Ready to take control of your year and grow your business with precision? Discover the mindset shift that can separate busywork from real results.
In this episode, Londina and Donna break down the Success Habit of Accurate Thinking and show you how to use it in your business—and your life.
When the year picks up speed, it’s easy to get lost in nonstop tasks. But are you working on what truly moves you forward?
Accurate thinking means knowing how to filter fact from information, separating what matters from what distracts. In a world full of opinions, news feeds, and endless to-dos, this is the habit that keeps you—and your business—on track.
What You Need to Know
Accurate thinking starts with a clear distinction: facts versus mere information. As Donna shares, facts don’t change—opinions and noise do. Once you have the facts, they need to be sorted by their relevance to your goals.
Londina explains the classic method of separating items into quadrants of important, unimportant, urgent, and not urgent—a tool inspired by Stephen Covey. This lets you cut through the clutter and focus your actions where they matter most.
What You Need to Do
Separate fact from information: Before you act or decide, pause and ask, “Is this a verifiable fact or just information or opinion?”
Sort by importance and urgency: Use the quadrants:
- Urgent and important: Do it now.
- Important but not urgent: Schedule and plan it.
- Urgent but not important: Delegate these tasks.
- Not urgent and not important: Eliminate them entirely.
Connect everything to your main business goal: Check if each fact or task helps you achieve your “definite chief aim.” If it doesn’t move you closer, question why it’s on your list at all.
Your Next Step
As you go through your daily and weekly tasks, put them through this filter. See what you can delegate, schedule, or cut—then focus your energy on what delivers results.

She is an internationally recognized Business Coach and Trainer bringing 20+ years’ experience in military leadership. Donna has been a serial entrepreneur for the last 25 years owning a range of businesses experiencing the unique challenges solopreneurs face with small business growth.

Her specialty is helping organizations navigate through change, challenge and tragedy. The combination of her intensive study of the mind, plus practical applications in human potential, Donna provides a unique perspective on leadership, personal growth, sales, communication, and team building.
A high point of Donna's training career happened when she accompanied Dr. John C. Maxwell and his team on a country transformation mission. At the request of the Costa Rican government, the Maxwell team successfully trained 15,000 Round Table facilitators in three days, resulting in a 2% transformation of that nation and projected to reach another 60,000 Costa Ricans the following week. Her trademark energetic communication style and teaching skills have earned her a reputation as a highly effective speaker and respected facilitator.
Londina Cruz is an International Trainer, Executive Coach, and Keynote Speaker with the John Maxwell Team and a Strategic Coach with Anthony Robbins. Londina is a part of Global Transformation with the John Maxwell Foundation, training thousands of leaders in Paraguay and Costa Rica to help transform the values and culture of these nations.
She has spent more than 25 years studying, coaching and consulting in personal mastery and human performance techniques. These techniques include emotional and social intelligence trainings that elevate individuals, leaders and their organizations to excel well beyond current standards – offering a dynamic competitive advantage.
Londina has taken a situation that would devastate most individuals, being hit by a drunk driver, and has turned it into her life force. In this accident, Londina sustained a traumatic head injury, broken back and broken neck. The doctors gave her little hope of a normal life. She has now turned this challenge into an extraordinary life of empowering others to turn their fears into freedom and reach their potential.
Mastering her limiting beliefs and overcoming all that doctors had told her, Londina has thrived physically as well.
She has become a Triathlete (competing in a Half-Ironman and medaling in numerous other triathlons), a two-time marathon runner (Nike Women’s in San Francisco and the Marine Corps in Washington), and a cyclist.
She has released 100 lbs. by taking control of her thoughts instead of allowing thoughts to control her.
She knows what it takes to take you and your team from where you are to where you want to be.
