The RULE of 5

I was born in a town called Taupo, North Island of New Zealand - te Ika a Maui, Aotearoa. We boast the largest lake in the country from which flows the mighty Waikato River, north to Port Waikato on the other side of Hamilton.

Taupo is distinctive in that it is smack in the middle of the North Island and is flanked to the south by 3 distinctive mountains: Ruapehu, Ngauruahoe & Tongariro (there are lots of stories about these maunga, but at a later post) Taupo is also surrounded by forests; mainly to the north and east.

I worked in the bush when i was a teenager: pruning & releasing during my school holidays. Sometimes we whacked a few pines down with slashers; once i got to work with one of the bosses carrying all the equipment while he dropped some huge trees!!

But i never got to use a chainsaw, just a slasher - a square shaped head - as long as it was sharp & your aim was true you could eventually bring down a 5 year old pine - you just had to swing that slasher at the tree - one after the other until it fell!!

"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out"
- -Robert Collier

This is principle number 23 in Canfield's book: The Principles of Success - the RULE of FIVE

Here is how the RULE OF FIVR works:

• Figure out what you want to achieve
• then decide what 5 things you are going to do today, & the next day etc to move you towards your goal & eventually towards completion

SIMPLE!!
