Transcription:

James: Our next guest is one of those really interesting individuals. Do you ever bump into someone who’s got so much more talent and ability than they even realize? You ever find that? I speak to a lot of people, I’ve coached people for many years, I travel a lot. Occasionally, I trip over someone who has got spectacular, super power abilities, and they don’t even realize it, kind of like a Cinderella story.

So what I'd like to do, instead of me sharing the sort of tips that I could share with you for you to go and work on your business, I want to show you what happens when you take some of the concepts and ideas from my way of looking at things, and you apply it. Just a regular school teacher, who's a bit geeky. I'd like to introduce Jarrod Robinson, the world's only and greatest PE Geek.



Jarrod: Thanks, James.

How focused are you?
Alright, really appreciate the opportunity to speak today, but I need some help first, and that's going to come from all of you in the audience. So if the answer to the question that you're about to get asked is "Yes", you simple just need to stand up in the spot where you are. Understand that? Pretty simple.

OK, the question is, stand up if you've actually had a moment in your business or your life where you've lost focus, where things seem a little bit out of control. (Audience laughter) Stand up.

(Audience stands)
OK, good. Probably got the desired effect that I hoped for. This is absolutely what my business struggles with, and I think we all sort of definitely struggle with it. And my contention is, the reason we lose focus is because we're doing too many things. And to emphasize that point, what I want you to do is to grab your right hand and put it on your left ear, so you got to work out what that one is first, and then make a point with your left hand and tap your nose. So just like that, really simple. And literally, all you need to do is uncross your hands and do the opposite. And try and do it as fast as you possibly can. (Audience laughter) Take a seat.

So as I look around the room, I mean Ezra poked his eye. It's a really simple task, but when you add more layers to it, it becomes really quite hard. And I think it's exactly the same with our business. You know, we add more things, and we don't necessarily see an improvement. And this is what I'm going to share with you today. More specifically though, it's how I've been able to grow my business by over 4,560 percent, bit of a weird figure.



But it's all come back to this idea of doing less and focusing in on what actually really matters.

And it's the story of then...
