00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:02.468
You can't be the only person creating revenue.
00:00:02.468 --> 00:00:04.368
You want to create other revenue creators.
00:00:04.368 --> 00:00:06.889
That way, you can expand their roles and stuff like that.
00:00:06.889 --> 00:00:08.887
If you needed to walk away, you could walk away.
00:00:08.887 --> 00:00:10.707
If you needed a breather, you could leave the breather.
00:00:10.707 --> 00:00:13.746
If you needed to take a long nap and you needed a day off, you could do it.
00:00:15.291 --> 00:00:27.765
Hi docs, Welcome to the EntreMD podcast, where it's all about helping amazing physicians just like you embrace entrepreneurship so you can have the freedom to live life and practice medicine on your terms.
00:00:27.765 --> 00:00:29.611
I'm your host, Dr Una.
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:43.223
Burnout is terrible, but burnout that you create by yourself as an entrepreneur has to be the absolute worst.
00:00:43.223 --> 00:01:05.171
Okay, One of the things that I see as physician entrepreneurs that happens is you know, maybe we work a job or we're partners in a practice or you know whatever that is, and you know, the demands become so much, the administrative burden becomes so much, then we get burned out and then our solution is I cannot work in this system.
00:01:05.171 --> 00:01:12.724
This system is toxic, this system is not supportive, this system does not allow me to live life on my terms and all of these things.
00:01:12.724 --> 00:01:20.608
So I'm going to become an entrepreneur and usually, when you start playing the entrepreneurial cards right, things start to fall in place.
00:01:20.608 --> 00:01:23.909
Where you're in control of your time, you're in control of your calendar.
00:01:23.909 --> 00:01:24.716
You're in control of your calendar.
00:01:24.716 --> 00:01:32.191
You determine how much or how little you want to work, the revenue starts coming in, you start getting in team members and we're like, oh my goodness, this is amazing.
00:01:32.191 --> 00:01:51.634
And then your business starts to really grow and then what I have found that people find is that they're like I feel a certain way and I don't like the way I feel, and it feels exactly the way I felt when I was burned out and left where I was to start my business.
00:01:51.634 --> 00:01:52.114
Anyway.
00:01:52.114 --> 00:01:56.364
They go from burnout to honeymoon, back to burnout.
00:01:56.725 --> 00:02:11.467
Okay, and today, what I want to do is I want to show you how to stop building a business, stop building a practice that owns you, because when you build a business that owns you, burnout is inevitable.
00:02:11.467 --> 00:02:14.033
I'm going to make this super practical.
00:02:14.033 --> 00:02:16.268
I'm going to give you three things.
00:02:16.268 --> 00:02:20.502
I could give you five, I could give you seven, but I'm going to give you my best three.
00:02:20.502 --> 00:02:25.752
And what I really want you to do is I want you to treat this like a workshop.
00:02:25.752 --> 00:02:27.603
I want you to take these three things.
00:02:27.603 --> 00:02:39.969
I want you to audit your business, get them out of your business so you find yourself building a business that is sustainable, where, whether you're growing, whether you're scaling, you have a life.
00:02:40.230 --> 00:02:45.306
You're not living in burnout, you're not wishing you could throw your business away, because this is the deal.
00:02:45.306 --> 00:02:48.532
I have seen many people throw their businesses away.
00:02:48.532 --> 00:02:50.424
Right, it started working, all that stuff.
00:02:50.424 --> 00:02:57.360
They're like I can't take it because I don't have my time, I'm not able to work out, I'm not able to spend time with my children, I'm not able to spend time with my family.
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.728
This is no fun, I don't want it, right, and then they throw it all away.
00:03:01.728 --> 00:03:08.205
But when I look at it, I'm like, man, this had so much potential and not potential, like maybe somewhere in the sweet by and by.
00:03:08.205 --> 00:03:09.830
I do the math, I run the equation.
