[dropcap]I[/dropcap] have a busy, often chaotic life: I get over 800 messages per day, have meetings scheduled back-to-back, and a travel schedule that can become completely insane.
There’s nothing like having dozens of people, each day, asking questions, requesting favors, seeking meetings, or wanting to speak to you for one reason or another. It’s honestly overwhelming at times.
But despite all of this, I have been able to remain productive. The ability to drown out noise and remain focused on the task at hand has become a critical life saver in my ability to get things done.
Much of this came from having to figure out how to study 8 – 10 hours a day in graduate school while teaching students. It also came from holding a triple major in undergraduate, with two part-time jobs, a nearly perfect gpa and still graduating in 4 years, all after having a baby at the age of 18.
Achieving big objectives takes a ton of focus, and it also helps me understand why most people have really big goals, but never come close to completing them. The truth is that life usually gets in the way, mainly little things, like being on the phone for too long, going out too much, arguing with your girlfriend/boyfriend, not turning off social media, etc.
There’s a system to all of this, so I put it into a low-cost, high-quality class called “Black Keys to Greatness.” It’s a monthly mentorship program where I share detailed blueprints for time management, avoiding distractions, overcoming obstacles, etc. Basically, you get to spend a lot of time inside my brain to understand why the other students in my PhD program used to call me “The machine.”
I’m not bragging, it’s just the truth. I was determined to reach my goals, so I’ve spent years understanding why most people never achieve the things they hope to accomplish. I didn’t want to grow old with a pile of regrets, so I knew that my only option was to fight through the walls in front of me. In other words, I had to get out of my own way.
My friends and family (meaning you) can get the first month of the Black Keys to Greatness mentorship/teaching program absolutely FREE at the link below. I guarantee you’re going to love it and there is a 30-day, 100%, money-back guarantee.
We’ll also meet online twice a month to talk about goal setting, blocking out toxic relationships, quarantining your life, etc. You can achieve anything you want to do, you just have to believe in yourself and make a plan to get there.
You can take a look and give it a try at this link HERE.
