Waching daily Jul 2 2018

Hi, I'm Olivia, and today's Happy Nugget! comes from Bruce Willis, the American actor,

producer and musician most famous for his iconic role as the no nonsense cop John McClane

in the hit action movie "Die Hard" and its various sequels.

Bruce Willis has appeared in over 60 films and is one of the highest grossing actors

of all time.

But before he was a film star, Bruce Willis was a television star winning and Emmy and

a Golden Globe in the role that launched his career—fast talking, wise cracking Detective

David Addison in the hit series "Moonlighting" co-starring Cybill Shepherd.

Willis won the People's Choice Award for favorite performer in a new television series.

From his suave, charismatic, and hard headed characters to his more nuanced and dramatic

performances, audiences love Bruce Willis.

They always have.

In a 2002 interview speaking about getting cast in "Moonlighting" Bruce Willis said, "They

had seen like 3000 guys…I had just gotten an agent…I think Moonlighting was the third

thing they sent me to.

I had a bad attitude.

I'd just cut off all my hair with scissors.

I had three earrings in, and went in wearing fatigues…did the audition, read the script…and

I had that New York actor snotty attitude about T.V….but Glen Caron's writing really

turned me around.

It was great writing.

And I said, 'I know this character.

I know this guy.'

And it took me about five episodes of that show to really learn how to act in front of

a camera, which I had never done…and that was all Glenn Caron.

He got me the job…ABC did not want me.

I had to go back seven times…they cleaned me up, let my hair grow out, and put me in

a suit and tie, and I finally screen tested wit Cybill Shepherd, and there was about a

two-week period where they said, 'Okay, we're not gonna hire Bruce, and we're

not gonna do the show.'

Glenn had me come back to L.A. and do one more screen test with Cybill, and after that,

ABC said okay."

Bruce Willis was born in 1955 in West Germany where his father was stationed with the U.S.

military.

A few years later his family moved to New Jersey where his father worked blue-collar

jobs like welding and working in a factory to support his family.

From an early age, Bruce Willis suffered from a horrible stutter, but rather than retreating,

he tried to overcome this difficulty with humor and dignity, attempting to make his

classmates laugh, striving to speak in public in spite of how difficult it was for him to

even complete a sentence.

Eventually he realized that memorizing words and performing on stage in front of an audience

was helping him to overcome his stutter.

He acted in school plays and was elected president of the student council, but when Bruce Willis

left high school he didn't have enough money to go to college right away.

He worked in a chemical factory and as a security guard and saved money.

A few years later, he enrolled in the drama program and Montclair State College in New

Jersey.

Encouraged by a professor who believed in his talent, Bruce Willis worked with a speech

therapist.

Eager to pursue a career in acting, he dropped out of college after his sophomore year and

went to New York to try to make it as an actor.

Bruce Willis waited tables and bartended while auditioning for roles.

He debuted in an off-Broadway play, but it wasn't until he auditioned for "Moonlighting"

in 1986, beating over 3000 guys, in his early thirties that things started to roll.

As an actor Bruce Willis has a wonderful versatility were he can be just as captivating rattling

witty remarks at a thousand miles an hour as when his characters are mostly quiet and

contemplative.

Many of his roles have a tough guy sensitivity that is both classic and modern, elegant and

hip, uncouth and gentlemanly.

His performances reel us in from cult classics like "The Fifth Element" to blockbuster's

like "Armageddon" to supernatural horrors like "The Sixth Sense" or Neo-noir crime films like

"Sin City" and one of my favorite romantic comedies, "Look Who's Talking" were he plays the voice

of baby Mickey.

Bruce Willis is an actor who loves to entertain, to make movies were people can get out of

their lives for a couple of hours and have a good time.

We never get tired of watching Bruce Willis movies because we never get tired of watching

him.

Being honored by the American Institute for Stuttering in 2016, Bruce Willis said,

"The hardest thing I remember was being a kid stuttering…

never let anyone make you feel like an outcast

because you will never be an outcast."

In 2002 speaking about bullying he said, "I didn't tolerate it when I was in school.

I stood up for myself.

I stood up for my friends.

Friendship even then was important to me, and is really important to me now.

