Why Time?

Why Time?

My name is Ron Orr, Jr. and I spend my entire life learning, so that I can later teach you what I have learned to save you time.  Through extensive networking with people over my entire life, I have learned that 99% of the time people likely won't listen, believe, take action or follow through on what's best for them daily, even if I tell them what's right for FREE.  This is why it's a proven fact that over 99% of everyone by the age of retirement will be lacking in a few aspects in their very own life, whether they are broke, unhealthy, unhappy, unfulfilled, or a combination of each.  Does this surprise you? Of course it doesn't because everyone is the total sum of every one of the over 80,000,000 marketing messages they are influenced by in their entireLifetime, their 100,000 thoughts per day that they have, (nearly 80 million thoughts in an entireLifetime) everyone's 86,400 seconds in a day, 1440 minutes per day, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, and 30,000+ days in their entire Lifetime as well as factoring 5 small meals per day multiplied by 80 years equals 146,000 total meals throughout your lifetime that you put into your body.  Do you think the shear magnitude of those numbers make a difference?  As discussed you are being persuaded by nearly 80 million marketing messages per lifetime,  it's from those messages that you decide what thoughts to have, followed by what decisions to make, followed by what actions to take, which all contribute to how you will end up someday, your total sum, the 99% or the 1%.  After many years of trial and error I have found a way to live my life in a way where I can teach others what's most important in life, while making a successful living at the same time, all while assuming that 99% of people will not follow what I am saying, believe it, or take action.  For the record, I am always seeking the 1% that will follow, and as for the other 99% there are no hard feelings from me, as I have already factored these percentages into my goals in life, and it doesn't sway me off my focused path forward in life.  In other words, I am looking only directly straight forward to spend my Lifetime on what's right, avoiding what's wrong, with the hope that others will follow me throughout my life and that we will become friends in the process.  It's worth my time even if the expected success rate is only 1%, and the other 99% reading this article right now never hear from me, choose not to follow me, or choose to hear from me again.

Does it make sense to look to the left or right of yourself at other people, to look at your friends, family, co-workers or associates as role models or mentors to yourself, if it's a proven fact they will end up on average as the 99%. Why would you model yourself daily and copy others taking the wrong path, and the wrong direction.  I believe people think that by "not doing"something proactive they are only at worst-case scenario in a stationary stuck position, only delaying future positive goals to a later time.  Make no mistake, you aren't stuck, you are always moving, unfortunately that movement is backwards.  Think of yourself standing on an escalator going the wrong direction every second of every day.  You are going backwards daily whether you like it or not.  Your age, good health, relationships, sharp mind, deep spirituality runs away from you every second of every day.  Without proactively moving forward every second you will never catch any of these areas of your life.  If we are exposed to millions of marketing messages every year, how in the world can you know which choice to make, which direction to follow, you can't, that's where I want to help you.  You see, I make money, even if 99% of the people tell me no, or never respond, so I don't need to give you a biased point of view, or sell you hard, I can give it to you straight and honest.  I have certainty in my daily forward direction, so even if you find that you do not, it won't bother me, as I know from experience, when the student is ready the teacher will appear.

I strongly believe that people spend their entire life’s Free Time in order to make money, so that someday they can buy, with their money, their Free Time right back, this concept doesn't make sense to me. When asked why I am trying to teach everyone the concept of time and how it affects someone's everyday life, let me explain it to you this way:

I believe that in order to be on a path towards a truly balanced life one must try to optimize the following 5 areas of one's life: Mind, Health, Financial, Relationships, and Spiritual. There are clearly thousands of subcategories that fall below each of these five that will be covered in my writings. Let's say for example over your entire Lifetime that 1/3 of your time is already allocated to Sleeping, 1/3 of your time is forWorking and the other 1/3 of your time can be sculpted.  That 1/3 accounted for work time can be sculpted eventually to the point where work takes up very little of your time daily. What I am saying is to take thatFree Time that you now would have through automation and Systems, and to do whatever you would like with that time. I believe that at some point in one's life, many ask themselves what even makes sense anymore, what still works, people are always seeking certainty.  There is a point in which you wish to only spend your time on what you know you are 100% certain about daily because you would have no questions whether it's getting you to where you are going and whether it's well worth your time.

What is this time concept of mine? At this moment I think of it as a Time Evolution, starting off with the first step as Time Awareness. As you progress over the months and years you’ll get better with time, you will get into Time Choices, Time Decisions, Time Actions, Time Control, Time Management, Time Leverage, Time Systems, Time Passive, Time Replicated, and eventually to Time Legacy. I believe 100% that in order to have success in all 5 areas of your life, as stated above, you must have total control of your time and how it's utilized daily.  With my writings, you’ll learn the concept of Time Currency because, just like currency, time can be Saved, Wasted, Invested, Leveraged, Spent, Work for You, and Stolen.Time is at the core, to all of these 5 concepts that balance your life. Money is what most people think about and spend much of their life trying to accumulate, but please understand that Money is a Byproduct of Time. I have numerous friends that own businesses in all different fields, and I believe you can be successful at almost any one of them, if you have the right Systems and apply time to work for you, not against you, that is the one common denominator.

