HOW TO GET SUPER PRODUCTIVE?

Motivation can only get you started. It is habits that keep you going. What you need is a routine in your life. Most of us don’t have any schedule for doing the things we want to do. So we randomly pick up anything anytime and then we bore ourselves to death. It so happens that you have important unfinished tasks which need your attention but which you’re not doing because there is no time because you never made time for those tasks.

Here is what you need:

1. MAKE TWO LISTS.

On the first list, write down all your goals, pending tasks, things you want to do/ accomplish. On the second list, take inventory of how you’re spending your time everyday for one full week. Do not push yourself this first week. Just observe yourself as to how you run & keep recording on your 2nd list how you spend your time every hour for this one week.

2. MAKE A SCHEDULE.

Now put both the above lists together and see where your time is going and how much of your time is actually spent on things you wrote on list 1. Then, divide your days into time-slots. Say, work, workout, morning, evening, before bed, etc. All these are slots in a day that you will fill with activities of 1st list. Make sure to keep one day a week for leisure/ rest/ rejuvenating yourself, because the idea is to hustle hard on rest of the six days so that you can achieve more and get things done. Use a reminder app on your smartphone and schedule time for everything from sleeping to taking bath, evening walks, workouts, and everything else you do. Make sure you have a specific time for everything so that everyday, you know what you’re going to do every hour. Also take time out once a week to pre plan your week, preferably Sunday. Spend 2-3 hours planning your week every Sunday. Inform your friends and family members when you’ll be available for them and that they should not disturb you any other time unless it is a super emergency.

Claim your time. Claim your life.
Good luck!

P.S. Always modify your schedule as and when required. Nothing is permanent and when you’ll see great results from the above methods, you’ll want to get ultra productive and customize your schedule for optimum results.

STEP SEVEN: Creating your exit strategy

PETER PRINCIPLE: THE MAXIMUM THAT YOU CAN DO.

AFTER YOU TAKE YOUR COMPANY PUBLIC, YOU WILL BE THROWN OUT OF YOUR COMPANY. THAT’S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO HAPPEN. THAT’S WHY A LOT OF GUYS DON’T GO PUBLIC. 

ONCE YOU REACH YOUR PETER PRINCIPLE, YOU’LL BE THROWN OUT. SO THERE IS A DARK SIDE TO THE EQUITY FINANCING. ONCE YOU ACCEPT THAT YOU’D RATHER BE A LARGE PART OF A 100 MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY THAN TO BE THE ONLY PART OF A 5 TO 10 MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, IT’S EASY TO DEAL WITH IT.

MANAGING GROWTH AND PREPARING FOR DIVERSIFICATIONS – BIG DREAMS, BIG PROBLEMS, BIG REWARDS

CLOSING THE DEAL: IF YOU’RE NOT READY TO DIE, THEN YOU’RE NOT READY TO LIVE. IF YOU’RE NOT READY TO DO EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE SHORT OF DYING, THEN THE CHANCES OF DEAL COMING TO FRUITION ARE DIMINISHED GREATLY. YOU WANT TO SIMULATE SUCCESS. 

  • ACT SUCCESSFUL
  • HAND AROUND WITH THE BIG DOGS
  • PEE IN THE TALL GRASS

THAT’S HOW YOU PICK UP THE TRAITS OF THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE SUPER SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE.

  • IF YOU’RE IN YOUR 40s, SELL YOUR BUSINESS IN THE NEXT UPCYCLE.
  • DO THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS? ABSOLUTELY YES, THEY DO, AS LONG AS IT IS LEGAL, MORAL & ETHICAL.
  • USE HORSE BLINDERS FOR LASER BEAM FOCUS
  • THE MOST IMPORTANT BUSINESS DECISION YOU MAKE SINCE STARTING IS GETTING OUT.

QUICK SUMMARY:

  • YOU HAVE A DREAM
  • PUT A DREAM TEAM TOGETHER [HUMAN RESOURCES – BOARD/MENTOR]
  • PERCEPTION EQUALS REALITY [ACT MORE SUCCESSFUL. YOU HAVE ONLY ONE TIME TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION.]
  • TAKE ACTION NOW
  • DEVELOP YOUR QUANTUM LEAP ACTION PLAN [USE THE FORM – MAKE A MARGINAL SHIFT]
  • 11 STEPS FROM IDEA TO EXECUTION [IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU’RE AN INTROVERT]
  • YOU CAN’T DO IT ALONE
  • DON’T FIND TIME. JUST DO IT. 
  • EAT, SLEEP, BREATHE YOUR DREAM FOR EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE FROM NOW TILL THEY PUT DIRT ON YOU [LIKE DAN’S DREAM OF CASTLE BETWEEN APRIL 1983 TO AUGUST 1984]
  • IN YOUR MIND, HAVE THE PERCEPTION OF WHAT YOU WANT TO BE, AND THEN PEOPLE’S PERCEPTION OF YOU WILL FOLLOW.

THE PEOPLE WE CALL GIFTED ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE CROWD IN ONE SPECIAL WAY. THEY ACCEPTED THEIR GIFTS. THEY LET IT HAPPEN. THE HIGH-ACHIEVERS, THE PERSONS YOU ADMIRE, ARE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO OPENED THEIR GIFTS. THESE WINNERS HAVE MORE GIFTS BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED THEM, TOOK THEM OUT OF THE WRAPPINGS AND USED THEM.

THE FUTURE IS YOURS. APPROACH IT WITH HONESTY AND AMBITIOUSLY WITH A WILL TO FIGHT THE RIGHTS OF MANKIND. ALWAYS BALANCE THE RIGHTS OF MAN WITH THE RIGHTS OF SOCIETY. HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF [SELF-ESTEEM] AND FAITH IN PEOPLE [GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY, ALLOW THEM TO MAKE MISTAKES, HELP THEM GROW] FOR IF YOU TRUST NO ONE, YOU CANNOT TRUST YOURSELF.
