All built Multi-Million Dollar Online Businesses because they have one thing in common:
They know how to leverage their time, attention, and energy to make a filthy amount of money.
The real question is...
How do they do it?
They do it by following a 4-Step System.
Sam Ovens used this exact system to scale his business from scratch to $65M by the age of 26.
The 4 Steps are:
1. Take Control Over Your Time, Attention & Energy (Inputs)
2. Focus Your Energy on the Process (Channeling)
3. Create Output (Results)
4. Review Output and Results and Make adjustments (Feedback)
Repeat.
If you learn and apply these 4 steps, you'll build self-reinforcing positive feedback loops that will accelerate your business growth.
This is exactly how you get exponential results.. if you apply this knowledge you unlock the "cheat codes".
Here's How ↓
____
1) Take Control of Your Time, Energy, & Attention
Most people know what they want and who they want to become.
But their missing piece is Discipline.
I like to define discipline as - relentless consistency every single day in getting what you want.
Instead of being consistent in getting what they want... most are distracted by instant gratification and more times than not.. addicted.
Wasting hours of their time, attention, and energy.
They wonder why they’re not successful .. it’s because they have no control over their core resources their time, attention, and energy.
It's seen as "magical unlimited resources" because they say Yes to every single distraction, notification, impulse, or request for attention.
🏆Success requires a consistent investment of time, attention & energy over a long period.
You must sacrifice short-term gratification to reclaim resources to invest in building your business.
a) Remove all bad triggers/habits that drain time, attention, & energy.
• Netflix
• Junk Food
• No Purpose Scrolling
• Social Media Notifications
• Excessive Fast Food/Junk Food
• Drugs
• Smoking
• Alcohol
• Partying
• Gossiping
These are stimulating and “feel good” but earn you 0 money/hour and drain the energy. If you don’t remove these habits/ triggers your brain will continue to crave short-term gratification making it 10x harder to be disciplined.
b) Do habits that will magnify your time, attention, & energy.
You are an organic machine that runs on inputs (food, exercise, sleep, mental clarity) and creates output (creativity, solving problems, value to the market).
The quality of your output is directly derived from your input:
• 7 Hours of Quality Sleep - Set a consistent bedtime every night and stick with it. Builds self-discipline and maintains consistent energy/daily structure.
• Phone on Airplane Mode and Away - prevents you impulse checking your phone.
• Daily Meditation - Set a 10 -20 minute timer. No Music. Focus on your breath ping away thoughts and bring back focus to breath. Improves your Focus and Attention Span.
• Animal Protein and Whole Foods Diet- Provides organic materials to create neurotransmitters and clean energy to focus longer periods.
• Work out first thing in the morning regardless of whether you want to. This wakens up your body and energizes you.
• Impulse Control - resist urges to open social media, check e-mail multiple times per day, and order junk food. Train your ability to say no.
• Plan the day the night before - instead of thinking what to do the next day you save time and get straight to work.
• No Scrolling first thing in the morning
• Fall in Love with Pain - Every day push beyond your limits, do 1 more rep in the gym, confront difficulties/trauma, feel the pain, process it, accept it, love it. When you get comfortable with pain you’re unstoppable.
• Declutter your environment - Keep your office, house, desktop, and everything in your life clean/organized. The state of your mind will reflect the state of your environment. Get rid of clutter.
c) Self Empowerment/Mindset
• Create a Vision/Mission on what you want to achieve and your ideal self.
• Set Annual Goals, Monthly Goals, and Use a Calendar as your action planner.
• Plan everything - Plan your months, weeks, days, and hours and stick to it. This gives you clarity and builds discipline.
• Stick to your plan every day despite emotion, drama, failure, or uncertainty. Trust the plan. Make following the plan the definition of success.
• Say No - You will upset people If you want more than a normal life you’ll need to take abnormal actions and make sacrifices.
• Gratitude - Always looking at what ifs - should haves or the future causes unnecessary fear, anxiety, and stress. Practice gratitude to balance yourself. Pray.
• Prayer - It’s powerful - gives you an abundant mindset and keeps you sane when things are in chaos.
Not Everyone does all of this perfectly but the ones that do win. It's when you have the energy to invest in business is when you can actually make things happen.

2) Focus Your Energy on the Process (Channeling)
You can double, or triple your energy by eating good, sleeping well, exercising, meditating.. but if you’re distracted and don’t channel that energy onto your business you’ll get 0 results.
Focus is a form of leverage.
Focus is one of your most powerful ways to achieve leverage and it’s quite simple to achieve:
Remove all stimuli and distractions that are not working on your #1 priority - business.
There’s a Power of Sticking to ONE Thing and Focusing.
There’s always that one thing you can focus on at the moment that’ll get you more results than anything else.
How do you find that one thing?
a) Eliminate Options and Bring things down to One Thing
Ask Yourself:
• What’s the ONE THING your business is known for?
• What’s the ONE PRODUCT or SERVICE that makes you the most money?
• What’s the ONE Lead Acquisition method that gets you the most leads?
