Steve Reports

I encourage you to decide right now to take action when any part of this article resounds with you. You see there is an amazing volume of content we have access to in multiple formats including: books, CD’s, videos, blogs, websites, email, seminars and even talking with each other to name a few. I have found that using a system for processing information in away that helps me retain what I want to have become part of who I am is the way for me to progress professionally and personally.

I have developed The Top Five System.  This is an adaption  of what I learned from Mark Joyner with his Simpleology System and The JT Foxx Organization where we use a daily Top 5 as part of how the business is operated and developed. I initially published an article that shows anyone how to get started with The Top Five System. The focus of this initial article was to encourage readers to use The Top 5 System for business development. I teach this process and incorporate this system in the coaching, mentoring and consulting division of  The JT Foxx Organization.

I have found this system to be so powerful that I recently expanded the view of how it can be used to strengthen our  Three Pillars for optimal success.  This view which you are about to read is based on over five years of intensive research and the application of these principles to a successful business that I launched on January 7, 2009.  That business is Manifest Mastermind.

With that launch I was already incorporating guidance on developing our Three Foundation Pillars.  Members have been receiving continual detailed guidance on how to excel in all three areas. The Top Five System is a refinement of that work and is a simple way to to expand your success in business and in life.

I recently  presented the first teleconference on The Top Five System for Our Three Foundation Pillars for the members of the JT Foxx Coaching, Mentoring and Consulting Group. Today I am introducing this idea to the public. Note there are only Three Pillars and The Top Five System is designed to focus our attention on not more than five (a handful) action steps. Everyone can manage those numbers. There are no more excuses. Let’s begin.

Our Three Foundation Pillars

1. Health

2. Relationships

3. Money

Everything in life falls within one of those Pillars.  They are purposely listed in order of priority. Yes money is last. Health is first since without our health, nothing else matters.

Using The Top Five System For Health…An Example

1. Health Description…This would be the business description in the money pillar.

I am a healthy, energetic person who maintains my ideal weight.  You can be more detailed in this description

2. Image Target…This would be the financial plan in the money pillar

I release 20 pounds that I no longer need.

3. Action Plan

I am adjusting my eating and exercise habits to achieve my desired image.

4. Time Line

I am releasing 1 pound per week by using 3,500 less calories per week or 700 per day.

5. Daily Top 5

These are the top 5 actions you plan to take to implement your plan of using 700 less calories per day.

This is an example and you should develop your own details based on you new health image which can include a lot more than weight.  The key with each pillar is to have a clear picture of what you want to achieve and measurable action steps. With measurable action steps you will be implementing the Gold Formula which I will write about in a separate article.

I have been testing a simplified tool for moving business forward fast and it is working very well. I use it and all of my clients are using this. It is easy to describe and free.

This tool is linked to the business evaluation and resulting business planning process that are the front end steps of every coaching and consulting client.  In summary we arrive at a  very clear definition of the client’s business and target market. Now if your reaction to that first step is that everyone in business knows the definition of their business and target market, then next time you have a chance ask them and ask them to explain it in less than 30 seconds.

That one exercise usually takes most people between 2 and 8 hours to master and some actually never get it as they really cannot decide what business they are in. There are clients where I have had to define their business, target market and business goals otherwise we would not have been able to move forward.  Regarding business goals, I am mostly interested in measurable goals starting with financial performance and liquidity optimization.  Once there is agreement on the financial targets then we can move to the next steps which are designed to define the key actions that are needed to achieve the financial goals.

The end game of all this is the tool that is the topic of this article. Using a Google Doc which can be shared, a Top 5 doc  is created. The top part is labeled “Todays Date Top 5″  This list the five most important things that need to be accomplished today in order to achieve the financial target. The profit goals you have set this year are met or not by what you act on today. Those five action steps should be ones directed on completing profitable transactions that will achieve your profit plan.

I have been using the Top 5 System for about 2 months now and having all my clients implement it as the results are so powerful. There are two reasons for these successes:  First the Top 5 System means you are focused on precisely what is most important.  Second I am now implementing an accountability process where each client is required to share their top five with a person they are working with who could be their business partner, spouse or another in the business. They are also required to share their daily Top Five with me while the coaching or consulting engagement is active.

The following video demonstrated the basics of getting started.  The video starts right in at the screed for setting up a Google Gmail account. The start page can be found at mail.google.com
