Most people fail.
And I've got a solution to stop you from failing,
and I'm gonna share it in this video
by my tried and tested methods
that I've been doing for years.
If you're new here,

if this is the sort of stuff that you like.
It's 2020 and I want this decade
and this year to be your best year.
And I've come up with some real strategies
and tactics, five, in fact,
that can really help grow your business.
And just like these buds on this tree,
it's your chance to really grow again,
stronger than ever before.
So guys, I've actually got a special guest
on the YouTube channel today.
It's my twin brother, Jim, and he's gonna discuss with me
how I'm gonna get more done
in the next decade and in this year.
So let's meet my brother Jim.
Thanks, James, for having me on the show.
It's a first, and I've been watching all your stuff
and hopefully your followers
are gonna subscribe and comment below.
So let's get stuck in,
what's the five things you can actually
do to get more done this year
and in the next decade to get your business
where you want to get it to be.
So James, teach me I'm ready to learn!
Step one is you need a trusty notebook.
I've been using notebooks
throughout my entrepreneurial career.
And I believe in running businesses
on objectives, strategies and tactics.
And the use the notebook
for the tactics of those objectives,
strategies and tactics theory.
This is my short term stuff,
the stuff I really need to get done within a week
or within a month.
I write it down and I make sure I use pens
I don't rely on putting it in technology
because I believe the actual physical process
of writing stuff down
gets me to get more stuff done
and then I can flick through it review on it.
Don't have to worry about tech.
It's a good thing to do.
But I haven't got a notebook bro.
Aw, thank you.
Stage two is working on your medium term goals.
I like to call these the 90 day goals.
What I like to do is write them on flip chart papers
or whiteboards.
So that right in my face that I can get the stuff done.
Other people pre design big 90 day wall charts,
we do that for some of our companies, that works too.
But make sure you've got your medium term goals
right in front of your face.
So you see them, action them and get them done.
Wow, you're so intelligent and smart.
It seems so obvious,
but people just don't do it, do they?
Number three is the list on my desk.
And this is my ultimate favorite
for getting more stuff done.
Here's mine, gold frame.
Sits next to my computer.
And it's my year vision plan.
It's all the bigger stuff that I need to get done.
Some bigger stuff that might need other people
to get involved.
Maybe some legals 'cause I wanna buy a property
or buy a business, sell a business, sell a property,
employ a new team, start a new brand.
Stuff that's just gonna take a little bit longer to do
because other people are involved.
And then when I've got these sort of daydream moments,
because I'm a human being, that happens to me too.
I can just look at this and go,
ah yeah, I need to chase that one.
I need to do that one.
Ah yeah, that's a big goal.
I need to get on that.
Because it's there right in front of my mind
next to my desk.
It makes me get this stuff done.
Now if some of these things don't get done this year,
then they go on to next year's list.
And that's what I've always done.
I just carry them over, but I get most of them done.
Because right in front of my eyes every single day.
(panting)
So many things to write down.
This is all great!
Point four is accountability.
Who's holding you accountable
on the things that you say that you're gonna to do?
Jim Rohn said this,
"You become the average of the five people
"that you spend most of your time with."
And he was right.
It's why big companies have non-exec directors
and shareholders to hold the board to account
what that company does.
That is one of the best things a small
and a growing business can take from a big, big business.
Who's your board?
Who've you got around you to hold you to account?
When are you gonna put that in place?
(chill music)
Point five, and this is my absolute favorite.
And this is from Bill Gates really that gave me this idea.
Bill Gates says this, he says that most people overestimate
what can be done in a year
but underestimate what can be done in 10 years.
And we're at the start of a new decade.
Can you imagine what your business looks like in 2030?
And the way you do this is make a prediction right now.
Get yourself a blank piece of paper
and a photo frame and hang it on the wall
and state what your business will look like
when it's 10 years older.
What does it look like when it's finished in 10 years time?
Jim Carrey also done this thing
where he wrote a check to his dad
when his dad died of how much money
he was gonna be worth in 10 years time
and he put it in his dad's top pocket in his funeral.
I did the same thing, I hanged a check up in my first house
of what my net worth was gonna be in 10 years time.
And it happened!
Because you commit it to paper,
you make a contract with yourself
for the things that you want to achieve.
Now when I put it on the wall up here
is going to be public for everyone to see.
So I'm gonna work really hard to make that happen.
Because I've got slight ego, and I want to achieve more.
So remember this, gang, the bigger you think,
the less people operate within that space.
Bigger thinking gives you a distinct advantage.
This will make you think bigger, push yourself.
What you do look like at the end of 10 years in 2030.
Hey bro, you're just so inspirational.
