Worst Entrepreneur Moment

Grant’s driving purpose in life was to achieve X. Once he did, he felt empty and depressed. Looking back it’s pretty clear why… as Earl Nightingale’s great quote says, ‘Success and happiness is the gradual realization of a worthy ideal.’ As humans we thrive on goals, Fire Nation; always have that next one lined up!

Entrepreneur AH-HA Moment

Grant’s AH-HA came while having a conversation on a beach in Thailand with a fellow Entrepreneur who PayPal’d him a pre-order for a course that came out of that very conversation. Talk about proof of concept!

Grant’s Routines

Note: These are very extensive routines that involve quite a bit of time, but they work

really well for me for maintaining balance, focus, and motivation.

Upon waking (in my apartment):

1. JUMP out of bed and put on music – usually 8tracks.com or Hardwell

2. Drink 500 ml of water and prepare coffee with coconut oil

3. 5 minute posture exercise routine (with decompression breathing) –

4. Drink and prepare health shake for the day (combination of greens, healthy oils, raw

cacao, vegetable protein powders (allergic to whey), etc.)

5. One Headspace app exercise

6. 5 min journal app – https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/5-min-journal/id822934482?mt=8

Go to Office/Coffee Shop

In my first work place (1 more amazing hours):

1. Read my goals, and envision their completion for a couple minutes

2. Ask myself: 1) how can I 10-100x something (anything) in my life or business right

now? 2) What is my #1 priority for the day

3. Read, learn, or play around with anything I’d like 30 minutes (often my favorite part of

the day)

4. Write for 20 minutes http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/why-it-s-worth-making-time-

for-this-lengthy-morning-ritual.html

5. Go through to-do list, and delegate as much as possible (to my team, Fancyhands,

agencies I hire, etc.)

6. Quickly organize my personal work into 25 min pomodoros

4-6 Hours Core Work

Winding down from work:

1. Organize projects for next day (to hit the ground running upon waking)

2. Ask myself: how can I 10-100x something (anything) in my life or business right now?

3. Read my goals, and envision their completion for a couple minutes

4. Commit a random act of kindness (ex. positive email or message praising or helping

someone) – https://youtu.be/fLJsdqxnZb0

Winding down for sleep:

1. Check off coach.me habits on the app

2. One Headspace app exercise

3. 5 min journal app – https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/5-min-journal/id822934482?mt=8

Once per month – learning retreat

About one weekend per month I try to get away from wherever I live and work to a secluded

nature-centered location to read, reflect, learn, and reassess life. The inspiration for this

comes from Bill Gates’ annual “Think Week” http://lifehacker.com/5670380/the-power-of-

time-off however I find a monthly experience of a shorter duration more sustainable and

effective for myself.
