We're married. We're married? Holy (beep).
I am so excited about this video and honestly, the only way that I've been able to stay sane while
managing an eight-figure business, my personal relationships and myself is tattooed on my arm,
yeah. I have this tattoo, a lot of people ask me what it is and it's the five Fs that my grandpa
taught me, my Papa when I was a really little kid and they were instilled into my whole family. And
my grandpa was one of my biggest role models in the world. They stand for faith, family, friends,
finances, and fitness. And you're going to see they're woven into every single day and I do think
they're a key part of living a very balanced life. I didn't want to take just any week, I wanted to
pick the busiest week of my life so I'm going to show you the behind the scenes of my wedding week,
let's get into it. 6:30 AM Monday, my week begins. And every single day during the week starts at the
exact same way. I get up, I take my dog outside and then I come back and I cover off my faith and
my fitness practices. For me that is 20 minutes of TM meditation, and then I do mantras and then
a little journaling or self-reflection. At 7:30 AM I hit the bike or I just do some sort of workout,
whether that's 10 minutes or 45 minutes I know for me I have to move my body to wake up my brain.
First thing I do when it hits 8:00 AM is I look at my clients, and is there anything that they
need? Is there any customized feedback that they're looking for? That is the very first
priority in everything I do every single day, so clients first. The second thing is I then check
in with our finances, the third F. And I make sure that everything is on track by looking at
our metrics that matter in the business. That's looking at our revenue and our profit numbers,
and it's also looking at the key metrics when it comes to our marketing strategies, et cetera.
At 9:05, every Monday morning we have our leadership meeting with our five members of our
team who are on our leadership team. So content, finances, business manager, sales, and enrollment,
and then myself. That's a quick 30-minute check-in meeting. This was the greatest game changer that
I've ever had in my business and the best advice probably that I've ever gotten about efficiency in
your schedule is I have internal days and external days. Mondays and Thursdays are my internal days,
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my external days. What does that mean?
Internal days for me or anything behind the scenes in the business
and it's basically practice. I can do research, I can prep for content or for live trainings or for
whatever projects I have coming up behind the scenes. And then Tuesdays and Wednesdays are
my forward-facing days. This is when I do content creation, I do podcast interviews,
I do anything that is external and outside of the business or that needs my face on camera.
Mondays really are my prep days. I block my calendar, I block my time
throughout the week and anything that needs to be tackled. I make sure that I mark it off in
my calendar so that I actually create the space and time to be able to do it. And the other thing
that I do and I talked about this in my video on how to be insanely productive doing less
is using the three A strategies. That means I look at what I can ax,
meaning get rid of off of my to-do list which generally there's a lot of things
that I can ax that just aren't that important to be doing immediately.
And then I ask for help. I identify everything that needs to be done in that week
and I identify where I can be asking for help and not taking it on myself.
And then I look at anything that can be automated, is there an efficient way to tackle one of these
things without an actual person doing it? Can we automate something somehow? And that helps me in
delegating and creating a ton of space for myself to do only the things that are in my genius zone.
Okay, it is Tuesday right now, Tuesday morning, I woke up actually this morning at 6:00 AM because
obviously the days leading up to the wedding and the wedding is on Friday are a little more full
than normal. And so my biggest priorities right now are to stay present, normalize my routine,
so keep doing the things that I normally would do, not stress over the small stuff and
keep myself healthy by eating and drinking the way that I normally would.
The rest of Tuesday looked pretty much exactly the same as it always would. I did all my
external activities that needed to be done for that week, whether that was content creation
and meetings with people outside of our company, and then I blocked out the time to work on the
business stuff as well as blocking out the time to work on the personal stuff. I moved into my
final dress fitting which was really exciting. I asked my mom for help. She came with me,
picked up the dress, took it home to my parents' house so that it wouldn't be in our apartment.
And then we also got legally married that night because our friend married us at our
wedding and he wasn't officially an officiant so we had to legally do a ceremony in our kitchen.
To be my lawfully wedded husband. To be my lawfully wedded husband. Wednesday
morning rolls around and you'll notice that I slept in until 8:00 AM. And this is a pretty
common occurrence for me because I don't manage my time really anymore I manage my energy, and I
notice that on Mondays and Tuesdays they're very intense days generally for me. So Wednesdays I try
to give myself a breather and listen to my body and I sleep in a little bit later on those days.
