Hey everyone this is Stefan from ProjectLifeMastery.com and in this video
I'm going to share with you guys the most important productivity strategy that has
transformed my level of achievement, that's allowed me to make the biggest
quantum leap in achieving the big goals, the big results that I'm after. What
that strategy is called your vital 3, your vital 3. Your vital 3 are
essentially the 3 most important highest leverage actions that you should
be taking that will lead you to the result or the goal that you're after.
Now with any goal that you set for yourself whether it's business, health and fitness,
relationship, any goal that you have, understand there's always so many things
you could be doing, right. There's so many actions, there's so many strategies,
there's so many rituals and routines and books you should be reading. There are so many actions
that can allow you to make progress and achieve that goal however by focusing
on everything that's not the most efficient way that I've learned in order
to achieve a goal. The 80 20 principle states that 20% of your
actions are going to lead to 80% of the results. Your vital 3 is is
essentially you just focusing on, with whatever goal that you have, the 3 most
important things. You've got to identify and focus every day on those 3 most
important things that will allow you to achieve your goal.
Everything else outside of that vital 3, they might be important, they might
be still things that you can do but they're not as important and they
always much lower priority for you. For myself, I'll give you an example of my
business I've been able to identify, there's 3 primary things that I need
to be able to focus on every day in my business that's going to bring to the
biggest results and rewards in my business, the growth, everything else.
Everything else that is involved in my business I try to free myself of. I try
to hire other people,
outsource, automate it in some way so that I can free up more of my time and and
my mental energy to focus on my vital 3. My vital 3 are number 1,
creating content, high quality content. That's one thing that brings me
the biggest rewards in my business,
it allows me to reach thousands of people just like you watching this video right
now. It allows me to add value. It allows me to improve myself as a speaker, as a
communicator. I learn a lot in the process as well. I get a lot from sharing
because it helps reinforce certain things in my life also. Creating content can be
creating videos, it could be creating audio, doing podcasts, it could be writing articles, it
could be creating online training programs, it could be doing
interviews with people and things of that nature.
Creating content, that's one of the most important things that I try to focus
on as much as possible. I don't edit my videos myself, I get someone else to
do that for me. I don't put my videos in the blog post, I don't transcribe them, I have other
people that do those things for me now so I can focus on just that one thing
of creating the content because I want to free myself up as much as possible to create
that content. I have the systems in place for people to take care of
everything else. Now the second thing that's part of my vital 3 is
creating new systems and working with training and managing my team okay. I
have an awesome team of people, I already mentioned a few, my video editor, I've got
someone that turns my videos into a podcast, we put them up on our iTunes
podcast. I have someone who transcribes the videos and puts the blog post together and
everything. I've got a great customer support team, I've got graphic designers,
web designer, programmers. I've got Pay per Click, advertise manager, I've
affiliate manager, I have a really amazing team, virtual assistants to help me grow my business.
One of the rules that's very high leverage for me is working with my
team, overseeing my team, there's a lot of back and forth that I have. If
I'm getting a new website done or graphics done I go back and forth. I'm
always learning and sharing with my team, helping them improve their
systems and optimize themselves to be more productive so we can grow the
By doing that, by focusing on just helping my team do their job I'm
able to grow even faster because I'm not a one man show, I have all these people
and all these systems in place that are helping me grow
much much faster and they're also freeing up my time so I don't have to do all those
other things that I used to be doing when I was starting out. It's allowing
me to focus on the things that matter the most.
Managing my team, creating systems is a very important thing. That's one
thing that eventually I won't be doing because eventually I'm going to have a COO
and somebody who can manage the team. I already have one person who helps
manage my teams already but the more that I can free myself up that's just going to
give me more time to focus on the content and adding as much value as
possible to creating high quality content. The third thing, the third thing
part of my vital 3 is learning, improving myself and
implementing new strategies in my business
okay. I believe as an entrepreneur one of the highest, one of the most
important things you should be doing is always learning, always upgrading you,
always improving yourself. One thing that Jim Rowens says is that if you
want to change or if you want things to change you have to change. If you change
everything will change for you. You should always work harder on yourself than you
do on your job or your business. I'm always working on myself. I'm always
reading books, I'm always going to training programs, working with coaches, going
through different seminars and products and things of that nature so I can
improve. Guess what, the more things that I learn and grow that's more
content I can share with my videos and articles and products and courses, there's
more information I can share with my team and help create different systems
and implement what we're learning into my business. It allows me to
scale up and do the first two things that much better so learning and
implementing strategies, very high leverage thing. That's my vital 3 in my
business. With my body and my fitness my vital 3 is working out every day,
every day it's a must whether it's doing cardio, doing something with weights.
Eating well, following a certain diet plan and just eating well to
support my body, my body's growth, my body's recovery. The third thing
is developing my mindset, making sure that I'm motivated, that I have the right belief
systems, that I'm consuming information related to fitness and health that will
allow me to achieve my goals even better. Developing my mindset, very, very
important. My point is in any area of your life there's a vital 3. You've
got to identify what those 3 things are that are the most important things that
only you can do, that you're the best at that you need to focus on and master.
Don't try to do everything by yourself, try to outsource, try to find people. Now
when you're first starting out you are going to have to do most things on your
own but you want to find a way to outsource as quickly as possible.
Reinvest some of that profit back into your business to hire people, to automate, find
the softwares, everything you need to automate the system so you can
focus more on those 3 most important things that are going to take you to the
next level and continue allowing you to grow in your business or any other area of
your life.
I really want to encourage you guys to identify what your vital 3
are. If you want to leave a comment below this video share what your vital
3 are in your business or any area of your life. I'd love to hear what they
are. Whatever those are try to do those as much as possible first thing in
the day. Emails, social media, Facebook, all those things can wait. All those things
are often distractions of the most important things that you should be doing in
your business or in your life that will allow you to achieve your goal. You
always want to do those things as early as possible in the day when you have the
most willpower, when you have the most energy because if you leave it to the
end then you're going to be tired, you're not going to have as much willpower, you're going to make
excuses and you're not going to be likely to do those vital 3 and make the progress
that you want. I try to do them as early as possible and focus the majority
of my time on those things and eliminate everything else whether that's cooking
meals, cleaning my apartment, any of that stuff I try to eliminate that so I can
spend more of my time doing my vital 3. That's my little productivity
tip and strategy for you guys today. It's really made a big difference in my productivity.
