• We have to change our Pictures!

• How you see it is how you will treat it!

Seeing is _________

I would visualize things coming to me. It

would just make me feel better.

Visualization works if you work hard.

That’s the thing, you can’t just visualize

and then go eat a sandwich.Jim Carey

Losers visualize the penalties of failures.

Winners visualize the rewards of success.William S. Gilbert

With every experience you alone are

painting your own canvas, thought by

thought, choice by choice.Oprah Winfrey

• Your belief is based on what you have determined is TRUE. The problem is that most people base their truth on circumstantial truth or truth from their own experience as opposed to an ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

• Experiential truth is based on a persons experiences. “My experience has shown me that ____ is true.” This will always limit you!

• Unfortunately, we fall prey to limiting our life to fit our beliefs rather than changing our BELIEFS to align with the Truth of our destiny.

How Do I Change My Beliefs?

The Truth will set you free, but first it will

piss you off.Joe Klaas, Twelve Steps to Happiness

“Most people don’t suffer from being overworked… they suffer from being under-organized.”

Lee Cockerell – Executive VP of Operations for Disney Hotels and Resorts

The Daily Steering

WheelFour Easy Steps To Move From “To Do” to “To Done”

70% of employees work beyond scheduled time and on weekends; more than half cited "self-imposed pressure" as the reason. Society for Human Resource Management, Spring 2009

“I have always been waiting for the energy to be motivated to manage my time. Now I’ve found that it’s the management that BRINGS THE MOTIVATION.” Elliott Yinger, Local Network Solutions

STEP #1 – Print Off A Your Daily

Schedule“Most people actually use

60% or less of available

work time. When more than

38,000 people in 200

countries were queried about

individual productivity, it

showed that even though

they were physically at work

five days a week, they were

only productively using

three days.” Microsoft

Survey, March 15, 2005

“The best way to

predict the future is to

create it.”

Peter Drucker, The man who

invented Management!

STEP #2 – Write Out Your To-Do List

“Clarity comes with simplicity.”Brendon Buchard, Author of The Millionaire Messenger

“28% of Americans interviewed in 2008 said they had been spending less time with household members. They reported an average of 18 hours a month spent with family.” Annenberg Center for the Digital Future, University of Southern California, June 2009

“Our office was so disorganized. The phones were out of control. Our meetings were unproductive. Clay, The Steering Wheel System has changed all of this. Now each person in our office carries their Wheel ‘IN THEIR HANDS’ to every meeting and throughout the day. Our productivity has gone up over 47% this last month!” Ann Anderson, Accel Property Management

“The key is not to prioritize

what's on your schedule, but

to schedule your priorities.”

Stephen Covey

Set An Allotted Time For Each

“To Do” To Be Completed

“Most of us spend too

much time on what is

urgent and not enough

time on what is

important.”

Stephen Covey, Author

of Seven Habits Of

Highly Effective People

STEP #3 – Put Your To-Do’s On Your

Daily Schedule

Print Out Your Daily Schedule

So You Can Have It In Your

Hands!!!

Very Important

Step!

“Clay, I didn’t believe you at first. I wanted to keep all of my time management tools on my phone. But after two weeks of getting it to paper and holding it in my hands each day, I am now A BELIEVER! I feel so much more confident that I’m moving forward each day.” Kersten Anderson, SpeakEasy Marketing

The Steering Wheel Keeps You

On The Road Each Day!!!

“Your ‘To Do’s’ must get on to your daily schedule to ensure they move to ‘To Done’!” Clay Staires, Growth Expert, and All-Around Nice Guy

• High Emotion

• No Value

• Worker Mindset

• Emphasis on what

YOU can do.

Nothing will work unless

you do.

Maya Angelou

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the

troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes…the ones

who see things differently – they’re not fond of rules…You can

quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the

only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change

things…they push the human race forward, and while some may

see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones

who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world,

are the ones who do.

STEVE JOBS

An entrepreneur is someone who works 23 hours a day for

themselves to avoid working one hour a day for someone else.

ENTREPRENEUR MAGAZINE, 6/27/14

There is no such thing as work/life balance. There are only

work/life choices.

LEE COCKERELL, FORMER LEADER OF WALT DISNEY

Signs of Overwork

• Signs of overwork

• You bring your work with you everywhere!

• You don’t delegate well. Or if you do, you end up taking

it back because it’s not right.

• You worry about small, unimportant details. Yes, you

obsess!

• You put off the hard things because you just don’t have

time

• You haven’t prioritized so everything is a priority.

Signs of Overwork

• 25% of entrepreneurs log more than 60 hours a week. Inc.

Magazine, April 2006

• 70% also worked at least one weekend on a regular basis.

Poll from readers of New York Enterprise Report

•53% of American workers are burned out and overworked.

Market Watch, 6/30/2015

•60% of workers use their cell phones to check in with work

outside of normal work hours.

Huffington Post 6/6/2016

• Ok, work is stressful and time consuming…BUT IS IT

GETTING YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO??

• How do we scale this next wall and break out of this trap??

Business Model

• High Execution

• Proven Systems

• Mentorship

• Expanded Leadership

Mindset

Most entrepreneurs are merely technicians with an

entrepreneurial seizure. Most entrepreneurs fail because you

are working IN your business rather than ON your business.