Not just friendship but the cultivation of friendship, to keep friendships alive…little

kids aren't born hating…to say that person's different, or that person's brown or black,

or Asian or whatever.

Kids aren't born to hate…The hatred is taught…"

Sometimes adults and children can be needlessly cruel.

When someone bullies you, it's not a reflection of who you are.

It's a reflection of who they are.

Don't let other people's weaknesses define who you are.

Focus on what you want to achieve and forge ahead.

We only have one life to live.

There's no time to waste on mean people.

Be yourself and be great.

And that's today's Happy Nugget!

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Thanks for watching.

See you next time.

Left-wing populist wins Mexico presidential election - Duration: 2:19.

Elsewhere around the world, an older, wiser leader is chosen by the people of Mexico fed

up with corruption.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador beat his two main rivals in the official "quick count" from

a national sampling of ballots.

Hong Yoo gets us better acquainted with the man set to be the country's first left-wing

president in almost a century.

After 89 years of rule, Mexico's conservative PRI party is expected to relinquish the presidency

to left-wing politician from the PT party, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

An official "quick count" from a national sampling of ballots showed about 53 percent

of the vote cast went to Lopez Obrador.

After running for president twice in the past, he finally won a resounding victory Sunday

night in Mexico's presidential election.

This marks the first time that a left-wing candidate will become president of Mexico

since the country started transitioning to democracy.

One local polling agency Parametria, expects Obrador to take 53 to 59 percent of the votes

and another local poll, Consulta Mitofsky, expects 43 to 49 percent of votes to go to

Obrador.

His main opponent, Ricardo Anaya, a moderate candidate, is expected to take 19 to 25 percent

of the votes.

Anaya, and ruling party candidate Jose Antonia Meade, who came third in the polls, accepted

their defeat and offered their congratulations.

The shift of political power from the conservatives to liberals comes after Mexicans' disappointment

over corruption, violence, and inequality.

Obrador was the former mayor of Mexico City, but his promises to put an end to corruption,

establish a Ministry of Public Safety, and renegotiate NAFTA, helped him earn the people's

votes.

He emphasized 'honest poverty and sharing' by declaring that he will reduce his presidential

salary to half its normal amount and offering to live in his own house instead of the presidential

palace.

U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted his congratulations to Lopez Obrador on Sunday night, saying "I

look very much forward to working with him.

There is much to be done that will benefit both the United States and Mexico "

A total of three thousand, four hundred positions were contested and 89 million people voted.

The new president is to be inaugurated on December 1st.

7 Ways To Save Money When You Start Sewing - Duration: 10:59.

[Intro music]

Hello, welcome back to my YouTube channel!

I'm starting this video with showing you this amazing shirt that I thrifted today

Oh my gosh! Juggling. Pochi! MERR.

And this hat that I crocheted -

It's the second thing I've ever successfully crocheted. I've only just started crocheting in the past month

and I LOVE it! It's so much fun. And this hat turned out really really cute and I was made from Fairtrade

wool from Uruguay, so... yayy! And I'm also sitting in quite a dark room

because I'm still having troubles with migraines and light sensitivity

so if this looks really dark

that's why. If it looks nice and bright then future Annika has done a really good job on post-production.

So hopefully it looks good! Whoo!

So the other day I was browsing through different patterns for clothing that you can buy online

and I was like wow, these are really prohibitively expensive for someone who's maybe

just getting into sewing and doesn't have that much money. I've also been looking at

fabrics recently and thought the same thing...So I wanted to make a little list of all the

tips and tricks that I have learned while being someone who is relatively broke

learning to sew, because fabrics and classes and

books and textbooks and all of that stuff... Sewing accessories, you name it are all quite expensive

it's a pretty expensive hobby to just pick up on a whim,

if you don't even know if you're gonna like it or not.

So this video is gonna be how to get started sewing without spending a fortune.

My first tip is to go to thrift stores to find your fabrics.

You don't want to be buying especially fabrics for your first ever projects from places like ...

Spotlight and Lincraft are the big craft stores in Australia,

I think you've got Joanne's in the US is that one called Michaels - or am I making that up right now?

Anyway fabric from these places is expensive and you're probably also gonna honestly mess it up

because you're learning how to sew and sewing is a little bit hard.

