Wrapping up the End of the Month

I’m wrapping up the end of the month with an extra $347 collected.

That’s low.

To compliment that I have $750 uncollected.

Was this blog helpful?  Doesn’t seem like it this month.  However, I noticed a few key things as I get my thoughts on paper.

1. I’m not hustling like I’m broke anymore.
2. I’m slacking off
3. My confidence is up huge

So I need to make changes.

I was reading (listening) to “Awaken the Giant Within” by Tony Robbins today.

He talked about making decisions, commitment and taking massive action.  Tony says that when you make a decision it’s a commitment.  It’s not a “when I feel like it” or a preference.

Instead making a decision is concrete.  It’s a real change.  It’s a commitment that’s backed up with massive action.

Real Changes Going Forward

The mindset training from Job Killing, 10x Growth Con, Grant Cardone, and now Tony Robbins…  is priceless.  IF YOU USE IT.

I’m getting stuck into a rut when I’m taking action then I pat myself on the back by taking a coffee break, watch some car videos, surf social media, check my rankings.

Success really comes down to actually doing the work.  Making the decision.  Sticking with the decision.  Taking massive action with persistence to back up that decision.

I Need To Step My Game Up

How?  Just doing it.  Every morning, every afternoon, and every night.  Develop a schedule, and stick to that schedule.

These are my changes to implement.  This month I made a total of $4594.  Last month I made a total of $6721.

Last month was my best month.

My decision is that June will be my best month, July will be better, and every month after that.  The changes below will be implemented immediately.

My 10X Decision has been MADE.

Mixed Bag

Keeping myself in check with this online journal has been very helpful.  Over the last week I haven’t gotten to it.  I’ve almost forgot about it.

I’ve been putting in the work most of the days with a $1000 a month contract that I’ve gotta type up after this post & a quick easy $50 client the other day.

So to count I missed:

1. Day 15th (monday)
2. Day 16th (tuesday)
3. Day 17th (wed)
4. Day 18th (thurs)
5. Day 19th (friday)

Today is Day 20th.

When its work time…  It’s GET SHIT DONE TIME.  There’s soo many huge 10X Goals that I want to accomplish.  I can’t be lazy.

I put a separate tab on the 10x Decision Homepage for the changes I’m implementing each week.

Changing the Routine

This friday night was much different than many friday nights that I’ve had in the past.  Instead of sitting on the couch watching TV with my wife, playing video games while she cleans the kitchen, or hanging out I decided to get shit done.

I wouldn’t say that I got a ton done, but I got a few things.  I actually found myself getting sucked into a bit of analysis paralysis because I’ve had 2 amazing days of prospecting.  Now I’ve got to do the Hard Part…

The sales videos & the work.  I do find myself diving into things that take an unnecessary bit of energy like trying to setup a zap to connect my excel spreadsheet to a clickfunnel.

Changes to Implement

• Email Marketing Funnel needs to be implemented
• Engaging social media posts need to be done
• 24 hour maximum time limit for any leads for a follow up
• Follow up hour of the day
• Nesting during lunch
• Engaging content on my social media page

• Intro to Website Design Course
• Intro to SEO Course

Sooo many ideas!!!  I need to take massive action this weekend and finish up all those things that I’ve needed to do for weeks meanwhile put new action steps into place.  I’ve got liz & nelson getting trained on click funnels so I’ll be able to start pushing out sales for those funnels.

At the same time I need to take much better care of myself, because I’m fat, tired, and lacking my usual energy.

Last 2 days we’re truly 10xed.  Let’s keep this moment going the WHOLE WEEKEND.  10X!!!

 

Wow

Today feels like 4 days.  A completely awesome 4 days!  Holy shit.  I didn’t do my check list at all, but FUCK I killed it today.  Had 2 good meetings.  Made another sale, small one, but can lead to more.  Second meeting I didn’t push because I knew he had a partner.  He requested the follow up meeting so I feel reassured that it’ll be a closed deal.

I have literally 5 meetings in the next week.  I got awesome testimonials from the people I’ve been meeting at the PCNG group.  It’s going really well.

• No Video Games CHECK
• No TV period CHECK
• No Social Media Shitting CHECK
• Goals Morning & Night SLACKED
• 1 Post here everyday CHECK
• Keep Pipedrive up to date CHECK
• Exercise CHECK
• Sales Training CHECK
• 10 new prospects  (2 meetings)
• 10 follow ups

Meetings should count for prospecting/following up.

Growing

Right now I need to grow.  I need to get a VA in place to help me with silly shit like zapier connections, email marketing, and building out funnels.

That’s a good problem to have.  My wife also wants to rent a house that’ll add like $2000 to my expenses…  I can deal with this condo, but our kid’s growing up quick.  My daughter needs somewhere to play.

