Truly acknowledge that you are the CEO of your own life and a better life immediately becomes imminent.
Whether we are entrepreneurial spirited individuals, currently employed and even unemployed, we must operate with the proverbial “The Buck Stops Here” sign on our desks. Everybody wants things from and for their lives. Various forms of abundance, financial wealth, building a great house, starting a successful business or charitable foundation, creating a family are a few of many possibilities. Effective CEOs take the time to identify what they truly want.
Just as in business, determined CEOs in life have very detailed visions of what they desire to occur. They plan and document(in writing) their visions, access them frequently (numerous times daily) and possess an unwavering, 100% genuine belief that all things desired will be brought into being within a determined timeframe. It’s a very specific destination that’s created and good CEOs take any and all necessary actions along the way. Excellent CEOs make vision attainment appear to be almost effortless ventures. This is because the decision has been made that their life and causes are so important to them and their families that effort represents a very minor price to pay. For top CEOs, it’s a relaxed, enjoyable and fun trip with thoughts and eyes always on their targets. It’s a constant Be, Do, Have journey.
As your own CEO, it’s important to recognize that you possess four main resources which exist solely to help you achieve desired results in your life. These four resources are your employees. Their names are:
Your employees work only for you. They can only quit if you allow them to and can’t request a transfer to another company. Monitor their performances and ensure they’re good, solid employees who all show up for work every day. How they collectively perform on a daily basis will determine your overall results and when you can expect your great success to arrive. These employees are literally your workforce. They should not be taking any sick days and vacations are to be authorized only at your, the CEO, level.
Your employees each have specific, but very unique specialties which enable your path…….
Time
By definition, time is a nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. The past is gone, the present is here but the future is still for us to define. Time, of course, will be present for us but doesn’t benefit the future unless it’s utilized in a constructive way. Does your employee time work well for you or does it show up every day but never seem to yield progress to desired results?
Focus
Employee #2 is focus. Is your focus vivid or blurry? Worse yet, is your focus missing in action? Have you created, documented and shared the “master plan” (vision) with focus? Do you meet regularly with focus? Does focus truly understand that it’s a vital part of the team? Focus should be a 24/7 employee and never allowed to punch out or leave the premises.
Energy
Is energy always being expended and managed in a direction that coincides with the CEOs (your) desired end vision? Energy should know what it’s supposed to be doing at all times. Focus must work very closely with energy as they are reliant on each other. A sailboat without a rudder (focus) and wind (energy) is highly unlikely to ever reach a desired destination.
Money
Always keep a very close eye on your employee #4- money. Successful CEOs have a strong, positive relationship with and respect for money. Always be verifying and measuring how money is doing for you. Money won’t typically complain about being mistreated but positive management and utilization will illustrate itself in many various ways. Always be good to money and money will be good to you.
CEOs are busy and shouldn’t need to spend overt amounts of time micromanaging their four employees. For assistance regarding this, the best CEOs incorporate affirmations into their mornings, days and evenings. For the CEO that desires financial abundance, a simple affirmation example is to repeat the words “Wealth”, “Success”….. “Wealth”, “Success”….. “Wealth”, “Success”…….over and over again in a slow, deliberate manner for five minutes, three times or more per day, every day; also just prior to going to sleep and immediately after waking up each morning. You will immediately notice that your four employees begin showing up early, staying late and even be working when you’re out of the office. They will come to love their jobs and you will always be proud of them for what they help you accomplish.
