Building a Life Everyone Dreams Of… but few Achieve.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tim Grover book was great, but his speech at the 10x Growth Con was much much much better. He should have narrated his own book.
I made a sale today. It was a 2 week free trial to click funnels for a client I’m working with. This client is going to be huge because I’m going to crush it for his product campaign.
I got lucky today… Really lucky, it just so happened that there was a introvert social media wiz sitting at the table with my new client. He’s going to be my click funnels nerd.
I NEED a click funnels nerd! So much so that I was trying to hire somebody. I don’t want to just partner with somebody in Job Killing. I want someone here, local, and sometime I could establish a culture with.
We’re meeting this week to discuss how we can smack together this first click funnel and collaborate on others.
So I slacked on the new prospects, and follow ups. My new routine is below. I’m taking out CF affiliate members, because although that’s important it’s not my main objective. New SEO clients makes so much more sense.
My Daily Routine:
Whoa man, I’m writing this on day 5 because I’ve been cranking so hard that I haven’t had time to put my blog in. Heck I skipped dinner last night.
Day THREE:
It was hard to refrain from playing video games, watching youtube videos, but I did it. I got some real work done.
I stepped my game up with my sales. My goal is 10 new prospects and 10 follow ups. I got 11 follow ups, and think I have some money on the table in the next month.
I feel that if I keep taking this much action that there it will definitely lead to success without a doubt.
This was my List of Changes from yesterday.
I’m doing good, but I can’t pack myself on the back… because I can do better. This is the root of my problem. As David Sandler said in his book “You can’t teach a kid to ride a bike at a seminar”
People have the tendency to revert to their “I” level by having really good days mixed with really bad days.
David talked about how you think success is 90% between the ears. If you think you’re a 6, you’ll have really good days, but also really bad days to balance out your “I Score”.
This is where mindset training comes in.
Repeat after me:
That’s from Tim Grover, the athletic trainer who worked with Michael Jordan, Dwayne Wade and Kobe.
What can I implement from this?
No breaks. No pats on the back. More wins. 87 days worth of this caliber of action.
I didn’t actually get to put this on day two, because I was working till 10:42pm last night! It was definitely a struggle to resist the urge to hop on HOTS and play a few games, but I kept trucking along. I spent the majority of the day working on my website. Had one sales call inbound, and then worked on funnels till late.
I worked hard all day except for watching 1 episode of Billions with my wife, but she went upstairs to put our daughter to bed and I kept watching. I could have definitely cut that out.
At one point I felt I was being a little unproductive with my website building. I feel like I should have worked on my funnels intermittently.
It’s Day ONE at 6:10pm. I’ve been a pseudo-entrepreneur for the last year. I started everything just before my birthday which is the 16th of May. I started my very own business.
Two Businesses actually. The first was an easier start because my former boss literally left. I didn’t get paid for 2 months, but inherited all of the clients. After having him, Charlie – the crook and another crazy boss named Seana in a row I decided instead of trying to find another job that I was going to open up my own personal training business.
Hence, my PT business was born! I’ll leave the name out for now, because I want to remain as anonymous as possible.
At the same time I was finishing my Rich Dad Poor Dad Real Estate program which wasn’t that useful. It costed me $5000 too. In hindsight I’d say it was worth it, because when I saw this ad on facebook by claiming that you could make websites and rent to business owners I was very intrigued.
Wait… I don’t need to get a 200K mortgage to net $300 positive cash flow a month? Sign me up.
I signed up with Job Killing as they named it which was another $5000, and that changed my life forever. Enough with the background though, let’s get right to business.
That’s enough for day one. Let’s go!
As you’ve probably learned in my about section… I REALLY need to get my shit together.
