Crushing the Clock

Many people take this time of year to reflect over the past year, evaluate how they did, and make new goals for the new year. While there are certainly many things that I could look at in regards to this annual routine, the thought that comes to mind right now is the sheer amount of things that clamor for our attention.

If you’re like me, you have way too many things pulling for your time and attention. From family, to work, to church, to hobbies, to friendships and social engagements - there is no way we can do everything for everyone. Also, if you’re like me, you have a difficult time saying “no” to any of these requests - and, let’s be honest, not all requests are actually direct; some of them are requests that we assume because of some status quo.

Today, I want to bring a short episode to reflect on this and recommend two books and a podcast to help you with this very dilemma.

So many things scream for our attention. Our boss demands more tasks to be done. Our family demands our attention. Our calendar is crammed with activities. Our phones and computers ping us with notifications of things we either need to do or need to know. But, no matter how urgent they appear, most things in life don’t matter as much as they seem.

Many of these things may be good. Many of these things may even need to be done. But you need to ask yourself a couple questions:

• Do “I” need to be the one to do it?
• Does it need to be done now?
• What’s the worst thing that could happen if it doesn’t get done?

So when we realize that most of the things trying to grab our attention are more trivial and unimportant, then we start to realize that there are only a few things that are truly vital. The thing that makes this even more difficult is that these vital things are usually quiet.

They’re not the things yelling for our attention.

They’re the still, small voice in the background getting ignored by the things that are louder.

These vital things can be ignored for a while with no seemingly negative impact.

That is, until it suddenly becomes urgent.

That’s what happens when someone ignores their health until they find themselves in the emergency room.

That’s what happens when someone finds that they are getting served divorce papers from someone they don’t really know or care about anymore.

The vital few things in our life need to be identified and then prioritized intentionally.

This means that we need to start eliminating things from our lives. No, I’m not suggesting that you start cutting everything immediately or completely. You didn’t get overwhelmed overnight, but you have trained your brain over the years that overwhelm and crazy are normal - so you might not be able to handle such a drastic change.

But you should start by cutting a couple easier things from your life and schedule.

Also, you need to prioritize the things you identified as vital for you. This means that you need to make sure that these things are scheduled and that nothing takes their place. If a conflict comes up, take the time to really assess if the new task or activity is vital and more important than what you already had scheduled. It may surprise you that what you already scheduled is the most important thing and you need to say “no” to the new request.

Of course, this is easy to say, but difficult to actually do.

At least, when you are starting out.

As you consistently prioritize your most important things - your most important relationships, responsibilities, activities, etc. - it’ll be easier to keep those at the top.

Now, you may get to the point where you eliminate virtually everything that is trivial and only do the things that are important - but you still struggle with balancing...

Not everyone works with a vision. A lot of people do things just because it is customary. However, working with a vision in mind would help one know where they are exactly headed. It would also drive people to take action. And knowing how to make your time productive will eventually lead to better results. 

Patricia Stepler works with business owners and entrepreneurs to increase their revenue and save more time by taking inspired action instead of doing things without a goal. She joins the podcast to talk about how one could achieve results, specifically in learning to delegate important things to accomplish your goal.

We can't manage time, but we can figure out how to manage our activities. If you can group activities, set a certain amount of time, and then keep that in a block schedule. Because if you can set up a routine, it becomes a habit that you do them. You can start by doing the thing you don't want to do first. Because once you get out of the way, then you feel like a weight has been lifted. And it's also good to have times of the day where you don't take any interruptions because one of the worst things we have are these things that disrupt our thinking. Once you have a disruption like that, it can take 15 to 25 minutes to get back to where you were. And you end up wasting time during your day. So gripping activities is a great way to avoid that.

There are a lot of techniques on block schedules. One could be blocking an hour of your time for a call with a client, a two for an email response, etc. However, as an entrepreneur, this might be difficult, and you'll end up wasting time instead of going back and forth. Others start by blocking out their morning to do the things that they need to do. Then set the afternoon to meet with other people. But you have to understand that this is also a mindset switch. Because everything you set yourself becomes your habits, it also means you have to do it regularly. You can create a list of activities you have to do and check them off through the day. Try also to check how is it working for you. If not, try to look for other ways to make it work. Like, organizing yourself or developing a system and avoiding things that will make you unproductive. 