• What’s the ONE customer avatar that consistently experiences the most value from your ONE Product or Service?
Answering these questions gives you clarity on what’s the highest-leverage things in your business that you should focus on.
You want to bring things ideally down to 1 main thing:
1 Product/1 Offer.
1 Marketing Channel
1 Funnel.
1 Offer.
1 Customer Avatar.
This is what’s going to allow you to have a positive feedback loop - take action, review metrics, and make adjustments fast, for fast progress. If you have multiple things to focus on it makes it harder to connect things together and build a positive feedback loop.
Symptoms of this are spreading thin and not getting results fast enough. You want fast results right?
b) Scan your Business and Find the #1 Priority that’ll lead to the most results and Lock On.
Your business is an interconnection of parts that create a system:
Starting from Marketing, Nurturing, Sales, Onboarding, and Operations to Retention.
Your job as an entrepreneur is to assess what part of your business should you focus on first that'll get you the most results.
At the start, it might be survival as you're just starting out. You'll probably focus mainly on Marketing and Sales to get cash flow on the floor.
As you scale, it might be systemizing the back end and working on Onboarding, Operations, and Retention.
🎯Find what's the main priority for you right now and then set a Big and Specific Key Metric for that part of your business.
A Big and Specific Metric is a challenging stretch goal with a timeline.
Its purpose is to push you to take action beyond your comfort zone to get results.
Examples can be:
- Double MRR this Quarter
- 5x Traffic to your Offer in 90 days
- Increase the Value of your service by $3,000 this month
Once you have your Big and specific Key Metric you want to bring down your options using this Question:
"What's the ONE Thing I can do to [Big & Specific Key Metric] such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"
- If you want to increase the value of your product:
What’s the ONE Thing I can do to increase the value of my product by $3,000 this quarter such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
- If you want more traffic to your offer to get more clients:
What's the ONE Thing I can do to 5x the traffic to my offer this month such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
This might take you a few hours to discover what the highest priority to you right now but will unlock crystal clear clarity on what to do to take your business to the next level.
c) Lock in on your One thing and Work intensely focused every day.
The key to making everything work is to block time on your calendar to work on your ONE Thing, every single day.
The most productive people block a minimum of 4 hours of distraction-free focus work every day to work on their ONE Thing.
If you can do more. DO MORE.
(If you’re balancing a 9 to 5 and life, then block off how however much you can)
i) During your distraction-free focus work session, you want to use the power of 1:
1 Project at a time.
1 Task at a Time
1 Screen.
1 Tab.
Do not multi-task, no multiple tabs, and say no to distractions.
It's much more efficient to lock in on one thing, complete it, and ship it.
Complete 1 task/project then move on to the next thing.
ii) Clean up your physical and digital workspace to minimize distractions.
1. Get rid of useless apps.
2. Consider installing distraction blocker apps like:
Unhook YouTube - Chrome Extension
Cold Turkey Blocker - App
Opal - Phone app
You must set boundaries between you and social media so you can stay on your mission.
Do not ever deviate from your plan unless it’s necessary for survival.
A business can't have unproductive people operating it and magically be insanely profitable. A great business is built one productive person at a time and it starts with you.
No matter what protect your time blocks with everything you can and do not deviate.
Your business literally relies on it.
3) Create Output (Results)
You must work intensely focused and take deliberate action to complete and ship things every day.
If you’re not getting results it's because you’re not putting in the reps.
The Results you get depend on a simple equation.
Output (Results) = Volume x Skill
How do you become good at what you do?
1. Putting in the Reps - Volume
2. Learning to get better as you put more reps
That means you just need to take more deliberate action and put in more reps.
Alex Hormozi has a great rule on this.
Rule of 100 for 100 Days straight.
• 100 Reach-Outs a Day for 100 Days
• 100 Minutes of Content Creation for 100 Days
• $100 on Ads for 100 Days
• 100 YouTube Videos
The purpose of this is to ensure you put in the volume to acquire the skill and the results you want.
You’re going to suck in the beginning because your skill isn’t that good. (Why would you expect yourself to be good if you just started..)
Not getting clients? You simply not focusing and taking deliberate action.
This is why setting a time block to take deliberate action every day is key.
___
4) Review Output and Results and Make adjustments (Feedback)
There are only 3 results of applying this system:
• Success = Consistent Progress Towards Your Goals
• Stagnation = Inconsistent Progress to Your Goals
• Failure = No Progress Towards Your Vision
The number 1 reason why people fail or stagnate is that they get distracted, start doing too many things at once, stop tracking their progress, and basically accept chaos.
They accept entropy and inefficiency and think that “someday” things will work out.
This is avoidable if you keep your eye on the ball and stay consistent.
a) The key to consistency is to keep tracking performance against your baseline (where you started) and towards your goal.
You must review your inputs (time, attention, and energy) and measure their effect on the output you’re getting.
A simple way to do this is to track:
1. Your Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, Habits
2. Number of hours you spend on deep work every day
3. Your Output
→ Then optimize for maximum output (results)
You want to review your input and output every week.
