- How do you get shit done?
I probably get more done in a day than most
will also get done in a month.
You are asking me all the time,
"Well Dan, how do you get so much done?"
"Oh, I don't have time, Dan."
Well, the question is, it has nothing to do with the time.
You and I have the same amount of time as Bill Gates,
Warren Buffet, Jack Ma,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
What's the difference?
The question you should be asking yourself is,
"How can I denote my time to something important?
How can I denote my time to something that will move me
closer to my goals?"
And that's what you want to focus on.
Because anything that you do, you have so much tasks.
I have so much to do, every single fucking day.
But what do you focus on?
Ask yourself, "Is this moving me closer to my goal?
Is this moving closer to what I want?
Is it going to make me money?
Is it going to benefit my family?
Is it going to make me richer?
Is it going to make me happier?"
Sometimes I believe laziness, or busyness,
is a form of laziness.
People get so busy, they are like,
"Oh, I am so fucking busy. I am doing so many things."
But are you producing results?
Are you actually producing results?
That's the most important thing.
That's what I'm talking about.
You have to make that choice.
Rich people, we are busy too.
The question is, I'm constantly focusing,
and consciously focusing on things,
that I cannot delegate, that are worthy of my time.
So let me give you like three simple tips.
Number one is, you want to be absolutely
ruthless about your outcome.
Absolutely ruthless about your outcome.
Because, when you are thinking about it,
most of you get a lot of stuff, a lot of tasks,
but they don't know, why the fuck are you even doing it
in the first place?
What is this going to produce?
How is it going to affect my life?
You want to be absolutely clear about the outcome.
Because sometimes, you know this,
if you are clear about your outcome,
the way you get there might change.
The way the task that you have to do might change.
Or you might think of ways to do more effectively,
more efficiently.
So be absolutely ruthless about the outcome that you want.

You try to increase your revenue.
Maybe you're thinking, "Oh I need to get more customers."
But maybe that's not the fastest way to get there.
Maybe if you are clear, I want to increase my revenue,
maybe the fastest way is
to sell more to my existing customers.
Or to increase my price.
Whatever it is that will get you there faster.
That's one thing.
And the second thing, I believe, is,
you want to think about six things.
Six items that I want to accomplish every single day.
Six important things.
Not 10, not 20, now for you watching this,
maybe you start with one or two.
Because most people don't even get one fucking
important thing get done in a month.
So six important things, big major important items,
every single day.
I plan it the night before.
So today, I've six items I want to cross off my list.
So think about it.
Six items, six important items times five.
Assuming you work five days a week.
That's 120 important things every single month,
accomplished, that will move you closer to your goal.
Third tier is, don't keep everything in your head.
Don't keep everything in your head,
because when your mind is cluttered, you have no clarity.
And without clarity, you don't have the ability to act.
Because clarity is power,
and power is the ability to take action.
So what you want to do is, you want to get clarity.
Pen and paper.
Write everything out.
Don't just keep it in your head.
Write everything out.
And then, if you want to use some kind of application,
from your smart phone, that's perfectly fine.
I like paper and pen, that's easiest.
So don't keep everything in your head.
And more importantly, you have heard of the saying.
How do you eat an elephant?
How do people eat a big elephant?
One bite at a time.
That is fucking wrong.
Here's what you want to do.
Bite off more than you can chew,
and then you chew like crazy.
You got this?
Now get the fuck out of here.
I gotta get changed.