Writing things on a piece of paper can be good if you don't lose them! So, another technique is jotting your task on a whiteboard. If you have a few minutes to spare in your day, you can look at your whiteboard. Or even find a task that maybe you can do in 15 or 20 minutes and get that wiped out. It's a good resource to remind you of things that need to be done at a time, which isn't a block time. Because what happens in trying to remember the things you have to do – will make you forget about it even more. So, it's another good technique to become more efficient with your time.

Some days, something's going to happen, and it will interrupt your perfect schedule. One morning, you might find you have an errand to run. It was not a choice, so it interrupted your schedule. But as soon as you got back into your schedule, you kind of played little catch-up. And you have to allow yourself that! We don't live on this perfect day. So get back on task as quickly as you can.

And if you run out of time, generally look at the most important thing you need to do. Ask yourself, "What's the most important thing for me to do today that's going to make the biggest impact on my business?". And then start with that. And then if you can get some other things in great. Maybe you can work a little faster, or keep your phone calls shorter or something to make up for that time. But we also need to forgive ourselves for the things that happen along the day – the unexpected things.

When you're evaluating your day, and if you go an entire week and never get a day, you feel...

People have varying definitions of joy. Some tend to look for material things to guarantee such joy and associate it with happiness. While only a few go beyond these external things to find the true meaning of joy. However, with the society that people live in – people succumb more to superficial things in defining joy and bridge such ideas to happiness. But the real question is, how do we seek joy in this world fully dictated with material things in defining life's beauty?

Erin Mac joins the podcast to talk about joy. Specifically, how you could recognize your experience and learn to strategize it to a positive experience regardless of outside influences. As someone who's built her company 20 years ago, Erin shares more how money can't provide the real meaning of joy, and it won’t help if you only rely on external things. In this episode, she shares how one can start finding oneself and get on that journey.

Impenetrable joy is the experience that you no longer have to be at the mercy of or beholden to people or circumstances to dictate as to whether you're having a good day or a bad day, or for that matter, a good life or a bad life. You're no longer on the roller coaster ride of emotions, like when someone says something or something happens, and all of a sudden, our mood switches, and we start going south. When you recognize that you are responsible for your experiences and learn how to change them into the experiences you want, then create a penetrable joy, which is internal. It's not based on something that's going on externally.

It's recognizing that some things are going on behind the scenes that we are often unaware of, and when we can get awareness of them, we can begin to unpack what's going on. Not so much on why it happened, what were the circumstances or the things that led to the experience, but more just in the proactive state of how can I change that experience? 

The difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is based on external things. It's a brand-new car, but it's short-lived and is based on an external thing. Joy is an internal experience that you can create throughout each day. However, the idea of happiness that we've been taught in our society and many other societies is based on external things. But the real joy is the kind of joy available now, regardless of what's going on out here. The internal experiences, the one that's meaningful and has a purpose. And that's what we're after. But people don't know it because we don't make these distinctions.

We have this idea of sufficiency and excess. It's like, what is going to be enough for me? Is it enough to have a nice home, to have shelter, to have access to food and water? Is it enough to have those things to have deep, meaningful relationships with people and purpose and meaning in your life? Or do I need to subscribe to what society would have you believe? 

If that's the case, why are multimillionaires or billionaire clients also miserable despite having all the money? It's because of that happiness thing they were pursuing. Because it's the journey inside that has meaning and purpose. It's not the exterior nor the external things.

People are essentially here for growth. As humans like to evolve as human beings. And when we can align with that idea, then we find purpose and meaning in our life. Hence, the way to begin the growth journey is to recognize that you do not have purpose and meaning. And sometimes, that comes in the form of a crisis. Like recognizing that if you keep doing the same things repeatedly, you will have the same...

Eddie Maalouf is an entrepreneur and marketer at brilliantmarketers.com 

In college, Eddie would skip classes and go out start his own businesses on the side. He always had the idea of starting his own business. Once he graduated college, he worked for a fitness company and became the number one salesman. But once he realized he had reached the top spot, he decided to quit his job and work for his father for a flat rate plus 20% of any revenue increases in his father’s business. During that time, Eddie realized like the wonders that marketing actually does for a business. Since then he expanded by starting a team and building an agency.  