Pick one day of the week and schedule an hour so you can review your progress toward your ONE Big & Specific Goal.
In your weekly review, you want to ask questions:
• What's the ONE Thing in the last week that progressed my [Big & Specific Key Metric ] the most?
• What's the ONE Thing that I can eliminate this week that'll make it easier to focus on [Big & Specific Key Metric]?
• What's the ONE Thing that I can focus on that'll progress my [Big & Specific Key Metric] the most such that everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
b) Protect Your Time Block at All Costs
The world doesn't care about your goals or priorities and isn't responsible for them- you are.
The only way to make your goals become a reality is to protect your time blocks and make them non-negotiable.
They are like appointments to the doctor but instead with yourself.
If someone tries to double-book, you say "I'm sorry, I already have an appointment at that time" and offer other options.
Until your ONE Thing is DONE- Everything else is a distraction.
If something comes up schedule it after your time block or write it down on a task list and get back to working on what you're supposed to be doing.
c) Systems and tools you can use to keep you on the right path
- Oura Ring for Sleep Quality
- Clear Goals, Vision, Principles
- Calendar (War Map) - To plan your weeks, months, years, days, and hours. - I use Notion
- Habit & Performance Tracking Sheet - to track and keep your inputs consistent: food, exercise, hydration, sleep, meditation, habits.
- Standardized Metrics for business outputs: Revenue, profit, growth.
- Standardized Daily Routine to maintain consistent deep work.
- Performance Coach - get a coach to observe you and keep you focused.

• Plan everything - Plan your months, weeks, days, and hours and stick to it. This gives you clarity and builds discipline.
• Stick to your plan every day despite emotion, drama, failure, or uncertainty. Trust the plan. Make following the plan the definition of success.
• Say No - You will upset people If you want more than a normal life you’ll need to take abnormal actions and make sacrifices.
• Gratitude - Always looking at what ifs - should haves or the future causes unnecessary fear, anxiety, and stress. Practice gratitude to balance yourself. Pray.
• Prayer - It’s powerful - gives you an abundant mindset and keeps you sane when things are in chaos.
Not Everyone does all of this perfectly but the ones that do win. It's when you have the energy to invest in business is when you can actually make things happen.

2) Focus Your Energy on the Process (Channeling)
You can double, or triple your energy by eating good, sleeping well, exercising, meditating.. but if you’re distracted and don’t channel that energy onto your business you’ll get 0 results.
Focus is a form of leverage.
Focus is one of your most powerful ways to achieve leverage and it’s quite simple to achieve:
Remove all stimuli and distractions that are not working on your #1 priority - business.
There’s a Power of Sticking to ONE Thing and Focusing.
There’s always that one thing you can focus on at the moment that’ll get you more results than anything else.
How do you find that one thing?
a) Eliminate Options and Bring things down to One Thing
Ask Yourself:
• What’s the ONE THING your business is known for?
• What’s the ONE PRODUCT or SERVICE that makes you the most money?
• What’s the ONE Lead Acquisition method that gets you the most leads?
• What’s the ONE customer avatar that consistently experiences the most value from your ONE Product or Service?
Answering these questions gives you clarity on what’s the highest-leverage things in your business that you should focus on.
You want to bring things ideally down to 1 main thing:
1 Product/1 Offer.
1 Marketing Channel
1 Funnel.
1 Offer.
1 Customer Avatar.
This is what’s going to allow you to have a positive feedback loop - take action, review metrics, and make adjustments fast, for fast progress. If you have multiple things to focus on it makes it harder to connect things together and build a positive feedback loop.
Symptoms of this are spreading thin and not getting results fast enough. You want fast results right?
b) Scan your Business and Find the #1 Priority that’ll lead to the most results and Lock On.
Your business is an interconnection of parts that create a system:
Starting from Marketing, Nurturing, Sales, Onboarding, and Operations to Retention.
Your job as an entrepreneur is to assess what part of your business should you focus on first that'll get you the most results.
At the start, it might be survival as you're just starting out. You'll probably focus mainly on Marketing and Sales to get cash flow on the floor.
As you scale, it might be systemizing the back end and working on Onboarding, Operations, and Retention.
🎯Find what's the main priority for you right now and then set a Big and Specific Key Metric for that part of your business.
A Big and Specific Metric is a challenging stretch goal with a timeline.
Its purpose is to push you to take action beyond your comfort zone to get results.
Examples can be:
- Double MRR this Quarter
- 5x Traffic to your Offer in 90 days
- Increase the Value of your service by $3,000 this month
Once you have your Big and specific Key Metric you want to bring down your options using this Question:
"What's the ONE Thing I can do to [Big & Specific Key Metric] such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"
- If you want to increase the value of your product:
What’s the ONE Thing I can do to increase the value of my product by $3,000 this quarter such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
- If you want more traffic to your offer to get more clients:
What's the ONE Thing I can do to 5x the traffic to my offer this month such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
This might take you a few hours to discover what the highest priority to you right now but will unlock crystal clear clarity on what to do to take your business to the next level.
c) Lock in on your One thing and Work intensely focused every day.