00:03:09.830 --> 00:03:20.867
I'm like this has so much potential but the owner didn't know to protect himself or protect herself from the things that will turn this into a nightmare.
00:03:20.867 --> 00:03:22.610
So I'm giving you this.
00:03:22.610 --> 00:03:36.633
So, as you take your business to seven figures, multiple seven figures, eight figures, all that, you're putting yourself in a position where you can enjoy the journey and the bigger your business grows, the happier you are.
00:03:36.933 --> 00:03:38.949
Okay, let's look at three things that now.
00:03:38.949 --> 00:03:39.673
There are three things.
00:03:39.673 --> 00:03:45.769
When I see them in a business, I know this person is like full speed ahead, heading to a business that's going to burn out.
00:03:45.769 --> 00:03:53.230
They're building a business that cannot survive without them, right, which means burnouts, which means they can never exit it, and stuff like that.
00:03:53.230 --> 00:03:58.760
You know I train my people, for instance, in the on-train business school, the frameworks I give the students.
00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:08.169
These frameworks are designed to help them build businesses they can exit from, and many people in the beginning I'm talking about exit they're like I haven't even, like I'm only a year in.
00:04:08.169 --> 00:04:09.641
I don't think I'm going to want to exit.
00:04:09.641 --> 00:04:11.205
I'm not exiting now or whatever.
00:04:11.205 --> 00:04:21.944
But as they go on their journey and they find that they're needing time and they find that, oh my God, I need to take this time off, life happened, I need to take that time off, or whatever.
00:04:21.944 --> 00:04:25.432
It then dawns on them the beauty of what they've built.
00:04:25.432 --> 00:04:27.968
They built a business that does not own them.
00:04:27.968 --> 00:04:30.908
They built a business that doesn't depend on only them.
00:04:30.908 --> 00:04:34.346
All right, so let me give you those three things and I'll give you the solution for all three.
00:04:34.579 --> 00:04:36.946
The first thing that sets you up to have a business that owns you.
00:04:36.946 --> 00:04:39.548
The first thing is you're the only revenue generator.
00:04:39.548 --> 00:04:42.043
Okay, you are the only revenue generator.
00:04:42.043 --> 00:04:47.733
The day you don't show up, there's no revenue to be had, and many people build their businesses this way.
00:04:47.733 --> 00:04:54.458
Many people build their businesses where the only person bringing in money, the only person doing the heavy lifting, is the owner.
00:04:54.458 --> 00:05:03.266
Everybody else is kind of just there, right, either they're doing random, unrelated tasks or they're doing important tasks, but they're serving the patients and clients.
00:05:03.266 --> 00:05:09.374
They're not necessarily creating revenue and stuff like that, and you're not intentional about this.
00:05:09.374 --> 00:05:13.250
You can build a business doing 500 in revenue.
00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:15.276
You're strong enough.
00:05:15.276 --> 00:05:19.067
You can build a business doing seven figures and you are the only revenue generator.
00:05:19.408 --> 00:05:22.221
This is called the beginning of a nightmare.
00:05:22.221 --> 00:05:24.966
It's not one of those things that are urgent and important.
00:05:24.966 --> 00:05:31.423
This is not urgent and important, but if you don't address it, it becomes urgent and important, okay, okay.
00:05:31.423 --> 00:05:33.427
What is the solution for this?
00:05:33.427 --> 00:05:37.906
If you're the only revenue generator and I want you to think about this and they'll say, oh yeah, there are many of us.
00:05:37.906 --> 00:05:51.370
No, if I was gone from my business for a week, if I was gone for two weeks, would everything come to a halt or would things be able to still go on Right, okay, so what do you want to do with this?
00:05:51.370 --> 00:05:52.392
What is the solution?
00:05:52.392 --> 00:05:58.281
You want to start thinking about replacement from day one, and when I say day one, I mean from the beginning of your business.
