Hello everyone, this is Helen Huang @ Organizing, based in Beijing, China.In order to better learn and practice the YiXiaoNeng Time Management System, after finished publishing 100 Chinese articles, I decided to continue writing and publishing a daily English article in another 100 days based on the "YeWuBin Time Management 100 Episodes" audio program. Today is the 140th day.

Today's topic is: Success Will Come Like a Snowball

In today's lesson, I will share a story about the Ximalaya app and me.Through the story, I want you to get a glimpse of my positive attitude towards working. You will see that the kind of attitude towards working is a great advantage in any field.

Whether it is teaching in more than 30 cities in China, or running a marathon, the goals you set and work towards will help you develop a variety of good habits in your daily life, such as writing in a morning diary and using your phone to track and organize your tasks. 

Over the past three years, developments in key areas of time management have helped my company, Yixiaoneng, increase its revenues tenfold. But that's not all.  While achieving these results, I have also gained more time to spend time with my family and work more efficiently, which ultimately allows me to serve more and more customers in China and around the world.

I hope what I tell you today will serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for you.

On the morning of May 11, 2016, I first logged on Ximalaya as an anchor, and recorded three consecutive audio programs.On that day, only 3,000 people listened to the program. But on that day I made a goal.  I wanted three million people to listen to my recordings by the time I completed my 100th lesson.

As I stood at the starting line and looking out, the goal of three million listeners appeared so very far away. But I felt confident.  Why? Because I had been preparing myself for this goal for years. I think we must have dreams and goals and then we must attach time limits to those goals so that we achieve them. Therefore, I created the three million listener goal by my 100th lesson.

At the time, this goal seemed impossible.But today, as the program broadcasts its 40th lesson, we already have one million listeners. Therefore it seems very likely that we will reach three million listeners by the 100th lesson. And what pleasantly surprises people is that our program is so popular that it is recommended on the main landing page of Ximalaya app during the first nine days of the launch.

But on May 11, when I registered as an anchor, I did not know any of the Ximalaya staff.Because I am willing to try and start this challenge and have the right the attitude, I feel God is helping me. I also often share a sentence with students in my classes. The sentence is: As long as you want something, God will open a way for you!

I would not have been able to achieve my success with Ximalaya without thanking one of my Yixiaoneng students in particular. She is a girl from Chongqing and has studied Yixiaoneng. As a result, she became much more self-disciplined. She eventually married and moved to the United States.

Before leaving, she told me she wanted to take the Yixiaoneng course to the United States! I was so very moved, and felt fate was intervening.After going to the United States, this student still remembered our agreement. One day she suddenly contacted me: Teacher Ye, I recommend you listen to a program on Ximalayas, called “Life in the United States”.

I then went to meet with the speaker of that Ximalaya series.That person told me that Ximalaya brought him a lot of surprises. His program was also very popular. I noticed his program had great success and demand, and thought it was quite amazing! 

At that time our program had only just begun, with only several thousand listeners. But I still think: As long as we continue to move forward, success will come like a snowball! So I set a goal for myself: to broadcast 100 lessons, to listen and respond to your needs, and to reach 3 million listeners.

As you know, each lesson airs at 6:00 am every morning and we invite you to listen and grow with us.  In the past 40 days, have you formed the habit of getting up early, exercising, taking a cold bath, writing in a diary and other habits?

Many of our listeners have left comments explaining their stories of progress and how they have tried to change their lives.The comment that made me happiest was, “because I listened to your recordings, my life has gotten better.”Comment like this is why I continue teaching time management.

But no matter how hard I try, the classroom of Yixiaoneng courses can serve a small number of people.Although my Mandarin is not as good as many teachers, I have become one of the top ten anchors of the 80,000 Ximalaya anchors. Every one can achieve success if they have enough time.  I want to help you achieve this success more quickly and effectively by improving your use of time.

So, standing at the starting line and looking out into the distance, you may be daunted by the enormous tasks in front of you.But if you have the heart to serve others, the confidence to create a long-term goal, and the willingness to work hard, success will come like a snowball!

Thank you being with me together today. Have a wonderful day!
