- So what can you do
to eliminate some of these time vampires from your life?
Let me give you guys example,
do you have all of your notifications turned on?
Now you know, is that good idea, bad idea?
- [Audience] Bad idea. - Bad idea.
Bad idea, get that off.
Stop doing that cocaine, man.
I'm serious, how many times you check your email everyday?
How many times you check your emails everyday?
Yell the answer, how many times?
Be honest, it's time to be honest.
Man, come clean.
Hmm?
- [Audience Member] Maybe twice.
- Twice, good, very nice.
How many times? How many times?
[Audience Member] Ten times.
- Ten times?
(audience member murmuring)
Fifteen times?
- [Audience Member] It's my background screen.
- Huh? (laughing)
It's your background screen?
Oh my god, that's an email addict right there.
It's like every email, I'm gonna miss my email.
That's my email, okay? Too many times.
Let me ask you a question, do you go check your mailbox
ten times a day?
- [Audience Member] No.
- Then why would you check your email ten times a day?
It's the same.
You don't go to your mailbox and check it ten times a day,
then why'd you check your email ten times a day?
Cause it's easy, it's convenient.
How many times you check your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
all the social medias every day?
(audience murmering)
Yeah, too many hours.
That's the right answer.
But then, we want to promote.
We want to utilize social media, right?
We wanna get our brands out there, we want to promote.
Here's the thing, I know so many people who are
spend a lot of time, probably three, four hours a day
on social media, and they have no clue how to monetize it.
They never sit back and say,
"What's the payoff of this activity?
I spend three hours on this every day,
I've been doing this for two years,
I'm making less that ten thousand a year."
Something is wrong with this picture.
They never question.
They do it cause everybody expects them to do it.
They do it because that's what they think they should do.
Instead of "What am I-- Is this even working?
Is, I mean, is this getting me results?
Is this getting me clients?"
That's all I'm saying, just question that.
If it is, do more.
If it isn't, then do less.
It's very simple. It's very, very simple.
So grow up!
Try to find something important enough to do
that you're unwilling to be so easily and frequently
interrupted and distracted.
If you're spending three hours on social media
and it's not getting you results,
look at the truth, something is not working.
Maybe your backing is not working,
maybe your business model is not working.
Something is not working, versus just do it.
I'm not saying don't do it,
I'm just saying ask why are you doing it.
Does that make sense?
Just question it.
That's my job, help you to question stuff.
