  • - Productivity secrets, how to master the art

  • of doing more in less time and have more time to do

  • what you enjoy, what you love to do.

  • So, first question that Sigel has for you is this.

  • Imagine you had a bank account that deposit

  • $86,400 each morning,

  • imagine you had a bank account like that.

  • And the account carries over no balance from day to day,

  • allows you to keep no cash balance,

  • and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount

  • you have failed to use during the day.

  • My question to you is what would you do?

  • What would you do?

  • How many of you would draw out every dollar each day?

  • Put it in the chat.

  • Would you draw every dollar every day, yes or no?

  • - Spend it all Marcus says.

  • - You would spend it all, you would spend it all, exactly.

  • We all have such a bank account,

  • it's name is what, time.

  • What it's name, time.

  • You do have that, every morning it credits you,

  • every morning when you get up.

  • 86,400 seconds every day.

  • Every night it writes off as lost,

  • whatever time you failed to use wisely,

  • it carries over no balance from day to day,

  • does that make sense?

  • So you do have that account, just a time bank.

  • It is a time bank.

  • So each day that count starts fresh,

  • each night it destroys an unused time.

  • Now if you fail to use the day's deposits, right,

  • the time that you have, those seconds that you have,

  • it's your loss and you can't appeal to get it back.

  • Now what would you do if you think of your time that way?

  • What would you do differently?

  • What would you do if you viewed that,

  • that you actually deposit, that's money,

  • (speakers drown each other out)

  • Time bank, every day.

  • - Minimize waste, get the most out of it.

  • - Invest. - Do more in the seconds

  • or invest, yeah.

  • Don't waste a single minute.

  • - The first term that I wanna teach you, write this down

  • is called return on time invested.

  • TI, our TI, time invested.

  • Just you know the term return on investment,

  • why we walk about that as an investible log.

  • But return on time invested,

  • meaning that every activity that you do,

  • any task that you choose to do,

  • you have to ask yourself what's my return?

  • What's the return on time invested?

  • Is there even a return, doing this thing, right?

  • Accomplishing this task.

  • Or is it just because I am busy and busy and busy.

  • Write it down, business is also a form of laziness.

  • Business is a form of laziness.

  • Do you know a lot of people who are very very busy,

  • but they don't get any shit done?

  • Right, they're busy, they're always like

  • "I'm busy man, I'm working on this,

  • "I'm getting back to people, I'm making this call,

  • "I'm doing all these meetings."

  • But what's the result?

  • At the end of the day, what's the result?

  • What's that return on time invested?

  • - Bobby said "Don't be busy, be productive."

  • - That's right, that's a big difference.

  • Just because you are splashing in the water

  • doesn't mean you're swimming, right?

  • You're making a lot of splash,

  • but that doesn't mean you're going anywhere.

  • And sometimes do you know why some people

  • they like to keep themselves busy?

  • To kind of almost fool themselves they're being productive.

  • - They're being productive, yeah.

  • - Why is that?

  • So, they wanna feel important,

  • instead of actually being important.

  • So imagine this, two different scenario,

  • first person, you ask them

  • "Man how's it going, how's business?

  • "Like, what's walking?"

  • - Oh man I'm so busy I've got,

  • yeah you know like, last week I had all these new

  • projects going and man, yeah.

  • The deal's about to be closed, and yeah.

  • Man I just so, yeah, just overwhelmed.

  • Building a team up, I'm bringing on a new member.

  • - Got something going on all the time, right?

  • Now that's one scenario, let's take the opposite scenario.

  • You ask so how's it going and the person says like

  • "Oh man," (mumbles).

  • - Yeah, I'm not struggling.

  • (speakers drown each other out)

  • - I love that I got a lot of free time.

  • - Yeah man I'm bored, no leads are coming in,

  • y'know I'm just sitting around waiting.

  • - I feel a fucking loser.

  • I feel like a loser, that's what happens, right?

  • So a lot of times people use the busy-ness as a disguise,

  • as almost a way to escape, right, a way out,

  • instead of focusing on what's important.

  • A lot of entrepreneurs are like that by the way.

  • You ask them all what are you working on

  • and they'll tell you like

  • a zillion things they're working on,

  • but when you drill it down so out of all those things,

  • what produces results?

  • Now they're like oh well, I guess, I don't know.

  • They're just working on a lot of stuff

  • instead of focusing on what's important.

  • A lot of you have that problem too, right?

