Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: I went from zero to over six figures in under six months with these exact five strategies I'm gonna share with you in this video.
- 0:06SPEAKER_00: These strategies will help you stop procrastinating, double your productivity, without the need for willpower or luck.
- 0:12SPEAKER_00: The first pillar is SMART goals.
- 0:14SPEAKER_00: I remember I used to set goals that would demotivate me.
- 0:16SPEAKER_00: Goals like hitting a billion dollars when I'm at zero.
- 0:19SPEAKER_00: These goals, while they might be motivating in the long term, they demotivate you when you're at zero because they seem so unattainable.
- 0:26SPEAKER_00: Instead, what you want to do is you want to set SMART goals.
- 0:29SPEAKER_00: SMART stands for specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound.
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: This might look like I want to hit$10,000 in recurring revenue by the end of 2024.
- 0:38SPEAKER_00: The second pillar is KISS, otherwise known as keep it simple, stupid.
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: This principle is crucial for boosting your productivity.
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: Oftentimes we can we trick ourselves into thinking that accomplishing our goals are so much harder than it truly is.
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: And when we simplify what we need to do, it becomes infinitely easier.
- 0:56SPEAKER_00: And it gets to a point where we can almost turn our brain into autopilot.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: I remember before I started my business, I wanted to make the perfect setup.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: I spent months trying to figure out what CRM I want to use, what tools I want to use, what software, what people I want on my team.
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: And this is before I had a business.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: Instead, you just want to start with simple tasks that'll get you where you need to go.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: Tasks like outreach.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: When you're starting a business, most of the time your most important task for your day is letting people know about your business.
- 1:27SPEAKER_00: For me, this means creating content.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: This means DM outreach.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: It means engaging with others' posts.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: It means engaging with like-minded individuals on my podcast.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: Narrow it down and keep it simple.
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: Stupid.
- 1:40SPEAKER_00: The third pillar is having a routine and planning your day.
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: Each and every week I write my tasks for the week in my calendar and I categorize them into five categories health, business, family, spiritual, and finance.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: Then I put it into my Google Calendar and I know exactly what I'm gonna do when I wake up each and every day.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: This helps me put my brain into autopilot and just do the work.
- 1:59SPEAKER_00: The fourth pillar is focused work.
- 2:01SPEAKER_00: One of the biggest pillars of productivity is multitasking.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: Sometimes this is working on multiple tasks at a single time.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: Other times this is having your phone at your desk with you.
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: Remember when I used to have my phone when I'm working, it would kill my productivity, but now I genuinely get my work done at least twice as fast without any distractions.
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: And the fifth pillar is learn from those who have done.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: We love to believe we are a special snowflake and what's worked for millions of others will not work for us, but that is not the reality.
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: So instead, I encourage you to learn from those who have done.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: When I started my real estate investing business, I invested 25 grand into a coaching program that helped me set up my systems, my marketing, my sales, and so on.
- 2:40SPEAKER_00: If you're looking to learn how to overcome procrastination, I've personally dealt with anxiety and I've also dealt with paralysis analysis.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: I've been there and I've overcome it.