00:05:58.281 --> 00:06:07.653
But if you didn't think about it in the beginning of your business and you're 10 years in and you're 15 years in, you're 20 years in today's day one for you, okay, you start thinking about it.
00:06:07.653 --> 00:06:09.214
What is my replacement?
00:06:09.214 --> 00:06:11.625
And it may not necessarily be for your role.
00:06:11.625 --> 00:06:13.651
It could be for your role, but it's it's.
00:06:13.651 --> 00:06:19.007
It's also like how can every person in my company be a revenue generator?
00:06:19.007 --> 00:06:21.110
So I will give you two examples.
00:06:21.110 --> 00:06:21.913
Okay, so one.
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.242
This was a doctor in the entreme business school who was like okay, so I need to make up for the fact that we're not going to have any revenue because I'm going to go on vacation.
00:06:29.242 --> 00:06:30.064
I'm like what?
00:06:30.064 --> 00:06:35.464
Like no, you have a whole team and they're still going to be earning money and they're going to be coming to the office.
00:06:35.464 --> 00:06:39.221
And so I said to her I said okay, you have team members.
00:06:39.221 --> 00:06:44.211
What revenue generating activities can they be engaged in while you're not there?
00:06:44.211 --> 00:06:56.439
What could they be engaged in so that they are creating revenue, even though, in this circumstance is probably going to be like revenue, you will still have to do the delivery, but they can drum up the business, right?
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:57.463
I said what could they do?
00:06:57.463 --> 00:06:59.649
And initially she was like you know, I don't know.
00:06:59.649 --> 00:07:04.346
You know, usually I just you know, I have them, you know, attend some trainings, I have them clean.
00:07:04.346 --> 00:07:10.904
I was like there is no revenue to be had from training or cleaning, right, so they should train, they should clean and create revenue.
00:07:10.904 --> 00:07:11.807
What could they do?
00:07:12.108 --> 00:07:13.391
And then so she started thinking about it.
00:07:13.391 --> 00:07:15.511
She's like, well, I have a number of referral sources.
00:07:15.511 --> 00:07:20.504
They could go deep in those relationships with those referral sources and there's some people who don't refer to us yet.
00:07:20.504 --> 00:07:21.524
They can go meet with them.
00:07:21.524 --> 00:07:22.607
I'm like perfect.
00:07:22.607 --> 00:07:25.870
Then she says there are some people who have outstanding balances.
00:07:25.870 --> 00:07:29.334
They can call to collect on those outstanding balances.
00:07:29.334 --> 00:07:30.380
I'm like wonderful.
00:07:30.380 --> 00:07:33.829
And she says, oh, we have people who are overdue for appointment.
00:07:33.829 --> 00:07:37.747
They can call all those people so that by the time I get back my schedule will be full.
00:07:37.747 --> 00:07:39.600
I'm like fantastic, right.
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.326
And she says, oh, we have this vertical that does not require a physician.
00:07:43.326 --> 00:07:45.971
They can execute on it so they can fill their schedule and do that.
00:07:45.971 --> 00:07:47.855
Then I'm like, there we go, there we go.
00:07:47.855 --> 00:07:49.285
And so here she is.
00:07:49.285 --> 00:07:56.172
She goes on vacation for two weeks and for those two weeks her team members are there generating revenue every single day.
00:07:56.172 --> 00:08:01.228
So she can have her two weeks in peace, so she's not setting herself up for burnout.
00:08:01.228 --> 00:08:06.182
So in a way, her practice can work without her herself up for burnout.
00:08:06.182 --> 00:08:07.326
So in a way, her practice can work without her.
00:08:07.326 --> 00:08:08.910
And then she comes back and the people that were there created revenue.
00:08:08.910 --> 00:08:10.394
It's a way of thinking.
00:08:10.877 --> 00:08:11.980
Now for my private practice.
00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:21.370
I've had a private practice for the last 15 years and when I started, I started with the intent that I was going to give this 10 years and after 10 years I was going to retire.
