ALTO CREO (Testimonial Series)

Let me give you a little background about myself.

I teach DAY MANAGEMENT over TIME MANAGEMENT.

I’ve come across Brian Tracy’s book, ‘Eat That Frog!” and let me tell you what I think.

So our opinions differ a little regarding this certain aspect. This book makes you prioritize things you must do each day, eating the ugliest frog FIRST. This is twofold. It eliminates procrastination and trepidation. I told my clients to do the thing they fear most first. Why spend the day dreading that awful phone call? Anxiety builds and so does the discomfort. We are saying the same different was. Where we differ is what I teach and that is basically sales and self-promotion. You can find any frog uglier than your marketing responsibilities.

My clients create their marketing plan, with daily action items they commit to do. No matter the number of frogs out there. The energy over the visual of Eating A Frog is so emotional that it actually lingers. That what makes it such a fascinating medium. I use the same language to my clients and I often hail an accomplishment accredited to. “Just sat down and ate that frog”. Eat That Frog will alter your perspective and attitude on * Procrastination * Time management * Focus * Productivity and * Wealth Initially, I did not believe it, because although most populace told me I work more than anyone they know. I can dig my boots in as stubbornly as another. But as I felt that wave coming on, I just ate the frog.

I’m Now Eating Frogs for Dinner

“There is one quality that one must possess to win and that is a definite purpose, the knowledge of what one wants and the burning desire to achieve it”

I learned of this book ‘Eat That Frog’ – Brian Tracey International Best-seller from a friend who has the 1st edition of it. As I glanced through his copy and noticed this post-it notes on the side. He said you have to grab your copy of this book; it will put your life in order. So I bought a copy of the 2nd edition and read the book through. I then marked that task that I felt will help me find the missing hours in a day -- so things will get accomplished, instead of being brushed under the rug.

Sometimes it just seems amazing that at the end of the day, week or a month – you conquered your own time by focusing only on your ‘frogs’. Just by eating the biggest and ugliest frogs first will surely make all the difference. It seems that nothing or not a whole lot seemed to be accomplished. I work in Direct Sales so it also helps. It helped me manage and organize my time by:
  • Finding time to take care of the household stuff
  • Spending quality time with my family as well as, taking care of their needs
  • And being able to spend time with clients to cater to them better
With the “Yes I can” attitude, nothing’s impossible. This book will definitely get you away from procrastinating and work with your goals. It’s a win-win predicament.