Eddie sees three challenges that are common to most businesses. The first challenge is when people are making money, and they're often self employed, and they don't want to hire. They want to see how much they can make without having to hire someone. But then there comes a point where you need to hire someone. 

In some cases, there are people that are ineffective in their company, that aren't doing the job. When you fire them, you notice that your efficiency as a company still stays the same.

Eddie says, “I'd rather own half of a watermelon than an entire grape.” This is why mindset is so important when looking at a business. In order to get to that kind of watermelon point, you have to build the team around you to take care of other things.

The second challenge is marketing. Eddie says the biggest growth in every business that he has seen comes from a really good marketing campaign. So that is usually the bottleneck. And when that campaign works well, it often leads back to the first challenge with hiring. 

The third challenge is that owners need to invest in themselves and their own mindset and personal development.  For example, if all someone’s friends make $10,000 a month and they make 20,000 a month they think they're a success. But you know, if you actually said that at the wrong table at a restaurant, you realize all those people are making a million dollars a month. All of a sudden, that whole mindset that you had your whole life just kind of comes crashing down. 

The first step is recognizing where you need employees. When a business owner hires someone to do one or two jobs that take the most time out of your day, you'd be surprised within a month, they probably are doing that job better than the owner, because that is that they do that from nine to five every single day. 

Once Eddie realized this, he became more comfortable hiring and like losing money for a month, knowing that next month, this person on my team is going to be able to generate that revenue back and make even more revenue in the future. 

Eddie says that it is also important to know that not everyone is going to have the same vision as the owner. And they're not going to understand what metrics are important and what standards the business owner has. That’s why it is important to use KPI’s, or key performance indicators, on paper for each position. 

I learned a lot from this interview and I wanted to mention that Eddie’s course is available at brilliantmarketers.com. This program primarily teaches business owners how to learn online advertising. I recommend checking it out. 

With the constant demand of time in a fast-paced world, automation took the stage of varied industries. From marketing, management, support, and more, human intervention was less needed, and technology became essential. Hence, businesses delve more into implementing automation, especially when industries shift to virtual set-ups.

Samantha Pointer Foxx of Samantha Pointer Enterprises helps businesses automate their marketing and sales systems. Her whirlwind journey began as a professional organizer in 1997. After ten years, she started to help clients organize their digital files and go paperless. From there, she went to marketing and started a web business design after college. Years later, she joined Chris Davis’ automation program. Now, she joins the podcast to talk about automation. Specifically, mistakes people make when they start getting into the automation process and how they should overcome them.

One of the biggest mistakes is that people immediately jump into the technology tool itself without any strategy. In the end, they feel disgruntled. It would have been a great tool if you had started with a strategy on how you need to use it and knowing your end goal. It is like how easier it is to see problems beforehand when you’re doing it on paper first or mapping it out first. However, since many business owners aren’t tech-savvy, they get easily overwhelmed with the options. It’s like spending money without using it for your advantage and end up becoming a collector of all this software.

Keeping everything in your head on how to do things will keep it trapped in there. It’s easy to blow things up if it becomes complicated. But if you write it down, you can streamline a lot of things. Remember, you can’t scale your business if you’re the only one who knows what’s going on in your business. Document your process! It doesn’t have to be fancy. You can write or record and let someone else transcribe it into a document. It will help you pivot things up when need be.

Start at the place closest to the money. For example, if it is a process that you generate money and you are doing it manually, like a coach manually booking people. It can be a start to document the steps like what do you send out to the people? What information do you need? And find a tool that will automate that. Another place that’s easy to automate is social media. There are a plethora of social media dashboards you can use to start to automate that process. Like Facebook, you can start automating your posting with native Facebook and schedule stuff ahead of time. If you want to automate your content to drive awareness to you quickly, that would be a quick thing you could do to get started.

People want to save time, but some apps don't allow the usage of third-party tools, for you can be penalized for that. However, you can take advantage of a lot of stuff right from your phone and schedule or create content in advance. Also, most booking software has integrations with email management software like MailChimp or Active Campaign. You can have it set where it sends information once something is booked and send out these sets of emails. These are the types of things people can automate.

One major thing is to sit down and think about your goal for your business. What area is the most important for you to automate right now to put you on the path to reaching that goal? Once you do that and have the vision and the goal, that's where the strategy starts. Don't look at every other business out there. Because what works for one business may not necessarily work for yours, or you may not even need that. And don't get...

