I did some maths this morning. 🔢
This maths is more important than any exam question, any textbook question, because this single calculation sold me how much I am holding myself back from.
I'll spare giving you all the details, but there was one detail that honestly scared me. My "ideal" self would be working 12 hours a day given my current situation, I currently do 9 hours.
Oh, a 3 hour difference a day, no big deal, right?
No.❌
I was doing work inefficiently 🐢, I was guessing around 1/3 of what can be considered truly efficient.
That means I'm putting 3 hours of efficient work a day, and he was working 12.
That's a 9 hour daily difference. ⏲️
I multiplied it by the number of days a year, and took school into account, and concluded I would fall 2,000 hours behind every year against my ideal self.
⏰2000 HOURS!!!⏰
I'm working on my business, and in the context of my business, that amount of time is literally worth hundreds of thousands, the literal difference between financial freedom and financial slavery ⛓️. If I had worked at that rate, I would already be free.
In fact, in this holidays, if I had done the work, I would be making $1k or more 💸. I've earnt $30.
I really don't want all of you to fall into this same trap, so I'm going to give you 3 actionable steps for you to do RIGHT NOW!
- Do this calculation 🔢, see how much time you put into doing work that actually pushes you towards your goals, against what is ideal. Be brutal with what is considered "efficient"
- Figure out how much that is with regards to progress
- After you know what to do, fix your timetable and get back to work! 😈
Quick tip:
Output = Input * Leverage
Input is something that has an upper limit (there's only 24 hours a day)
Leverage is ROI and efficiency, and basically has no upper limit, USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
Hope this helps 🙂
