How do you work hard?

Question

I read an amazing article today by a 22 year old millionaire named Tucker Hughes- https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/276134 It inspired me to dive deep and examine my daily productivity, clarity for my goals, and how I plan to accomplish them.

Im learning every day how to transition into the grueling schedule associated with becoming a millionaire in real estate. Many of these things required for success are things that I was not taught growing up, even when I talk to my dad about things like waking up at 4am to work, or going to the gym everyday, or meditating, he acknowledges that even he could never do that, but knows that many successful people do that and that it's vital.

Anyways, I just want to find out how you might be organizing your day to maximize productivity & success, and how you made the transition into this schedule?

@Cedric Moore I would start with the Miracle Morning.  I got the "Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents" on Audible, and love the premise of transforming your morning in order to transform your day.  It sounds like it would be a good start for you.

@Cedric Moore I've struggled with the same ideas before. This past year, I've started to make some strides. By the end of 2016, I plan to have a multi-million commercial portfolio and currently on track to do so. I'm currently 25.

Here is what helped me after years of sitting idle:

- write your goals down twice a day (I'm 4 months into this exercise and has helped me tremendously, start with once and build up to two times)

- small chunk your success (don't try to fix everything at once. Prioritize what's important)

- surround yourself with more successful people (I've found buddies who are crushing it in the sales game and really helped me to stay motivated)

- tell your friends to keep you honest (one of my buddy snapchats me to make more cold calls during the day)

- read a ton (Sell or Be Sold by Grant Cardone and Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi are good starters)

That's a lot to take in but start small. First I would focus on your goals and then build up from there.

Hi Cedric,

That's a very interesting article you posted, thanks for that.  I can recommend that you look for Jim Rohn in YouTube, as soon as you start listening to this man, your whole life will change.  Have a great day.

@Cedric Moore One of the best books I have read on productivity was  Getting Things Done. It's not so much a book grounded on the idea of working hard, but smart.

I would second the Miracle morning.  I would also try to get into or form a mastermind group for support and ideas.  Great thread by the way.  I am picking up ideas from all the posts.

As a rising Senior in college who just launched a Marketing Agency with an already successful Entrepreneur in Harrisonburg, VA this is exactly the stuff that I am also looking for. Time Management is obviously key, but finding how to optimize your plan to it's fullest potential is the real kicker. So far what I have found, is that anything which can disrupt my work flow should be placed around lunch time. Lunch Meetings, Networking, and Conference Calls all help me break up being at my desk for hours on end word-smithing for SEO and Adwords campaigns and be productive at the same time.I also have found that being creative or active for at least an hour in the evenings has been a huge help to me in getting my brain to shut up so I can sleep at night, as well as allow me to get a new perspective on the job-specific creative problems by giving me another, completely different creative or physical challenge.

In my mind, the important question is not "How do you work hard?" but rather "Why do you work hard?" Get crystal clear on the why and then you will have the motivation to figure out the how, but without a good solid why, no amount of how will ever add up to much. For example, my why is my kids ... my wife and I decided that the best thing for them was to have her be a stay at home mom and home school them. That means that I am the sole bread winner for the family, and though I make a decent living, without the extra income and net worth from REI this would not be possible to do in a financially responsible manner in the expensive area we live ... so, that's my why, and the how fell into place from there through a lot of hard work, which I am more than willing to do to give my kids the kind of life my wife and I want them to have. Everybody's why is different, highly personal, and is about more than just $$$; figure out what yours is and the rest will follow.

What was my driving force was eating up audio books to speed up the gaining knowledge process, in return I would gather my questions faster for more deeper research.

also all podcast/video-blogs from BP, listen to all of them until you start feeling a craving for a certain niche, then focus more on that new found hunger.
