0:02 you know some people are a million years
0:04 ahead while it seems like you're stuck
0:06 in the slow lane although time has
0:08 passed your life hasn't changed that
0:10 much in The Last 5 Years and
0:12 realistically it's unlikely you'll catch
0:15 a break in the next five if you keep
0:17 going at the pace you are right now the
0:19 life you envision for yourself will just
0:22 be a wish you once had other people have
0:24 the same 24 hours in a day but somehow
0:26 they're getting substantially more done
0:29 than you are that's because they know
0:31 something you don't but you're about to
0:33 learn it by the end of this video you'll
0:35 learn how to make 5 years worth of
0:39 progress in just one here's how to make
0:43 progress faster in life Welcome to alux
0:44 the place where future billionaires come
0:45 to get
0:48 inspired number one you pick only one
0:51 goal and you brainwash yourself into
0:52 believing it's
0:55 achievable at the core of any form of
0:58 achievement is belief many people have
1:00 dreams and wishes that they know deep
1:02 down are not going to happen so they
1:04 default to luck and look okay luck is
1:06 not a strategy it doesn't have to be
1:09 believable to everyone else you have to
1:12 believe that you can get there Define it
1:15 clearly write it down look at the goal
1:18 daily to keep yourself locked in it
1:20 turns out that we as humans are actually
1:22 really good at getting what we want if
1:26 only we know what it is once a purpose
1:28 is set and a goal is defined every
1:30 choice you make should be aligned with
1:33 it the progress will come from getting
1:36 closer to the goal it'll probably not be
1:38 a linear path but make the decisions
1:41 that get you closer in any shape
1:43 proximity to it increases the chances of
1:46 you making it so get yourself closer
1:48 where most people fail and get stuck is
1:50 when they pick two goals that are in
1:53 opposite directions a step closer to one
1:55 of them will take you a step further
1:57 away from the other in a panic you take
2:00 a step back to remedy it you just made
2:02 two steps each one took effort both were
2:04 oriented towards your goals but if you
2:07 look at the map you're back to where you
2:09 started if there's one thing to remember
2:14 alexir it is this speed comes from Focus not
2:16 not
2:19 force number two find one source of
2:24 Truth research it and commit to it fully
2:25 you're smart enough to distinguish
2:27 between what has a higher probability of
2:30 success and what is clear
2:33 right okay so find a source of Truth
2:36 this means a voice a mentor an example
2:38 of someone who did what you're about to
2:41 do deconstruct their actions learn their
2:43 playbook and follow in the footsteps
2:45 that they've already made since their
2:48 actions led to your desired outcome
2:50 chances are that following the same
2:52 Playbook will at least help you to make
2:53 substantial progress in the right
2:57 direction don't change plans don't chase
3:00 after shortcuts just trust the process
3:04 and put your hours in the truth is most
3:06 plans are good enough plans if you just
3:09 stick with them for long enough where
3:12 most people fail or slow down in life is
3:14 they begin a plan and then decide to
3:17 change it partway through we got rich
3:18 because we were dumb enough to believe
3:21 everything we read in business books we
3:23 committed fully and it turns out those
3:25 people were
3:28 right number three you double the daily
3:31 effort for eight times s the outcome no
3:33 matter how dumb you are how poor you are
3:36 how unmotivated if you just double the
3:38 volume of daily effort you should see at
3:41 least a 50% increase in your results but
3:43 if you're really smart if you're excited
3:45 and you begin to acquire the right tools
3:47 if you double the effort something weird
3:50 happens the outcome doesn't double it's
3:52 increased four to eight times in the
3:55 medium term why because you have less
3:57 time to be distracted to waste your
4:00 resources on crap that doesn't contri to
4:04 your future effort compounds when you
4:06 reinvest the extra income you acquire
4:08 tools that now give you the same output
4:11 per hour as before but in only half the
4:14 time if you double your effort daily it
4:16 won't be long until you double your
4:19 hourly output double the output and