The key to making everything work is to block time on your calendar to work on your ONE Thing, every single day.
The most productive people block a minimum of 4 hours of distraction-free focus work every day to work on their ONE Thing.
If you can do more. DO MORE.
(If you’re balancing a 9 to 5 and life, then block off how however much you can)
i) During your distraction-free focus work session, you want to use the power of 1:
1 Project at a time.
1 Task at a Time
1 Screen.
1 Tab.
Do not multi-task, no multiple tabs, and say no to distractions.
It's much more efficient to lock in on one thing, complete it, and ship it.
Complete 1 task/project then move on to the next thing.
ii) Clean up your physical and digital workspace to minimize distractions.
1. Get rid of useless apps.
2. Consider installing distraction blocker apps like:
Unhook YouTube - Chrome Extension
Cold Turkey Blocker - App
Opal - Phone app
You must set boundaries between you and social media so you can stay on your mission.
Do not ever deviate from your plan unless it’s necessary for survival.
A business can't have unproductive people operating it and magically be insanely profitable. A great business is built one productive person at a time and it starts with you.
No matter what protect your time blocks with everything you can and do not deviate.
Your business literally relies on it.
3) Create Output (Results)
You must work intensely focused and take deliberate action to complete and ship things every day.
If you’re not getting results it's because you’re not putting in the reps.
The Results you get depend on a simple equation.
Output (Results) = Volume x Skill
How do you become good at what you do?
1. Putting in the Reps - Volume
2. Learning to get better as you put more reps
That means you just need to take more deliberate action and put in more reps.
Alex Hormozi has a great rule on this.
Rule of 100 for 100 Days straight.
• 100 Reach-Outs a Day for 100 Days
• 100 Minutes of Content Creation for 100 Days
• $100 on Ads for 100 Days
• 100 YouTube Videos
The purpose of this is to ensure you put in the volume to acquire the skill and the results you want.
You’re going to suck in the beginning because your skill isn’t that good. (Why would you expect yourself to be good if you just started..)
Not getting clients? You simply not focusing and taking deliberate action.
This is why setting a time block to take deliberate action every day is key.
___
4) Review Output and Results and Make adjustments (Feedback)
There are only 3 results of applying this system:
• Success = Consistent Progress Towards Your Goals
• Stagnation = Inconsistent Progress to Your Goals
• Failure = No Progress Towards Your Vision
The number 1 reason why people fail or stagnate is that they get distracted, start doing too many things at once, stop tracking their progress, and basically accept chaos.
They accept entropy and inefficiency and think that “someday” things will work out.
This is avoidable if you keep your eye on the ball and stay consistent.
a) The key to consistency is to keep tracking performance against your baseline (where you started) and towards your goal.
You must review your inputs (time, attention, and energy) and measure their effect on the output you’re getting.
A simple way to do this is to track:
1. Your Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, Habits
2. Number of hours you spend on deep work every day
3. Your Output
→ Then optimize for maximum output (results)
You want to review your input and output every week.
Pick one day of the week and schedule an hour so you can review your progress toward your ONE Big & Specific Goal.
In your weekly review, you want to ask questions:
• What's the ONE Thing in the last week that progressed my [Big & Specific Key Metric ] the most?
• What's the ONE Thing that I can eliminate this week that'll make it easier to focus on [Big & Specific Key Metric]?
• What's the ONE Thing that I can focus on that'll progress my [Big & Specific Key Metric] the most such that everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
b) Protect Your Time Block at All Costs
The world doesn't care about your goals or priorities and isn't responsible for them- you are.
The only way to make your goals become a reality is to protect your time blocks and make them non-negotiable.
They are like appointments to the doctor but instead with yourself.
If someone tries to double-book, you say "I'm sorry, I already have an appointment at that time" and offer other options.
Until your ONE Thing is DONE- Everything else is a distraction.
If something comes up schedule it after your time block or write it down on a task list and get back to working on what you're supposed to be doing.
c) Systems and tools you can use to keep you on the right path
- Oura Ring for Sleep Quality
- Clear Goals, Vision, Principles
- Calendar (War Map) - To plan your weeks, months, years, days, and hours. - I use Notion
- Habit & Performance Tracking Sheet - to track and keep your inputs consistent: food, exercise, hydration, sleep, meditation, habits.
- Standardized Metrics for business outputs: Revenue, profit, growth.
- Standardized Daily Routine to maintain consistent deep work.
- Performance Coach - get a coach to observe you and keep you focused.

HOW TO PASS THE AWS CCP EXAM!
If you ask many who are already AWS certified, they'll say taking the AWS CCP is a waste of time and you should put your efforts into an AWS Associate level cert.
I personally don’t think this is general good advice, even for those coming from technical backgrounds and especially for beginnings.