00:08:21.370 --> 00:08:35.988
Okay, and it's not a recommendation, it's just that for me, I knew that I had, there were so many things that I needed to do with my life that I was not going to be in an exam room nine to five till I was 60 or 70.
00:08:35.988 --> 00:08:37.431
I just knew that was not a thing.
00:08:37.431 --> 00:08:38.013
How did I know?
00:08:38.013 --> 00:08:38.679
I knew All right.
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.743
So I'm not recommending it, I'm just sharing my story.
00:08:40.822 --> 00:08:49.495
What I did was, you know, from the beginning I started thinking and I think part of it was you know, I read E-Myth Physician and just got this whole concept of you know.
00:08:49.495 --> 00:09:08.515
There's you the technician, which is what I do as a clinician, seeing patients, and then you the manager right, managing the team, all of those kinds of things, and then there's you the entrepreneur, the owner, right, and there are three different roles and your job is to kind of build a business assets, not to build a job, okay, so I think I learned that pretty early on.
00:09:08.515 --> 00:09:09.922
I started thinking about that early.
00:09:09.922 --> 00:09:15.865
But, mind you, at this time, when I started thinking about this number one, I didn't even think I could build a seven figure practice.
00:09:15.865 --> 00:09:17.630
I had been an employed physician.
00:09:17.630 --> 00:09:22.347
I was this person who was like I'm going to be really smart, I'm going to be a great doctor and I'll have a great salary.
00:09:22.649 --> 00:09:24.371
Entrepreneurship was not something I thought about.
00:09:24.371 --> 00:09:30.208
At this point I didn't think I could build a seven figure practice and at this point I did not think I could pay another physician.
00:09:30.208 --> 00:09:34.065
The reason I'm telling you this is I'm telling you this so you can start from where you are.
00:09:34.065 --> 00:09:38.543
So, even though I had those limitations in my mind, I had those limiting beliefs.
00:09:38.543 --> 00:09:42.450
What I then said was like, okay, regardless, I set a date.
00:09:42.549 --> 00:09:47.203
I was like I'm not 10 years, I'm done 10 years, I retired and I'm so grateful.
00:09:47.203 --> 00:09:48.788
I mean, we hit that at year nine.
00:09:48.788 --> 00:09:56.153
But I was like I'm retired, okay, and I also want to point this out right, like I hear people say to me, this is a total sidebar.
00:09:56.153 --> 00:10:11.427
I hear people say to me oh, my practice is driving me nuts, I want to, I want to retire yesterday, okay, and I always say this and you give it the runway that it requires.
00:10:11.427 --> 00:10:12.826
This is a multi-year process.
00:10:12.826 --> 00:10:13.904
It will not take 10 years.
00:10:13.904 --> 00:10:16.580
Okay, I told you where I started from, but this is different.
00:10:16.580 --> 00:10:19.870
Like on Trendy, we have so many resources to help you and stuff.
00:10:19.870 --> 00:10:22.988
It does not need to take 10 years, but you do need to give it some runway.
00:10:22.988 --> 00:10:38.000
It could be three years, it could be five years, depending on how strategic, intentional you choose to be and how willing you are to eat really big frogs, okay.
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:42.298
So, cause they're frogs involved, okay, the first thing I did was I was like, okay, I can't pay a whole physician, so I could not even conceptualize having a six figure, multiple six figure salary on my payroll.
00:10:42.317 --> 00:10:43.080
I was just like, forget it.
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:49.889
But what I did do was I knew I could pay a doctor for a day right, I knew I could pay a doctor for a day.
00:10:49.889 --> 00:10:54.095
So I found a doctor who didn't really want to do all this stuff.
00:10:54.095 --> 00:10:57.846
She wanted to work a day a week, right, and so she wanted to work a day a week.
00:10:57.846 --> 00:11:04.692
I was like that is fantastic, and so I hired her really early on this must have been the first 12 to 18 months of my practice.