So when I first started sewing I used things like old bed sheets -

you can actually find old bed sheets in quite cute floral patterns.

I got one which was all like cute vintage looking teacups that I made a dress out of

actually that I used to make the first tutorial on this channel.

This orange one here was floral bedsheets!

This pinafore was an old bedsheet... Bedsheets are great,

especially if it's for your first projects and you just mucking around with things. Another thing that

bedsheets can be useful for is for making prototypes,

so before you use the really nice fabric,

if you're using like a light cotton or silk or something like that as your final

fabric, then you can use a bed sheet of the same or at least similar sort of fabric to make your prototype.

Now I know that a lot of you say that you don't have good thrift stores in your country.

And unfortunately that might be the case you might be able to shop online instead - places like Etsy or eBay

often sell secondhand fabrics.

But if you do live in a country that has pretty good thrift stores then you can definitely find good fabrics,

though if you're someone

who thinks they never have good luck thrifting then you're probably looking in the wrong places.

And I'm actually going to link to a video on how to thrift which is very applicable to finding fabrics -

even though the video I made was about clothes. Aside from thrifted bed sheets

you might also hit the jackpot and find a craft section at the thrift store. I found these today:

Two metres of gingham, 3 metres of sweater fleece fabric

2 metres of wool tartan, 2 meters of this nice drapey

chiffon pattern material it's really pretty

4 metres of this really nice drapey tartan for $4! Thrift store prices!

And it's not just fabrics like often there will be a little craft haberdashery section in

different thrift stores like today I also found a handful of zippers

and I probably got all those fabrics and zippers for the price of maybe one or two

metres of fabric in a normal craft store.

Another thing that is great from thrift stores - sewing textbooks, so

this is a woman's day complete book of handicrafts,

a giant, hardcover, like, tome that I got for $3.

I got that today at the thrift store and while it's from the seventies the instructions and

step by step photos

to do all of these different crafts are

really well detailed like I've learnt quite a lot of stuff from it just from reading it today

There's a whole section on metric equivalents. So I don't have to google it I can just use this as a reference.

We've got how to measure every single part of your body for different

clothes a sewing guide for the thread you should use and how many

machine stitches per inch for different types of fabric,

and this whole thing is just on how to iron fabrics like this thing is awesome, and it includes a bunch of

tutorials of how to make things and patterns so like,

yes, this might be a 70s design but a lot of the patterns that they give you are fairly timeless besides seventies

stuff is fashionable anyway! I found this awesome one from the 80s a while ago for 50 cents,

which is also a really good step by step guide

to following patterns and making clothes and this thing I got today as well, which is

from the summer of 87 to 88... You would see people wearing this today!

Like I'm pretty sure seeing that girl on Instagram recently. So don't discredit older sewing guides from thrift shops

just because of their age they are actually often really well-written,

especially if there's something like women's day if you can find women's day books,

I have two of them - they're really well written. Another good place to get cheap fabrics and craft supplies is

places, like estate sales and garage sales... Estate sales,

you might be able to score with fabrics because often it might be an older person who has passed away who has

hoarded fabric their whole lives. That is definitely going to be me in the future

I pity the person who has to go through my fabric stash -

or if you know people who have relatives maybe like their grandma

recently moved to a nursing home and left all her fabric stash

they might be like, please please take this off us! I have had three different people

give me huge like roomfuls of fabric that they didn't need anymore because

they knew I liked so that brings me to another tip

let everyone in your life know that you like sewing! Make it be known that you are now the sewing person

because not only will you find these people who might have stashes that they want to unload.

They might just be like, oh, I'll buy this person a present. I'll buy them a sewing machine for Christmas.

That's what happened to me.

I showed an interest in sewing and for Christmas that year my dad

noticed that there were sewing machines on sale at the post office and he was like awesome

I'm gonna get that for Annika and the rest is history.

Talking about sewing machines - if you're going to be spending any money

this is where you need to spend it.

You don't wanna be spending your money on fabrics, on patterns, on classes, on books...

You want to be spending it here.

Because if you have a bad sewing machine, if you go for like the

cheapest worst type, your projects probably won't work out and

you're probably gonna think that it's your fault that you're a bad sewer when it's

actually the sewing machines fault. It can totally put you off sewing for the rest of your life.

