How can I increase my productivity? Man,
I have asked myself this question many
times through the years. I'm Kris Krohn
with REITV. And today, I'm going to be
sharing with you the number one thing
that you can do to take your
productivity through the roof.
You want to increase your productivity,
you got to learn how to harness your
focus. We have never lived in a greater
shiny object society than the one right
now. We can hardly have emails and videos
keeping our attention longer than a
couple of seconds before our mind is
pulled in some other direction.
Right now, I have got a personal belief that I've
got the ability to have one major focus
in business. Not two, not three, not five,
not twenty. There's a lot of people
that if they had to read ten books, they
would try to read a chapter in each of
the ten books. Not me. I'll get all ten
done, but I'm going to focus on one book
and I'm going to get it off the shelf.
I'm going to do the next book and I'm
going to get it off the shelf. If you
want to increase your productivity look
at how you do focus. Are you dedicating
enough time to that? Now, focus will show
up in two different places in your life
it'll show up in your pocketbook and
also show up in your calendar. So, for
example, if there's a project that you're
getting behind on or you don't feel
productive in then just for a moment
look first at your calendar. How much
time are you dedicating to it? Number two
look at your wallet. If you're not
getting the results that you want have
you paid for adequate mentoring or have
you paid for the adequate team or have
you applied the adequate resources that
focus demands to get the result that you
want in something. Focus is something
that we're missing most of today more
than anything else and I think this next
bonus is really going to help you learn
how to hyper-focus.
So, I'm going to share
with you two of my favorite words that
will be the control valve on whether you
are actually increasing or decreasing
your productivity. This is going to seem
a little counterintuitive but the first
word that I want to share with you is
yes. Y-E, yes. And this is a word that you
need to start using if you want to
create the chaos of abundance. That means
bringing opportunities into your life
most of us are not trying to be
opportunistic so we're skeptical we're
analyzing more processing we're so busy
we don't realize that the most
successful people on the planet are
successful decision-makers. Most people
don't get the you want to make a million
dollars then you need to make hundreds
of daily decisions and most human beings
only making a couple at best we're too
busy paralyzed not paralysis by anlysist
and so yes is what's going to
put opportunities in your way and for
heaven sake's use your sniff test and say
yes to the right things. But then, if you
want to really dial it up and take all
of this chaos and form it into something
that is meaningful, useful, and effective,
if you want your part due to go through
the roof then you're going to need to
come through all of that yes chaos and
use this other favorite word of mine, no.
Yes puts opportunities in front of you
and no is how you put the right
opportunities in front of you but you
need to do them in that order I want you
to know what it's like that our plate
full yes to this opportunity, yes to that
MLM, yes to this real estate deal, yes to
this book,yes to this club. Ah! Man, I feel
out of balance because I've said yes to
so many things but at least you're
exposed to opportunities and now you get
to trial and play with and start
realizing okay I've tried, I've said yes
to so many things and I've so many
opportunities in my awareness that now I
found some of the gold nuggets im gonna play
with it. Now, I'm going to use no, to create my
intentional tunnel vision so that I can
get the power of my focus grooving and
rocking in the direction that I need to go.
You've been hearing these two words
your entire life, "yes" and "no" but use the
right way they become magic. So pick up
your magic wand and start waving your
hand by first creating chaos with yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes and then when you have
enough opportunity in front of you, start
waving that same magic wand to
positively say no, no, no, and keep the
things that are going to get you where
you want to be. Yes and no are all about
managing the magic of the chaos of
abundance and learning how to organize it
