Does this sound at all familiar to you?

All right, I want to ask you 3 quick questions.

1. Do you want to get more done in your day and have way more

free time?

2. Do you want to improve your focus, concentration, memory,

and productivity?

3. Do you want to be one of the people that GET-‐SHIT-‐DONE?

Well of course you bloody well do, or you never would have

downloaded this eBook, right? Well you’ve made a good choice, so

well done.

In this eBook I’m going to offer some solid insights and strategies to

get you going and on the road to achieving everything you dreamed

of as a starry-‐eyed little kid.

I can promise that if you follow the lessons and complete the

exercises (yes that means you) that you will be on track to achieving

your goals in a fraction of the time.

I really believe that success builds upon success and that we all need

to create a solid foundation to build upon. THIS EBOOK IS THAT

SOLID FOUNDATION. So I want to challenge you to play at 100% and

really act on what I’m going to teach you here.

But perhaps more importantly: I want to challenge you to become

a student of life. I want you to challenge yourself everyday and

become dedicated to creating an upward spiral to glory,

happiness, and riches… Welcome.

Time is the ultimate resource; spend it wisely

To get everything you want in life, you first need to decide where

you’re going to focus your time and energy. The aim of this first

stage is to sit down and decide what’s most important to you, and

exactly what you want to achieve.

This is done to ensure you’re working towards things that are

massively valuable to you. In today’s day and age the information

required to learn any skillset or achieve any goal is at our

fingertips. The ability to focus our time and energy (like a fricken

laser) is what makes the difference between glory and failure.

Exercise 1

I want you to grab a pen and paper, and pretend you have a new

superpower: the superpower of changing your future. Nothing is

too crazy.


6

I want you to write down 3 specific things you want to achieve

(these need to be things that are in your control to change, e.g. ‘I

want to be younger’ doesn’t count). It could be, ‘I want to write a

book’ or ‘I want to be at 8% body fat’ or ‘I want to start my own

business’.

So list 3 specific goals (BEFORE READING ON)…


7

20% of your actions produce 80% of your results

It’s very easy to spend hours working on something and still not

be moving forward at the rate you would like. Now that you have

figured out what you are going to focus your time on, the aim of

this stage is to figure out how to maximize your damage (e.g. how

to achieve your goals at rapid speed).

This is done to ensure you are not wasting days, weeks, months,

and years moving at a snail’s pace. Life is short, and if you’re

anything like me, you want to achieve and experience so much

that it boggles your mind. The answer: supercharge your output.

Introducing: Pareto’s Principle (the 80/20 law)

The 80/20 Law states that generally 80% of your results will

come from just 20% of your actions. These are what I call your

high leverage actions.

Now the trick is finding out what these high leverage actions are

for your chosen goal and focusing WAY MORE time on these.


8

Say you want to write a non-‐fiction book. You could choose to

spend your time browsing forums on the topic, chatting to like-‐

minded people about the topic, planning a marketing strategy,

analyzing the competition, proof reading and editing your notes…

you could do that… Or you could focus your time on SPECIFIC

CONTENT RESEARCH and UNINTERUPTED WRITING.

I promise if you were to solely focus on the last 2 things you would

have the book written in a fraction of the time, it would of

otherwise taken you.

So how do we find these high leverage actions for our goals?

Exercise 2

I mentioned earlier that in today’s day and age, the information

required to learn any skillset or achieve any goal is at our

fingertips. It’s now time to utilize the glorious gifts of our day

(more specifically the gift of Google).

For each of the 3 specific goals you wrote down in the previous

stage, I want you to follow these 2 steps.

1. Type your specific goal into Google, e.g. ‘getting to 8% body fat’.

And scroll through the results to find someone who has gone

from where you are now to where you want to be.

2. Now find someone who is giving away this information… FOR

FREE (or at a minimal cost). I guarantee there will be someone


9

with a blog, newsletter, or eBook detailing exactly how to

achieve this specific goal.

Important: Don’t allow yourself to be swept up in marketing

bulls#@t. People will try and make their ‘area of expertise’

sound overly complex, in order to upsell you on a bunch of

products you don’t need. You will have to use a bit of common

sense here to find someone who is offering the high leverage

actions, and nothing more.

Now for each of your specific goals, write down the 2 or 3

high leverage actions you will need to execute on a

regular/daily basis.


10

Give yourself immediate reward for your actions

Have you ever felt that you know what you want, you know how

to do it, but you still don’t take the consistent action required to

achieve your goal? The aim of this stage is to get you to execute

the actions required and to make it fun and easy.

Anything that you don’t enjoy doing, you are not going to keep doing,

simple as that. Success doesn’t have to be a chore and whether you

want to lose weight, start a business, write a book, or build a shed,

there’s a way to make it enjoyable.

Exercise 3

A) Now under each goal, and subsequent list of high leverage actions,

I want you to write (in 2 or 3 sentences) everything it will cost you if

you don’t achieve this goal and also (in 2 or 3 sentences) how

incredibly awesome your life will be if you do achieve this goal.

Linking huge pain to not taking action and huge pleasure to actually

taking action is extremely important, so… DO IT NOW.

B) Finally I want you to write down a list of rewards for yourself. You

will give yourself a reward from the list of rewards every time you

follow through on your high leverage actions.


11

This is crucial in training our mind and body to feel good about

taking right action (this step alone, will allow you to achieve your

goal in a fraction of the time and enjoy-‐the-‐hell-‐out-‐of the process!).

An example of a list of rewards would be: 10 minutes listening to

awesome music, eating an amazing meal, watching a funny TV show,

going for a run, having sex, having a glass of wine. Basically anything

that makes you feel great will be on the list.

So again, every time you do the right thing and complete your

high leverage action, give yourself an immediate reward.


12

On Pulling the Trigger

Programming these high leverage actions as daily habits is key. Until

these actions are habits you will feel like you are pushing a boulder

up a hill.

So follow these steps above, and I promise you will see great results.