00:11:04.692 --> 00:11:09.010
I hired her and she came and she worked every Friday, but guess what that did for me?
00:11:09.010 --> 00:11:12.206
It meant every Friday, every week, I had a long weekend.
00:11:12.547 --> 00:11:13.688
My practice didn't own me.
00:11:13.688 --> 00:11:16.863
I could travel, for you know, for three days.
00:11:16.863 --> 00:11:19.509
I could travel, for four days, I could, you know.
00:11:19.509 --> 00:11:21.041
I could spend time with my kids.
00:11:21.041 --> 00:11:22.424
I could do all of these things.
00:11:22.424 --> 00:11:27.043
And I started training myself to bring other people on right, and so I did that.
00:11:27.043 --> 00:11:39.552
I brought somebody on one day a week, then I brought a nurse practitioner I think it was on three days a week before I then hired my first physician and all of those things, and I just started creating multiple revenue generators.
00:11:39.552 --> 00:11:42.224
So I was not the only person creating revenue.
00:11:42.224 --> 00:11:45.515
Okay, so you can't be the only person creating revenue.
00:11:45.515 --> 00:11:51.491
You want to create other revenue creators so that that way you can expand their role, their roles and stuff like that.
00:11:51.491 --> 00:11:53.486
If you needed to walk away, you could walk away.
00:11:53.486 --> 00:11:55.312
If you needed a breather, you could be in a breather.
00:11:55.312 --> 00:11:58.345
If you needed to take a not long nap and you needed the day off, you could do it.
00:11:58.345 --> 00:11:59.489
So that's really important.
00:11:59.990 --> 00:12:06.453
The mistake here is being the only revenue generator, and the fix is start thinking replacement from day one.
00:12:06.453 --> 00:12:07.958
Okay, all right.
00:12:07.958 --> 00:12:12.268
Number two is this is subtle and many people miss this.
00:12:12.268 --> 00:12:13.691
Oh, but it's such a drain.
00:12:13.691 --> 00:12:22.847
It's almost like every time you move away, your business will come to a standstill, right, if you don't understand this concept, and it will be so mentally draining.
00:12:22.847 --> 00:12:25.856
I cannot explain how mentally draining this is.
00:12:25.856 --> 00:12:31.028
And that mistake is being the only problem solver Okay, being the only problem solver.
00:12:31.028 --> 00:12:35.107
So, whenever anything breaks, dr Una, how do we do this?
00:12:35.107 --> 00:12:41.589
Somebody else saw a patient and a patient's parent is upset and the only person who can do the conflict resolution is you, dr Una.
00:12:41.589 --> 00:12:42.332
This mom is mad.
00:12:42.332 --> 00:12:42.995
You have to call her.
00:12:43.056 --> 00:12:47.076
There was a shipment of vaccines that needed to come in and the shipment didn't come in.
00:12:47.076 --> 00:12:48.561
Dr Una, the shipment didn't come in.
00:12:48.561 --> 00:12:49.121
What do we do?
00:12:49.121 --> 00:12:55.172
Even thinking about it is so draining, it's so tiring, right.
00:12:55.172 --> 00:12:58.442
The way you fix this this is a problem.
00:12:58.442 --> 00:12:59.082
Okay.
00:12:59.082 --> 00:13:03.892
The way you fix this is you train your people to think.
00:13:03.892 --> 00:13:06.943
You train your people to be problem solvers.
00:13:06.943 --> 00:13:09.669
You don't make all their problems go away.
00:13:09.669 --> 00:13:12.043
Okay, so I learned this from Brian Tracing.
00:13:12.043 --> 00:13:18.147
Okay, if you have not read the book, eat that Frog 21 Ways to Overcome Procrastination excellent book.
00:13:18.147 --> 00:13:19.630
I recommend it everywhere.
00:13:19.630 --> 00:13:26.191
In fact, it's a bestseller on Amazon and I think I'm the reason because I've always recommended it to hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and thousands of people.
