WEBVTT - Take Back Your 5-9 and Control Your Time 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.160 Welcome to business and the podcast for people making it 0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:07.320 all happen. Running a successful business completely takes over your life, 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.120 but I'm a believer that there is still room for 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:14.560 some ands like health, wealth, beauty, and maybe even some fashion. 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:16.960 On this podcast, I'll share with you what's working for 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.840 scaling my nine figure business while keeping you up to 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.040 date on the latest trends, news and fun finds. This 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.960 is a place for business and let's dive in! 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.560 You can change your whole life in just six months 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.720 by taking back your 5 to 9. These are the 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.440 five steps that I took to take back my time 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.879 working a $50,000 a year job that I hated to 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.599 making millions of dollars working for myself if I had 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.320 to do this all over again. This is exactly how 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.960 I would use my 5 to 9. The first step 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.800 is to sacrifice your comfort for six months to build 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.279 your future. Most people fail because they don't make the 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:56.200 sacrifices necessary to reach their goals. Because let's be real, 0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:00.040 sacrifices are not sexy. It sounds sexy when someone's saying 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.180 sacrifice for your dreams. But when you actually have to 0:01:03.180 --> 0:01:06.660 make sacrifices, it sucks because the sacrifices sound like not 0:01:06.660 --> 0:01:08.780 spending time with people you love, not having the free 0:01:08.819 --> 0:01:12.060 time that you want to have, doing things that are hard. Mentally. 0:01:12.060 --> 0:01:14.899 Staying in the game can be so challenging. The way 0:01:14.900 --> 0:01:16.940 that your life is today is built off of what 0:01:16.940 --> 0:01:19.460 you want to do, and the results that you have 0:01:19.459 --> 0:01:21.819 are directly tied to the way that you spend your time. 0:01:21.860 --> 0:01:25.539 The only way to make sacrifices sexy is to tie 0:01:25.540 --> 0:01:29.420 your sacrifices to who you want to be, where you 0:01:29.420 --> 0:01:32.380 want to go, and what this future state of your 0:01:32.380 --> 0:01:35.459 life actually looks like. I can't tell you how much 0:01:35.459 --> 0:01:38.460 hate I get online from people saying, I don't know 0:01:38.459 --> 0:01:41.660 what I'm talking about. I only have business acumen because 0:01:41.660 --> 0:01:44.860 of the man I married. I'm just some blonde dumb 0:01:44.900 --> 0:01:47.660 gold digger. Super cool. They could say that about me 0:01:47.660 --> 0:01:50.260 ten years ago, and I might feel some sort of 0:01:50.260 --> 0:01:52.700 way about that. I might feel a little bit down 0:01:52.700 --> 0:01:57.660 about myself and then honestly think, why make sacrifices if 0:01:57.660 --> 0:01:59.419 I'm not going to get the life that I want 0:01:59.420 --> 0:02:03.040 to have? This is the worst way to think about 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:04.800 what you have to do in order to create the 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.440 life that you want. Do not fall into this trap, 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.520 because the coolest thing about making sacrifices is only you. 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.639 Get to know the sacrifices that you made. And the 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.360 bigger the sacrifices are, the better you are going to 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.600 feel about yourself when you get to where you're trying 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.520 to go because you know it wasn't luck. The worst 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.000 thing that can happen to somebody is they just get lucky. