We are all guilty of being lazy at times and sometimes we’re not even lazy, we’re just doing things out of habit or instinct.
But today I am going to show you how to become highly productive and stop doing these four unproductive things that are killing your money and your business and I’ll show you how to start doing these 4 tasks instead.
Believe it or not, these four task will help you to make money in as little as 10 minutes per day.
It’s time to level up and become the best version of yourself
I want you to stop doing these four things, and I want you to start doing these four things. Oh yes, Coach CJ is back. You thought I was gone forever, didn't you? Well, there's no chance of that, because I've been around for a long time, baby, and I'm not going anywhere. So, wanted to give you guys a great break. I need a little break. Let's get back to it. Stop doing these four things and start doing these four things. There are four things that we all do that are absolute time wasters. They're not gonna produce you any money, they're not gonna help you at all, and man, you're just gonna be dying of slow death. So the top four you should not be doing are number one, stop that doom scrolling. What do they call it? Doom scrolling? Doom scrolling where you're just your thumbs are worn out from scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. Man, if there's such things as thumbs having miles on them, man, our thumbs would probably be an old car with 300,000 miles on them, and some of you guys will probably have a million miles. So stop all that doom scrolling. You know what I'm talking about. Scrolling on every social media platform, switching from Instagram, going to TikTok, coming back from TikTok, going back to Facebook, going for Facebook for an hour or two, then going back to LinkedIn and like, oh God, it's boring over here. Then you go back to YouTube and you do it. Stop it. Catch yourself. This is what I do all the time. I'm like, I'm scrolling and scrolling, and I say, CJ, what are you doing? How is this going to produce anything? How is this going to get you any groceries? How is this doom scrolling going to actually help you make any money for your family? How is this doom scrolling going to actually benefit anybody? And you are mindlessly doom scrolling, so stop it. That's what I tell myself. So why don't you tell yourself the same thing? Scrolling will get you nothing. Number two is checking emails. What are you checking emails for? Who are you waiting to see to hear from? Who who what are you looking to see? 99% of those emails mean absolutely nothing. Just other people advertising stuff and promoting things, and it's just like, okay, I'm just looking for this email. Oh my gosh, what a waste of absolute time. Tell yourself, stop it. Number three, watching videos. Oh yeah. Sometimes you just get on YouTube and just start watching these shorts. Short videos, short this, short that videos, scroll. Man, stop it. I have to. I'm watching like the fifth thing or the seventh thing or the tenth thing, and I'm like, okay, you think you've watched enough videos already, Coach CJ? Alright, good. Stop it. Get to work. Go do something that you need to be doing. Number four is texting dumb stuff. Man, sometimes I just show my wife, oh my gosh, you gotta show her this. Oh I got I gotta text her this. This is the dumbest. Oh my gosh, this is some stupid stuff. This is so funny. Look at that. But then I tell myself, okay, CJ, that's enough. Don't send the honey badger one more dumb thing. She's seen enough. Good Lord, you've been up for like 30 minutes, an hour, and then you've sent her 10 things, 12 things, 15 things. They're all dumb. They're all just dumb memes. And you think it's funny, she probably doesn't think it's funny. Okay, stop it. Now, what do you do instead? Instead, you need to be you tell yourself, stop it, when you're doing those four. And then you do four of these eight, what I call IPTs. Income producing tasks. Yeah, yeah. Income producing tasks, things that will actually make you money. I've got eight powerful ones, but I'm gonna give you four today. Number one, you do these instead. You tell yourself, stop. Number one is you're posting content. Now let me tell you the difference between scrolling for four hours and posting content, which will take you about 10 minutes or less. Do you know lately I've gotten the most views that I've gotten in a long time, the most views I've received. And you know what it's from? I may take out my little GoPro camera and I put it down and I film myself doing some push-ups. It might be for 30 seconds of working out. And then I stop it and I film myself another direction, another 30 seconds. And then all I do is I post it