So what are you doing to get your day off to a great start? Eating some heavy pastries, a few cups of coffee and three hours of email?  That's probably not the best way to start off from a physical standpoing, nor an emotional or productivity standpoint. 

I've been taking my cues in this area from a guy by the name of Eben Pagan.  He's incredibly successful and gets more done than anyone I've ever met. I don't think there's anything Eben Pagan does by accident.  Not to say that he doesn't make mistakes.  But as far as getting to work - he doesn't just "wing it".  And his results show. 

He's launched 2 brand new multi-million dollar a year businesses in the past year, accidentally lost 25 lbs all while still managing to operate his 20 million dollar a year information product business. 

Learn Eben's Secret Weapon

I've been able to see Eben speak live about 5 times now.  Twice at StomperNet Live events, the Altitude 5 day workshop in 2007, the June Guru Mastermind Customer Summit and just this past weekend at the Guru MasterMind Conversion Summit. 

All I can say is that it's exhausting to just WATCH him work. The cool thing is that he appears to have just as much energy at the end of a 12 hour day on stage as he does when he first walks on stage at 9:00 AM.  Simply amazing.  It all boils down to this:

Eben makes sure he spends his time doing two things:

1. Taking care of himself physically with a personal success ritual that he does every single morning without fail.
2. Taking care of the most important parts of his business FIRST. 
   • Creating high value products
   • Marketing those products

Everything else is secondary.  Really - everything. 

I know, you're busy - there's a lot going on when starting or running your own business.  But just imagine if you took the most important thing you needed to accomplish and did that FIRST instead of opening your email and getting lost in the garbage.

I'm far from perfect.  I'm an email addict.  It's open all the time.  It finally hit me when I went on vacation and I could only check email 1-2 times a day.  Guess what…  The world did not come to a screeching halt.  The business hummed along just fine.

Lesson learned.

Look, Eben Pagan is a bit (Ok, a LOT) on the extreme side when it comes to productivity and how he manages himself and his time.  I'm not convinced I am willing to take it as far as he is.  But there's a lot to learn from him.

Fortunately, as a member of Ebens high end Platinum Guru MasterMind program - I have  access to his Waking Up Productive time management program.  All I can say is that it's great and I'm going through the program for the second time right now.  If I didn't have access to the program already, I'd be buying it. 

Don't spin your wheels buying more tactics, software and new ideas.  You and I both know that if you just implemented what you ALREADY KNOW, you'd be 10 times farther ahead than you are now.  Seriously, let's be honest - you're stuck in a learning and indecision stage.  I've been there and constantly fight to keep from getting sucked back into that mode.

Ask yourself, what's really holding you back?  Is it your lack of some new Google trick?  Missing software?  Or just the plain fact that it's really really hard to make yourself do the most important thing to grow your business first thing in the morning.

We all have the same amount of time per day.  it's what you do with it that counts.  I know I'm in the middle of an unsubscribe binge.  I'm a bit "launched out".  Meaning - I'm tired of the chasing every new guru's launch, looking for the lost "secrets", software, tactics, and getting sucked in by the amazing bonuses.  Some of it really is hard to resist. 

Don't get me wrong.  Any big name guru got there because they know what they are doing.  But more likely they are super successful because of they take action.  They don't wait till they know everything.  They Act.  They make mistakes quickly.  Adjust, adapt and move on.  But Action is the key.

So, what's the problem in this information age?

• Information overload - it kills.
• Indecision - it kills.
• Lack of focus - it kills.
• Procrastination - it kills.
• Multi-tasking - it kills.
• "Winging it" - again - kills.

What do these things kill?  Just your passion, your focus, your motivation, your desire and most importantly, your results.

Get this handled.  it's my top priority as I work to bring my business to the next level.