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.640 They stumble into success. They fall into it. When you 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.200 actually take the time to say, I'm going to dedicate 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.040 myself from 5 to 9, from when I'm off work 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.239 until the time I go to bed, to becoming this 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.080 next version of myself. And as you do this for 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.800 six months and you make those sacrifices, no one can 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.720 take that away from you. No one can ever throw 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.080 stones at you, and you are going to be completely 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.480 unbothered by anything people say. Why? Because you know what? 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.080 It took this sacrificial phase in the process of you 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.840 becoming successful is the power. So lean into it and 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.680 in your brain, rewire it. Make it so that you 0:03:02.780 --> 0:03:05.540 think sacrifices are sexy because the result at the end 0:03:05.580 --> 0:03:07.940 is super sexy. But it's not sexy just to get 0:03:07.940 --> 0:03:10.260 there because you happen to get lucky. No, you got 0:03:10.260 --> 0:03:12.980 there because you made sacrifices and you can be proud 0:03:12.980 --> 0:03:15.580 and stand tall next to those sacrifices. And this is 0:03:15.580 --> 0:03:18.220 the intense balls to the wall phase. You got to 0:03:18.220 --> 0:03:20.540 be real honest with your family, real honest with your 0:03:20.540 --> 0:03:23.020 friends about how your time and commitments are going to 0:03:23.020 --> 0:03:25.740 look over the next six months. It's going to be different. 0:03:25.740 --> 0:03:28.740 That is okay if they don't support you. See you later. Bye. 0:03:28.740 --> 0:03:30.660 They were never really your friends to begin with, but 0:03:30.660 --> 0:03:32.380 when you let people know around you that you're going 0:03:32.380 --> 0:03:35.540 into the sacrifice phase, you're removing the excuse that the 0:03:35.540 --> 0:03:37.380 people in your life are going to be. The thing 0:03:37.380 --> 0:03:40.300 that holds you back. Next is number two, which is 0:03:40.300 --> 0:03:44.220 to really think about where you're spending your time. I'm 0:03:44.220 --> 0:03:47.060 challenging you to map out every minute of your day 0:03:47.260 --> 0:03:51.100 for the next six months. There's nothing more important than 0:03:51.100 --> 0:03:54.300 mapping out your day, especially the time that you have 0:03:54.340 --> 0:03:58.380 between 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, which is the before 0:03:58.420 --> 0:04:01.260 and after your current 9 to 5 job. Now, some 0:04:01.260 --> 0:04:02.820 people think I don't have enough time to work on 0:04:02.820 --> 0:04:05.080 my goals. That is a lot of freaking time. Now 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.119 I want to make something really clear here. I'm not 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.640 recommending that you build your next thing during your 9 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.160 to 5. You should not be building your next thing 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.440 during the time that you are currently in what you 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.799 are doing right now. If somebody is paying you a paycheck, 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.279 do not screw that person over. Do not start spending 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.479 the majority of your time creating this other thing. Why 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.039 you are always going to think and feel shitty about 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.920 the fact that somebody else is doing that to you, 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.000 especially if you're wanting to become a business owner. If 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.640 you become a business owner and you build that business 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.440 on the back of somebody else paying you and you 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.120 didn't do a good job with them, you are always 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:36.719 going to think that your team members are doing that 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.000 to you. They're going to be trust issues. Don't do it. