It is your time now to be creative!

We are always saying “I wish I had more time to…..”. What have you put off learning, trying, launching, writing, or creating because you just never have the time you need to do it?  

How often have you said, I wish it were Friday already, the weekends go by too fast, ugh is it Monday already?  We wish our lives away minute by wasted minute when we are always looking to the future for a change. Well the future is here in the now.

There is an online program that I have been saying for 3 years I am going to take, but each time I looked at it I thought, I just do not have a moment right now to get this done, as it will take discipline and time. It is a 93 day program and at the end of the 93 days it disappears and I have to pay to take it again. So I keep putting it off but then it popped up in my email again, I reviewed it, pulled out my calendar and did the calculations. I have marked the days and times for the online study and made the financial and time commitments to take the program and make changes in my life. 

Now you have a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something you keep saying you want to do! You can learn something you have been saying you want to learn. You can create something you have been saying you want to create. The most precious resource we have in our lives is time and you suddenly have plenty of it to do all those things you complain you do not have a moment for.  If you want to improve your life, improve your business, now is the chance to invest in those activities.  

Stop watching all the news, less time on social media and let Netflix have a rest. All of these things are operating as a distraction and burning up precious minutes that you can use to create a new business, a new hobby, or some self development.  Do not let this instance slip away from you and find that you have lost this amazing opportunity to change your future. Be sure to visit my article on https://blogbni.com/the-winding-path-that-is-life-finding-true-north/ that describes how I found the belief in myself to change my own opportunities!

Here is a list of things that are being provided to you if you are a BNI member, as well as things that you can find on the internet. 

1. Go to BNI University and take the Leadership Course, the member courses or the business courses. They are there for you for you as part of your membership, no money required just your time. 
2. Attend the Advance Member Training being offered in many of the franchises like BNI Indiana and BNI British Columbia. Trainers are running live zoom classes so that while you are online with your chapter you will improve your skills and when you are back in person your ability to achieve success with your chapter is heightened. It only requires an investment of your time. 
3. Spend some money and time on a course that you know you want to take because it will improve your business. Try a social media course, a sales course, a marketing course, or a leadership course.  
4. Become certified in a program, such as DISC, or any of the other courses that will help you work better with clients and team members. 
5. Learn more valuable skills around how to use new types of software that will make you far more adaptable and relevant.
6. Learn a new hobby, YouTube has a million of them, I want to learn to be better at crochet or knitting and wow does YouTube offer so much content to learn from!
7. Get busy on that new idea you have for a business or to expand your business. What are you waiting for, maybe it is time to go out on your own or launch a new product. 
8. Universities all over the US are offering a plethora of free programs, all they take is time. 
9. There are thousands of apps out here to help you start a new health and wellness program for your wellbeing. 
10. Maybe it is time to do some inner work, spiritual work, or self development courses. 

The opportunity for you to come out of this far better than you went into it is at your finger tips. You see, business will not be the same when we come out of this and you will not be the same either. Do not squander your opportunity to make it work for you. If not now then when?