I woke up at 8:00, still got a mini version of my morning routine done, and then I dove
into one-on-ones with my team from 9:00 AM all the way up until noon. From noon onwards I had
a client call with our authority accelerator clients which we do every single Wednesday,
and that pretty much consumed my entire Wednesday with all sort of external
happenings and things that needed to be done. We're two days from the wedding, we have an
amazing company that we use for cleaning our apartment because we have people coming here on
Friday during day. The male members of my family are all coming here to get ready with
Nav, so I wanted to make sure it was clean and I'm like, "I don't have time
for that," so I delegated that. And then my amazing planner who's a wonderful human,
she just sent me over the timeline for the whole day on Friday. So again, I don't have to waste
my brain space or have decision fatigue and I can just rely on her to do that work for me and I know
where I need to be and when I need to be there. Because today was so full it was really important
for me to compartmentalize. When it was wedding stuff I was focused on wedding
stuff and when it was work stuff I was focused on work stuff, no phone, no distractions, no nothing,
and that honestly goes for everything in my life. And because again it was
such a full day I'm treating myself tonight. Thursday at 6:00 AM woke up as usual, you're
probably getting the gist to this, every morning starts the same. So I do my usual morning routine
and then I dove into our leadership meeting at 10:00 AM. I did a workout, I was starting to feel
the nerves and the excitement. And I often will do this, I will move around my workouts if necessary
and that's the cool about block timing. On your calendar I made a whole other video that about
this and I'll link to it below. But when you block out all the things that you need to tackle in
a day, in a week, then you can just move them around and be flexible with them if necessary
but at least you know what needs to be done. So I moved my workout that day to 10:00 AM,
got their nerves out, got to get sweat in, and then from there at 12:00 PM I packed all my bags
and headed over to the hotel. It's the little living room area, all by myself and my mom's going
to come stay with me tonight. When 4:00 PM rolled around it was time to do a quick rehearsal with
our friends and our family prior to the wedding the next day, that's really when it started
to sink in. And honestly on a weekly basis my Thursdays and Fridays are really when I go out
of sort of work mode and I get into my personal relationships and really make those a priority.
I did that, I make sure everything was taken care of as far as the business so I could truly check
out. I completely took everything off of my phone, Slack, social media, email, all the things so I
could truly be present for the biggest day of my life. And the next morning I woke up at 7:00 AM,
I was so excited, but also overwhelmingly calm. It's wedding day. I slept really well,
I feel ready for the day. It is raining, it's pissing rain.
And all I can think of is Alanis Morissette. (singing). This is what came up in my mantra book.
When I opened it I always opened to a random page and I trusted that everything is going to work out
perfectly. I really do and I'm beyond excited. And now it's time to go and deal with this
mop of mine. 10:30, as I said, tackled my mop and did my hair and that brought me
right up to 1:00 PM where I did my makeup. As of 3:00 PM it was time to actually get dressed
and put on my dress with my mom there with me. It's dress time.
Thanks mom. You're rocking baby girl. That's it.
Till when you say. How do you feel honey?
I feel ready to go. Cool.
That brings us to 4:15 on Friday, October 9th, which is when we got married. And I was so present
and so relaxed because I treated that week like I do every single week, which is, I truly believe
if you can prepare and you can set aside time to really focus on what needs to be
done instead of being reactive to your calendar and what other people need from you, it makes a
world of difference. And for me the most important thing on my wedding day and that week
was to remember that this is truly never going to happen again, fingers crossed, knock on wood,
and I want to be here for it. I want to be present in the moment for it and I can honestly
say that I was. We're married. We're married? Holy (beep).
My husband, got to love him. That's a week in my life. Honestly did not look that different than
a normal week outside of wearing a white dress but that's how I stay balanced. It wouldn't be
the case if I didn't stay true to the five Fs, faith, family, friends, finance, and fitness.
Those are my pillars, they keep me grounded, they keep me saying no matter what is going on and I
hope that you can take that from this. Are you with me? Watch how I made 40K on my wedding day
next and then learn how to be insanely productive doing less. I'll see you in the next one.