Plus I know that it’s only day 11 of my 10x Decision – I’ll be growing so much in the coming months.  The extra $2000 will be nothing.

Another Great Day

Busy day today.  Non-stop work!  I need to make time to do sales calls & follow up, but besides that I just needed to get some work done.

I definitely need to grab a new book for the car I find myself doing a little too much pandora listening.

Good Day.  I’ve got to get some sleep.

Mother’s Day

I’ve been putting in work for the last 2 hours because I know that I’ll be spending some much needed time with my wife & our daughter today.  I hammered through some serious work last night.  It felt great to grind through the rest of the night and hammer this morning.

My incremental goal is $1000 of residual income per month.  It’s May 14th right now and I’m at $440.  I’ve got half a month left so I’ll definitely be able to reach that goal.

Writing down my why last night made a huge impact.  I realize for me that journals like this work.  Writing my goals works.  Writing my daily battle plan works.  Pipedrive Works.  It all works, but I still need the discipline to do it.

I’ll have some time tonight to hammer a couple to do’s out, but right now it’s about my wife and her first mother’s day.

Off the Wagon

I feel off the wagon these last 2 days.  I got into a little bit of a friday funk, and so far this saturday has been worthless.  I did need to waste some time at the DMV but didn’t make use of my time very good the last 5 hours.

I don’t know why.  Is my “I” catching up to me?  Am I getting burned out?

It really comes down to the last 2 days where I didn’t do what I needed to do.

• I didn’t write down my goals
• I didn’t check my pipedrive
• I got messed up because I was supposed to call someone and didn’t
• I forgot to charge one of my SEO clients last week

Shit, I need to step up my game.  Let’s crank the next 5 hours and see if I can’t make this time up!!!

I’m going to restart my day like it was early morning right now.

EDIT:  I’ve been cranking the last 3 hours.  I got one funnel down that needed to be done.  I’m working on a second one.  It’s going well.

I also decided to write a letter to myself if this were to happen again.

Sales & Taking it Easy

• No Video Games CHECK
• No TV period CHECK
• No Social Media Shitting CHECK
• Goals Morning & Night SLACKED
• 1 Post here everyday CHECK
• Keep Pipedrive up to date SLACKED
• Exercise SLACKED
• Sales Training SLACKED
• 10 new prospects
• 10 follow ups

I don’t think the list above really says the ENTIRE STORY because although I didn’t do much prospecting today…  I got some good work in.  I got 2 sales TODAY.  One was an easy one for $300 a month that didn’t pay me last month, but I kept giving results to and following up.  The second was another client for one of my personal trainers.

I met with my social media guy which will be really helpful.  Thinking about all this I do need to do more prospecting especially for SEO because that’s partnered and done.  My partner is fucking awesome.  So lucky to have the guy, and he’ll crush it for all my SEO clients.

After crushing those sales I had some serious temptations to take it easy.  Play some video games, etc.  But I didn’t.  I got some work done on a funnel, and am writing this post now.  I’ve just got to keep cranking.

LETS FUCK THIS WEEKEND UP

Pain & Why

• No Video Games CHECK
• No TV period CHECK
• No Social Media Shitting CHECK
• Goals Morning & Night CHECK
• 1 Post here everyday CHECK
• Keep Pipedrive up to date CHECK
• Exercise SLACKED
• Sales Training CHECK
• 10 new prospects 6
• 10 follow ups 2

Getting better than yesterday.  Much better than earlier this week.

I was really working today.  Following up, calling on prospects, and finished up my website too.  I experience some serious pain today.

I felt like I was going cry.  I feel like I’m missing my daughter’s life.

I haven’t seen her in 3 days.

My personal training business takes my mornings & my nights Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday every week.  It’s hard not seeing my 8 month old daughter for 3 days in a row.  My wife and I do facetime, and I do peek-a-boo with her.

That’s not enough.  I don’t want to train for the rest of my life.  I want full control over my time.  I want 10X FAMILY like Uncle G says, and spend mornings with my kids.

Decisions:

I decided that I need to really focus on my Marketing Business.  I joined a MLM called Pruvit that sells Ketones.  I also hired another trainer.  I’ll be hiring one more soon enough.  My goal is sell ketones only when I’m training.  No other time spent in it.

I believe that’ll get me some extra income out of my personal training business without extra time.  I’m no longer taking clients.  I’ll take my clients if they renew their spots, but I can’t handle more clients.  I need time to focus on marketing, because I can grow my marketing business in leaps & bounds.

Thursday is tomorrow…  Lets push through the pre-weekend burn out and FUCKING CRUSH IT.
