4 Daily Steps To Create Insane Levels Of Focus, Confidence & Productivity

We all want to get to the end of the day and feel like we've W been productive. There's something about lying in bed and feeling great. Because we've done the things we said we were going to do vs. that feeling of laziness.

Developing super levels of performance doesn't have to be hard. But it does take a certain level of commitment and desire to be better. That's the common theme among the people who approach me. They have reached a mental turning point. They aren't getting the results they want and enough is enough.

So I'm going to assume that just like them, you're ready for change and you're ready to train. Train yourself out of the behavior and habits that don't support you. Get into the ones that can create massive, unquestionable momentum, if you're willing to take action. Because after all, that is the most important behavior that leads to success.

The steps I'm about to lay out aren't complicated. But when you put them together they work. They have worked consistently for the founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, Olympians and celebs that desire to be the best version of themselves. Understand that when you insert a new behavior, it takes time to build up into a habit and accountability plays a big part in that for many people.

1 The super sleep shift

I want to make one thing super clear. Your sleep is one of the most important focus points for optimization. I've started with it because it massively impacts how productive you are the following day. Getting a deep REM (rapid eye movement) sleep should be your focus because waking up rested vs. tired will impact so much of your behavior.