saying, hey, today I'm being disciplined, being focused, getting this new body together. And do you know that so many people are like saying, Oh wow, I like that. Now they're scrolling me instead of me scrolling them. You see the difference? Now those posts are gonna get me subscribers and likes and comments, and even some people are gonna reach out and say, Coach, man, I like your style. Coach, I love your discipline. Coach, I love what you're doing. They are attracted to me. And now I am absolutely getting money from doing something as simple as push-ups, or it could be that you're cooking a meal, or it could be that I film myself uh making coffee or the honey badger making coffee. It is content, and I might put a voiceover, like I'm doing right now, over the coffee. And I might put a voiceover over the push-ups, and I might give them a motivational speech, or I might tell them two tips to making money uh from anywhere, and I create content which takes me less than 10 minutes. But that comp that content that takes me less than 10 minutes, oh my gosh, making me money, tens of thousands of dollars, and eventually hundreds of thousands of dollars and even more just by posting content two times, three times a day. That, my friend, is an income-producing task or an IPT. Second thing you could do for an IPT is follow up. How many times have someone said last week, week before, let me talk to my spouse, let me think about it. Okay, I'll get back to you, follow up with me like in a week or two, and then you forget. Man, let me tell you something. I make more money sometimes in five minutes a day, ten minutes a day. Do you know what I do? Following up. So let's say I've got 10 people I need to follow up with. I'm laying in the bed or sitting on the couch watching a game, and I say, wait a minute, stop scrolling, Coach CJ, stop doing all that stupid stuff. Stop it. Follow up with three people. I'll follow up with three people, and I send them the link. Said, okay, okay, are you guys ready? You ready to get coaching? You're ready to get my course, you're ready to get my book. And then I send them the link, and one out of three people will usually say, Okay, I sent you the link. I sent you the payment, Coach CJ. And then ping, notification of payment. I worked for 10 minutes that day, and I might have made$500. Sometimes I made$1,000, sometimes I made$2,000 just from working 10 minutes a day. The final thing that you want to do for IPTs, no, that's not the final one, that's the third one, right? Okay, is connecting. Connect with the right people, connect with them, entrepreneurs, connect with other like-minded business owners. Just send out two or three or five connections a day. Just saying, hey, I like your style, I like what you're doing, I think we ought to be friends. Subscribe to my blah blah blah or Instagram. And man, just start making those connections. And finally, number four, referrals. I ask for referrals everywhere I go. Hey, I know this is not for you, but who do you know that this could benefit? Man, just asking two people for referrals has made me thousands, tens of thousands of dollars because their friend might say, you know what? You're absolutely right. You're absolutely correct. I need this. This is for my friend, this is for my mom. This is for my son. And so I'm asking for referrals. Who do you know that it is for? Now, I've given you four stopits and four IPTs. What are you going to do? Going forward, what are you going to do? Okay. So, guys, by the way, what took me so long is I'm adding additions to my Eagles Club. If you guys love this, you love all of this content, I've made over 205 so far of some of my greatest business mindset and uh self-esteem, self-growth nuggets. Man, and I I'm just getting started. I'm just getting warmed up. But what if there was a private club like our Eagles Club where you have a social media following? We are an Eagles community that would actually help subscribe you. They would subscribe to your social media accounts. They would actually give you likes, they would actually give you comments, they would actually, you know, instead of like getting one or two, you might get 10, 12, 15, or 30 or 50 from the Eagles community. You might have only 16 subscribers to your Instagram account. But because they know you're a fellow Eagle, they might be 30, 40, 50 that will subscribe. I'm telling you, this is going to be an addition to our Eagles community that is going to change your life. If you have not joined or if you opted out, man, let me encourage you. It's only like$29 a month. And if you got the special, ooh, then you know how much, you know, this is value. This is so valuable. But for$29 a month, seriously, guys, it is priceless.
