibility you will eliminate all unnecessary miscommunication and stress that arises with your associates and close friends and family.

Instead of having conflict and judging others that may seem to be too pushy or with those that just don't move fast enough, you will be saying;

Oh! That is Why they do what they do! I now understand them as a result of understanding myself.

When there is no understanding, there is judgment. When there is judgment, there is no understanding. Judgment and no understanding is a venomous breeding ground to look for differences and fault.

One cannot control people, they can only understand.

The "Behavioral Time Management" Assessment gives you the tools to build healthier relationships.

Did you ever stop think of the cost of time and energy that is due to stress due to miscommunication?

The benefits of your "Behavioral Time Management" Assessment will be less stress, more peace of mind and time management will truly become more enjoyable because you will have a deeper understanding of your true self through the understanding of your behavioral style and you will get along with those around you.

Have you ever stopped to consider the true cost of poorly managed time?

  • You are not living up to your standards and you know full well that you can do better

  • You have so much going on that you can't see a vision for the future

  • The feeling of overwhelm and a loss of control is getting to you

  • You can't seem to focus because things are in disarray

  • You don't know what you want and therefore you don't feel like you are making any progress

  • Important things are not getting done and you feel a lack of achievement

  • You are stressed out by adrenaline

  • Your life is running you and you are not running your life

  • You are frustrated with yourself and others because nothing is getting done due to poor delegation

  • The stress is starting to have an affect on your health

  • Relationships are affected because you are not clear on what you want and you are not fulfilled

The challenges that relate to Poor Time Management are endless.

Here is a sample of what you will receive;

1.  Crisis Management

Crisis Management is defined as a management style that is consistently driven by uncontrolled external issues as the preferred method of managing. This style allows crises to precipitate rather than anticipating them and being pro-active.

Possible Causes:

  • Lack planning

  • Place unrealistic time requirements on people and tasks

  • Always looking for problems to solve 

Possible Solutions:

  • Have a well defined operational plan

  • Target key individuals to handle specific problems

  • Ask for recommendations from key people

  • Delegate authority and responsibility when possible
     

2.  Lack of a Written Plan

A plan in this context may be an overall business plan including mission, goals, objectives, task requirements and utilization of resources. It may also simply mean written priorities and a written daily plan of action.

Possible Causes:

  • Action oriented, want to get things done now

  • Priorities keep changing (self-or other-imposed)

  • Have been successful without a plan in the past

  • Want to "go with the flow" and not be stifled by a written daily agenda

Possible Solutions:

  • Write down personal and job-related values and prioritize them

  • Write out a long-term plan that will support those values

  • Recognize that by having priorities clearly in mind, constant change will be replaced with change-by-design

How does that sound?

For added value, we are offering a group "Behavioral Time Management" Teleclass, and during the teleclass...

  • I will anonymously review a number of the 18 page "Behavioral Time Management" assessment graphs that are included in each assessment to give you added value and explain what your strengths are and your areas to strengthen and the possible specific challenges that you may be facing and what to do about it.

    • I have completed hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of assessments for my clients over the best part of ten years and I have been told on many occasions that I have the gift of identifying the blind spots that my clients do not see, that when discovered become the key to their success.

  • I will answer your questions about your "Behavioral Time Management" Assessment

  • You will gain a deeper understanding of the concept of "Behavioral Time Management" by listening to my interaction with callers and with the answers to their questions

That means you will enjoy both the information and you will gain the impetus and hidden keys that you can integrate into your planning and time management system to "make you" set and achieve your goals for the year ahead and manage your time in a more aware and effective way.

The benefit of which is that 2005 will be the best year that you have ever had - setting the scene for more and more successful years to come.

To get the most out of the program, you will need to have 5 foundations in place for this to work;

  1. A controlled level of self-esteem - if you understand that it's ok to have good and bad days and still be proud of yourself - then welcome!

  2. An open mind - if you think that it can only done "the orthodox way" and you are not prepared to try something different - don't join;

  3. A sense of humor - I crack the odd joke - mostly about myself - if you cannot see the funny side of disaster or yourself - you may dislike me;

  4. Internet enabled - this program will be delivered using on-line technology and access to email and the web will be important for you to receive maximum benefit

  5. A secure financial foundation - don't spend your last dime on this program, even though we are giving it away just for the heck of it;

You will discover why you have been experiencing the following and what to do about it;

  • Everything is an "A" priority

  • Doesn't like to delegate

  • Poor planner

  • Great fire fighter

  • Procrastinator

  • Uncomfortable with change

  • Very methodical

  • Does not "think outside of the box"

  • Over promises and under delivers

  • Gets caught up in the future, and doesn't take care of the present

  • Always says "yes"

  • Priorities are unclear

  • Overly analytical

  • Compulsively neat

  • Shuns conflict

  • Analysis paralysis
