KarateParty.org - Industrialise Your Life!

The Industrial Revolution was a time of great energy and action in the West. From the foundries of Britain flowed a powerful energy that empowered the West to perform great feats of human activity. People improved their lives through the power of manufacturing, and we can apply these lessons to life in the Information Age.

Steam Hammer Your Problems to Dust

Problems inhibit everyday life: you cannot focus and transform your potentiated success into the actual when these weights hang around your neck. Your determination and drive is your steam hammer, your problems are the raw material of your success. Your hammer will crush your problems away. Do not just visualise this, put this into action.

Step 1: Gather a group of concerned but friendly workmates. Tell them that this exercise will not just help you, it will raise team productivity.

Step 2: Write your key problems down on a cardboard box. Use a thick red coloured marker, as red is a symbol of blood. Blood signifies rebirth. It is powerful and people will empathise with your action.

Step 3: Using your handy man hammer as a literal steam hammer, crush your problems as visualised by the box. Your crushing of the box will act as a visual contract with your workmates. People will remember your commitment to actioning your problems and will reinforce the aura of success you now exude.

Express Train Your Life in the Right Direction

Railways were the key determiner of success and wealth for a nation in the Industrial Revolution, those metal roads linked cities, factories and kept the engine of commerce flowing in the right direction, the pocket books of investors. You can apply this simple lesson to your life. Set a path that leads to a place you want to be, make that path solid. You need to set this path in concrete, for without solid foundations the iron tracks that are your direction will buckle and bend. Beware of those who would seek to undermine these foundations, the sub contractors that mix sugar with the cement are your friends and workmates that seek to make you fail in your endeavours. Cast them off. Remember, you want to be an express train that goes places, not one of those metro trains that dawdles in the lazy suburban sun.

Step 1: Think of where you need to be in two years. If that does not mean rich and successful then keep thinking.

Step 2: Break the plan down into its component parts, remembering it takes many cogs to make a powerful machine. Your plan should have three parts: the objective, the tangible resources you have, and the intangible skills you possess.

Step 3: Visualise this plan onto paper. Write the objective at the top of a piece of paper, as a station. Then write down your intangible and tangible skills in two separate columns running towards your objective, the station. They are the rails of your success, you are the train.

Assembly Line Efficiency and Productivity Into Your Life!

Henry Ford developed the assembly line, which ushered in an age of large, complex mass produced goods for low prices. We can learn from this example, success is about efficiency and productivity. If you are working smarter, harder, faster, then your future success is that much more likely.

Integrating Assembly Line power into your working and home life is easy, even a child can do it, and should!

Step 1: Take one task from your Success Plan. Think about it. What action does it take to complete?

Step 2: Imagine you are four different people, on an assembly line. Assign each of your ‘workers’ one quarter of the actions that your success task entails.

Step 3: Let each ‘worker’ specialise in that action. It is their only focus. When the task needs to be done, rely on their expertise. Your mind is the shop foreman. Self Manage Yourself.

Don’t Be Discouraged!

Industrialisation means material progress, no questions asked. You will see massive gains in productivity, you will be more focused, you will be in control. But Beware!

This does not come without a price, there are no actions without consequences. You must be prepared to accept some negative externalities in order to progress your way to material success. Remember, London spent decades under the thick ‘pea soup’ smog, but look at it now! Its 2005 and they have just won the Olympics, the streets teem with rich, successful people, even the Queen lives there!

You may end up hurting those close to you in your path to progress, that is regrettable, but you should ask yourself "Do my friends and family want me to be unsuccessful and poor?" Of course not, if they do, they are not your friends, they should be discarded.