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.760 It is the wrong way to exit. You can work 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.240 full time, 9 to 5 for somebody else, earn a 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.080 paycheck for doing that work while still being able to 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.280 build the next thing that you want to go after 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.400 and you want to do. And you use the time 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.160 after work, not during work, after work, to go build 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:57.880 that thing. That is the right way to do that. 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.080 But the time that you have after work from 5:00 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.460 pm to 9:00 pm is a vital. It is important. 0:05:05.460 --> 0:05:08.339 That is like the gold treasure time that you have, 0:05:08.380 --> 0:05:12.300 and every single minute of that time should be planned out. 0:05:12.339 --> 0:05:14.500 2 to 3 hours of your 5 to 9 every 0:05:14.500 --> 0:05:19.179 single day should go towards study and application. These things 0:05:19.180 --> 0:05:22.300 go together. You can't just study something for six months 0:05:22.300 --> 0:05:24.100 and assume that you're gonna become great at it. I 0:05:24.100 --> 0:05:29.700 one time took this approach. For years I studied public speaking, 0:05:29.700 --> 0:05:32.020 and the study made me think that I was making 0:05:32.020 --> 0:05:34.420 progress towards public speaking. Let me just tell you something. 0:05:34.420 --> 0:05:36.860 You can read every freaking book, you can watch every 0:05:36.860 --> 0:05:39.420 YouTube video, you can talk with other public speakers and 0:05:39.420 --> 0:05:42.620 get their advice. But if you never actually publicly speak, 0:05:42.660 --> 0:05:44.620 you are not going to get better at public speaking. 0:05:44.620 --> 0:05:47.500 So the study has to come. Yes, you should learn 0:05:47.500 --> 0:05:50.380 how to make a presentation in Canva. You should learn 0:05:50.380 --> 0:05:52.779 the basics of storytelling, but as soon as you learn 0:05:52.779 --> 0:05:57.500 that thing, you instantly move into application, study and application. 0:05:57.500 --> 0:05:59.820 So knowing that you have a 5 to 9 chunk 0:06:00.140 --> 0:06:04.180 on a Monday night, you would study Canva. You would 0:06:04.180 --> 0:06:06.560 actually understand. How do I make things and put it 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.880 in the right order and make transitions so that it 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.640 makes the presentation interesting? Cool. Then for an hour that 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.159 night you're going to actually use Canva. You're not just 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.880 going to take this information. All this inflow without outflowing. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:23.279 That is my rule. If you inflow you must also outflow. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.960 You're getting information. You're receiving knowledge. Okay. Great. We're going 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.520 to apply that. That is how you make progress in 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.880 your 5 to 9 over the six months. Instead of 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.520 feeling like you're just making all of these sacrifices for 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.000 this long extended period of time without really seeing, am 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.840 I able to get a result in the field of 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.000 study that I am currently investing my time into? Now 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.880 I'm going to ask you to really look at where 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.800 do you currently spend your 5 to 9? If you 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.039 have a one hour commute to the office? First off, 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.160 maybe you should move closer to work because an hour 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.800 of your time is