Welcome to Success Road Podcast. Today’s episode features Brent Magnussen. Brent is an avid practitioner of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, an accomplished cook, a speaker, and the author of the book Roger Up: The Mission Ready Blueprint to Crush the Morning, Own the Day, and Be the Best Version of You. 

Brent is also one of the board members of the Resilient Warrior Foundation which serves United States veterans, and first responders who suffer from post-traumatic stress. This organization provides scholarships to study the art of Brazilian jiu jitsu in the Academy of their choice, anywhere in the United States. Brent is a veteran and also an avid practitioner of Brazilian jiu jitsu. 

When someone is a member of the military, you are constantly in high stress situations. From the first day an individual arrives at basic training, people are screaming at you at four in the morning to get up and do a bunch of pushups. And they're spraying you with hoses and whatever else. Not to mention the verbal assault you take for a couple of months. As a result, individuals learn very quickly how to deal with stress. Once you’ve been in the military for an extended period of time, you get used to it. Then, when you leave the military, you're no longer in a constant state of stress. Many people have trouble coping with the difference in lifestyles. 

What Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu does is it provides you the opportunity to use stress in a safe environment. This allows the veteran to relearn how to manage stress. When you go through hard situations, you learn how to manage them. This approach transfers over into your work life, into your relationships, and into everything you do. You learn how to become a better person, and you get your confidence back.  

Brent mentioned his daughter is nine years old. And when she gets older, she's very likely going to be a smaller person as her Mom is five foot tall. I don't think Emma's going to be much over five foot, four or five foot five, 105 pounds. And God forbid, someone, some guy tries to attack her or hurt her.

Since she has been trained in jiu-jitsu, she's going to know exactly what to do. When she's on her back and having to deal with an aggressive person, she's going to know what to do. When a bully confronts her, she's going to know how to use her words first, because she's going to have that extreme confidence that if it does get physical, it doesn't matter if. 

 Brent came up with the Zero Five Thirty Blueprint. First, he gets up at 5:30. He says the key is getting up at the same time every morning. He says to never use the snooze button. The first thing he does is smile. Then he does a hundred pushups. He smiles because it tricks his body and gives him the right mindset. Then he gets up and makes the bed. Then he drinks sixteen ounces of room temperature water. Next he does some quick diaphragm breathing and goes for a walk. And after his walk, he takes a cold shower. 

In the rest of the podcast, Brent shares more information about Brazillian jiu-jitsu, morning routines, the benefits of water, and more. I encourage you to listen to the entire podcast. Special thanks to Brent for being on Success Road. 

People find it very difficult to manage their energy. Especially if the energy comes from considering one’s food intake, hydration, exercise, sleep, and etc. It almost feels as if the difficulty comes not with the lack of focus or time. But the lack of habit to condition ourselves into doing so. Looking into these areas would actually lead to a good energy flow, as well as making us more productive in the process.

Chelsea Stegman has an undergrad degree at Miami University of Ohio. Got her dietetic internship in Louisiana, and worked with the worst diabetes, and kidney dialysis. Afterward, she became a dietitian, moved to Cincinnati, and worked in a health club for three years. Now, she’s in downtown Chicago, worked in another health club, finished her master's, and started her own virtual business. She now joins the podcast to talk about energy management. Specifically, about managing nutrition, how to decrease burnout, increase energy, productivity, and performance.

Managing nutrition often depends on the person but the most realistic way for you to start, with priorities in general, is finding that needle mover that moves all these other habits. Health-wise, it's focusing on exercise, and a lot of nutrition habits, water intake, and eating frequency. But a big priority with most people that leads to all these other things is managing blood sugar throughout the day and looking at macronutrients’ meal timing. And that can also help with productivity and reducing brain fog throughout the day.

You don't have to look at blood sugar, or blood values consistently. It's really what makes up your meals. Starting off the day with adequate protein, non-starchy vegetables, a complex carbohydrate, healthy fat, or overall a well-balanced meal. Also, looking into the components of each meal throughout your day, and ensuring that you are eating or snacking to just keep that blood sugar stable. So, you don’t ride the blood sugar roller coaster. And symptomatically we can feel it, we feel the cravings, we feel the brain fog, the energy dips, and rises and everything that comes with it. Hence, what people should look at is what they are eating and noticing that link between a lot of those symptoms. Also, we kind of life in a world of extremes, there are some components that do help with brain health, people with actual disorders, such as epilepsy. It can be beneficial for the general population. Not advised for that, just making more of a well-rounded approach. Because carbs can support brain health, muscle development, and so many other things. So just making sure we have all those components to keep it stable, and not just go into the extreme forms of dieting. All is right.

