Most people agree, when success happens it follows thought and action.

Often when success isn't happening, people say they don't have enough time: they don't have enough time to do that because they are doing this; they don't have enough time because they are already doing many other things at the same time...they are performers of multi-tasks and masters of none.

When people say they do not have time they talk about their lack of 'time to do things'. People complain about their inability to find time to do...because they are too busy doing. People complain about their inability to find time to think...because they are too busy doing.

Rarely, if ever, do you hear someone complain about being too busy thinking.

Most people have heard about the 80/20 Rule [also known as the Pareto Principle], yet few people put that wisdom to use.

Many people know about Covey 'time management quadrants' [illustrating the relationships between work importance and work urgency], yet few people put that wisdom to good use.

Some people, apparently, have not read Napoleon Hill’s classic, ‘Think and Grow Rich’.
