[BFG #17] 80/20 principle for productivity


Happy Saturday.

I’m getting ready to go on a road trip next week.

>>>Get 50% off The 7 Habits of Highly Productive Professionals right now

And I’m excited to announce the winners today.

The fastest buyer — Mikel T.

The random buyer — Illyana C.

Congratulations to both of you. I’ll send you the prize instructions soon.

As for now, here’s a reminder of what’s happening:

  • Every day for the next week or so, I’ll be unveiling a different rare or hard to find product from my catalog
  • You’ll get 1 email a day about one of my products. It will be live for 24 hours. After that, you’ll get a new email with a new offer.

And we, of course, have prizes involved…

  • For every offer, the person who buys the fastest gets a special bonus (something currently impossible to buy) 100% free.
  • For every offer, I’ll also pick a random person who buys to get a special bonus (something currently impossible to buy) 100% free.
  • And when the games are finished the person who bought the most offers gets everything they didn’t buy 100% free.

Let’s get into today’s games.


Back in July of this year, something really “clicked” for me.

For the last 12 years, I’ve been building productivity systems. Working with some highly productive people along the way, too.

Something became crystal clear about what has driven the vast majority of results — not just for me…but for my clients too.

As they say: “Success leaves clues.”

It has to do with the 80/20 principle.

(Richard Koch wrote a book on this. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend you do so.)

This principle applies to everything in the world.

Here’s what it means:

80% of all outcomes are derived from 20% of causes.

Here are some examples:

  • 20% of customers drive 80% of sales within a business.
  • 20% of drivers cause 80% of all traffic accidents.
  • 20% of habits drive 80% of productive weeks.

That last one is important.

And you may wonder, “What are those habits?”

That’s what today is about.

>>>Get the 7 habits of highly productive professionals now (50% off)

Among the most productive people I’ve met…and reflecting on my most productive ventures…I’ve found it all boils into 7 habits.

7 habits, that if done every week, will “seal the deal” on progress made that week.

They force the needle forward.

And they’re all covered inside:

The 7 Habits of Highly Productive Professionals

If you’re someone who attempts to stay productive, don’t let this slip by casually.

I don’t say that lightly.

These habits are what will give you a productive week after week.

Which equates to more money, freedom, and profits for you and your family.

You’ll get a 1 hour workshop and supporting templates for each habit.

“I think I need to take more sales calls.” I told my girlfriend. She said, “Why?” “You hate doing them. So why do them? How can you get more clients without taking calls?” She goes on. And that was it. My hand smacks my forehead. My lightbulb moment. Why would I force myself into something I dread? Especially when I could focus on a better way. A way that felt natural to me. A way that wouldn’t burn me out. A way that would be more profitable for me in the long term. A way that actually built...

Selling doesn’t mean sitting on hours of sales calls. Too many coaches get this wrong. And it causes them pain, wasted time and wasted profit. You can sell your high-ticket offer through simple conversations — chat and/or email. I’m hosting a workshop to show you exactly how. You will learn how to: Stop wasting hours on unqualified sales calls. Start selling with conversations that convert. Land your next 3 high-ticket clients using just a simple Google Doc. You will transition from burned...

Here’s my shameless last pitch for you for 2024: Re: The Everything Bundle Do you trust just any mechanic to work on your car? I’d hope not. It’s quite a big deal. Your life is at stake every time you enter that vehicle. To make a mistake could mean death. How about a mechanic who’s spent the last 10 years of his life ruthlessly and passionately studying the art of being a car mechanic? He invested thousands of dollars and hours in his craft. He even helped other small-time and big-time...