It is your stress hormone, it takes a diurnal rhythm, that spikes in the morning then slowly taper off throughout the day. And has an inverse relationship to melatonin. For instance, at night, when cortisol is supposed to be low, melatonin is supposed to be high. But some people could have that imbalance if their cortisol is high. A lot of people with productivity energy levels throughout the day performance, like at work or at the gym, are looking more into those cortisol levels and how they're managed. Also, it has a very close relationship with blood sugar too. Managing blood sugar can help manage that cortisol throughout the day. If blood sugar is super low, your cortisol spikes and vice versa. Also, you can tell symptomatically if you're tired and wired throughout the day. Your brains keep on going but you're physically...

As everything comes online, sometimes we could not eradicate the overwhelming pressure. We constantly work and speed things up. And we often forget to take a short pause or break. Then we either forget things altogether or leave things in a mess. Hence, burning out ourselves too in the process. 

Jimmy Claire is a motivational speaker and an autism advocate. He joins the podcast to talk about different time management tools and tips. Specifically, the tools he used to help improve his work-life balance.

One of the biggest things that helps a lot is block scheduling. And not like block scheduling and Google Calendar. It’s a different tool called Time Tune for Android. It helps you to block your time. It's useful because it helps you stay on track of each task on a day without overwhelming your calendar. It helps you to stay away from burnout, and information overload. Because sometimes too much information could shut you down. But with Time Tune, it can tell you that there's two hours’ time remaining, and you can find two hours of time that you didn't even know that you had.

What process are the most unfriendly tools to use and keep your most important websites at hand possible? Yes, you can have bookmarks, but then you can also have search functionality. Eventually, a bookmark bar is also going to fill up or you start scrolling down and say, “Now where do I put this website?” It's like a shell kind of game where that person puts the ball underneath it and mixes it all around and everything. So, there is this tool called things browser stack or stack browser. It lets you bookmark all the important web pages that you use on a daily basis. It keeps them all in one spot, and it syncs across your devices, from Windows and Linux and an Apple.

The notion is basically an all-in-one app that can do pretty much everything. You can store files, has databases like spreadsheets, and it condenses everything in just one box. So even if the text is long, it just makes the box bigger. And it doesn't overlap with another box or another row or column. It’s literally the best tool.

One of the other tools that you will find helpful is called station. It is a web browser extension and helps you find all the files that you need in different places that you put them in. And if you might say, “Okay, well, why can’t I just use my browsing history?” Yes, you can but if you want to have everything just a click away - you can use Station. It used to be an all-in-one app, but their goal was not to become a web browser, it was to help people find stuff. So, they kind of rebranded their tool and made it into a web extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. It's helpful because sometimes there are so many places where we store stuff, and we can't find it all nor do we really want to go to that service area, a lot of times.

One of the things you can use is called a Dragon. It's a Pomodoro timer app, it's free, and it syncs with your to-do list. If you are a person who likes everything digitally and has it on all your devices wherever you go and need them. Like if you forgot to upload up the night before on your computer, then you should be able to go on your phone, get it from the web browser, like the cloud storage. And instead of logging into every system.

Another tool that you...

There can be two types of people, the seed planter or the fireman. The firemen are those that wait until there's a problem and go to put out the fire. The seed planters are those that plant the seed in preparation before there's a problem. The huge difference between the two lies on how they view and manage their time. With emphasis on the significance factor more than urgency and importance.

Rory Vaden is a graduate from the University of Denver. He is the co-founder of southwestern consulting. He is a top performing conspiracy speaker from Toastmasters World Championship several years ago. He's the best-selling author of two different books. And he also shares a birthday with Kevin Spacey and Sandra Bullock. Above all, a fantastic husband. He joins the podcast to talk about his new book called Procrastinate on Purpose. Specifically, about five permissions to multiply your time.