The AWS CCP holds fundamental value by providing a solid foundation and exposure to cloud computing concepts and the MANY different services offered by AWS.
AWS CCP was the launchpad for me. It set the foundation for my AWS journey. Before attempting the associate-level certs, this cert gave me a solid base.
So here's my personal formula on how to pass it with flying colors!
Video course with hands-on labs:
Ultimate AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner by Stéphane Maarek
https://t.co/MvUItgg9Zx
Most perfect practice exam sets:

https://t.co/B6EwS3pBY4
Tough, but most effective practice exam sets:
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Mock Exams by Jon Bonso/Tutorials Dojo
https://t.co/AqgyFmOLKJ
Hands-On-Labs/Projects:
Create and configure an AWS Free Tier Account
Explore AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), create IAM users, groups and roles. Implement IAM policies to control access to AWS resources.
Explore AWS Cost Explorer and Billing Dashboard by setting up billing alerts/budgets to prevent unexpected charges.
Set Up a Virtual Machine (Linux/Windows) with a security group and key pair and connect via SSH/RDP.
Host a Static Website using S3.
Explore AWS Networking by creating a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and subnets.
Set up security groups and network ACLs to control traffic and launch an EC2 instances within your VPC.
Set up CloudWatch alarms to monitor EC2 instance performance and configure email notifications for specific events.
That's it!

Alex Becker…
All built Multi-Million Dollar Online Businesses because they have one thing in common:
They know how to leverage their time, attention, and energy to make a filthy amount of money.
The real question is...
How do they do it?
They do it by following a 4-Step System.
Sam Ovens used this exact system to scale his business from scratch to $65M by the age of 26.
The 4 Steps are:
1. Take Control Over Your Time, Attention & Energy (Inputs)
2. Focus Your Energy on the Process (Channeling)
3. Create Output (Results)
4. Review Output and Results and Make adjustments (Feedback)
Repeat.
If you learn and apply these 4 steps, you'll build self-reinforcing positive feedback loops that will accelerate your business growth.
This is exactly how you get exponential results.. if you apply this knowledge you unlock the "cheat codes".
Here's How ↓
____
1) Take Control of Your Time, Energy, & Attention
Most people know what they want and who they want to become.
But their missing piece is Discipline.
I like to define discipline as - relentless consistency every single day in getting what you want.
Instead of being consistent in getting what they want... most are distracted by instant gratification and more times than not.. addicted.
Wasting hours of their time, attention, and energy.
They wonder why they’re not successful .. it’s because they have no control over their core resources their time, attention, and energy.
It's seen as "magical unlimited resources" because they say Yes to every single distraction, notification, impulse, or request for attention.
🏆Success requires a consistent investment of time, attention & energy over a long period.
You must sacrifice short-term gratification to reclaim resources to invest in building your business.
a) Remove all bad triggers/habits that drain time, attention, & energy.
• Netflix
• Junk Food
• No Purpose Scrolling
• Social Media Notifications
• Excessive Fast Food/Junk Food
• Drugs
• Smoking
• Alcohol
• Partying
• Gossiping
These are stimulating and “feel good” but earn you 0 money/hour and drain the energy. If you don’t remove these habits/ triggers your brain will continue to crave short-term gratification making it 10x harder to be disciplined.
b) Do habits that will magnify your time, attention, & energy.
You are an organic machine that runs on inputs (food, exercise, sleep, mental clarity) and creates output (creativity, solving problems, value to the market).
The quality of your output is directly derived from your input:
• 7 Hours of Quality Sleep - Set a consistent bedtime every night and stick with it. Builds self-discipline and maintains consistent energy/daily structure.
• Phone on Airplane Mode and Away - prevents you impulse checking your phone.
• Daily Meditation - Set a 10 -20 minute timer. No Music. Focus on your breath ping away thoughts and bring back focus to breath. Improves your Focus and Attention Span.
• Animal Protein and Whole Foods Diet- Provides organic materials to create neurotransmitters and clean energy to focus longer periods.
• Work out first thing in the morning regardless of whether you want to. This wakens up your body and energizes you.
• Impulse Control - resist urges to open social media, check e-mail multiple times per day, and order junk food. Train your ability to say no.
• Plan the day the night before - instead of thinking what to do the next day you save time and get straight to work.
• No Scrolling first thing in the morning
• Fall in Love with Pain - Every day push beyond your limits, do 1 more rep in the gym, confront difficulties/trauma, feel the pain, process it, accept it, love it. When you get comfortable with pain you’re unstoppable.
• Declutter your environment - Keep your office, house, desktop, and everything in your life clean/organized. The state of your mind will reflect the state of your environment. Get rid of clutter.
c) Self Empowerment/Mindset
• Create a Vision/Mission on what you want to achieve and your ideal self.
• Set Annual Goals, Monthly Goals, and Use a Calendar as your action planner.
• Plan everything - Plan your months, weeks, days, and hours and stick to it. This gives you clarity and builds discipline.
• Stick to your plan every day despite emotion, drama, failure, or uncertainty. Trust the plan. Make following the plan the definition of success.