4:21 double the time you're now making
4:23 progress four times faster when you
4:26 approach life with this amount of volume
4:28 you'll learn twice as fast as everybody
4:31 else because you're encountering more
4:33 situations that is how doubling your
4:36 effort gets 8X the
4:39 results number four you remind yourself
4:41 what you run from and what you're
4:44 running toward just focusing on the
4:46 first three numbers on this list is
4:48 enough to get you some real progress
4:49 you'll see it in your bottom line and in
4:52 your bank account because you've made
4:54 some progress you'll begin to slow down
4:57 when you slow down Temptation Creeps in
4:59 shiny objects will try to lure you away
5:02 from from your past getting back on the
5:04 horse is a lot harder than never getting
5:06 off that horse in the first place so you
5:09 need an easy and effective way to
5:10 self-motivate that's when you remind
5:13 yourself what the big goal is what
5:16 you're running toward you visualize what
5:18 your life will be like when you get
5:21 there the impact it'll have on your life
5:23 and into the lives of those you love
5:25 this gives an initial push but not
5:28 enough to get you lift off to drive this
5:30 home you dig deep into yourself and you
5:33 realize what you're running from what
5:35 your life would be like if you don't
5:38 take action that everything you know you
5:40 can become will never come to be you
5:42 will live your life with the regret and
5:44 disappointment of never becoming what
5:47 you knew you could be your peers will
5:49 move on your Idols will get further and
5:51 further and you will sink into
5:54 mediocrity as a result you'll become
5:56 bitter and angry at the world finding
5:59 excuses and blaming everyone else but
6:01 you're yourself your family and friends
6:03 will start to resent you for it and
6:06 you'll find it painful to just be you
6:09 spiraling down in that case the only
6:10 value you'll add to the world is that
6:12 your children will grow up with your
6:14 failure as an example of what not to do
6:17 in life that's what you're running from
6:18 that's the difference between getting
6:21 back to work to make your dreams happen
6:23 and simply not taking action at
6:27 all number five win the day before the
6:29 day starts
6:31 now there are two kinds of people in the
6:33 world those who Wing the day and those
6:36 who plan the day those who plan the day
6:38 outperform the rest on every metric
6:41 possible by a massive margin okay those
6:43 who plan the day are more productive
6:45 they get more done in a day they're
6:47 exponentially more likely to find
6:49 long-term success in their professional
6:51 and personal life they're better
6:53 adjusted and emotionally stable they're
6:55 less likely to be depressed anxious or
6:58 feel lost and they achieve much higher
7:01 levels of work life balance what
7:04 planning does is remove friction from
7:07 your life so here's a simple example
7:09 it's easier to go for a run in the
7:11 morning if you get your shoes and outfit
7:14 ready by the door the night before if
7:15 everything is set up for you to just do
7:17 it you're less likely to chicken out or
7:20 find an excuse not to this is your
7:22 routine and the discipline to schedule
7:25 the day the night before is a game Cher
7:27 you no longer have to fight against that
7:29 little voice in your head because once
7:31 you're out that door you might as well
7:34 run right you might as well work out you
7:36 might as well get some work done you
7:39 might as well read or write those pages
7:42 start with focusing your mind if your
7:44 mind knows what it should focus on that
7:48 little voice quiets down a lot so do the
7:50 hardest thing you can early in the day
7:52 if you can already win the day before
7:54 11:00 a.m. everything else you do will
7:58 be extra progress this is called eating
8:00 the Frog you know what actually moves
8:02 the needle forward and what are just
8:04 maintainers uploading a new product to
8:07 your store is superior to just checking
8:10 in on the numbers or answering emails
8:13 pay off your dues before everything else
8:15 the experts call this time blocking
8:17 where you begin to segment your day in
8:19 time slots specifically dedicated to
8:22 action items we start every day with a
8:24 coffee and a daily alock session and
8:26 immediately after we jump head first
