6. #1 Priority in your business is getting
rid of all the distractions and
interruptions that are keeping you from
your ONE thing!

Email
Texting
Phone Calls
Nagging thoughts
8. What’s YOUR One?
Everyone is different - here’s ours
•Helping my referral partners
(office presentations, etc)
•Then following up with those referral
partners consistently
DO ONLY THOSE THINGS!
9. The Key Is To Make Sure You Are
Working On That #1 Business
Opportunity Each Day
10. In “The Zone”
How long does it take to get back in “the zone”
when you have been interrupted?
Never get anything done! Never score!
Busy but not productive!
11. So Richard......
It seems like you are out a lot. How
many hours a day do you work?
How can you be on the road so much
and get so much accomplished?
12. Step One - Organization Start with your
office
Doesn‘t matter if you work from home or in an
office
Need a quiet, interruption free “zone”
Need good equipment. Good computer,
phone, camera, software
Need a comfortable place to sit so you don’t
hurt at the end of the day
13. Yes, Size Matters
Get a bigger monitor (Or two)
Study from University of Utah
Increase your productivity by over 50%
I got a 27” monitor and notice a huge difference
Reason? Can open 2 browsers at once
or a PowerPoint and Word Doc as same time
14. Now your Calendar
Our bodies work on rhythms
Circadian Rhythm
Ultradian Rhythm
90-120 minutes of really focused
attention
20-30 minutes of lesser focus
15. Divide day into multiple - 2.5 hour cycles
Focus hard for 50 minutes take 10 minute break
Then do it again
Take a 20-30 minute break
Lather, Rinse, Repeat all through out the day
16. Key Points! (Morning Success
Ritual)
Use very first cycle of day for you!
50 minutes exercise - shower/rest
50 minutes personal growth - 10 mins. rest
30 minutes breakfast
Use a count down timer
**Do at least one cycle for work
17. DON’T Check email or turn on phone until
one work cycle is done
Don’t answer phone during cycle
Do your MOST productive task in your first
cycle. Sets tone for day
SEE A 300-400% INCREASE IN YOUR
BUSINESS
GUARANTEED
18. WILL POWER!!
Strongest in morning
Use it to start new habits
It was hard at first, now easy
Getting lots more done
No longer a fireman
My staff does it too so whole office is
productive
19. Step Two - Take Charge of Email!
Only check 1 - 2 times a day BY DESIGN!
Do NOT check it first thing in the morning
(Gets your day off to a bad start)
When you do check, process, reassign,
delegate, make it a task/project
immediately
Don’t let your inbox build up
Check your task list daily - break large
projects into smaller ones with mindmap
20. Use Web-based Email
Use a web-based email system like
GMail. (We have a whole class on it!)
Put everything in folders (have one for
each client or project)
Easy to search
Set up filters
21. Step Three - Help!
Get an assistant
Start with part-time if needed
They do your 80%! So you can do your
20%
answer phone, collect docs, call referral
partners, call buyers and sellers, edit
video, research scripts, manage social
media, work on database
You can’t say, “I’ll get to that” forever.
22. Take Good Notes
Use this for yourself and your assistant
Find ONE way that works best
Notebook
Cellphone
Digital Recorder
Evernote
Transfer to task list or mindmap
25. 6am - 7am Drink 1/2 liter of water, Exercise and
Shower
7am - 8am Personal growth time (read, take a
class, meditate, self help book, music)
8am - 8:30 Breakfast (3-400 calories)
8:30 - 9am Get to work, drive kids to school,
etc.
9am-11am Start first work cycle with THE most
productive thing for your business
11am-11:30 Take a RELAXATION break, eat (3400 calories)
11:30 Check email for 1st time of the day Assign tasks, delegate, etc.
Noon Start second work cycle
At end of day, empty email and plan your next
day
26. Make a Promise!
Goals don’t work
Only promises do
Make a promise to you and your family
Make a promise to an accountability
partner
Make a promise to your staff (they
count on you too :)
Make a promise to me!
27. Exercise
• Map out 60/60/30 for your morning success ritual
• Map out 60/60/30 for your work
• Map out 60/60/30 for home
Editor's Notes
Morning success ritual, clearing your mental desk…. So you can focus
Distinction between able and do. What gets the grocery shopping done? Being able to go shopping or actually getting off your butt and going to the grocery store?
What should the #1 priority in your business be?
We talked about this, clearing the clutter from your ;mind, getting rid of lose ends and other energy robbers.
Making new connections. How do we do that? Good teaching, Video, Webinars, Emails
Not answering the phones, billing, emails, support
Constantly calling timeouts, or in the huddle nothing would get done!
Being busy is like a 99 yard drive and not scoring
Heart beat, breathing
Circadian - the 24 hour day rhythm - rising and sleeping with the sun
Ultradian - the 2-2.5 cycles that run with the circadian - Hungry every 2-3 hours, less focus, rem sleep
Everyone’s rhythm is a little different.
Everyone’s break will be different. The key is to RELAX your mind and not keep it working.
Tammy takes a nap, Carl listens to music and reads or watches TV.
If you are new at this, it may be hard to jump right in and change your whole schedule. So just do this for the 1st half of the day and then go back to your normal routine. Will show an example at the end.
Kind of like cheating on your diet the first thing in the morning. Sets the tone for the day.
This empties your mind so that is isn’t cluttered. Let’s you create new ideas!
