Are you overwhelmed with all the tasks on your plate?
Ever feel like you haven’t accomplished enough by 5pm — so you need to keep working late?
Don’t worry, you’re NOT alone.
Almost every entrepreneur and business owner struggles with this at some point.
The ones who figure out how to manage it are the ones who rise to the top…
Scaling their empires at breakneck speed and building their perfect life.
So to help you grow your wealth and success this year…
Over the next week or so, I’ll be sharing some simple, yet mind-blowingly effective strategies to maximize your productivity and get the most out of your working hours.
Whether you're just starting out or already on your way to 7-figures…
The secrets you’ll learn today and in my next few emails will be a valuable inside look into how millionaires stay productive.
To start things off, I want to introduce you to my friend Joel Marion.
Joel first hired me as a coach back in 2008, when he was a broke New Jersey high school teacher making $42,000 a year.
He had written a book, "Cheat Your Way Thin," and it was so successful it allowed him to quit teaching for a year.
But he quickly realized a book is not a business and that he’d have to build something more.
He knew he had to step things up if he wanted to create the life of wealth and freedom he so badly desired.
Now, the thing about Joel is he’s an absolute machine.
He’s a beast at writing copy, at solving problems, and just at executing in general.
But when he came to me, he was on a horrendous schedule and wasn’t attacking his work strategically.
Not making the best use of his time.
So when we built his millionaire productivity plan…
It was like taking a Formula One race car that’s stuck spinning its wheels in the mud… lifting it up… moving it ten feet over… setting it down on the track… and watching it take off at 200 mph.
So it’s not like I created his product or wrote his copy for him.
Joel did all that. He did all the work.
But the structure and systems I gave him allowed him to triple his output.
Three months after we put his plan in place he had a $300,000 product launch.
He was able to totally quit his teaching job…
And he hit 7-figures in just 12 months.
In the next five years he built a $100 million dollar supplement company.
Not bad for a gym teacher from Jersey.
So what does all this have to do with you?
Well if you're working crazy hours for mediocre results…
I want to pick you up out of the mud like that Formula One race car, and move you onto the track so you can take off at high speed just like Joel did.
That’s why the first productivity secret I’m going to share is planning — which we’ve already been talking about.
Excellent planning is the number one thing all millionaires have in place.
But most people go through life without any plan.
They don't have that straight line to success…
So they stray off on constant detours and bounce around all over the place.
They waste their energy and passion on trivial things… impulses… distractions…
Instead of protecting it and saving it for what matters.
In my book, The Perfect Day Formula, I outline an important vision:
In 2006 on the very first coaching call with my very first coach, he asked me…
“Craig what do you want your business to look like five years from now?”
And I told him I wanted to have a business like Early to Rise — the most popular health, wealth, and success newsletter at the time.
My coach, Tom said, “Yeah, man, I totally know that business but Craig, you're going to have to improve your speaking, your writing, your networking, your coaching, all these things, you're not actually very good at anything except being a fitness expert.”
So, I dedicated the next few years of my life to improving all those skills and becoming the high performer I needed to be.
And five years, three months and 17 days later…
I got the opportunity to buy Early to Rise, the exact business of my dreams. Which is how I’m able to share these success strategies and principles with you today.
I got to buy the business of my dreams because I followed my plan.
I knew what I wanted to achieve.
I made a detailed plan to get there.
And I executed on that plan every day.
You can do the same.
It just means sitting down and getting clear on what you want to accomplish — what really matters to you.
Determine what it would take to reach that goal…
And figure out what you can start doing right away.
If you want more of a deep dive for getting clear on your vision and creating your plan…

Anyway, that’s all for now.
Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of my emails this week and next…
Where I’ll be sharing more of the millionaire productivity secrets that allowed me to build five different 7-figure businesses…
And helped hundreds of my students create lives of abundant wealth and success.
Success Loves Speed,
Craig