  • How many of you are busy, be honest.

  • You're busy but you don't feel like you are,

  • you're making the progress that you want.

  • You're not productive enough.

  • - At least you're honest, okay, Estaban's honest,

  • Chantelle's honest, right.

  • - 'Cause it feels good, it feels good when you're like,

  • you get the adrenaline running,

  • like oh you're busy, you're busy right, versus.

  • Calm, getting stuff done, precise, right?

  • So what does productivity have to do with making money?

  • - Yeah what does it--

  • - 'Cause you might think, right,

  • but Siefer what does that have to do with making money?

  • I just wanna ratable freedom, I wanna have more success,

  • I wanna make more money, I wanna grow my revenue,

  • like what does this have to do with making money?

  • Do you know what this has to do with making money?

  • Do you know?

  • (mumbles) do you know?

  • - I'm gonna take a stab, y'know--

  • - Everything!

  • - Everything, are you sure? - Everything.

  • Every fucking thing, everything.

  • Because how you use your time,

  • ultimately determines how much money you make.

  • - Right, okay. - Period.

  • How you use your time, it has to do with everything.

  • So I want you to imagine Bill Gates, Steve Jobs,

  • Jack Maher, Warren Buffet, Jeff Bazos.

  • - Yes. - Millionaires, billionaires.

  • We have the same amount of time.

  • Right, we all have 24 hours a day,

  • we have the same 24 hours day as them, as me.

  • We all 52 weeks a year.

  • We all have 365 days a year.

  • We have the same amount of time,

  • the difference between them and you

  • is how they use their time.

  • Meaning their output, what they're able to get done

  • within that period of time.

  • That's the only difference.

  • When it comes to time, there is one advantage,

  • everybody's equal, it's a level playing field.

  • It is not like oh he's Bill Gates,

  • so he actually has 40 hours in the day.

  • Or he has 36 hours in the day.

  • No, it's 24 hours, 24 hours, the same 24 hours.

  • It's the same, right?

  • - Yeah, people talk about oh that person's got

  • some personality benefits 'cause they're a outgoing person,

  • I'm an introvert type of thing.

  • Or that person's got more money, I don't have money.

  • - Time doesn't pick, time is equal.

  • - That person had better education,

  • I didn't have better education.

  • - They speak more different languages,

  • or my English is not as good, doesn't matter,

  • it's all equal.

  • 24 hours, we all have that, makes sense.

  • Does that make sense?

  • - Yes. - So when you understand

  • this concept that what it means is this,

  • that you would know how you use your time

  • ultimately determines how much money you make

  • and the long term success that you have.

  • One thing I wanna emphasize is although

  • mainly I teach entrepreneurship,

  • I teach business, I teach marketing,

  • I teach to business owners, also a lot of professionals.

  • But a lot of my students, they are actually

  • working at a job.

  • A lot of these principles applies to you.

  • It doesn't matter if you run your own business,

  • or you're working for someone else.

  • Because at the end of the day what my focus

  • and what the mission of our company,

  • is to help people to become a better version of yourself.

  • - We have waiters that have increased

  • the number of tips they get,

  • we have business managers that have promotions like this

  • or get bonuses because they applied the closing principles

  • on negotiation skills,

  • you know all this stuff here.

  • So there's lots, we've got stay at home moms,

  • who have been able to freelance their work

  • and earn more commissions.

  • They probably even bring in more money sometimes

  • than their spouses or partners.

  • Because they use the skills that you taught them.

  • - Yeah, well what I wanna do is,

  • next month, whenever we teach a class,

  • I wanna see you on there.

  • I want to see your success story.

  • I want you to have those (bangs table)

  • booms right, create your own booms.

  • Be inspired, don't be intimidated, right.

  • Don't be "Oh, yeah, I mean Grace could do it

  • "and they can do it, but I don't know if I can do it."

  • No, you can do it.

  • If you want bad enough you can do it.

  • How many of you want to be featured,

  • want to be mentioned, during class.

  • How many are committed to create the success,

  • create the booms.

  • It's not about bragging, it's your doing it

  • to remind yourself, but also to inspire others.

  • Other DoD family members, right.

  • What they could do, what you have done,

  • don't be selfish.

  • Sometimes you're selfish

  • you feel like "Oh, I don't want to be braggadocios

  • "and share my success," no you're being selfish.

  • You wanna be selfless, which is share your success stories.

  • Inspire others, that's how you up come others right?