00:13:26.572 --> 00:13:32.614
Okay, he talked about like when somebody comes in with a problem that see them as if they had a monkey.
00:13:32.614 --> 00:13:39.022
Right, they had a monkey on their shoulder and they came to you and told you about it and they took their monkey and left their monkey on your table.
00:13:39.022 --> 00:13:42.009
So imagine people keep doing that and doing that and doing that.
00:13:42.009 --> 00:13:46.006
At the end of the day, you have 25 monkeys on your table driving you nuts.
00:13:46.006 --> 00:13:51.822
My approach then became when somebody comes and says the vaccine shipment didn't come, what do we do?
00:13:51.822 --> 00:13:53.423
I'm like what would you like to do?
00:13:53.423 --> 00:13:56.267
And so when I started doing that with my team, they're like I don't know.
00:13:56.267 --> 00:13:57.248
That's why I'm asking you.
00:13:57.248 --> 00:13:59.770
I'm like perfect, so why don't you go think about it?
00:13:59.770 --> 00:14:04.897
Come up with three solutions, okay, and come tell me and I'll tell you which one and why.
00:14:04.897 --> 00:14:19.397
Now, it takes more time.
00:14:19.336 --> 00:14:21.105
Quote I don't do that, and the more you do it, the more stressful your life will become.
00:14:21.105 --> 00:14:21.361
I don't do that.
00:14:21.361 --> 00:14:21.758
Now, what does that do?
00:14:21.758 --> 00:14:22.293
Number one it makes them think.
00:14:22.293 --> 00:14:24.301
And if you can have people who have hands that work and brains that think you are a blessed employer.
00:14:24.301 --> 00:14:26.525
Okay, number one is it helps them think.
00:14:26.525 --> 00:14:36.466
Number two if you are disciplined enough to tell them what you would do and why, then everyone becomes a masterclass you're giving them in problem solving.
00:14:36.466 --> 00:14:51.308
You are transferring the way you think and the way you problem solve to your team, which is a magical thing because it gets to the point where they're like I know what Dr Una will say, I know what Dr George will say, I know what they'll say because they've done this with you time and time again.
00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:55.625
So when they come in and say, oh, I don't know this, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, I see it as a monkey.
00:14:55.625 --> 00:14:57.967
I'm like you stay right there, you hold your monkey.
00:14:57.967 --> 00:15:02.192
Okay, you hold your monkey, I'm not taking your monkey, I don't want your monkey on my table, okay.
00:15:02.192 --> 00:15:04.056
And then I'm like you go figure it out.
00:15:04.056 --> 00:15:09.547
You come back, you tell, execute.
00:15:09.547 --> 00:15:11.929
And so I did this in my practice and did it and did it.
00:15:11.929 --> 00:15:14.413
I did it with my team and EntreeMD and did it and did it.
00:15:14.413 --> 00:15:23.649
I do it with PMT, all my companies, so much so that I'm surrounded by problem solvers, I'm surrounded with people with high quality thinking.
00:15:23.649 --> 00:15:25.700
I'm surrounded with that.
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.549
Okay, so being the only problem solver is a nightmare.
00:15:30.549 --> 00:15:38.928
And so the bigger your team gets, the more stressed out you are, the more mental clutter you have, the more you want to throw your entire business away.
00:15:38.928 --> 00:15:42.846
The problem is not the business, the problem is you're the only problem solver.
00:15:42.846 --> 00:15:43.528
Okay.
00:15:43.528 --> 00:15:45.700
So the builder has a problem, it's you.
00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:46.522
Okay.
00:15:46.522 --> 00:15:48.504
The coach has a problem, it's you.
00:15:48.504 --> 00:15:50.508
The VA has a problem, it's you.
00:15:50.508 --> 00:15:54.433
Like, no, have them think, have them think, okay.
