4 Life Areas
with no
Shortcut
Wake-Up Foundation

No Shortcut
The 4 life areas with no
shortcut are career,
relationship, health, and
happiness.
The result and success
you get out of these 4
life areas depends on
your level of effort.
The more effort you put
in to learn and apply the
right knowledge and
skills to these, the more
success you will receive.
If you put in 50% of your
effort, you will get 50%
return.
However, if you put in
100% effort, then you
will get 100% return.
Do not expect to get a
100% return if you only
put in 50% effort.

No Shortcut
When you take shortcut,
you will soon find out
that you will have to start
over.

And then, you will spend
more time than if you
were to start out the
correct way at the
beginning.

These 4 life areas will
have the most impact on
you. Therefore, you want
to make sure they are
well taken care of.

Life Area #1:
Career
• You spend 80% of your life in your career to make
a living, and that is a lot of your time and energy.
• Develop a career that motivates and excites you
to wake up every morning to start working and
making a difference.
• Work toward a career that you are passionate
about.
• If you are not in a passionate career, then create a
plan on how you will get there.
• When you have a plan and take action to move
forward to get closer to your passionate career,
the better you will feel.

Life Area #1: Career

• A successful career never stops growing.

successful.

more you will grow as a human being.
• Whatever you think you need to learn to grow your career, put in the effort

kinds of relationships.

workers, roommate, spouse, and even with
yourself.

Make sure to learn new knowledge and skills to
improve your nutrition, water, exercise, sleep,
or other healthy habits to improve your health.
The healthier you become the easier it is for
you to do things successfully.

Life Area

steps, then you can increase the amount until you
hit your ideal habits for your lifestyle and health.

more minutes of exercise daily.
Improving your health is not about taking big
steps once a while, but through small daily steps.

area.