valuable. It is precious. It is 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.960 one of the most important things that you have. And 0:06:59.960 --> 0:07:03.320 if you are spending that full hour driving where you 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.940 can't pay attention to really learning something new, you are 0:07:06.940 --> 0:07:10.220 robbing yourself of valuable time. Now you can use that 0:07:10.220 --> 0:07:13.580 time in order to learn something. Listen to podcasts, but 0:07:13.580 --> 0:07:15.900 your full attention isn't there, and I would just strongly 0:07:15.900 --> 0:07:18.340 recommend get as close as possible to the places that 0:07:18.340 --> 0:07:20.740 you have to go every single day, because it's going 0:07:20.740 --> 0:07:23.060 to give you more time back in order to do 0:07:23.060 --> 0:07:25.780 things and create things that you might not right now 0:07:25.780 --> 0:07:29.540 have time to do because you're stuck in a car driving. Now, 0:07:29.540 --> 0:07:31.900 if you're unwilling to move closer to your work because 0:07:31.900 --> 0:07:33.860 you want to make it easier for yourself to be 0:07:33.860 --> 0:07:36.860 more successful and you are just committed to this one 0:07:36.860 --> 0:07:39.140 hour commute, this actually means that you don't have a 0:07:39.140 --> 0:07:41.300 5 to 9. It means you have a 6 to 9, 0:07:41.300 --> 0:07:43.740 so you just shrink the total amount of time that 0:07:43.740 --> 0:07:46.220 you have and you have one less hour. Now you 0:07:46.220 --> 0:07:48.660 can still get a lot done from 6 to 9, 0:07:48.900 --> 0:07:52.220 but you will have to be extra vigilant about where 0:07:52.220 --> 0:07:55.340 that time is being spent, so you can make progress 0:07:55.340 --> 0:07:57.900 towards getting to where you were trying to go. Now 0:07:57.900 --> 0:08:00.860 that brings us to tip number three, which is that 0:08:00.860 --> 0:08:04.980 errands are distraction. Have you ever wondered why rich people 0:08:05.100 --> 0:08:08.190 don't go to the grocery store. It's because somebody else 0:08:08.190 --> 0:08:10.390 can go to the grocery store for them. That is 0:08:10.390 --> 0:08:13.270 the least valuable thing that they could spend their time doing. 0:08:13.270 --> 0:08:15.710 It's not because they're so important or think so highly 0:08:15.710 --> 0:08:19.350 of themselves. They value their time and they can't get 0:08:19.350 --> 0:08:22.070 that time back. What I like to think about is 0:08:22.070 --> 0:08:24.830 if I want to make $1 million, I want to 0:08:24.830 --> 0:08:28.550 be $1 million earner. I can't also do things that 0:08:28.550 --> 0:08:32.270 somebody who makes $50,000 a year does. Because if I'm 0:08:32.270 --> 0:08:35.390 doing things that somebody who makes $50,000 a year does, 0:08:35.390 --> 0:08:38.670 I can't then make $1 million a year. I can't 0:08:38.670 --> 0:08:42.750 be both people. It's confusing. I'm gonna be strategic. I'm 0:08:42.750 --> 0:08:45.990 gonna sell. I'm gonna learn all these valuable skills while 0:08:45.990 --> 0:08:49.230 also spending my time doing something that has no value. 0:08:49.309 --> 0:08:51.830 So think about your groceries. You can have your groceries 0:08:51.830 --> 0:08:54.870 delivered to you. Think about a workout. You can actually 0:08:54.870 --> 0:08:57.309 work out at home. You don't have to drive somewhere 0:08:57.309 --> 0:09:00.870 to work out. You can shrink and use effectively the 0:09:00.870 --> 0:09:05.589 time that you once wasted by outsourcing and optimizing where 0:09:05.590 --> 0:09:09.090 you spend your time. The mindset shift is what I 0:09:09.090 --> 0:09:11.770 really want to hammer into you. Because if you do 0:09:11.770 --> 0:09:14.370 not value your time, you're going to add things that 0:09:14.370 --> 0:09:17.890 just waste your time and wonder why you're not making progress. 0:09:17.890 --> 0:09:20.450 One of my hacks to get my time back very 0:09:20.450 --> 0:09:23.170 early on in my career was having all of my 0:09:23.170 --> 0:09:27.250 food in frozen containers that I would put in the 0:09:27.250 --> 0:09:30.329 freezer at my office so I could microwave it for 0:09:30.330 --> 0:09:32.730 2.5 minutes and be able to eat it while I 0:09:32.730 --> 0:09:35.450 took more meetings. Now, some people aren't willing to do this. 0:09:35.490 --> 0:09:38.290 They're like, oh, I need time. I need to decompress. 