00:15:54.735 --> 00:15:58.731
Number three, third problem, is that we create a culture.
00:15:58.731 --> 00:16:00.820
So this is a personal culture for the owner.
00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:04.427
We create a culture where work time bleeds into lifetime.
00:16:04.427 --> 00:16:07.053
Okay, work time bleeds into lifetime.
00:16:07.053 --> 00:16:07.822
So what does that mean?
00:16:07.822 --> 00:16:08.764
What does that look like?
00:16:08.764 --> 00:16:17.846
Okay, you're at work in your practice or in your, in your, in your, whichever type of business you have, and you see the patients all day.
00:16:18.307 --> 00:16:19.249
This happened to me.
00:16:19.249 --> 00:16:21.793
It was a turning point for me, right?
00:16:21.793 --> 00:16:23.562
I see the patients all day.
00:16:23.562 --> 00:16:27.230
I was gone in the morning before my kids came, you know, got up.
00:16:27.230 --> 00:16:28.780
I hadn't seen them all day.
00:16:28.780 --> 00:16:33.410
I got home and my kids came to hang out with me and you, you know these.
00:16:33.410 --> 00:16:33.971
Hi, mom.
00:16:33.971 --> 00:16:36.183
I'm like okay, hang on, let me go take a shower.
00:16:36.183 --> 00:16:43.253
So I do all of that stuff and I come out and I settle in because I still have 20 undone notes and I start charting.
00:16:43.253 --> 00:16:49.409
And they come back in, they want to come hang with mommy and all that stuff, and I'm like shoo, shoo, go away, I'm working.
00:16:49.831 --> 00:16:57.354
In that moment I thought I said, okay, they woke up in the morning, I wasn't there, they went through their day, I wasn't there.
00:16:57.354 --> 00:17:10.017
I got back home and I'm also not there and I'm like there is something terribly wrong with this.
00:17:10.017 --> 00:17:26.579
And he said that if you don't focus I'm really paraphrasing here If you don't focus, if you're not diligent, if you're not a good steward of your hard time, which is when you're at work, then you're going to have to give up your soft time, which is your lifetime when you're at home.
00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:29.085
Now I'm going to tell you the solution.
00:17:29.085 --> 00:17:35.615
I'll tell you what I did, but I'm going to break it down in a way that you can get it, because it's again, it's a way of thinking.
00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:02.468
00:00:02.468 --> 00:00:04.368
00:00:04.368 --> 00:00:06.889
00:00:06.889 --> 00:00:08.887
00:00:08.887 --> 00:00:10.707
00:00:10.707 --> 00:00:13.746
00:00:15.291 --> 00:00:27.765
00:00:27.765 --> 00:00:29.611
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:43.223
00:00:43.223 --> 00:01:05.171
00:01:05.171 --> 00:01:12.724
00:01:12.724 --> 00:01:20.608
00:01:20.608 --> 00:01:23.909
00:01:23.909 --> 00:01:24.716
00:01:24.716 --> 00:01:32.191
00:01:32.191 --> 00:01:51.634
00:01:51.634 --> 00:01:52.114
00:01:52.114 --> 00:01:56.364
00:01:56.725 --> 00:02:11.467
00:02:11.467 --> 00:02:14.033
00:02:14.033 --> 00:02:16.268
00:02:16.268 --> 00:02:20.502
00:02:20.502 --> 00:02:25.752
00:02:25.752 --> 00:02:27.603
00:02:27.603 --> 00:02:39.969
