Darius chats with Mark Grant, a 41 year veteran of sports television and a 5x Emmy Award Winning Director for CBS Sports about how he became a valuable asset for every company he’s worked for. The secret sauce to Mark’s success is the perfect mixture of blessings, hard work, and good ol’ luck!  

“If I can do it, anyone can. I wasn't the smartest student, and when I started working in television, I didn’t always fit in with the people I was around, but no one out-worked me and I positioned myself to become a valuable asset to any company I worked for.”

• How Mark found his passion in broadcast journalism after originally wanting to be a doctor.

Our lives are a reflection of our decisions, and actions we’ve made in the past. If you’re looking to improve your lifestyle and career, you need to start with the goals you’ve established for yourself. 

Today, we’re going to discuss the importance of goal setting and how to create a vision statement that aligns with your priorities so you accomplish your goals. 

There are 6 key elements to a balanced life. Neglecting any ONE of these six will lead to friction within your lifestyle. Take responsibility and decide where do you want to be in these areas:

1. Faith
2. Finance 
3. Career
4. Health
5. Relationships
6. Hobbies

To help you along your journey, I created a template called the Perfect Year that’ll help you organize and track the progress of your goals. It is broken into 5 categories: The Perfect Day, The Perfect Week, The Perfect Month, The Perfect Quarter, and The Perfect Year. You will miss goals, that’s okay. The purpose of this template is to help you improve your focus. At the beginning of every year, we set goals and never go back and look at them. Or we’ll make goals that are vague and general, and lack the action steps and plans to achieve anything. This is why most goals fail. 

Download your Perfect Year Template to stay organized and track the progress of your goals. This will improve your focus - Click Here For Your Perfect Year Template

If you’re building a business or managing a side hustle listen up because today we’re going to review how to structure your schedule in a way that builds good habits and leads to long-term success through Time Blocking. 

In time blocking your schedule, each block is dedicated to accomplishing a specific task, or group of tasks, and only those specific tasks. YES, this means no checking social media, taking un-urgent phone calls, and responding to emails during designated time blocks. 

For those that are used to keeping a long to-do list and struggle to decide which items to check off first, you’ll soon be starting each day with a concrete schedule that lays out what you’ll work on and when. No more multitasking and allowing interruptions to dictate your day.

Here's a high-level overview of my typical workday:

6:00 AM - 6:30 AM (Wake Up + Morning Ritual)

7:00 AM - 7:45 AM (GYM)

8:00 AM - 8:45 AM (Daily Metric Review)

8:45 AM - 9:15 AM (Morning Buffer Block)

9:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Strategic Block #1)

11:45 AM - 12:15 PM (Mid-Day Buffer Block)

Noon - 1:00 PM (Breakout Block)

1:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Strategic Block #2)

(OPTIONAL) 3:45 PM - 4:15 PM (Afternoon Buffer Block)

(OPTIONAL) 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM (Breakout Block)

(OPTIONAL) 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (Strategic Block #3)

(OPTIONAL) 7:45 PM - 8:15 PM (Evening Buffer Block)

10:45 PM - 11:00 PM (Go to Bed + Night Ritual)

Download our time blocking framework to position yourself for success. The framework includes descriptions of each task and provides ideas on how you can maximize your time.
