We moved houses again last Monday.<\/p>\n

Our 4th\u00a0home in 12 months\u2026 8th\u00a0in our 3 years of marriage.<\/p>\n

Combined with several long hotel stays between \u201creal homes\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

And a bunch of cross-country flights with all the strollers and cribs\u2026<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve done serious packing-and-unpacking over a dozen times this year.<\/p>\n

Michelle and I have become Master Movers.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve learned that the secret to success with moving is the same as with entrepreneurship, fitness, marathons, marriage, raising children, and writing books.<\/p>\n

That secret to success is\u2026<\/p>\n

Better Planning & Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every time we move something goes slightly off the plan\u2026<\/p>\n

And so we must do better planning & prep so we don\u2019t make that same mistake again next time.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a big lesson for everyone when it comes to success\u2026<\/p>\n

You cannot make the same mistakes over and over again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are doing that in any area of life, your planning & preparation needs to change!<\/p>\n

But planning & prep is the real work that many people avoid.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not glamorous\u2026 and it doesn\u2019t make for a good social media post\u2026<\/p>\n

But planning & preparation is a major key for your success.<\/p>\n

I bring this up because there\u2019s a harsh truth that applies to all of us.<\/p>\n

As of today, 55% of 2024 is\u00a0done<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

And I have some questions.<\/p>\n

What is your Level 10 problem?<\/p>\n

Are you giving it Level 10 attention, planning, & preparation?<\/p>\n

One of the biggest mistakes I see in NEW clients is that they are avoiding this real work.<\/p>\n

They have a Level 10 problem.<\/p>\n

But fewer than 1 in 10 people are putting a level 10 effort into their level 10 problems.<\/p>\n

Most people do all sorts of perverse procrastination to avoid doing the difficult work.<\/p>\n

They take up fitness challenges to avoid working on their marriage.<\/p>\n

They become fantasy football addicts instead of learning copywriting.<\/p>\n

They blame others instead of looking in the mirror and becoming a better leader.<\/p>\n

They do long morning routines of \u201cFluff\u201d instead of going directly into a Profit Power Hour.<\/p>\n

I know that probably doesn\u2019t describe you\u2026<\/p>\n

But avoiding Level 10 Problems is one of the most common reasons people fail in life\u2026<\/p>\n

Are you giving your planning & preparation a Level 10 effort?<\/p>\n

Or are you working on too many projects that have you \u201cspread too thin\u201d?<\/p>\n

I see this all the time in ambitious entrepreneurs who tell us:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is that I am\u00a0saying yes to too many things that are completely misaligned<\/u>\u00a0with who I am, and how I want to show up in the world. These are the things that are draining me every week.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Saying \u201cYes\u201d to everything, even if done subconsciously, is a popular perverse form of procrastination.<\/p>\n

But as Warren Buffett says\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe difference between successful people and very successful people is<\/strong><\/p>\n

that very successful people say NO to almost everything.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week I want you to make a commitment.<\/p>\n

I want you to commit to better planning and preparation than ever before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I want you to use a Reverse Alarm so you get to bed on time and get up on time (no snoozing!) every morning this week.<\/p>\n

I want you to CRUSH every Profit Power Hour in the morning and do 60 minutes of revenue generating activity before anything else.<\/p>\n

I want you to build a winning streak of successful actions so that you build your confidence.<\/p>\n

Put a Level 10 Effort into your Level 10 problems so they are soon Level 5 problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Commit.<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Take Action.<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Build a Winning Streak.<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Grow Your Confidence & Competency.<\/p>\n

This is how you\u2019ll get 10X more results in the remaining 45% of the year than you did in the first 55%.<\/p>\n

The clock is ticking.<\/p>\n

Time to make the rest of the year the best of the year.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s gooooo!<\/p>\n