0:09:38.290 --> 0:09:40.010 I have to check in with things. What the frick 0:09:40.010 --> 0:09:41.689 do you have to check in on? If you're trying 0:09:41.690 --> 0:09:44.170 to change your life, you need to spend more time 0:09:44.170 --> 0:09:47.490 that you don't have right now doing productive things. Something 0:09:47.490 --> 0:09:50.810 that's productive would be eating as fast as possible so 0:09:50.809 --> 0:09:53.170 that you're able to actually talk to people, move an 0:09:53.170 --> 0:09:56.450 initiative forward, learn something new. So I don't add time 0:09:56.450 --> 0:09:58.410 to me having a meal. I try to eat as 0:09:58.410 --> 0:10:01.250 efficiently as possible. Now. Today I am no longer eating 0:10:01.250 --> 0:10:04.770 Lean Cuisines for lunch. However, I don't hate on Lean Cuisines. 0:10:04.770 --> 0:10:07.189 I think Lean Cuisines are fantastic and if that's what 0:10:07.190 --> 0:10:08.990 you need to do in order to get your time back, 0:10:09.230 --> 0:10:12.630 eat the Lean Cuisine. It takes three minutes in the freezer. 0:10:12.630 --> 0:10:14.670 It takes three minutes in the microwave for you to 0:10:14.710 --> 0:10:18.190 efficiently get food so you can get back to work. 0:10:18.190 --> 0:10:20.910 But this idea of lunch breaks or spending a lot 0:10:20.910 --> 0:10:23.910 of time eating breakfast or going out to dinner with 0:10:23.910 --> 0:10:27.830 people just sucks time away from you. So what I'd 0:10:27.830 --> 0:10:30.360 recommend you do is take an audit of your 5 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.590 to 9 for the last two weeks. Where do you 0:10:32.590 --> 0:10:36.630 invest that time today and how do you batch those tasks? 0:10:36.630 --> 0:10:38.990 So you do them all at once and make it 0:10:38.990 --> 0:10:41.990 as efficient as possible. And for the ones that you 0:10:41.990 --> 0:10:45.070 can't batch, how do you outsource them so that somebody 0:10:45.070 --> 0:10:48.110 else can get that task done so that it frees 0:10:48.110 --> 0:10:51.670 up your time and ability to make more progress? Next 0:10:51.710 --> 0:10:54.270 up is step number four, which is you have to 0:10:54.309 --> 0:10:57.390 earn your fun. There's no dinner with friends until you 0:10:57.429 --> 0:11:00.310 hit your goals. Use the things that you want to 0:11:00.309 --> 0:11:03.910 do as something that is a treat and a reward 0:11:03.910 --> 0:11:06.829 for doing the things that you have to do. Nothing 0:11:06.830 --> 0:11:10.690 feels better than getting a treat from hard work. A 0:11:10.730 --> 0:11:14.689 reward for your sacrifices. When I'm in a period of sacrifice, 0:11:14.690 --> 0:11:17.370 it's frustrating. As much as I try to sell myself 0:11:17.410 --> 0:11:21.209 on sacrifices, sexiness is awesome. It feels shitty. It feels 0:11:21.210 --> 0:11:24.050 crappy while it's happening. So I create these little treats 0:11:24.050 --> 0:11:26.449 for myself to look forward to along the way. When 0:11:26.450 --> 0:11:30.050 I first started working out, my treat was buying one 0:11:30.050 --> 0:11:33.370 new article of clothing for every month that I was 0:11:33.370 --> 0:11:36.850 consistent with my workouts, so I would look forward all 0:11:36.850 --> 0:11:39.650 month to being able to pop into Lululemon and to 0:11:39.650 --> 0:11:41.490 get a new top, or to get a new pair 0:11:41.490 --> 0:11:43.730 of shorts, and it would feel so good spending that 0:11:43.730 --> 0:11:46.570 45 minutes going around the store, because I knew that 0:11:46.570 --> 0:11:49.290 I was making progress towards something that I wanted to 0:11:49.290 --> 0:11:52.170 make progress in deeply, and it made me feel so 0:11:52.170 --> 0:11:54.530 good to go around the store and to pick out 0:11:54.530 --> 0:11:58.370 something as a reward for the sacrifices that I made. Similarly, 0:11:58.370 --> 0:12:01.650 I remember during Covid it was such a crunch time 0:12:01.650 --> 0:12:05.370 in my business, but every week that I actually executed 0:12:05.370 --> 0:12:08.350 on the commitments that I made to myself with the 0:12:08.350 --> 0:12:11.829 meetings and the training I did and the bedtime that 0:12:11.830 --> 0:12:14.790 I had, I would reward myself with an hour long 0:12:14.830 --> 0:12:17.670 trip to target, and I would walk around every single 0:12:17.670 --> 0:12:19.830 aisle of target, and it made me feel so good 0:12:19.830 --> 0:12:23.350 about myself and the weeks when I slacked off, which 0:12:23.350 --> 0:12:26.189 was only one I didn't let myself go to target. 