Key Takeaways Are you being productive or just working hard? Ask yourself, "What am I doing and how can I change?" Change your morning habits to build a new routine that enhances productivity. Slay your dragons in the morning. Focus on the hardest things that you tend to procrastinate. Decision fatigue affects your ability to make decisions throughout the day. Capitalize on the compound effect of taking daily action. Over time it will yield big results. All it takes is one big client to enable your business to be successful. Accept who you are and capitalize on your strengths. If you take action on the first day of a new opportunity, you will be much further ahead than if you hadn't. When you have success, people want to know how you got successful. You now have an opportunity to start coaching. There is a difference between a coach and a consultant - consultant gives you the information and a coach provides support. Everyone believes what they are missing is the knowledge to do something. The thing that is stopping them is their own doubts. People are afraid of others judging them. For example, they are afraid of selling their product or service because people will think you're just trying to rip them off. The most important aspect of creating productivity is self-discipline, not time management. You need both faith and belief.
