The way most people work is from an ancient age.

The idea that working longer and harder makes you more productive and better is outdated.

It comes from the era when most workers toiled on a factory line. And by putting in more hours they would create more products.

For creative professionals versus manual laborers, you get rewarded—not by the length of time you put in but by the degree of mastery that you put out.

My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.

So the old model of working is let's work harder and get more done. The old model of producing is she or he who works the longest leads the field. Well, that model comes from the industrial age when we were factory workers. So if we worked longer in the factory, we would produce more widgets. Well, we live in a completely different world right now. And it's not how long you work. Here's the most important thing, the quality of your genius that you bring to your hours. I've worked with billionaires. I've worked with NBA, NFL, NHL superstars. And here's what I've taught them. The model is called the Twin Cycles of Elite Performance. Rather than it being all about working longer, work much more intelligently. To be specific, don't work like a marathoner. Work like a sprinter. In other words, the greatest business people, creatives, producers, work in sprints of intense focus and energy, and then they pull back and they recover. And then they come back and work in another intense burst of their greatest work all in, and then they recover.
