The ultimate productivity hack

If you search online for productivity advice you’ll find a lot of similar advice…

• “Here’s the 3 hour morning routine you need to have.”
• “How to build (or break) habits.”
• “Try this complicated system to be more productive.”
• “Work even harder for much longer.”

…and don’t get me wrong sometimes it can be helpful.

But most of the time - it’s a waste of time.

Why?

It’s putting the cart before the horse.

Would you expect a Ferrari to perform with a Honda Civic engine?

Can you build a quality house on a weak foundation?

No.

That’s how most productivity advice goes.

So, we find ourselves stuck and overwhelmed.

But what if your lack of consistency, focus, and follow-through wasn’t because you’re lazy?

Or because you are lacking fancy systems, tools, or strategies?

I’m here to tell you:

It’s not.

Most productivity “gurus” miss the mark.

They don’t talk about why - event with all the flashy advice or tactics - you are stuck.

What I’m sharing with you today is not theory.

It’s not a cute quote from book.

It’s not repackaged from another coach or influencer.

It’s the same information that freed me to create a life and business by design…

…and to help others do the same.

From wounded to winning

I didn’t grow up with the odds on my side…

…or receive the tools, tactics, and teaching needed to thrive.

Quite the opposite:

• Physical, sexual, emotional, and mental abuse as a kid.
• Lost my brother to heroin at age 16 and used drugs by age 12.
• Moved out my own by 17 and living with my long term girlfriend at the time.

I learned early that if I wanted to live differently….

…I would have to go my own way…

…and find answers that my family or society didn’t give me.

The same fire that was burning me alive inside also drove me:

• $60k+ in my first year out of high school
• Multiple 6-figure years as a self-employed entrepreneur by age 20
• Crossed the $1 million earned mark by age 25

I was self-employed, in shape, earning six figures, and respected by my peers.

But unfortunately…

…the productivity and self improvement guru’s couldn’t tell me why behind the scenes I was crumbling:

• Addicted to stress and chaos.
• Sabotaging good things in my life.
• Overthinking myself into paralysis.
• Constantly “failing” my routines.
• Unfulfilled no matter how much money I made.

It wasn’t a strategy issue.

It was unresolved trauma driving my nervous system into fight-or-flight daily…

…and calling it “hustle” or “hard work”.

I thought I had a productivity problem.

What I really had was a programming problem.

My Internal Operating System had some bugs.

Although I had learned and overcame a lot by then - there was a layer deeper I hadn’t discovered.

Healing your nervous system, rewiring beliefs, and clearing emotional weight isn’t “woo-woo.”

It’s the final piece to a puzzle we’ve all faced:

How to have insane productivity and prosperity…

…with damn near constant peace in our lives.

That’s true freedom.

Here’s how you can start right away:

Upgrade your Internal Operating System

Here’s what to ask yourself today:

1. Where am I forcing myself to do things that drain me?
2. What belief or emotion keeps pulling me backward?
3. What would it look like to operate from peace, not pressure?

Progress accelerates when you stop treating emotional wounds with productivity band-aids.

Real Results Begins Inside

“ You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems — James Clear

Your internal system is the foundation.

And if it’s built on old pain, guilt, and outdated definitions of success…

…you’ll always sabotage your next level.

PS. In August, a few of us are gathering for an all-inclusive retreat designed to help you reset both your internal & external operating systems.

If you know you’re meant for more…

…and are ready to unlock your next level in peace and power…

…this is your invite.

Thank God for good people

Last weekend I had a client do something that brought me to tears.

I couldn’t put into words how much that meant to me…

…and how helpful it was.

It was the answer to my prayers.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t for the weak.

It’s high risk and high stress - especially in the beginning stages of building a business.

I’ve told this joke before - but it’s worth repeating:

“My stomach hurts from all the humble pie I’ve eaten lately.” - Me

At the start of this year I stopped operating my previous real estate business full time.

My income went from a consistent $10-20k/month like clock work…

…to nothing overnight.

Since going all in on working with clients and building my new business - I’ve had some big wins - and set backs.

• $12k+ in my first “full time month”
• Bank account at $0 after reinvesting it all, and paying off debt.

If I’m being honest (almost) every dollar earned over the last 3 years I’ve invested into my new business.

• Running retreats - $50k+
• Education and skills - $50k+
• Healing myself - $30k+

If my bank account was a car - it’s redlined more times than I would like to admit.

Add on top that I got myself into debt for the first time over the last 3 years…

…it’s been humbling to say the least.

Faith and perseverance is tested daily.

Why do I share this?

Because there are enough people giving you the highlight reel online.

Nobody is sharing the raw shit…

…like wanting to commit suicide and give up because you are so discouraged…

…but knowing deep down you can’t because you have a mission bigger than you.

I’ve experienced that 1,000,000’s of times on my journey.

All apart of the process lol.

No matter what - quitting is not an option.

Thank God for good people like Brett.

✅ My Win: Over 400 YouTube subscribers!

I've began growing on YouTube and finding my own video style that works!

Only a matter of time before I'm at 1k, 10k, 100k, and eventually 1,000,000.

❌ My Challenge: School of hard knocks.

Although not fun learning the hard way is necessary at times.

Entrepreneurship exposes weak-points like nothing else.

• Poor habits.
• Limiting beliefs.
• Gaps in skill.

Maybe that’s why I enjoy it so much - it isn’t easy but it’s so rewarding to improve.

Thank god I didn’t grow up to be a little bitch - and I can take the beating when needed.

What I am working on

In my personal life: Work on the garden and the butterflies will come.

Everything in life is mental.

Our reality is a reflection of our consciousness.

My personal focus it to master cultivating my garden (mind) to attract more butterflies (abundance).

In my professional life: Marketing and sales skills.

I've improved my content, gotten more clarity on how to market what I do, and the business model that aligns with my goals.

Now my focus it to improve my skillset to match the opportunity in front of me.

After enrolling 10+ clients the last few months and raising my prices - it's time for more.

In my financial life: Debt free journey.

I’ve been able to create some big wins on my journey to becoming debt free.

• Negotiating interest rates.
• Consolidating debt.
• Reducing monthly payments.

Now my focus is to continue living lean, increase my income, and continue negotiating to save money.

One day, dollar, and decision at a time…

…until I am once again debt free.

Curious how your week is?

See you next week and as always...

Rooting for you 💪
