Top 4 Tips to Arriving First In Life When You Aren’t the Fastest

There will always be someone faster than you in life. At least that’s what self-made millionaire Matthias Schmelz would say. Although it’s daunting to be last, Schmelz says there are ways to arrive first in life even when you aren’t the fastest.

Never stop moving.

When you have found something you enjoy doing, keep doing it. Once you have found a project that works, keep at it. Stopping one project only to take on another will hold you back. It takes patience and follow-through to reach end goals.

Although you may feel frustrated with your project, Schmelz argues we have to stay dedicated to what we are doing in order to find success. Much like the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise moved slower but never gave up. He never took breaks to do something else. He stayed with it. And he won.

Make use of free time.

Believe it or not, you can arrive first even using free time. In spite of the advice in #1, the key is to use your free time well. Define what you want free time to mean for you. Does it include recharging your batteries, spending time with family, or taking care of your health by going to the gym? It can also include reading up on industry research while waiting for your flight or plotting your next business move while you wait for your appointment.

Knowing how you want to use your free time strikes that balance between getting your to-do list done and having time to rejuvenate for your next big move. Using free time effectively makes that possible.

Have the end in mind before you start.

In order to be successful, you’ve got to have the end in mind before you even begin. Without it how will you know where you’re going? How will you know when you’ve arrived? Successful people start making plans even when they don’t have all the answers.

Develop strategies for what you want to achieve. And turn those ideas into reality. Practice setting goals at the start of each project. Determine what you expect to get from it and identify the steps you’ll need to take to make that happen.

Balance your 80/20.

It’s no secret that 80% of business comes from 20% of clients. The reverse is also true. Arriving first in life means we fall into the former category, not the latter.

Where do you fall in these scenarios? Find what makes you most of your business and keep doing it. This means you must evaluate your projects and objectively look at what is making you money and what isn’t. Change up your strategies to make them more efficient and effective. If they aren’t profitable, don’t waste your time with them!