Not a good idea, and the benefits to investing in a good sewing machine is that you will have it for years

so you can save money in the long run because you're able to make all your own clothes. If you

improve a lot and really take to it, you can even make money selling things.

So I just really think this is the one thing you really should invest

in if you're getting started sewing.

That said, there are some really decent sewing machines out there for beginners that are only around

$100 - $200. I can only speak from personal

experience, but I really like my Bernina machine it is a beginners, but semi computerized machine

which meant that it has let me do a lot more intermediate stuff not just beginners only stuff

like I can work with swimsuits really easily or I can work with denim and I've had it for -

I think it's four years at this point - and

it's I've never even had it serviced and it just works perfectly like the day I got it.

Of course I'm also going to mention free sewing tutorials on the internet!

So if you're just learning to so I actually compiled a whole page

of free beginner sewing tutorials on my website.

And of course all of my tutorials are free and I have

a whole beginner's playlist that you can go through which is ranked in

order from easy to hard. They're all free. Please use them!

My last tip is that there are plenty of places to get free sewing patterns

and I'm going to be linking some of my favorites down below.

Colette does a couple of free patterns, Peppermint magazine has a lot of free patterns,

Tilly and the buttons has some free tutorials,

these are all quite beginner friendly and

ones like Tilly and the buttons and Colette

actually teach you how to sew while you use them if you do spend any of any money on them

it's kind of like a class and a pattern all in one.

So it's quite a lot of value for money, but I'll put the links to these

and some are in the description box down below,

so that you can find some good quality beginners patterns that are free.

Also make some sewing friends!

Anyone who is friends with me and shows even the slightest interest in sewing

I like load them up with a bunch of fabrics to take home.

Is the answer to this one...become friends with Annika?

No, but I think you'll find that the sewing community is really passionate,

eager to help and teach others to learn so making friends who love sewing and

letting the world know that you love sewing is definitely

not a bad idea! Speaking of making sewing friends

It's been like a week since I launched the make thrift try

community challenge and there have already been so many photos on

Instagram who have taken part in the challenge,

or they've gotten started on the challenge or what they're like posting works in progress,

and it's been so cool to see. Um, thank you so much for posting them

I am so excited to see more throughout the month. Remember it finishes

at...

31 days after?

My last video was posted

So if you want to join in get started with some sewing - it doesn't have to be super professional!

If you're a beginner you are more than welcome!

Then please join in!

If you have any more tips or tricks on how to get started sewing without spending a ton of money

on places where you might be able to find cheap craft accessories

or if you have any favorite free pattern websites that aren't linked in the description box below!

Please leave a comment! When I witness like a nice friendly interaction in my comment section,

I get so happy and I'm like.. FRIENNNDDDSSSS!

It honestly makes my day. So please do that. I hope you've enjoyed my little

skater beanie, Emo hair in this video. I think it's very cute. I love this beanie. Anyway, thank you for watching

I hope this video was helpful, and I'll see you all next time. Bye!

Kim Jong-un visits factories near border with China - Duration: 2:00.

Kim Jong-un visited a number of sites in Sindo-gun and Sinuiju... areas near the North Korean

border with China.

This follows his visit to Beijing in June,.... where the regime's leader toured a number

of major industrial facilities.

For more on the significance of the inspections, we turn to our Kan Hyeong-woo.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made his first public appearances after his trip to Beijing.

He visited Sindo-gun County and Sinuiju in North Korea's northwestern Pyonganbuk-do Province,...

near the border with China.

According to the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency ,Kim looked around a large-scale

reed farm in Sindo-gun County and made on-site inspections of two textile plants... and a

cosmetics factory in Sinuiju.

It's reported that Kim expressed dissatisfaction about the plants and the workers.

He said that they're not living up to Sinuiju's (QUOTE UNQUOTE)"proud tradition" and urged

them to increase productivity.

His constant message in all three places he visited was "modernization."

"So, mass production is what North Korea considers as 'modernization'.

But you need to first check the facilities of old factories in North Korea to modernize.

In other words, Kim Jong-un is going to put all-out efforts into economic development."

There's also speculation that Kim Jong-un's visit can be interpreted as a move aimed at

developing economic ties with China... as his recent on-site inspections follow his

visit to Beijing in June and these areas all share borders with China.

