have you ever felt that there's just not
enough time in a day to get done what
you need to get done and you always
under a lot of pressure right and you
feel stressed out because when you
finish something and then this always
more and more things paddling up and
you're just playing catch-up you're
trying to catch your breath like oh my
god you know when when it is gonna end
and you're like totally stress out you
see with myself with our organization
with running a group of companies
there's always more problems right there
always another project and lot
initiatives a lot of projects going on
or simultaneously when I'm running a
group of companies it's just the way
that it is so one of the my students
where it was asking me this question so
you know Dan how do you handle stress
right how do you not get all stressed
out when you're under pressure now I do
from time to time get stressed out I'm
human being as well but there are some
things that I do that could help me
manage some of these things and how do
you also still be able to perform and
function and a high level even when
you're under a lot of pressure so today
I want to give you some tips on that
would that be helpful to you comment
below so first of all is don't be a
perfectionist you see a lot of times
when we try to make everything perfect
we want everything to line up perfectly
so that we won't make a mistake the
problem is when you are focusing to be
that perfectionist right when you're
focusing on everything has to be perfect
that usually not just usually almost
always that slows down your progress
right if we can try to make it perfect
and chances are it's not gonna be
perfect anyway we are chasing something
that almost doesn't exist because in
business whatever you do when you put it
on the marketplace any project and in
this [ __ ] initiative that you have
chances are you have the pivot you have
the tweak right I have never seen a
business plan that fails on paper right
on paper it sounds good
a plan sounds going on on a piece of
paper but when you execute it they're
all waste tweaks in fact sometimes you
got a sheet cannon you guys say you know
what I thought this will work and now
that it doesn't work
having that flexibility to be able to
pivot in terms of behaviors and mindset
it's very critical so value progress /
perfection you don't have to get it
right you just have to get it going as
long as we are moving forward as long as
we a little bit closer to our goals I am
okay with making some mistakes I'm okay
with not getting it perfect number to
script your day imagine you are a
performer you are performing in front of
a large group of people and a theatre
right what do you do do you just go out
there and perform and say whatever you
want say whatever you feel like it dens
whatever you feel like it know
everything that you do the entire
performance is rehearsed and most
importantly scripted so not just
scheduling your day I'm talking about
scripting your day there's a difference
scheduling your day sometimes it could
be other people they want your time
right if you look at your calendar right
now do you have a lot of other people's
agendas on your calendars there are
simply distractions or that you feel
it's an obligation then you have to
attend to some of these meetings and
things like that all this phone call
right versus scripting your day meaning
that you are a performer right that
you're running your business you're
pursuing your career this is the outcome
that you want just like a performance at
the end of the day we want to entertain
the audience we want them to the enjoyed
experience that give us you know
standing ovations that is the outcome
that we want how do we script that so
that it happens so scripting is you
block out every single thing that you're
gonna do throughout the day you scrip it
your lunch you scrip it right your
exercise time you put it in and you
scrip it you block it out so the other
people cannot put their whatever agendas
onto your calendar you protect your time
in fact you protect your time more so
and you protect your money because
that's your most valuable asset you have
to treat it like so if you think you do
you have to ask yourself the question we
turn on time invested our oti what is my
return if I invest this amount of time
talking to this person meeting with this
person handling this email where this
versus being all distracted so script
your day number three when you are
feeling the stress and recently I just
taught this to my wife Jenny and I
thought Jenny would know this more than
anybody else but turns out she doesn't
and it's been very useful for her so
she's working on a pretty project for me
and she had a lot of things in her mind
she felt little overwhelmed a little bit
under pressure because there's a
deadline and I said to her instead of
keeping everything in your head why
don't we write everything out oh my god
it's overwhelming right and it's like no
no let's sit down together we spend
about 45 minutes and she wrote
everything out right let's pile is and
so and then I how about to categorize
okay these things would go here these
things would go here this would this we
have our 30-day deadline this actually
we have a 60-day deadline you have lived
in more time with with these tasks and
when she does that
suddenly she feels relieved so in your
mind you may be thinking you've got a
hundred things to do but when you lay
all out and you might think well
actually I have a hundred things but
actually no I don't only have twenty
things to do and out of those twenty
things I only need to do these two
things this week and this month I need
to accomplish these ten things so then
you're now less overwhelmed when you lay
out don't keep it in your head write it
out and there may be some things where
you know what I don't even need to do
this I can just cross it out delete it
and this one maybe maybe I can do it
much much later it's not very critical
to the success of this project this is
making sense right so right everything
else don't keep it in your head and the
last tip I have for you is focus on your
strengths not your weaknesses you see a
lot of people they get stressed out
because they spend a lot of the time
outside their zone of genius the zone of
brilliance you and I we are good at a
few things most of us we when we're not
born we are not great at everything
right and one whenever we try to operate
outside of so about solar genius I was
in love
Millions it's very easy to get stressed
out because now we're doing things that
we don't enjoy that we don't like but
then we kind of have to do with
obligated to do those things and then it
drives us crazy and then we get burnout
very says hey you know what I love this
this is my zone of brilliance and this
is what I'm good at you want to spend a
majority of your time in your zone
genius and then you want to delegate a
rest
now I know what you're thinking you're
thinking then I'm just getting started I
can't afford it
let me give you a different perspective
you will never be able to afford it if
you don't first operate from here right
you need to delegate those smaller tasks
have other people because your
weaknesses could be other people's
strengths what you're not good at let's
say you're not do with accounting the
bookkeeping when you're delegating
outsource dos that frees up your time
and your mental bandwidth so now you're
less stressed out you can focus on high
income producing activities high-value
activities that brings in more money
that you could pay for those service
providers that's how it should work you
shouldn't try to do air free thing
yourself
the very fact that you're trying to do
everything yourself and you spend a lot
of time on your weaknesses that's what's
holding you back from going to the next
level right you with me so don't do that
focus on your strengths and then
outsource and delegate your weaknesses
so next time when you are feeling the
stressed when you're under a lot of
pressure which of these tips and
strategies you're gonna implement and