8:28 into the highest priority task that
8:31 we've selected the day before this is
8:33 how we win the morning in the first half
8:35 of our day by the time 1 p.m. rolls
8:37 around we've already shipped or
8:38 delivered what most people would
8:41 consider a day's worth of work from 1:
8:43 to 6:00 p.m. anything that we weren't
8:45 able to ship or get done will just
8:47 accelerate our progress and we can give
8:49 it our Focus because we no longer have
8:52 the pressure of the big thing looming
8:55 over us 6 to 8 is family time
8:57 religiously for over a decade before we
9:00 plann the day and week before
9:02 the biggest problem is you'll be so
9:03 productive that at some point you'll
9:05 struggle to find high priority tasks to
9:07 tackle in the first half of the day you
9:09 can make yourself happier by keeping a
9:11 gratitude journal and reflecting on what
9:14 you're learning learn specific skills or
9:16 techniques from experts who've spent
9:18 their entire lives perfecting their
9:20 craft it takes 15 minutes in the morning
9:22 to get all of this set up in a way where
9:24 you dramatically increase your chances
9:27 of success so much so that we created
9:30 the only app designed to do just that
9:32 go to alo.com slapp right now and
9:34 download it every morning when you have
9:37 your coffee or tea open up the app and
9:39 go through it for 15 minutes listen to
9:42 The Daily alux write down four lines in
9:43 your journal for people who just want
9:45 the benefits of journaling without all
9:48 the nonsense and then get back to work
9:49 hundreds of thousands of people are
9:51 living proof that this app has been a
9:54 game Cher for them so it's time you did
9:57 the same step one download the app and
10:00 create an account step two scan the QR
10:03 code on screen for an exclusive 25% off
10:06 the yearly plan and commit to a year of
10:09 focus step three use it every morning
10:11 with your coffee and just see how much
10:14 faster you're making progress in life
10:16 this is an investment you will not
10:20 regret number six have an action bias
10:24 and a speed bias action beats intellect
10:26 when the clock is ticking you'll learn
10:29 more by doing than by thinking speed
10:32 need amplifies learning to this extent
10:36 done is better than perfect done builds
10:38 momentum perfectionism keeps you in the
10:41 same place the path to success is paved
10:43 by action not
10:46 hesitation successful people all operate
10:49 with a sense of urgency this is
10:51 important even if they have to
10:53 artificially manufacture it if you make
10:55 yourself believe that your life depends
10:58 on you getting things done your output
11:01 changes okay speed thrives on
11:04 imperfection the urgency you bring
11:05 defines how quickly you'll transform
11:08 your life successful people have a speed
11:11 bias we learned an incredible lesson
11:13 from a billionaire mentor of ours when
11:15 we were discussing growth goals for our
11:16 company and telling them about our
11:19 three-year road map he listened quietly
11:21 thought it through and then asked the
11:24 question that has changed the way we
11:26 work what would it take to make all of
11:30 that happen in only 6 months this forced
11:32 us to think radically different we would
11:34 need more people more money and to
11:36 accelerate the speed of learning by
11:40 failing faster speed might be expensive
11:42 but it's worth it when it saves you time
11:45 for as time passes the opportunity you
11:47 have right now might not be available 2
11:49 years from now this is why Silicon
11:52 Valley companies raise money so they can
11:55 make 10 years worth of progress in 18
11:57 months and mitigate that risk of the
12:00 opportunity disappearing before you have
12:01 a chance to
12:05 act number seven you stop looking at
12:08 others or after others as long as you
12:10 live you'll always be a race of one
12:12 you're racing against the failure that
12:15 you could become if you stopped running
12:17 it's not about anyone else they don't
12:19 matter you don't need the approval of
12:21 your peers because they are not your
12:24 peers you need to build a sense for
12:27 distractions an ability to identify them
12:30 for what they are to untrained eye these
12:32 might present themselves as
12:34 opportunities but most opportunities are
12:37 just distractions in Disguise okay once
