Where are you REALLY?
Where are you REALLY?
Hey there!
Welcome to our FREE Profit Acceleration Business Educational Series.
This value packed series will give you real-world strategies for your business and provide a complete course over the next several weeks in Profit Acceleration Principles, as well as in-depth knowledge on how to manage your business.
I’ll be breaking down the different ‘parts’ of the ‘prolific productivity’ tools over these next few days…one day and one step at a time.
To accomplish a desired outcome, you must …
1: Know your desired new outcome
2: Develop your new plan
3: Execute your new plan
👆 That’s ‘The Results Formula’ …
We already know your desired outcome: to make more money with less effort in any economic climate.
Right? So now we need to develop the plan. The first step in developing the plan is to answer the following question:
Where am I, really? In order for the GPS on your phone to guide you it needs to know WHERE YOU ARE CURRENTLY, and WHERE YOU WANT TO GO. Same applies here.
So let’s start by giving you a tool that will help you get clear on WHERE YOU ARE NOW.
The tool?
End Of Day (EOD) Reports
EODs work so well because they provide a feedback loop for your life.
A feedback loop is the part of the system in which a portion of the system’s output is used as input for future, more profitable, operations. It also allows you and your business / marketing to keep your finger on the pulse. Here’s how it works:
Every day - as part of my system, I sit down before bed and I audit my direction in 6 key categories. (spiritual, emotional, financial, mental, physical, relational). I rate each on a scale of 1-10.
It’s easy and takes me 5 minutes… but most people only do this kind of work once per year (Jan 1).
Can you imagine the speed advantage I have because of this daily process?
Think about it this way: I can accomplish the same level of clarity & insight as most people get in 365 — daily
This means errors are fixed in 24-48 hours (not 6-12 months).
This means categories of your life (like being a good parent, friend, or partner) are improved & enhanced every couple of days (not 6-12 months).
This isn’t an overnight transformation though. You’ll have to do it consistently for a while before you start to really experience the benefits, especially if you’ve been off track for a while.
The longer you’ve been heading in the wrong direction, the longer it will take to course correct. But, can you feel the power of simply, avoiding wrong turns in the first place? Imagine how much easier it is to hit your targets if you’re not sprinting the WRONG DIRECTION!
The whole point of this EOD tool is to help you accurately define and decide where you are and the path your life is taking you. Time can be your greatest asset IF you learn to control it. That’s what this first prolific productivity tool is all about. The passing of time takes us places…but the starting place for all of us is where we are now, today...
So with that said, let’s talk specific actions that you can take right now:
First, you need to get an accurate read of how you are currently spending your time. You can use a free tool called toggl.com to do this (it works great) Next, start using EOD (end of day) reports. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy...
online journal apps (I like dayoneapp.com)
notepad on your phone
write it down by hand using an iPad or ReMarkable
a notebook and pen beside the bed works also
Here’s how to complete a basic EOD report. (there are 3 parts)
Today’s DATE (write at the top)
Rate yourself 1-10 in the following areas: Spiritual, Emotional, Financial, Mental, Physical, Relational
Free write for 5 min about anything you want (usually about why you rated the way you did)
That’s it. That’s all that’s required to do an EOD. It may seem insignificant at first, but the more consistently you do it, the more accurately you’ll see your current location. Start this process tonight. I’ll give you the next tool in tomorrow’s email. ENJOY!