John de Julius, who is an author and speaker, has a book called What's the Secret. In this book, he talks about great service. It is about providing something that is so hyper specific to one person. It's not giving out a rose to everybody who walks in your store, but it's doing something hyper specific to that person. And this was one of the best examples of it, where you're listening to the podcast, and then it occurs to you, and then you actually do it.

Being out of debt is a huge multiplier, and people don't realize how impactful it is. When you are debt free, it allows you to do what you want to do, and not as much what you have to do when you're in debt. For once you're out of debt, have a three-to-six-month emergency fund, and pay your house off, your whole life changes. Getting debt free is much more than freeing yourself from financial worry. It frees you to do whatever it is that brings you passion in life. And that's a huge moment. People massively underestimate the impact of doing that. Being debt free is one of the most important and significant transformations that anybody can make.

The book, Take the Stairs, was all about overcoming procrastination, improving self-discipline, and helping people do the things they know they should be doing, even when they don't feel like doing them. In the book, we talked about three different types of procrastination. First is classic procrastination, which is consciously delaying what you know you should be doing. And that's what we all think of when we hear the word. Second, creative avoidance, which is basically creating stuff for yourself to do. So, you can avoid doing the thing you really need to do, but you don't feel like doing. And third, priority dilution is different from the first two because it has nothing to do with being lazy, apathetic or disengaged, it actually affects the chronic overachievers, what happens though is that as you become more successful, you have more and more things coming to you for attention, more people to take care of more responsibilities, more moving pieces of your business. And your priorities naturally start to dilute.

Everything that you read in time management isn't just logical, it's emotional. And how we choose to spend our time has much to do with feelings of guilt, and anxiety and worry and stress and the desire to feel important and the desire to feel successful. And the desire to feel included as it does with anything. And yet nobody ever talks about the emotional side of productivity and time management. And so, we realized that that is a big element. And that's different in the world today. And that's where the subtitle “Five Permissions to Multiply Your Time” really comes from.

In the late

Jim Rohn said, "You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with." 

The amount of information we can get from people is astounding, and most of it is pretty useless. If you want to accelerate your learning,  you need to surround yourself with the right people. The people who will help you accelerate the ladder of success and not failure. It might seem pretty intense but not impossible. And all you have to do is to get started!

Geoff Woods was a former medical sales representative. In 2015, he started The Mentee Podcast because he wants to start a business that will deliver a massive impact on society. Later, he joined Gary and Jay in building the company around The One Thing. Now, he joins the podcast to talk about The One Thing. Specifically, how The One Thing can be the simple truth behind extraordinary results.

It's mind-blowing to see someone be able to pull off something amazing and seemingly effortless. But it can be hard to imagine it for yourself because we're so used to "Well, he is a movie star" or "He is a famous actor." But just because you don't see the clear path on how to go from where you are to where you want to be, doesn't mean that you can't take the first step. 

You need to learn to focus less on the destination and more on the journey. You hate it when you're in the middle of it but miss it when it's gone. So, enjoy the climb because that is where the value is. Stop focusing on the destination that you want and start celebrating the journey.

Which is more valuable, time or money? Time for sure! We're in the business of time and it's our most valuable resource. But most people spend time and do not invest it. We don't hold our time to the same standard we hold our dollars. But anything that we want in our life happens over time. You look at somebody who's built wealth, they built it over time. You look at somebody who's in shape they got there over time, you look at great marriages and relationships, they were developed over time. The key is over time. 

The path to getting everything you want in life personally and professionally starts by getting one thing at a time. Back in 2009, there was a group out of the Netherlands Wieder Domino productions, they broke the world record for Domino falls, they lined up 4.5 million dominoes. But the most amazing part was that when the leader of that group knocked the first one down, how much effort did that take? It's almost effortless. If you were that leader, you would have just unleashed 94,000 joules of energy. Put that into context, if you were to do 545 consecutive push-ups, that's how much energy you would release. So, think about it, the flick of a finger, that one subtle action could create a massive reaction. Small actions can unleash massive reactions. And if you graph this out, it's that hockey stick growth where it feels like you're moving forward not making much progress and suddenly, boom, it's just exponential. This is the shape of success. 

The seven circles are the seven most important areas of your life. And you only need one area to focus on. However, this is hard for people because they feel like they want to focus on all of them. But again, the path to getting everything you want starts by getting one thing at a time. Think big, go small, trust the dominoes will fall, start by picking one circle. It could be a circle that you are...