12:39 you stop comparing yourself to others
12:41 you need the bandwidth to focus on
12:44 yourself you get it by taking your
12:46 bandwidth back from the people who took
12:49 it in the first place a sinking ship can
12:52 save no one so fix your damn ship okay
12:55 make yourself strong let them carry
12:57 their own weight for a while and then
13:01 save them when you're ready if you don't
13:04 they'll just drown you number eight you
13:07 don't quit things at
13:10 60% so you start something you put in a
13:12 couple of weeks and you made some
13:15 progress you're 50 to 60% into something
13:17 that might change the game for you at
13:21 which point for whatever reason you quit
13:24 all the effort you've put in is now lost
13:26 the ROI on that time effort and money
13:29 invested is zero okay not
13:32 sure keep lying to yourself that you've
13:34 actually learned a lot but you haven't
13:37 have you unless you ship it go live with
13:40 it or stick with it you've wasted the
13:42 opportunity and it kills us when this
13:45 happens you find a potential great
13:47 higher the first interview goes well the
13:49 same with the second or the third when
13:51 things are about to get serious you
13:53 unearth a massive red flag that you know
13:55 makes them a bad fit long term so you
13:58 end it all of that time and effort put
14:01 in is w Ed the only thing you can do now
14:03 is to try again until you're able to get
14:06 to that Finish Line whatever you do
14:08 don't make it a habit of quitting at 60%
14:11 or else you'll always be stuck right
14:12 where you
14:16 are number nine get off the platforms
14:19 you don't need the news or distractions
14:21 there's nothing for you on Instagram or
14:24 Facebook Twitter TV twitch or the black
14:26 and orange your life will be measurably
14:28 better without you trapped in the new cycle
14:29 cycle
14:32 the secret to speed isn't more effort
14:35 it's less noise removing that Doom
14:37 scrolling from your life will reveal
14:38 just how much of unproductive time
14:40 you're used to wasting with nothing to
14:43 show for it very soon you'll realize
14:45 you've been monetizing or at least
14:48 enjoying less than 20% of your available
14:51 time everything else was just you idling
14:53 away with no
14:56 purpose number 10 if someone else knows
14:59 how to get there faster pay them to show
15:03 you how to do it you accelerate a lot
15:05 when you go from hiring people that you
15:08 can grow to hiring people who are
15:10 already grown you can go from hiring
15:14 cheaply to hiring for specific expertise
15:15 per unit of time you're getting
15:18 substantially more with the lad they
15:20 don't need to be employees they just
15:21 need to have the expertise to see the
15:23 things you're missing that's what
15:25 experts are
15:27 for they've done exactly what you're
15:29 trying to figure out so they seen all
15:31 the mistakes that you're about to make
15:34 firsthand we used to pay $5,000 a month
15:36 to a mentor that could be a second set
15:38 of eyes looking at the decisions we were
15:40 making just so we could increase our hit
15:43 rate we realized just how valuable this
15:45 is and how most people have nowhere near
15:47 that kind of money to have someone show
15:50 them the way like we did so we started
15:52 paying experts a lot of money to share
15:54 the same kind of insights they've
15:56 learned the hard way with a closed
15:59 community of subscribers to the alux app

16:12 you'll have a portfolio of teachers
16:14 coaching you and you know we're not

16:33 app at alux.com slapp and get yourself a
16:37 subscription we'll see you on the
16:40 inside number 11 you remove your
16:42 expectations of instant achievement and
16:47 no matter what you trust the process the
16:49 first week you hit the gym you see no
16:51 results right you get tired everything
16:54 hurts there's no sixpack in sight but
16:56 you know that if you just keep this up 6
16:58 to 12 months from now things will start
17:00 to look whole lot better not only will
17:02 you be consistent in a process that you
17:05 know works if you just keep going it'll
17:07 bleed into the rest of your life you'll
17:09 start eating better so you don't
17:11 compromise the effort you're making
17:13 you'll sleep better feel better your
17:16 brain will be sharper before you know it
17:18 it'll feel as natural as if it was