Let’s now confirm that money doesn't guarantee you the other 5 balances in your life: Money will not buy you an instant education; money will not buy you a healthy mindset; money will not buy you great health; money will not give you a career that you are passionate about; money will not buy you true friends, and money will not buy you a spiritual deeper meaning of life. These 5 balances can only be enriched and achieved through consistently investing quality time towards your life's balance.  My goal with my website www.RonOrr.com, and writings is to teach you how to sculpt and mold your time in order to create more time.   For example, if you read one of my writings for 5 minutes, and it teaches you how to save two hours on an activity that you do only one time per month, that's 24 hours of savings per year, so it actually pays in many ways to read all of my writings, because your return on investment in time that you will get back is well worth it to you.

At this point, my writings on the Ron Orr Blog are FREE, so you have nothing to lose, not even your time. In the process of writing I will mention to you concepts and ideas I work with in my Marketing from day to day. With the constantly evolving world that we today find ourselves in, I believe life is a game of seconds. The world is becoming Globally Time Competitive and I believe you need to be able to maximize your time down to the second just to stay ahead of the rest of the world. Sometimes it's more about not doing theBad Habits and only doing the Good Habits day after day that will save you time throughout your entireLifetime. Most people are in the day to day Rat Race, Spinning Their Wheels because they are doing the wrong things daily, monthly, annually, or they simply don't know their are better alternatives and Time Saving Short Cuts. Most of the short cuts I'll teach you will be taught through Technology, Marketing, and through OPE (Other People’s Education).

Why am I qualified to teach you this concept of time? I think about Time Awareness 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. I have been self-employed since 2002, had a second job since about 2000, and for those that don’t know, being Self-Employed makes you very aware of your time hourly, especially commission jobs. I have been around Marketing, ads, graphic design, etc since 1984 when I was 7 years old. I have spent most of my life Marketing, and in sales. I have spent time since about 2002 reading, listening, and attending seminars of many of the top trainers to maximize my education through Time Leverage (OPE) please seeMy Library.

I have been consistently doing Internet Marketing since about 1995, and during that time have learned many great Time Leverage strategies in all of the years of Marketing.   At the age of 24, I found myself retired for a couple of years, and learned how to make $10,000-$20,000 in some months working zero minutes per day, through automation and online Systems. I, like others, got to feel the thrill of buying my first property at 21, owning a lake home at 24, had 3 cars, a big jet ski, new boat, lived on a lake, self-employed, all while temporarily retired at the age of 24 and 25. What I took from all of that is, that material things are great, but they aren't everything.  Also, I have been a Real Estate Agent since 2003, am currently a Real Estate Broker (MinnesotaInvestors.com, Inc.) and in order to survive in the real estate business it was very important for me, that I be extremely efficient with Outsourcing and leveraging of my time, through Marketing.

As the years go on, I hope to better teach people how to use Time Awareness through other areas of life such as Spirituality, Relationships, and Health. As I learn from day to day, I hope to teach others what I have learned. I am trying to teach life's great lesson's which are already taught now through many of today’s great educators. I will do this by putting a Time Analogy, Time Metaphor, Time Phrase, or Time Quote with every writing that I do. In other words, I am trying to quantify life through the measurement of time. Many people teach you how to budget or count dollars and measure those dollars.  Money can only be used to measure a few aspects of life. My goal is, instead of only money awareness as the concept, to break it down to an even smaller measurement, time. There are 86,400 seconds in a day, and 60,000 thoughts per day right now, and I believe with the advancement of Technology, soon 100,000 thoughts per day will be achieved by a human mind. My goal is to make you be aware of time down to your very thoughts. It's these small increments of time consistently Compounded Over Time that makes us the sum total of who we are to be in the future.  An important concept I have heard from Tony Robbins and from The Secret DVD is that you need to understand that what you are right now today, is only the sum total, or reflection of what you have done in the past, your past doesn't equal the future.  You can choose to move forward from whatever spot you are at in your life right now, there aren't things you 'have to' do first before you can move forward. Those things you have to do first, are steps necessary to moving forward anyways in the overall goal.  For example, you can't make the excuse that only when you have good credit someday you will invest and buy a house.  You need to go find out how to pay down your debt, and learn how to do credit repair. Your good credit score doesn't just appear better one day, you have to add steps in between and make it happen.  This leads me to my next point, do you want to know if you are the 99% or the 1%?  There are two kinds of people, those that think Life Happens to Me and those that decide, I Create My Future, I make life happen. One of my favorite quotes is, "The Best Way to Predict the Future is to Create It!"  Let me explain this principle in another way: If you are consistently making good Choices, takingAction, and developing Good Habits daily, you are creating your positive future.  If you are waiting for the results of a fortune cookie, horoscope, power ball ticket, 10 o'clock News, economic or job report, newspaper headline, or phone call, or worst of all, you live only for Instant Gratification, then you are waiting for life to happen to you, and you will soon find yourself disappointed. Remember that no one is looking out for your success as much as you are.

