Where Are You Investing Your Time?
If you’re serious about building wealth, growing your business, and making real progress this year, here’s your homework:
• Read “The Cashflow Quadrant”, “The E-Myth”, “Rework”, and “Built to Sell”—four books that will shift the way you think about money, business, and systems.
• Watch Myron Golden’s “4 Levels of Value” on YouTube and understand the framework that separates struggling entrepreneurs from those who create real wealth.
These resources won’t just inform you—they’ll transform the way you approach work, money, and success.
Time Will Pass—With or Without You
Think about it.
If you start today, in 10 months, you’ll be that much closer to your goal. If you don’t, 10 months will still pass, but you’ll be standing in the same place, wondering why nothing changed.
The time will be the time. Whether you invest it or waste it, the clock keeps ticking.
So, where are you putting your time?
• Are you taking action that moves you toward your vision?
• Or are you busy with distractions that keep you stuck?
Start With the End in Mind
If you begin this year with December in mind, you have a little over 10 months to make real progress.
Ask yourself: What actionable steps can you take today, this evening, or tomorrow morning to get one step closer to your December goal?
Let’s break this down using The Where Factor framework:
1. Where Are You Now?
• Are you in the same cycle of working hard but not seeing results?
• Do you feel overwhelmed, unsure of where to focus?
• Are you spending time on things that move the needle—or just staying busy?
2. Why Does This Matter?
• Because time is the only thing you can’t get back.
• Because waiting until “later” keeps you stuck where you are.
• Because if you don’t take control of your time, someone else will.
3. What Can You Do Right Now?
• Audit your time. Write down where your time goes every day for the next three days.
• Set your December goal. Where do you want to be in 10 months?
• Take action today. Identify one thing you can do right now to move the needle—then do it.
The Time & Success Connection
Your use of time directly impacts every level of Maslow’s Hierarchy:
1. Safety & Security: Investing your time wisely ensures financial and career stability.
2. Esteem Needs: Productivity and progress build confidence and self-respect.
3. Self-Actualization: The highest level of fulfillment comes when you’re using your time to create, build, and contribute at the highest level.
Make the Next 10 Months Count
Here’s your challenge:
1. Write down one thing you can do today that moves you toward your December goal.
2. Schedule time this week to read or watch one of the resources mentioned.
3. Audit your time. Identify and eliminate distractions that don’t serve your vision.
Because the time will be the time.

Key Takeaway
“Your ‘Where’ today is a reflection of your time investments. If you must spend time somewhere, put it where it counts. Don’t let December arrive and wish you had started sooner—start today.”
