Decrease your television time
People who have more information have a tremendous advantage over people who don't. And though you may think it takes years to acquire the knowledge you would need to become successful, the truth is that simple behaviors such as reading for an hour a day, turning television time into learning time, and attending classes make it surprisingly easy to increase your knowledge - and substantially increase your level of success.
Here's a powerful facts about watching TV
Do you think that you could eliminate watching 1 hour of TV a day? Not watching just 1 hour of television a day could create an extra 365 hours per year to accomplish whatever is most important to you. That's over nine additional 40 hour workweeks. 2 months of additional time! This realisation was huge for me!

Commit to lifelong learning
Realise that the amount of knowledge and information available in the world is growing at a mind-numbing pace. In fact, it has been said that all human knowledge has doubled in the last 10 years. Don't expect this trend to slow down.
More alarming, the information that allows you to be successful - to be on the cutting edge of your career and profession - is evolving at the same pace. That's why you must commit to lifelong self-improvement and learning - improving your mind, increasing your skills, and boosting your ability to assimilate and apply what you learn.
