💡 Quote I'm pondering

“Productivity is not about doing more, but doing the right things efficiently. Prioritize your tasks and focus on what truly matters." - Brian Tracy

I remember in my early businesses that I only ever felt productive when I worked many hours. I thought doing more meant I’d progress more. You can dig all day but if it’s not where the treasure is then you’ll never find it.

If you want to move forward, you have to do things that move you forward.

If I spend 10 minutes doing something that moves me forward, that is worth more than 10 hours of work spent on something that doesn’t.

It is a very difficult mental switch for people - we are programmed from a young age to correlate hours worked with productivity - but you can change the mentality. I’ve helped loads of people do it. And when it does finally click that you don’t need to work crazy hours every day, the relief and release it gives you is incomparable. It frees you from your own self-judgment, it allows you to finally relax in a guilt-free way.

This quote isn’t going to instantly switch the mentality for you, but I hope it helps make you aware that the switch is worth it, that it is possible, and that it helps you on your first step toward a happier future.

🤔 Curious about how I help people like you?

I like to keep things simple. My offers can be boiled down to one key promise: When you work with me, you will make more money and you will work fewer hours. Sounds counterintuitive, but I’ve helped more than 270 people achieve exactly that so far. Systems work.

My offer is also a little counterintuitive, I provide unlimited 1:1 coaching support to you. Everyone asks how that is possible as they assume I will be swamped with sessions, but by offering unlimited sessions it aligns our goals:

• You (my client) want reliable support whenever you happen to need it and to achieve your goals with me

  
  

• I want you to focus on the value you get rather than the time we spend together

  
  

I get rewarded with more free time when I give good sessions that answer all your questions and actually help you achieve your goals. It is in my interests to give sessions so good that you don’t need to speak with me for a week or two because you’re already so clear on what to do and how to do it. That helps you have more time and make more progress.
