EP 196: How To Become Extremely Productive & The Dark Side of Discipline w/ Craig Ballantyne


Listen Later

I’ve known Craig for over 15 years and met him when he was one of the first successful online coaches in the fitness space with Turbulence Training. Since then Craig has become one of the most sought after business coaches helping people get a lot more done in less time and cutting out all the BS that doesn’t matter. 

When Craig first started his entrepreneurial journey, he was just a dumb farm boy from Ontario, Canada, trapped in the lifestyle of being a broke, anxious, binge drinking personal trainer who had no desire to be any of those things.

But with the help of his mentors, he evolved into an Empire Builder with the discipline, clarity, and systems he needed to succeed.

And he’s gone on to build five 7-figure businesses in five different industries, write three books (including one Wall Street Journal best-seller), and mentor thousands of entrepreneurs all over the world. Ranging from 9-Figure CEOs and industry titans down to busy fathers and high school teachers and every one in between.

He’s helped more than 260 entrepreneurs earn their first 7-figures and helped countless others make more and work less. 

We talk about what matters in life and business, how to build REAL productivity and how these days discipline may be taking you away from your life goals. 


IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

=> Why Craig moved from Canada to Mexico where all his 3 kids were born.

=> Why wanting it all can lead you to a life that’s not very productive. 

=> Don’t add anything, start ruthlessly cutting out things of your calendar, here’s what and how!

=> Entrepreneurs take on things because of FOMO not because it will make their life or business better. 

=> Craig’s system for improving your productivity 3x with this ONE change. 

=> One of our top 3 business books every entrepreneur MUST get. 

=> What’s an unusual habit the most successful and productive people do that you likely don’t.

=> Why ice baths are the soy latter of personal development (and how “discipline” may be stopping your results).

=> Why you should block out your time like Warren Buffet to do THIS (less than 3% of business owners do this).

=> The perfect day formula and how to create the most effective and productive day. 

=> How discipline can go from being a savior to being a master (and how it can negatively affect your life).

=> Why a 3 year vision for your personal and professional life is so important (so you can have a straight line to success). 

=> Success looks different for different people, get clear on YOUR definition. 

=> How you may be influenced in the wrong direction for you from people you follow. 

=> Seasons of your career and what to say “no” and “yes” to. 

=> The paradox of choice and why you’re frozen from all the choices you have.

=> How Craig has taken his on stage and selling skills to the next level and focusing on ONE thing. 

=> What old school skills is Craig working on that help him make millions of dollars. 

=> The power of live events and why you should do them no matter the business you’re in.