• Say No - You will upset people If you want more than a normal life you’ll need to take abnormal actions and make sacrifices.
• Gratitude - Always looking at what ifs - should haves or the future causes unnecessary fear, anxiety, and stress. Practice gratitude to balance yourself. Pray.
• Prayer - It’s powerful - gives you an abundant mindset and keeps you sane when things are in chaos.
Not Everyone does all of this perfectly but the ones that do win. It's when you have the energy to invest in business is when you can actually make things happen.

2) Focus Your Energy on the Process (Channeling)
You can double, or triple your energy by eating good, sleeping well, exercising, meditating.. but if you’re distracted and don’t channel that energy onto your business you’ll get 0 results.
Focus is a form of leverage.
Focus is one of your most powerful ways to achieve leverage and it’s quite simple to achieve:
Remove all stimuli and distractions that are not working on your #1 priority - business.
There’s a Power of Sticking to ONE Thing and Focusing.
There’s always that one thing you can focus on at the moment that’ll get you more results than anything else.
How do you find that one thing?
a) Eliminate Options and Bring things down to One Thing
Ask Yourself:
• What’s the ONE THING your business is known for?
• What’s the ONE PRODUCT or SERVICE that makes you the most money?
• What’s the ONE Lead Acquisition method that gets you the most leads?
• What’s the ONE customer avatar that consistently experiences the most value from your ONE Product or Service?
Answering these questions gives you clarity on what’s the highest-leverage things in your business that you should focus on.
You want to bring things ideally down to 1 main thing:
1 Product/1 Offer.
1 Marketing Channel
1 Funnel.
1 Offer.
1 Customer Avatar.
This is what’s going to allow you to have a positive feedback loop - take action, review metrics, and make adjustments fast, for fast progress. If you have multiple things to focus on it makes it harder to connect things together and build a positive feedback loop.
Symptoms of this are spreading thin and not getting results fast enough. You want fast results right?
b) Scan your Business and Find the #1 Priority that’ll lead to the most results and Lock On.
Your business is an interconnection of parts that create a system:
Starting from Marketing, Nurturing, Sales, Onboarding, and Operations to Retention.
Your job as an entrepreneur is to assess what part of your business should you focus on first that'll get you the most results.
At the start, it might be survival as you're just starting out. You'll probably focus mainly on Marketing and Sales to get cash flow on the floor.
As you scale, it might be systemizing the back end and working on Onboarding, Operations, and Retention.
🎯Find what's the main priority for you right now and then set a Big and Specific Key Metric for that part of your business.
A Big and Specific Metric is a challenging stretch goal with a timeline.
Its purpose is to push you to take action beyond your comfort zone to get results.
Examples can be:
- Double MRR this Quarter
- 5x Traffic to your Offer in 90 days
- Increase the Value of your service by $3,000 this month
Once you have your Big and specific Key Metric you want to bring down your options using this Question:
"What's the ONE Thing I can do to [Big & Specific Key Metric] such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"
- If you want to increase the value of your product:
What’s the ONE Thing I can do to increase the value of my product by $3,000 this quarter such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
- If you want more traffic to your offer to get more clients:
What's the ONE Thing I can do to 5x the traffic to my offer this month such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
This might take you a few hours to discover what the highest priority to you right now but will unlock crystal clear clarity on what to do to take your business to the next level.
c) Lock in on your One thing and Work intensely focused every day.
The key to making everything work is to block time on your calendar to work on your ONE Thing, every single day.
The most productive people block a minimum of 4 hours of distraction-free focus work every day to work on their ONE Thing.
If you can do more. DO MORE.
(If you’re balancing a 9 to 5 and life, then block off how however much you can)
i) During your distraction-free focus work session, you want to use the power of 1:
1 Project at a time.
1 Task at a Time
1 Screen.
1 Tab.
Do not multi-task, no multiple tabs, and say no to distractions.
It's much more efficient to lock in on one thing, complete it, and ship it.
Complete 1 task/project then move on to the next thing.
ii) Clean up your physical and digital workspace to minimize distractions.
1. Get rid of useless apps.
2. Consider installing distraction blocker apps like:
Unhook YouTube - Chrome Extension
Cold Turkey Blocker - App
Opal - Phone app
You must set boundaries between you and social media so you can stay on your mission.
Do not ever deviate from your plan unless it’s necessary for survival.
A business can't have unproductive people operating it and magically be insanely profitable. A great business is built one productive person at a time and it starts with you.
No matter what protect your time blocks with everything you can and do not deviate.
Your business literally relies on it.
3) Create Output (Results)
You must work intensely focused and take deliberate action to complete and ship things every day.
If you’re not getting results it's because you’re not putting in the reps.
The Results you get depend on a simple equation.
Output (Results) = Volume x Skill
How do you become good at what you do?
1. Putting in the Reps - Volume
2. Learning to get better as you put more reps
That means you just need to take more deliberate action and put in more reps.
Alex Hormozi has a great rule on this.
