Book "The Slight Advantage".

In the age of technology in which we now find ourselves, we have all the information available about how to improve our quality of life in different areas: health, knowledge, economy, business, etc. But if having all the information was the solution at this time there would be no people with money problems, or health problems, or problems in personal relationships, or any other type; however at first glance we can realize that this is not the case.

In this book the author Jeff Olson proposes that the best way to improve substantially in any aspect of our life is to start being aware of each and every one of the decisions we make in our daily lives.

Let's imagine the following situation:

There are two people, the first one decides to dedicate 30 minutes a day to go for a walk every day, while the second one does not. The first day surely there will not be any significant difference in the health of both people, but imagine that this first person dedicated 30 minutes a day religiously for a year in a row; now the difference in physical condition between the two people will be abysmal.

The author tells us that decisions that lead to success are easy to make, but it is also easy not to make them. The effect of a good decision made consciously can have a very significant impact; let's put it in perspective, for example, if we read 10 pages a day of a book for a year in a row it will be equivalent to having read 3600 pages, which would represent having read a dozen books. As we can see, these are easy decisions to make, but it is also very easy not to do so. What if instead of watching TV for hours you decide to invest that time in reading a book, how much new information will you have learned in that time?

It's never too late to start changing things. It's about starting to take responsibility for the results you get and not blaming anyone else for your results, which are only the product of your bad or good decisions.

Time has to work in your favor and not against you, every time you decide to invest time in improving a skill is time that plays in your favor. If we set a goal, for example, to learn at least 5 words in another language every day for a year, after that time I will have learned approximately 1800 words, increasing my vocabulary and thus facilitating my communication in that language. We have to trust in this learning process.

Unfortunately the society in which we find ourselves is 100% oriented to short term results, magic products, immediate gratification, earning a lot of money from one day to the next; when in reality the road to success has no shortcuts, nor is it an accident, it is the simple result of a series of decisions made consistently. The key is to start acting, simple decisions matter much more than you can imagine, the way to change a potential failure into a success depends on small decisions, everything is in your hands. Of course you have to have time also for leisure and fun, but you have to set the limit to those activities.

I have been in the place you are now. When I started my dream of starting my own Medical Clinic and was the CEO, I didn't know how to fulfill my responsibilities at work and be present at home with my family at the same time. However, after making changes in my productivity, goal setting and leadership, I was able to take my company forward through an economic recession the country was in and achieve positive results; all while being home in time to have dinner with my family every night.

I now teach the same principles that helped my leadership, along with my team, here at CIME Academy.