0:12:26.190 --> 0:12:30.470 And during that four months of being heads down, so 0:12:30.510 --> 0:12:34.110 locked in, spending morning till night working and creating value 0:12:34.110 --> 0:12:36.790 inside our business, I was able to create these little 0:12:36.790 --> 0:12:39.790 tiny moments throughout that allowed me to feel some sort 0:12:39.790 --> 0:12:42.470 of a reward. It wasn't just four months of hard, 0:12:42.470 --> 0:12:45.630 it was four months of hard with little tiny moments 0:12:45.630 --> 0:12:47.870 of things that I could look forward to that helped 0:12:47.870 --> 0:12:50.670 keep me in the game. One of my favorite quotes 0:12:50.670 --> 0:12:54.190 is pay the price today so you can pay any 0:12:54.190 --> 0:12:57.830 price tomorrow. Pay the price today. What are you willing 0:12:57.870 --> 0:13:00.830 to sacrifice and give up on today in order for 0:13:00.830 --> 0:13:02.630 you to get to where you're trying to go so 0:13:02.630 --> 0:13:05.470 you can do whatever you want in the future? That 0:13:05.470 --> 0:13:08.150 brings us to the last step, number five, which is 0:13:08.150 --> 0:13:13.650 all about learning and practicing how to learn faster than 99% 0:13:13.650 --> 0:13:16.449 of people. One of the fastest ways to learn something new. 0:13:16.450 --> 0:13:19.890 Instead of going to college and paying some institution tens 0:13:19.890 --> 0:13:23.530 of thousands of dollars, use ChatGPT to put together a 0:13:23.530 --> 0:13:27.969 curriculum that is actually going to get you a tangible skill. 0:13:28.010 --> 0:13:30.730 ChatGPT can be a wonderful tool to get you to 0:13:30.770 --> 0:13:35.130 actually learn and then do, but it's only wonderful if 0:13:35.130 --> 0:13:37.490 you prompt it to do that. So as you're having 0:13:37.490 --> 0:13:40.010 it build you a six month curriculum to become a 0:13:40.010 --> 0:13:43.770 master at sales, or to become a master in editing 0:13:43.770 --> 0:13:48.250 videos or creating viral social content, tell it that yes, 0:13:48.250 --> 0:13:50.530 you want the data and the information in the most 0:13:50.530 --> 0:13:53.010 up to date places where you can go to become 0:13:53.010 --> 0:13:56.370 an expert, but then have it give you quizzes and 0:13:56.370 --> 0:13:59.490 practicals so you can demonstrate that you actually know how 0:13:59.490 --> 0:14:01.610 to do that data. I give it all sorts of 0:14:01.610 --> 0:14:04.890 additional requirements, such as how much time I actually have 0:14:04.890 --> 0:14:08.010 to dedicate to this, and the exact types of quiz 0:14:08.010 --> 0:14:11.309 questions that it should give me. Are they easy quiz questions? 0:14:11.309 --> 0:14:13.710 Are they advanced quiz questions? Do I want it to 0:14:13.750 --> 0:14:16.790 trip me up? I want ChatGPT to get me a 0:14:16.790 --> 0:14:19.870 final result, which is my ability to do something that 0:14:19.870 --> 0:14:22.670 right now I can't do. So the more I'm able 0:14:22.670 --> 0:14:24.950 to structure a prompt to help it build me a 0:14:24.950 --> 0:14:28.350 curriculum that over time I am working through, the more 0:14:28.350 --> 0:14:30.230 effective it's going to be at actually getting me the 0:14:30.230 --> 0:14:33.150 education that I need. And when you get the education 0:14:33.150 --> 0:14:37.310 that you need and the implementation that can change your life, 0:14:37.470 --> 0:14:41.750 everything changes. It is wild how fast you can start 0:14:41.750 --> 0:14:44.950 to pick up new subjects, new topics, things that honestly, 0:14:44.950 --> 0:14:48.110 you might have felt dumb about before. All because you 0:14:48.150 --> 0:14:50.910 were able to get somebody to actually understand what you 0:14:50.910 --> 0:14:54.150 do and don't know and fill that gap in the information. 0:14:54.190 --> 0:14:56.270 Now it's going to provide this list. You have to 0:14:56.310 --> 0:14:58.950 make the time, which is your 5 to 9. You 0:14:58.950 --> 0:15:01.390 can't just tell ChatGPT you create me a six month 0:15:01.390 --> 0:15:04.110 curriculum of me studying two hours a day and have 0:15:04.110 --> 0:15:06.950 it give you that information without you taking the action. 0:15:06.950 --> 0:15:08.910 But we live in a day and age where there's 0:15:08.910 --> 0:15:11.010 no reason for you not to get the data that 0:15:11.010 --> 0:15:13.290 you need in order to change your life. You have 0:15:13.290 --> 0:15:15.130 the data, but now you need to use the time 0:15:15.130 --> 0:15:18.610 that you have to actually learn and then implement it. 0:15:18.650 --> 0:15:21.210 You can't just read and study. The way you become 0:15:21.210 --> 0:15:27.570 confident is by creating competence, and you get competence through implementation. 0:15:27.650 --> 0:15:29.930 If you're serious about changing your life, then the next 0:15:29.930 --> 0:15:32.810 step is to build the right systems and habits to 0:15:32.850 --> 0:15:34.370 make success inevitable. 0:15:34.490 --> 0:15:38.450 If you enjoyed this podcast, you are going to definitely 0:15:38.450 --> 0:15:41.290 not want to miss out on my new newsletter.
