Now that we got our Life Google Map, prepared our LifeMobile, started our LifeEngine, and took charge as own LifeMechanic, the last part is to schedule our LifeTuneUp. Success takes a sense of direction, preparation, action, and modification. Success also takes time. Just like the road trip, it takes a certain amount of time to get to the destination. It would be a lot quicker if we took an airplane rather than a car to get to California. The same applies in life. There is always a better and faster way to reach our goals. Our job is to find the best method.

We do this by schedule an appointment with ourselves to brainstorm ways to improve our performance. The only requirement is that it has to be done on a regular schedule and cannot be skipped. We must complete our LifeTuneUp the same way we do tune-ups for our cars. It can be once a month where we spend this time writing down the things we need to do in the coming month to get us closer to what we want. This list could include the books we need to read, the people we need to see, or the money we need to make. This time is also to evaluate what worked and what didn’t work in the past month and what change we need to make to get better results.

Remember, failure is just a form of feedback and those who succeeded did so because they just tried more. Most of us probably know that Thomas A. Edison was the one who invented the light bulb. But not many people knew that it took him almost two years of failed attempts until he found the right material for the filament to work. After each failed attempt, he would evaluate why and find a different material to test. He did this over 6,000 times! When asked about the more than 10,000 experiments it took to develop a storage battery, he said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Compared to Thomas Edison, the world we live in today is a lot easier. I’m sure Edison would give anything to have a tool like the internet. It’s what we do with the tools and time we have that make the difference. When we do our LifeTuneUp appointments, we sharpen our tools. And with the right tool, knowledge, and action, success is not a matter of if… but when.
