imagine a version of you that gives his
all every single day who doesn't gives
in to procrastination wastes no time and
pursuit of pleasure and gets better at
10 times the rate of his competitors how
would your life change if each and every
day you performed up to your full
potential what would be different 6
months 3 years and 5 years down the road
if each day you were at your best in
this video I am going to show you the
exact step-by-step way to get ahead of
99% I'll give you the Playbook to
achieve the results in just 3 months
that others achieve in 12 12 months or
more I will also show you how to avoid
getting too comfortable and losing your
drive be ready because today I will
unwrap the secrets of top performers in
a way that allows you to align your
thinking and your actions to produce
staggering results there's a study that
reveals Financial industries make almost
40% of their yearly sales at the end of
the year in November and December during
this time companies often see their
revenue increase by four-fold this
increase is often attributed to the
company's employees during this period
employees experience experence a time of
high productivity and Effectiveness
noticing a five-fold increase in their
ability to get things done activity is
up and people are busy doing they
procrastinate less and stay focused on
getting business in and completing
important tasks but what's that magical
thing about the year end that pushes
people to call on their very best why do
people behave differently in November
and December than they do in July and
August well the end of the year is like
a checkpoint where we assess our
progress throughout the whole year
during this period people have almost no
time to procrastinate make excuses and
avoid doing meaningful tasks so they
dive into action they feel a strong
surge to cross the finish line Before
Time runs out it's the deadline that
creates the urgency year end is an
exciting and productive time but the
problem is that this urgency exists for
just a handful of weeks wouldn't it be
great if you could create that energy
focus and commitment every week
throughout the year well you can and
it's an uncomplicated and Powerful
technique that you can start using from
this moment to increase your
productivity by 10x when we we act with
a yearly goal in mind we become soft and
fluffy we mistakenly believe that there
is a lot of time left in the year and we
act accordingly we lack a sense of
urgency not realizing that every week is
important every day is important every
moment is important forget about setting
yearly goals let's redefine a year a
year is no longer 12 months it is now
only 12 weeks think about the
implications of a 12we year the
excitement energy and focus that happen
every December now happen continuously
because there's nothing like a deadline
to get you motivated the great thing
about having a 12we year is that the
deadline is always near enough that you
never lose sight of it it provides a
Time Horizon that is long enough to get
things done yet short enough to create a
sense of urgency and a bias for action
it's human nature that we behave
differently when a deadline approaches
we procrastinate less we reduce or
eliminate avoidance activity and we
focus more on the things that matter
success is difficult it's a journey of
constant battle with obstacles and
roadblocks but most often with oneself
if it requires some really difficult
sacrifices and the number one thing you
have to sacrifice to be great is your
comfort there'll be countless days when
you just won't feel like taking action
on your plan to help you stay on track
you will need a powerful reason why and
that's your vision it is your personal
Vision that keeps you in the game when
things become difficult some people
especially type A people think that
vision is fluff those who think about
Vision this way tend to LEAP past the
question of purpose and dive into action
the problem is that when the going gets
ult it is harder to stay committed to
the work in the long run because there
is no compelling reason no persuasive
why I'm guessing you already have a
vision in your mind if you do this part
will show you how to strengthen your
vision so any comfort against it will
lose its grip and if you don't you can
create it from here now the first rule
of creating a vision is to dream
big big enough that it makes you
uncomfortable a small Vision doesn't
call on our best efforts we don't have
to reach and we don't sacrifice our
comfort a small Vision might be
achievable but we leave our best
undelivered now really don't overthink
the process in time the vision you have
will keep expanding so anything we do to
start now let's get a little tactical
based on your long-term Vision what do
you want to create over the next 3 years
describe in as much detail as possible
what a great life would look like 3
years from today the more specific you
are at this stage the easier it will be
to follow the next step where I'll show
you how to achieve the bigger Visions
you have and achieve this 10 times
faster than others but before to get the
most out of this at the end of each day
take a few minutes to reflect on the
progress that you today did it move you
forward or was it filled with activity
that wasn't related to your vision
resolve to be intentional in your
actions to make progress on your vision
once you have that Vision now it's time
to plan how to reach your goal hear me
out I know you're going to think this is
BS because most people have a bias of
action and they don't realize the
powerful tool they're missing out on
while an action bias can be a good thing
