In my experience, many people change their results over time. Our human brains are programmed to resist change. In fact, studies show that when faced with change, the subconscious will "talk' yourself out of the improvement or change.

Ever wonder why so many new year's resolutions go unfiinished?

Wealth Rule #4 states Get Rich At Night.

What this essentially means is that very often folks want to change and are sick of their jobs or careers. They begin looking for some new opportunities and they slowly work their business part-time, because many cannot afford to leave their jobs to pursue their businesses full-time.

They use the Business Growth Strategies here on www.richnavypilot.com and start to earn some decent income.   Herein lies the problem. How does someone have the time to work their full - time jobs and work their business on the side?

Its a great question and there is always a solution.

I can tell you from experience, working a part-time business around a full-time job is doable and one of the secrets to my success has been time management.

Let's face it. We all have an equal number of hours in a day. No more. No less. Its not how many hours a day we have, but what we do with those hours.
 

Here is a summary of Pam Dodd's , founder of Clarity Consulting, Top 5 Time Management Tips.

1. Learn and Grow.
I've personally enrolled into The Franklin Covey workshops and I strongly recommend these classes. They Guarantee your results will improve. They will improve your focus, and give you the necessary tools to achieve peak performance for a nominal fee.

2. Eliminate Time Wasters.

The biggest time wasters are:

A. Television: the average Amerian in 2003 spent 1,745 hours watching television, which works out to 145 hours a month. That's more than six complete days in front of the TV each month. Curtail the television to your favorite shows or shows that you think will improve your business.

B. Minimize Distractions. Just Say No when distractions come knocking. When you are in the middle of a project and the phone rings, don't answer it. Schedule a time to reply to your emails, schdule meetings spiritually, physically and socially.

3. Use a Personal Planning System
All time management experts recommend using a personal planning system. It serves as your main productivity tool.  Some people swear by electronic planners.

Others prefer paper. planners – commercial organizers, small notebooks, steno or legal pads, or index cards. It doesn’t matter what you use as long as you use it consistently and it helps you be more organized and productive.  If you have a system that’s already working well, great!

If you don’t have a system, you need to get one.

4. Set Goals
When you align your values, vision, goals, and actions, you accomplish more important things more often.  Writing down your goals is key. Only 3% of adult Americans have specific, written goals. The rest of us wing it.

There’s nothing difficult about identifying your goals. The reason most people don’t actually commit them to paper and tell others about them
is that then they’d be accountable for achieving them. If you’re vague They can be easy or hard, simple or complex, short-term or long-term. Some examples:

Run a 10K
Walk 30 minutes a day 5 days a week
 Pay off my debts
 Explore my family tree
 Become a good partner (business, personal)
 Spend more time (with my family, friends, by myself)
 Take three trips a year
 Weigh 140 pounds
 Buy a personal computer
 Buy a company computer system
 Write a book
 Start a business
 Increase my client base by 20%
 Plan

5. Prioritize.
Your priorities are the important things you do to reach your goals.  If your goal is good health and you make it a priority, you might not like getting up at 5 am to go to the gym before work or cutting out dessert each night.

Without clear priorities, it’s hard to reach your goals. Poorly aimed actions rarely hit the bull’s eye.  Below are popular ways to prioritize. If you know your values and vision, have set SMART goals, and crafted a realistic action plan, prioritizing should be easy for you.

In summary, there may be long hours at first. There may be a steep learning curve, but if you are serious about starting your own business, or investing in real estate, you can do it part-time and get rich at night.
