Understanding the Law of Time Perspective
Definition:
The most successful people are those who take the longest time period into consideration when making day-to-day decisions.
It's not about taking too long to decide but about weighing decisions with a long-term view.
Example:
When booking a client, consider whether the time and effort invested will lead to long-term benefits.
Time is your biggest asset when building something, so ensure decisions are aligned with your overall goals.
Delayed Gratification
Key Principle:
Delayed gratification is the key to financial success.
Immediate gratification stops progress; when you seek quick rewards, the drive to continue working diminishes.
Scientific Explanation:
Dopamine is released when we experience pleasure, such as eating chocolate or getting likes on social media. This can lead to a sense of accomplishment without real results.
Once gratification is achieved, the energy to continue working decreases.
Opportunity Cost
Every Opportunity Has a Cost:
Every decision you make costs something, whether it’s time, effort, or another missed opportunity.
Example: Starting a new business, taking a course, or paying for coaching not only costs money but also requires time and effort to achieve results.
The Cost of Not Acting:
Not pursuing opportunities can lead to missed growth or experiences, so it's crucial to evaluate the cost of both action and inaction.
Practical Applications
Delayed Gratification in Action:
People often stop working on projects because they get initial praise or validation (e.g., likes or comments on social media), which satisfies their need for accomplishment before they’ve completed the work.
The importance of pushing through and finishing the work, even after receiving praise or dopamine boosts, is key to long-term success.
Execution Over Recognition:
Success is about execution and consistency, not instant validation. People may get likes or compliments, but true progress comes from sustained effort.
Example: Many people announce their plans (e.g., writing a book) and receive praise but never complete the work because they stop once they get the initial gratification.
Self-Discipline and Long-Term Success
Sacrificing Short-Term Pleasures:
Success requires sacrificing short-term pleasures for long-term security and growth.
Building the discipline to delay gratification is the most important personal quality for achieving long-term success.
Avoiding Instant Validation:
When you receive validation too early, it disrupts the drive to continue working. It’s important to focus on the long-term rewards rather than short-term praise.
Leaders often avoid discussing their progress until they have completed their work to prevent gratification from stopping the momentum.
Conclusion on Time Perspective
Long-Term Thinking:
Always consider the long-term implications of your decisions, weighing how each action fits into your broader goals.
Delayed gratification, discipline, and understanding opportunity costs are essential for achieving financial and personal success over time.