There are no excuses for you not to read this Ron Orr Blog daily. You can't make the excuse that you don't have enough money because my writings are currently FREE to read. You can't say you don't have time because in actuality I create time for you, so every day in theory you'll have more time to read this Ron Orr Blog. You simply have to just do it!  My goal is to teach you only about things that will help your overall goal towards achieving a positive more balanced life. If something isn't going to provide value to your life, I’ll clearly spell that out, and quantify how badly it could affect your life and time. I believe that most people understand that if they grow older and don't save, eventually you’ll retire with no money, you’ve procrastinated, pushed the problem forward, delayed the inevitable. Most people understand this concept when it comes to money, I am here to teach you it's not just money that people do this with, it's also time, but please understand time is much bigger and more important.

Let me be the first to tell you that a lot of money isn't going to buy everything.  Why not just do the Good Habits now, because after all, there is no going back, it takes a lot of time to get back to where you want to be later on, remember the escalator example from above?  You'll eventually find out you have run out of time.  I am not going to target my writings to only real estate, or only money. You will get a flavor of everything that already goes on in a person’s everyday life, plus additional concepts and principles that you may have not already known. I will teach you how to put a time metaphor, or how to quantify everything with your time.  We all some day want to be able to have all the Free Time to do whatever we would like. If you say that you already love  the work that you do daily now, that’s great.  Then,  if that's the case, I will challenge you to make a lot of money with the Time Leverage concept, and give back some of that money to Charities. Use that newly found extra time that you now have created, to keep doing what you have a passion for while helping others achieve their goals. If I teach you how to save 3 hours, 1 hour, or as little as 30 minutes per day of your time, then you would now find yourself having extra time that you didn't have before.  You could show others my writings as a gift, so that they too can learn these valuable time skills.

With the growing number of Choices that we find ourselves presented with every single day of our lives right now, it’s so important that we all focus on which Choices enrich our lives, and which Choices only take up time, or waste time in our lives. Here is an example of how I am using time efficiently with this blog:  Once I write my time article, I post it on my Ron Orr Blog, and after I post it, it’s automatically sent via an update on my RSS feed, automatically updated and sent by email to my RSS Email subscribers, and also automatically sent to Twitter, through a Twitter plugin with the blog, Twitter automatically updates myFacebook feed, and my FriendFeed updates my facebook feed as well as others. My FriendFeed has updates automatically compiled of all of my other feeds, so with one simple click of the mouse when I post, I am notifying all subscribers that are following me. Through my writings, I will eventually provide thousands of Marketing ideas to others in hopes that they can share these messages with others.  The more you tell others to subscribe to my feeds, the more people I will have following me as, making for a Compounded Over Time effect.  Having a bigger audience to reach daily, it would inspire me to write even more new postings for everyone's benefit, so please help spread the word!  Please go directly to www.RonOrr.com to immediately subscribe and follow me in every way possible so that we can stay in touch!

Let me leave you with a story that I have heard both on the audiobooks, the 4 Hour Work Week and the80:20 Principle:

An American businessman took a vacation to a small coastal Mexican village on doctor’s orders. Unable to sleep after an urgent phone call from the office the first morning, he walked out to the pier to clear his head.  A small boat with just one fisherman had docked. Inside the boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish.

“How long did it take you to catch them?” the American asked.
“Only a little while”, the Mexican replied in surprisingly good English.
“Why don’t you stay out longer and catch more fish?” the American then asked.
“I have enough to support my family and give a few to my friends,” the Mexican said as he unloaded them into a basket.
“but…what do you do with the rest of your time?”
The Mexican looked up and smiled, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, Julia, and stroll into the village each evening, where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life, senor.”
The American laughed and stood tall. “Sir, I’m a Harvard M.B.A and can help you. You should spend more time fishing, and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. In no time you could buy several boats with the increased haul. Eventually, you will have a fleet of fishing boats.”
He continued, “instead of selling your catch to a middleman, you would sell directly to the customers, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village, or course, and move to Mexico City then Los Angeles, and eventually New York City, where you could run your expanding enterprise with proper management.”
The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, senor, how long will this take?”
To which the American replied, “15-20 years. 25 years tops. ”But what then, senor?”
The American laughed and said, “that’s the best part, when the time is right, you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions.”
“Millions, senor? Then what?”
“Then you would retire and move to a small coastal fishing village, where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with you wife and stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play guitar with your amigos…”
