What did you cut from your life this year that gave you joy?
Add it back.
Burnout doesn’t come from too much work.
It comes from cutting the things that give you life.
A better life doesn’t need a 10-year plan.
It just takes a decision and a calendar change.

The best ROI I’ve ever gotten?
Memory dividends.
This month: Kentucky Derby.
At the finish line with family & friends.
A moment that will pay me back for life.
Don’t just invest in assets.
Invest in stories worth remembering.
Burnout doesn’t come from working too much.
It comes from not doing the things outside of work that give you the most joy.
In 2017 I hit my biggest revenue month at that time…
and felt the most empty.
More money isn’t the answer.
More alignment w/ vision + energy is.

“What did I hire this business to do for me?”
I didn’t build a business to hustle 24/7.
I built it so I could live more of this.
Quiet. Outdoors. No calendar. No noise.
This is what freedom looks like to me.
Business not giving you the life you want?
What will you change?

Thoughts become things…
All that we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is a direct result if OUR thoughts.
The more time we spend thinking about what we DO want, vs what we DON’T want…
… the more we design a life we love.

Personally, I suck at efficiency (doing things quickly). Here’s my coping mechanism and process for maximizing efficacy (doing the right things):
1) Wake up at least 1 hour before you have to be at a computer screen. E-mail is the mind killer.
2) Make a cup of tea (I like pu-erh) and sit down with a pen/pencil and paper.
3) Write down the 3-5 things—and no more—that are making you most anxious or uncomfortable. They’re often things that have been punted from one day’s to-do list to the next, to the next, to the next, and so on. Most important usually = most uncomfortable, with some chance of rejection or conflict.
4) For each item, ask yourself:
– “If this were the only thing I accomplished today, would I be satisfied with my day?”
– “Will moving this forward make all the other to-do’s unimportant or easier to knock off later?”
5) Look only at the items you’ve answered “yes” to for at least one of these questions.
6) Block out at least 2-3 hours to focus on ONE of them for today. Let the rest of the urgent but less important stuff slide. It will still be there tomorrow.
7) TO BE CLEAR: Block out at least 2-3 HOURS to focus on ONE of them for today. This is ONE BLOCK OF TIME. Cobbling together 10 minutes here and there to add up to 120 minutes does not work.
8) If you get distracted or start procrastinating, don’t freak out and downward spiral; just gently come back to your ONE to-do.
Congratulations! That’s it.
This is the only way I can create big outcomes despite my never-ending impulse to procrastinate, nap, and otherwise fritter away my days with bullshit.
If I have 10 important things to do in a day, it’s 100% certain nothing important will get done that day. On the other hand, I can usually handle 1 must-do item and block out my lesser behaviors for 2-3 hours a day.
“Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.”
- Theophrastus
When we think of value, we think of things, people, health & love;
But unlike the cash we have in the bank- The total time we have is hidden from view, and all we can calculate is how much we have spent.
Greatness isn’t about significance…
… it’s about service.
Asking “Who’s life did I brighten today? Who did I encourage today? Who did I help unlock their greatness?” … immediately shifts the energy we bring to the day.
"You are everywhere, but you don’t have to be.
Strategy is a decision to take a path; to say no.”

This is how I strategically choose which marketing channels to cut and which to double down on👇

Stuck with too many priorities? Try this…
Remember 3-4-5.
Each month: You get 3 priorities (that’s IT until they’re done)
Each Week: You get 4 key focuses (max)
Each Day: You get 5 tasks.
Everything else is likely a distraction.
I’ve increased my “productivity” 10x over the past 90 days… and so can you.
At the root:
1. Busy ≠ Productive
2. Productive ≠ Effective
The ability to narrow your focus is a super power that saves time, energy, and money.
To do this, focus on these “4 P’s”…
Bonus tip: this really took off when my EA took ownership of my Priority & Goal Tracker.
Her primary job is to ensure I get my priorities done each week.🙌🏻
If you want my Priority and Goal Tracker, comment “Tracker” and I’ll send you a link to grab it free.
Enjoy :-) 🥕👊🏻
Last, rate your “Progress” on how you’re doing each week.
Each day I pull up my “Goal and Priority Tracker” and rate my progress on each priority
Red = not started
Yellow = Started not done
Green = Done
Then adjust calendar accordingly to get the top priority done.