Rule of 100 for 100 Days straight.
• 100 Reach-Outs a Day for 100 Days
• 100 Minutes of Content Creation for 100 Days
• $100 on Ads for 100 Days
• 100 YouTube Videos
The purpose of this is to ensure you put in the volume to acquire the skill and the results you want.
You’re going to suck in the beginning because your skill isn’t that good. (Why would you expect yourself to be good if you just started..)
Not getting clients? You simply not focusing and taking deliberate action.
This is why setting a time block to take deliberate action every day is key.

• What's the ONE Thing that I can focus on that'll progress my [Big & Specific Key Metric] the most such that everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

- Calendar (War Map) - To plan your weeks, months, years, days, and hours. - I use Notion
- Habit & Performance Tracking Sheet - to track and keep your inputs consistent: food, exercise, hydration, sleep, meditation, habits.
- Standardized Metrics for business outputs: Revenue, profit, growth.
- Standardized Daily Routine to maintain consistent deep work.
- Performance Coach - get a coach to observe you and keep you focused.

• Declutter your environment - Keep your office, house, desktop, and everything in your life clean/organized. The state of your mind will reflect the state of your environment. Get rid of clutter.
c) Self Empowerment/Mindset
• Create a Vision/Mission on what you want to achieve and your ideal self.
• Set Annual Goals, Monthly Goals, and Use a Calendar as your action planner.
• Plan everything - Plan your months, weeks, days, and hours and stick to it. This gives you clarity and builds discipline.
• Stick to your plan every day despite emotion, drama, failure, or uncertainty. Trust the plan. Make following the plan the definition of success.
• Say No - You will upset people If you want more than a normal life you’ll need to take abnormal actions and make sacrifices.
• Gratitude - Always looking at what ifs - should haves or the future causes unnecessary fear, anxiety, and stress. Practice gratitude to balance yourself. Pray.
• Prayer - It’s powerful - gives you an abundant mindset and keeps you sane when things are in chaos.
Not Everyone does all of this perfectly but the ones that do win. It's when you have the energy to invest in business is when you can actually make things happen.

2) Focus Your Energy on the Process (Channeling)
You can double, or triple your energy by eating good, sleeping well, exercising, meditating.. but if you’re distracted and don’t channel that energy onto your business you’ll get 0 results.
Focus is a form of leverage.
Focus is one of your most powerful ways to achieve leverage and it’s quite simple to achieve:
Remove all stimuli and distractions that are not working on your #1 priority - business.
There’s a Power of Sticking to ONE Thing and Focusing.
There’s always that one thing you can focus on at the moment that’ll get you more results than anything else.
How do you find that one thing?
a) Eliminate Options and Bring things down to One Thing
Ask Yourself:
• What’s the ONE THING your business is known for?
• What’s the ONE PRODUCT or SERVICE that makes you the most money?
• What’s the ONE Lead Acquisition method that gets you the most leads?
• What’s the ONE customer avatar that consistently experiences the most value from your ONE Product or Service?
Answering these questions gives you clarity on what’s the highest-leverage things in your business that you should focus on.
You want to bring things ideally down to 1 main thing:
1 Product/1 Offer.
1 Marketing Channel
1 Funnel.
1 Offer.
1 Customer Avatar.
This is what’s going to allow you to have a positive feedback loop - take action, review metrics, and make adjustments fast, for fast progress. If you have multiple things to focus on it makes it harder to connect things together and build a positive feedback loop.
Symptoms of this are spreading thin and not getting results fast enough. You want fast results right?
b) Scan your Business and Find the #1 Priority that’ll lead to the most results and Lock On.
Your business is an interconnection of parts that create a system:
Starting from Marketing, Nurturing, Sales, Onboarding, and Operations to Retention.
Your job as an entrepreneur is to assess what part of your business should you focus on first that'll get you the most results.
At the start, it might be survival as you're just starting out. You'll probably focus mainly on Marketing and Sales to get cash flow on the floor.
As you scale, it might be systemizing the back end and working on Onboarding, Operations, and Retention.
🎯Find what's the main priority for you right now and then set a Big and Specific Key Metric for that part of your business.
A Big and Specific Metric is a challenging stretch goal with a timeline.
Its purpose is to push you to take action beyond your comfort zone to get results.
Examples can be:
- Double MRR this Quarter
- 5x Traffic to your Offer in 90 days
- Increase the Value of your service by $3,000 this month
Once you have your Big and specific Key Metric you want to bring down your options using this Question:
"What's the ONE Thing I can do to [Big & Specific Key Metric] such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"
- If you want to increase the value of your product:
What’s the ONE Thing I can do to increase the value of my product by $3,000 this quarter such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
- If you want more traffic to your offer to get more clients:
What's the ONE Thing I can do to 5x the traffic to my offer this month such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
This might take you a few hours to discover what the highest priority to you right now but will unlock crystal clear clarity on what to do to take your business to the next level.
c) Lock in on your One thing and Work intensely focused every day.