because the physical universe will not
respond to your desires no matter how
passionate or intense they are the one
thing that moves the universe is action
and it is the consistent action that
turns a dream into reality but it can
also get in the way of effective
execution most people also think that
they know what to do so they don't need
any plans but that's simply not true
there is almost always a gap between
what people know and what they do for
example many people want to get into
better physical shape and virtually all
of them know that it takes a healthy
diet and exercise but sadly most people
don't ever become more fit that's
because simply knowing what to do just
isn't enough the world is knowing C the
unexpected happens distractions arise
our innate desire for Comfort tugs at us
and we lose focus on the things that we
know we should do an effective plan
takes time to create and it requires
some hard work but by taking time to
plan upfront you separate yourself from
the mediocre and set yourself up for
Domination the plan defines the actions
that you will need to take each week of
the 12 to reach your goal it's really
nothing more than that if a plan doesn't
help you execute better it's not a good
plan remember your 3-year Vision the
12we plan is just a derivative of it
which I'll explain later the number one
thing that stops people from getting
better is their lack of clarity we see
plans all the time that are missing
steps lump complicated timec consuming
processes into a single tactic and have
actions out of sequence it goes like I
will work every day from today to reach
my goals a good plan starts with a good
goal So based on your three-year goal
what do you want to achieve in 12 weeks
the more specific and measurable your
12we goals the easier it will be to
write a solid 12we plan actions make all
the difference in a plan for each of
your goals Define the highest priority
daily and weekly actions that you must
take to reach that goal in order to do
this it might be helpful to brainstorm
on a separate sheet of paper all the
things you could do and then select the
wanes that will have the greatest impact
break down your 12we goals into as clear
actions as you possibly could for
example your three-year goal might be
getting in shape based on this your 12we
goal might be to lose some fat now break
that 12we goal into we weekly actions
that could be exercising for 5 hours per
week then break it down into daily
actions which is to exercise for 45
minutes every day make sure to always
make them specific and measurable so
that you're clear about what you'll do
and when you'll do it once you've
created your weekly plan you will want
to use it daily to keep you on track
with the activities that are most
important to achieving your goals check
in with your weekly plan first thing
each morning once or twice throughout
the day and before you go home when you
learn to guide your daily activity based
on your weekly plan you will begin to
experience truly breakthrough
performance planning can be quite
difficult for someone attempting to do
it for the first time sometimes it can
take hours or even days to craft a good
plan so to save you hours of trial and
error I've created an easy and effective
planning template that you can access
from the description it's yours for free
ever wondered why sports are so
motivating in fact not only are they
motivating to the players but also to
Spectators can you imagine people fans
coming to watch you work paying for the
privilege to see you in action one of
the key reasons sports are so
stimulating is that we keep score but
not only measuring results is motivating
it provides a feedback loop that is
essential if you want to improve and
improve 10 times faster than others the
more you track your progress and
activity the more chance you have of
improving you've probably seen people
who are stuck in their position for
years and can't move any further whether
it's in sports where the athlete can't
seem to break through to the next level
or in business where someone struggles
to increase their earnings Beyond 10K a
month they think there's something wrong
with them when in reality they just
don't take the necessary feedback to
improve the more you track the quickly
you can identify areas for improvement
and you can get better at a faster rate
without measurement there is no way for
you to know if you are making progress
without measurement there is no way for
you to know what adjustments would be
productive there are two types of
measurements lead and lag lead
indicators are the actions you take each
day to reach your goals lag indicators
are the results you get at the end such
as income sales and pounds lost while
you have to look at both to make
adjustments I recommend focusing
wholeheartedly on the lead indicator it
is critical that you measure execution
the easiest but most effective way to
measure is to go to your 12we plan and
look at how many actions you have
completed so if you've completed seven
actions out of 10 that week you have
completed almost 70% of the weekly task
do not focus on Perfection focus on
getting better if you execute a minimum
of 85% of the actions due in your weekly
plan each week you are very likely to
hit your goals at the end of the 12
weeks if you scored low sit down and
focus on how you can get 5% better next
week not how you can complete 100% of
the task because Perfection is a myth
once you have that ultimate Vision the
most efficient plan to get there and a
system for getting better and not
stopping like I showed you you're going
to smoke your
