If you’re wanting to ramp up your productivity and achieve more than you ever thought possible, then listen closely to this episode and prepare to take notes.

Here's a sneak peek at Den and Ben's chat:

 

  • The "HBU" theory. This is perhaps the greatest (and the most powerful and effective) productivity concept ever invented. This was discovered by a genius economist from the 18th-century named Dr. Irving Fisher. - 4:00


  • Jay Abraham's (world-renowned marketing wizard) bizarre (yet powerful) “cat in a cottage” story. This little story will open your eyes up to new opportunities you might have previously overlooked, and... make you think twice before you go and check your social media notifications. - 5:00


  • What NEVER to put on your smartphone if you want to become more productive. - 6:30


  • The single most important thing to teach your team, customers or employees that will dramatically boost YOUR productivity. - 7:25


  • The little-known 24-Hour rule. (this will make you more efficient, and...it will make you seem more professional to your clients and customer, too. - 8:00


  • The strange note Ben has hung up in his house that gives him more energy during the day. - 9:50


  • Ben talks about The Freedom fallacy. - 10:50

  • The "daily coin flip" exercise that highlights a horrible flaw in human nature. Fascinating stuff. - 12:40


  • The best explanation you'll ever hear on the popular "Be, Do, Have" concept. - 13:00


  • An incredibly dull and boring productivity tip that can quite possibly double your productivity. - 15:00


  • A little-known book every business person should read if they want to ramp up their productivity and streamline their business systems. (This book was written in 1984 by a brilliant business scientist named Dr. Goldratt. - 16:50)


  • Advice for business owners you'd be nuts not to take. - 17:00


  • The strange (and totally illogical and irrational) secret to life transformation. This admittedly strange secret is quoted in a movie from the late 90's featuring Ben Affleck.


  • The “once-a-day habit” that leads to bursts of creativity. (Always feel stuck for ideas or can't come up with solutions to problems, then start doing what Den mentions at 25:20


  • What counterintuitive thing high achievers do that ordinary folk think is a waste of time. - 26:00


  • Why immediately writing down your ideas is a BAD idea, and what to do instead. - 26:50


  • The case for joining a mastermind. - 31:00