17:20 always a part of your schedule once you
17:23 see results you'll be addicted you'll
17:25 start optimizing your workouts and
17:28 perfect your techniques you'll make real
17:30 progress and and know when you've had a
17:32 great day the exact same thing happens
17:36 in business and life stop dismissing
17:38 something as if it's not working just
17:39 because you went to the gym once and you
17:41 don't have a six-pack doesn't work that
17:45 way okay put your head down and do it
17:48 daily check back in in 6 months and then
17:50 see how you're
17:54 doing number 12 you build and constantly
17:56 optimize the machine that gets you what
17:59 you want there are two ways to get from
18:03 point A to point B one you walk that's
18:06 what having a job usually is two you
18:09 build a machine that takes you there if
18:11 you don't want to go far walking will do
18:13 the trick just fine but if your goals
18:15 are beyond that Horizon over there you
18:18 need to build something depending on
18:21 your goals it'll be a bike a car a train
18:24 a plane or a rocket a bike is like a
18:27 bakery where you're the main Chef a car
18:29 is a small business where you have a
18:32 handful of employees with you a train is
18:35 a big Regional business a plane is an
18:38 international business and a rocket is a
18:41 unicorn that changes the world now every
18:43 category has been previously built by
18:45 somebody else so you know it's possible
18:47 and you have an understanding of how
18:50 difficult building each part will be
18:51 what we're about to tell you is
18:54 incredibly important okay so pay
18:56 attention in your early days of building
18:58 your machine you'll feel like you're not
19:01 making much progress actually the people
19:03 walking will be further along than you
19:06 are but once the wheels are mounted on
19:08 your thing the engine is running and
19:09 you've got the steering wheel in your
19:12 hands you'll pass them in the blink of
19:15 an eye okay in the long term the worst
19:18 car will still get you further than the
19:20 best walk once you've got a machine
19:23 built small tweaks to it will make a lot
19:26 of difference you get the right tires
19:28 the right kind of fuel you swap out the
19:29 parts that don't work the way they
19:33 should keep optimizing the little things
19:36 for big results recently we've increased
19:38 the conversion from our funnel from 5%
19:42 to 6% by just tweaking the onboarding
19:45 process 1% might not seem like much to
19:47 you but it's actually a 20% jump in
19:50 people trying our product it was a lot
19:51 easier for us to optimize our
19:54 conversions by 1% than it would have
19:56 been to increase the volume of people
19:59 hearing about the product by another 20%
20:02 plus if you do the optimizations first
20:05 the returns stack up on top of all future
20:07 future
20:11 efforts number 13 twice as long but done
20:13 by others is better than doing it
20:16 yourself one of the biggest mistakes
20:18 amateurs make is they think progress is
20:21 linear like a straight line from point A
20:24 to point B yeah okay not really in
20:26 reality progress is more
20:28 three-dimensional and you measure it in
20:32 volume and volume can be layered so to
20:34 use the prior example this is what
20:37 walking or riding a bike is like instead
20:39 of doing that this is how you can make
20:41 the same kind of progress in a fraction
20:44 of the time and by the way this is
20:46 called aat chart and this is how you're
20:48 supposed to track all of your ongoing
20:51 efforts in your company amateurs will
20:53 say you can't juggle more tasks at the
20:55 same time but the pros know they can
20:58 hire people to do the boring Parts while
21:00 they work on those tasks that can't be
21:03 outsourced you don't need to be a genius
21:06 to move fast you just need to Outsource
21:09 wisely progress that you don't have to
21:12 create yourself is the Holy Grail of
21:16 growth once you find it you will never go
21:17 go
21:21 back number 14 you surround yourself
21:24 with faster Runners your heart sets the
21:26 pace you're moving slowly because you're
21:30 surrounded by slow Runners even if
21:32 you're faster than your current Circle
21:33 you're still leaving a lot of
21:35 availability on the table the fastest
21:38 way to level up is to join a group of
21:41 faster runners in the business world
