My friend Russell Brunson is on his way to becoming a billionaire. In case you’re not familiar with Russell... He’s the co-founder of ClickFunnels and as Ron Burgundy would say... "He's kind of a big deal. People know him" And he recently shared a story which you’re going to love - especially if you have the Perfect Day Formula Kit... You see, a few years back one of my other clients Joe Polish dropped $25k to buy a kit for all of his 300 coaching clients And one of those clients just happened to be Russell. So Russell cracked open the kit… … started going through my life changing book The Perfect Day Formula. And he was blown away by the power of my schedule… “Craig gets up at 4 o’clock every morning and from 4 to 6:30 he writes. At 6:30 he does meditation and has breakfast, and an hour later he gets back and writes for another 2 ½ hours…. Then he has his stand up meeting with his company at 10:30. So by 10:30 in the morning, he has had 5 hours of focused energy time writing and doing what he needs to get done. And then the rest of his day is doing all the crap that normally we do in an office. He goes to bed at 8 every night.” Which felt like a stretch for Russell... He said… “At first I’m like - Dude, he is insane. Four in the morning? I will never in a billion, infinity, million years do that ever. It’s just not going to happen - because I don’t go to bed until 2 in the morning... I would die.” But Russell was fascinated with the idea of getting a block of focused work done first thing in the morning. And because he has 5 kids… He knew that wasn’t going to happen once they woke up for the day… Russell said: “But I thought - If I went to bed at midnight, would it work? Hmm, midnight to 4 is not enough... So I’m like what if I went to bed at 10? While that’s only six hours, that’s about how much sleep I get now... But what if I extended that. What if I go to bed at 10 o’clock and wake up at 5? I always tell people if I could do anything in the business all day, all I’d do is sit there and build funnels. But I rarely have time, just to sit there and build funnels… So I’m like, what if I made it so that 5am to 7am every morning is my funnel time? I don’t check emails, I don’t check Facebook or anything… All I’m allowed to do is build funnels and write copy and all the pieces I need to do to push funnels forward. I told my wife, “I’m going to bed, my goal is to go to sleep at 10.” [she] knows I typically don’t go to bed until 1 or 2. I woke up excited, walked into the other room, and built funnels from 5 to 7… And I tell you what, in my 2-hour morning so far… I’ve gotten as much work done as I typically do in an 8 hour day. I’m not stressed because I’ve already moved the business forward before the time my kids are awake… … now the rest of the day is just a bonus. It’s been amazing. So what I’m recommending is wake up an hour to two hours earlier and do some funnel time… … or whatever it is that you need to be doing more of in your business and your life. Spend that time there. I’m two days in, loving it and having a great time. I hope that you guys try it. I’m going to try to convince everyone I know to do this as well.” So going to bed at 8 and getting up at 4 wasn’t realistic for Russell. But he could see how valuable having that focused time in the morning would be to his business… So he figured out a schedule that worked for him. Because he knew he didn’t need to stay up until 1 or 2 am either. And that’s really what I want to impress upon you for your journey of personal growth… Find all the good habits, techniques and tactics you can. But in order to apply them and stay consistent… … you must determine how to realistically fit them into your life. You may have to make some sacrifices, some adjustments to make it work.