00:02:40.230 --> 00:02:45.306
00:02:45.306 --> 00:02:48.532
00:02:48.532 --> 00:02:50.424
00:02:50.424 --> 00:02:57.360
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.728
00:03:01.728 --> 00:03:08.205
00:03:08.205 --> 00:03:09.830
00:03:09.830 --> 00:03:20.867
00:03:20.867 --> 00:03:22.610
00:03:22.610 --> 00:03:36.633
00:03:36.933 --> 00:03:38.949
00:03:38.949 --> 00:03:39.673
00:03:39.673 --> 00:03:45.769
00:03:45.769 --> 00:03:53.230
00:03:53.230 --> 00:03:58.760
00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:08.169
00:04:08.169 --> 00:04:09.641
00:04:09.641 --> 00:04:11.205
00:04:11.205 --> 00:04:21.944
00:04:21.944 --> 00:04:25.432
00:04:25.432 --> 00:04:27.968
00:04:27.968 --> 00:04:30.908
00:04:30.908 --> 00:04:34.346
00:04:34.579 --> 00:04:36.946
00:04:36.946 --> 00:04:39.548
00:04:39.548 --> 00:04:42.043
00:04:42.043 --> 00:04:47.733
00:04:47.733 --> 00:04:54.458
00:04:54.458 --> 00:05:03.266
00:05:03.266 --> 00:05:09.374
00:05:09.374 --> 00:05:13.250
00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:15.276
00:05:15.276 --> 00:05:19.067
00:05:19.408 --> 00:05:22.221
00:05:22.221 --> 00:05:24.966
00:05:24.966 --> 00:05:31.423
00:05:31.423 --> 00:05:33.427
00:05:33.427 --> 00:05:37.906
00:05:37.906 --> 00:05:51.370
00:05:51.370 --> 00:05:52.392
00:05:52.392 --> 00:05:58.281
00:05:58.281 --> 00:06:07.653
00:06:07.653 --> 00:06:09.214
00:06:09.214 --> 00:06:11.625
00:06:11.625 --> 00:06:13.651
00:06:13.651 --> 00:06:19.007
00:06:19.007 --> 00:06:21.110
00:06:21.110 --> 00:06:21.913
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.242
00:06:29.242 --> 00:06:30.064
00:06:30.064 --> 00:06:35.464
00:06:35.464 --> 00:06:39.221
00:06:39.221 --> 00:06:44.211
00:06:44.211 --> 00:06:56.439
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:57.463
00:06:57.463 --> 00:06:59.649
00:06:59.649 --> 00:07:04.346
00:07:04.346 --> 00:07:10.904
00:07:10.904 --> 00:07:11.807
00:07:12.108 --> 00:07:13.391
00:07:13.391 --> 00:07:15.511
00:07:15.511 --> 00:07:20.504
00:07:20.504 --> 00:07:21.524
00:07:21.524 --> 00:07:22.607
00:07:22.607 --> 00:07:25.870
00:07:25.870 --> 00:07:29.334
00:07:29.334 --> 00:07:30.380
00:07:30.380 --> 00:07:33.829
00:07:33.829 --> 00:07:37.747
00:07:37.747 --> 00:07:39.600
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.326
00:07:43.326 --> 00:07:45.971
00:07:45.971 --> 00:07:47.855
00:07:47.855 --> 00:07:49.285
00:07:49.285 --> 00:07:56.172
00:07:56.172 --> 00:08:01.228
00:08:01.228 --> 00:08:06.182
00:08:06.182 --> 00:08:07.326
00:08:07.326 --> 00:08:08.910
00:08:08.910 --> 00:08:10.394
00:08:10.877 --> 00:08:11.980
00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:21.370
00:08:21.370 --> 00:08:35.988
00:08:35.988 --> 00:08:37.431
00:08:37.431 --> 00:08:38.013
00:08:38.013 --> 00:08:38.679
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.743
00:08:40.822 --> 00:08:49.495
00:08:49.495 --> 00:09:08.515
00:09:08.515 --> 00:09:09.922
00:09:09.922 --> 00:09:15.865
00:09:15.865 --> 00:09:17.630
00:09:17.630 --> 00:09:22.347
00:09:22.649 --> 00:09:24.371
00:09:24.371 --> 00:09:30.208
00:09:30.208 --> 00:09:34.065
00:09:34.065 --> 00:09:38.543