MICHAEL GERBER

Over the last few days we have had a million fires at my work. I

found myself doing daily work to help the group catch up. I

realized that I was doing a task that had previously been fulfilling

to do all day long. Now there has been a mindset change. The

entire time I was saying to myself, “I need to be working on the

business, not doing this.” It was definitely an AHA moment.

DR. KYLE TATE, OWNER, INSIGHT EYE CARE

Execution is the key to unlock your freedom!

Welcome to the beauty of a Franchise!

Mature Business

• High Experience

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment

JIM ROHN

Time for a Break

• Conversations

• What are you hearing?

• What are your 3 TUF’s?

• What has your experience been

with systems?

• Who is doing real well in an area

where you’re doing poorly?

• What are you going to DO about

it?

I’m going to go pee. If the universe is bigger and stranger than I

can imagine, it’s best to meet it with an empty bladder.

JOHN SCALZI, OLD MAN’S WAR

S – Systems Driven

C – Checklist Dependent

A – Accountability Focused

L – Learnable and Trainable

E – Executable By All

SCALE or FailThe Path to Your Future of Freedom

• Life happens and if YOU are holding up everything, when life happens to you, all the other things

crumble.

• You must build systems!

• But what if I'm the only one who knows how to do it?– DEVELOP A CHECKLIST OF WHAT YOU DO!

• Eventually delegate this checklist to someone that can do it as well as you or better.

• You must believe that there will be someone in your future that you can delegate to. You must

keep the big picture in mind! Eventually you will find that person!

• Who do I delegate to?

– Trust? Trustworthy... Yes! Trustworthy first, then trust.

– Diligence tests at the beginning. Look for character.

– But if you don't have systems to delegate, you won't have what you need to equip people to

help you.

Systems Driven

If your business depends on you, you don’t have a business,

you have a job, and it’s the worst job in the world, because

you’re working for a lunatic!

MICHAEL GERBER, E-MYTH

Ask yourself, what are the areas of my business where I can

improve my business systems.

•accounting

• respond to emails

•answer phones

• saving time on computer

• dress code

• respond to people

• equipment use

• recruiting people

• hiring people

• sales calls

• closing deals

Pick One Area to Focus On

Checklist Dependent

The volume and complexity of what we know has exceeded our

individual ability to deliver its benefits correctly, safely, or reliably.

Good checklists are precise. They are efficient, and to the

point…

ATUL GAWANDE, THE CHECKLIST MANIFESTO

Human failure is from:• Ignorance - You don’t know what you don’t know.• Ineptitude - Where knowledge is applied inconsistently or incorrectly.

Checklist Dependent

“We don’t like checklists. They can be painstaking. They’re not much fun. But I don’t think the issue here is

mere laziness. There’s something deeper, more visceral going on when people walk away not only from

saving lives but from making money. It somehow feels beneath us to use a checklist, an embarrassment. It

runs counter to deeply held beliefs about how the truly great among us—those we aspire to be—handle

situations of high stakes and complexity. The truly great are daring. They improvise. They do not have protocols and checklists. Maybe our idea of heroism needs updating.”

ATUL GAWANDE, THE CHECKLIST MANIFESTO: HOW TO GET THINGS RIGHT

• Surgeons will forget critical steps• Don't forget the easily forgettable things.• Four Step Checklist for Central Lines

The nurses were strict, the doctors toed the line, and within one year the central line infection rate in the Hopkins I.C.U. had dropped from 11 percent to zero. Two years after the checklist was introduced, Dr. Pronovost calculated, it had prevented 43 infections, avoided 8 I.C.U. deaths and saved the hospital approximately $2 million.

• Rules in games... referee says you can't do that! Keeps you accountable to rules.

• Checklists will hold you accountable to specific tasks and sequences.

• Sense of urgency!! Accountability supports Urgency!

• The 4 E’s– Energy

– Energize

– Execution

– Edge

• The 3 T’s– Train

– Transfer

– Terminate

• Merit Based Pay idea!– They pay based on results not on time! It forces accountability!

– Design a merit based pay system you can use that forces accountability.

– Pay $10? cut to $8.50 and I'll give you $11 if you turn in your checklist each day.

Accountability Focused

Learnable and Trainable

Good management consist of showing average

people how to do the work of superior people.

JOHN D ROCKEFELLER

•Rockefeller discovered over time that he could only do so much. He had to teach a

group of people to do things as well as him! He taught average people to do superior

work.

•Break down your complex systems into the most basic steps, like recipes for cookies. –Be specific.

–What kind of flour and what brand of butter? Be specific!

•Then make sure there isn't any "jargon" in it.–All companies have jargon!

–MOB?

–Mother of the Bride - wedding videos

•Write it out! Learnable and Trainable for everyone! –Don't abbreviate. It makes it harder!

• It's fun to have lingo, but others won't understand it.

•Video Training? How to do things on the computer.

Learnable and Trainable

• If you have a big vision but don't execute it, you're just hallucinating!

• Everyone has to be able to do these basic steps!

• Gotta be Duplicable and Scalable.

• And it must duplicate quickly.• Build a system where people

with the highest integrity but lowest skill can be successful.

Executable by All

Vision without execution is hallucination.

DON STAIRES

Executable by All

• Duplicate yourself!! • Increase your capacity to process greater complexity. Clone Yourself!•There will always be things that ONLY YOU CAN DO. But that can’t include something you can pay someone else to do!• Ask yourself - in what ways are my systems not executable by ALL? Make a list• Schedule time to work on your business AND in your business. • 5 days IN your business and one day ON it!