**The “Wealth”, “Success” affirmation is from the publication, “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind.” – Dr. Joseph Murphy, PH.D, D.D. If you’ve ever really desired to know why we think, believe and act as we do, why we keep repeating behavior (habits), this book is for you. Available at www.LikeSoup.com

做自己生活的CEO
从真正意义上来说，你就是自己生活的CEO，一个全新的更好的生活马上就要到来了。
不论我们是否具有企业家的精神，最近得到了工作或者甚至已经被解雇，我们都要遵循这么一句标示在我们桌子上的格言“责任止于此”。每个人都想从自己的生活中获取些什么。比如各种形式的富足，金融财富，建一栋漂亮的房子，创立一项成功的事业或慈善机构，建立一个家庭，这些都是有可能的。一个聪明的CEO会花时间去认真考虑他们到底真正想要什么。
正如那些在事业上有决心的CEO一样，在生活中，他们同样对自己想要得到的东西有非常敏锐的嗅觉。他们会计划好自己的目标（并用文件记载下来），频繁地接触它们（每天重复很多次），并且坚决地贯彻下去，拥有100%真诚的信念便会使你所期望的事情在一个特定的时间成为现实。每一个具有创造力的优秀的CEO总是独自为某件事而采取一切有可能的措施，这对他们来说是一个非常特殊的目标。杰出的CEO可以不冒任何风险地做出一番成就，因为他们的生活和目标对他们来说太重要了。对于最高首席执行官来说，始终想着和盯着自己的目标是一种放松，享受和愉悦的旅程，是持续地想，做，享受其过程。
从你的日常生活中找出四个属于你的并且能够帮助你取得成功的资源。这四个资源便是你的雇员，他们是：
时间 关注点 精力 资金
你的雇员只为你工作， 只有通过你的允许他们才能辞职，并且他们不能要求跳槽去其他的公司。监视他们的工作表现以确保他们都很优秀，勤劳的员工每天都会按时工作。他们每天一起共事，这将直接决定你的总成果的成败以及你的伟大成功到来的时刻。这些员工都是你的劳动力，他们不能请病假，想要休假也得经过你审核，你就是他们的CEO。
你的员工都有各自的特点，但就是这些独一无二的特性让你有了多种出路......
时间
从定义上说，时间是个普通的连续体，事情显然都是连续地不可逆转地发生，从过去到现在，再到将来。过去的已经过去了，现在的还在这儿，但是将来的事情任然需要我们去诠释。当然，时间会呈现在我们面前但不会让未来获益，除非它被用于一个富有建设性的途径。你的雇员每天都工作很出色？还是虽然每天都出现，但是对你所期望的结果产生不了什么推进作用？
关注点
第二个雇员是关注点。你的关注点是生动形象的还是模糊不清的？更糟的是，你的关注点在行动中迷失了吗？你在创立和整理自己的“总体规划”（目标）时，是否联系了你的关注点？你是否会定期想想自己的关注点？你是否真的明白关注点是这整个团队里至关重要的一部分？关注点是24/7 个雇员，它决不被允许离开岗位或是离开团队。
精力
在与你期望的最终目标一致的情况下， 你是否总是朝一个方向消耗和运用你的精力？你应该知道如何正确消耗自己的精力。关注点和精力是相互依赖的，关注点必须和精力紧密联系在一起。如果一个帆船没有方向舵（关注点）和风（精力），那么它就不大可能到达理想的目的地。
资金
时刻关注你的第四位雇员----资金。 成功的CEO对资金有强烈的需求，也尊重资金，与资金有良好积极的关系，并且总是在验证测试资金到底为自己做了什么。 资金不会抱怨被你虐待，但是在积极的管理与有效的利用下，他们会用多种方式阐释自己的功能。善待资金，反过来资金也会善待你。
CEO们都很忙碌，他们也没必要花很多公开的时间对自己的四位雇员进行微观管理。为了正确看待，最优秀的CEO会将自己的主张与早晨，白天及晚上的时间合并起来。CEO都期望有富足的资金, 举一个简单的例子就是一直重复这些词语“财富”，“成功”....“财富”，“成功”....“财富”，“成功”....带着缓慢而深思熟虑的调子，一遍又一遍的重复，一直持续五分钟，一天三遍或者更多，每天都如此；也可以在睡觉之前或早晨晨练之后。 你会马上发现你的四名雇员会更加早出晚归的工作，甚至你不在办公室的时候，他们依然在奋斗。他们会逐渐爱上自己的工作，同时你也会为他们所做出的成就感到骄傲。
**“财富”，“成功”的定义来自社会，“潜在意识的力量”—— 约瑟夫·墨菲博士。 如果你曾经想过我们为什么思考事情，为什么相信事情，为什么做事情，为什么会重复自己的行为（习惯），那么这本书会对你有所帮助。这本书在这个网站上可以找到： http://www.likesoup.com/
