Did you brush your teeth this morning?


I was lucky enough to go on holiday with my family earlier this month.

We traveled to Cuba for a handful of days.

Beautiful country.

Not-so-beautiful economy (but that’s a story for another day).

However, something happened when we got to Cuba.

I was so tired from traveling that ended up falling asleep without brushing my teeth.

(Stick with me, this is relevant.)

Obviously isn’t too big of a deal.

…but I couldn’t help thinking of the importance of the habit of brushing your teeth every single day.

I like to think my teeth are fairly white (at least my dentist tells me I have nothing to worry about.

Here’s the thing — my teeth aren’t white because of luck.

I brush my teeth every day.

I go to the dentist for my regular checkups.

And if my dentist tells me I need a crown or anything like that, I get it done.

Bottom line: I’m giving myself the best possible chance of not only having white, healthy teeth…but keeping them.

Nobody ever wants yellow rotten teeth.

And we all know the risks involved with not going to the dentist or brushing your teeth.

Brushing your teeth just makes sense.

You won’t find yourself in your twilight years thinking “Man, I wish I hadn’t brushed my teeth all those years…”

There’s no real ‘cost’ in brushing your teeth.

Yet doing so protects you from a very painful visit to the dentist.

The catch is you have to brush your teeth, daily.

You can’t brush them once your teeth are already rotten and expect things to be okay.

Later on, I realized this is a great analogy for the habits of highly productive professionals.

Just like brushing your teeth every day protects you from rotten teeth. The right habits give you the opportunity for highly productive days and weeks — and for major success.

…but It’s important we take common-sense precautions ahead of time.

Everyone has the same rolling 24 hour clock…including your competitors.

It’s what you do with your time that matters.

It’s the habits you’re building.

That’s what drives high productivity and successful weeks and careers — your habits.

My question is: Are you brushing your teeth?

“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...

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...