The key to making everything work is to block time on your calendar to work on your ONE Thing, every single day.
The most productive people block a minimum of 4 hours of distraction-free focus work every day to work on their ONE Thing.
If you can do more. DO MORE.
(If you’re balancing a 9 to 5 and life, then block off how however much you can)
i) During your distraction-free focus work session, you want to use the power of 1:
1 Project at a time.
1 Task at a Time
1 Screen.
1 Tab.
Do not multi-task, no multiple tabs, and say no to distractions.
It's much more efficient to lock in on one thing, complete it, and ship it.
Complete 1 task/project then move on to the next thing.
ii) Clean up your physical and digital workspace to minimize distractions.
1. Get rid of useless apps.
2. Consider installing distraction blocker apps like:
Unhook YouTube - Chrome Extension
Cold Turkey Blocker - App
Opal - Phone app
You must set boundaries between you and social media so you can stay on your mission.
Do not ever deviate from your plan unless it’s necessary for survival.
A business can't have unproductive people operating it and magically be insanely profitable. A great business is built one productive person at a time and it starts with you.
No matter what protect your time blocks with everything you can and do not deviate.
Your business literally relies on it.
3) Create Output (Results)
You must work intensely focused and take deliberate action to complete and ship things every day.
If you’re not getting results it's because you’re not putting in the reps.
The Results you get depend on a simple equation.
Output (Results) = Volume x Skill
How do you become good at what you do?
1. Putting in the Reps - Volume
2. Learning to get better as you put more reps
That means you just need to take more deliberate action and put in more reps.
Alex Hormozi has a great rule on this.
Rule of 100 for 100 Days straight.
• 100 Reach-Outs a Day for 100 Days
• 100 Minutes of Content Creation for 100 Days
• $100 on Ads for 100 Days
• 100 YouTube Videos
The purpose of this is to ensure you put in the volume to acquire the skill and the results you want.
You’re going to suck in the beginning because your skill isn’t that good. (Why would you expect yourself to be good if you just started..)
Not getting clients? You simply not focusing and taking deliberate action.
This is why setting a time block to take deliberate action every day is key.

4) Review Output and Results and Make adjustments (Feedback)
There are only 3 results of applying this system:
• Success = Consistent Progress Towards Your Goals
• Stagnation = Inconsistent Progress to Your Goals
• Failure = No Progress Towards Your Vision
The number 1 reason why people fail or stagnate is that they get distracted, start doing too many things at once, stop tracking their progress, and basically accept chaos.
They accept entropy and inefficiency and think that “someday” things will work out.
This is avoidable if you keep your eye on the ball and stay consistent.
a) The key to consistency is to keep tracking performance against your baseline (where you started) and towards your goal.
You must review your inputs (time, attention, and energy) and measure their effect on the output you’re getting.
A simple way to do this is to track:
1. Your Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, Habits
2. Number of hours you spend on deep work every day
3. Your Output
→ Then optimize for maximum output (results)
You want to review your input and output every week.
Pick one day of the week and schedule an hour so you can review your progress toward your ONE Big & Specific Goal.
In your weekly review, you want to ask questions:
• What's the ONE Thing in the last week that progressed my [Big & Specific Key Metric ] the most?
• What's the ONE Thing that I can eliminate this week that'll make it easier to focus on [Big & Specific Key Metric]?
• What's the ONE Thing that I can focus on that'll progress my [Big & Specific Key Metric] the most such that everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
b) Protect Your Time Block at All Costs
The world doesn't care about your goals or priorities and isn't responsible for them- you are.
The only way to make your goals become a reality is to protect your time blocks and make them non-negotiable.
They are like appointments to the doctor but instead with yourself.
If someone tries to double-book, you say "I'm sorry, I already have an appointment at that time" and offer other options.
Until your ONE Thing is DONE- Everything else is a distraction.
If something comes up schedule it after your time block or write it down on a task list and get back to working on what you're supposed to be doing.
c) Systems and tools you can use to keep you on the right path
- Oura Ring for Sleep Quality
- Clear Goals, Vision, Principles
- Calendar (War Map) - To plan your weeks, months, years, days, and hours. - I use Notion
- Habit & Performance Tracking Sheet - to track and keep your inputs consistent: food, exercise, hydration, sleep, meditation, habits.
- Standardized Metrics for business outputs: Revenue, profit, growth.
- Standardized Daily Routine to maintain consistent deep work.
- Performance Coach - get a coach to observe you and keep you focused.

Here’s a story of how we took 55 homeless children off the streets of Lekki/epe expressway, and helped them find their place in the world again.
A thread…
Thanks to @AltSchoolAfrica , I finally started coding after lying to myself all these while i wpuld just focus on designing and was cut out for coding.
I grasped the the core fundamentals of Html, CSS and JavaScript and went from Zero knowledge of coding to writing code.
@setemiojo @risingodegua @RealJerryEze @TabithaKavyu Like Jerry and Tabitha would say. May the force be with you.
I hope to write more and document this journey.