His tour included a stop at Hwangkumpyong, an island where the North and China had agreed

to develop a special economic zone back in 2011 before the project was stalled following

the execution of Kim's uncle Jang Song-thaek in 2013.

China has been implementing the United Nations' sanctions on North Korea, but after the North

Korea-U.S. summit and Kim's visit to China, Beijing recently raised the need to ease sanctions.

Solving Productivity Problems: 9 QUICK TIPS - Duration: 14:12.

You know what makes me happy?

And guess what else makes me happy,

being massively productive

because I don't know about you,

but I don't want to work 100 hours

a week like I used to,

by the way.

I went from working 100 hours a week

to only having to work in that company

five days a month.

And I did it because I overcame

a lot of the productivity problems

that I personally was having,

but the productivity problems

that I know that are basically common

to all of us.

So,

in my last series of videos

I talked about the six major

productivity problems,

but in this video I'm

going to share with you my

nine quick fixes

for these productivity problems.

And while you're not going to be able to implement

all of them at one time,

if you just work on them one

at a time, I promise

you that you might be able to go from

working however many hours

a week that you are right now,

to working a much less

amount of time...

Getting more done and making more money.

Which is really awesome because then you get to spend more time

with the people that you care about

and you get to have a little fun.

So, the quick fixes that I

have here for you,

I have nine are...

Number one.

So you're going to want to write down

and or categorize every

thing that you do.

And for those of you in the catalytic

team boot camp I have very

specific worksheets for you

that are going to

help you achieve this very

easily and quickly.

It's really important to understand every

single thing that you do every single

day

and you have to put it in the right category to

Understand your energy

and your time.

Then, You want to lump like

activities.

You know when you have,

and I just have these as examples,

let's say especially for the entrepreneur,

you know you have marketing

activities.

You know, creating presentations,

blog and social media posts,

market research,

public facing

things such as client meetings,

networking events,

live trainings,

things where you have to be out in the public,

and then there are administrative tasks,

right? Staff meetings,

payroll, preparing reports.

These are like activities that

have similar energy

to each one of them,

right? So,

if you look at these three things

you probably have a favorite of these

three that you like to do.

And you probably have one of these three things

that you absolutely despise doing.

No matter who's watching this.

And so,

this is really a part of the time,

energy, money connection is understanding that,

first of all, but you do want to lump

your like activities because then

what can happen is when

you have to do even the things you dislike,

you can just power through them,

and instead of

sprinkling them throughout your day

and week you can start

to take control of them

and just get through them,

so that you can then take your

energy,

and place it toward doing the powerful things

very quickly when you need to

And that's what I mean by that,

you sprint the things that you can't stand.

You know, one of the things I

always do

when I am working

on activities I don't like,

And I'll tell you this is more,

it's very different

for me today than when I started

doing these things,

today.

This necessity

of this exercise is

pretty much almost gone from my

life. There are a couple things that I

still need to do that I don't like to do,

but there are very few and far between.

Whereas, when I started this

it was, there was a lot of things on

my plate that I really hated to do.

But what I did to take control of it

was, and what I would encourage you to do,

is just give yourself permission

to say,

"I am going to focus on this thing

for a half hour,

for 10 minutes," whatever

you can say to yourself,

"I can stomach a half hour if

I just focus on it

and power on it for a half hour

and then I have permission to completely

stop after a half hour,"

and set your timer

and do it. And really focus on it

and really do it for half an hour.

What you will find is that you probably

will get a majority of it,

if not the entire thing done

in the timeframe that you set

and just having the mental freedom

to know that you're allowing yourself to stop after

that time really enables

you to say, "OK I can handle,"

So you want to just tell yourself that something you don't

like to do,

set the timer for what you

know like you're like,

"OK I can get through this

amount of time," whatever that amount of time is.

Don't Make it too long though,

you know, give yourself a half hour at a time

or something like that

and then just really dedicate yourself

to being focused

and productive on it.

Set your boundaries.

Do not let people interrupt you

during that time. Turn off your phone.

Turn off your

notifications.

Tell your staff to completely,

you know, do not interrupt you

during that time

and really power it out.

What I found is that

when I did that I actually almost always

got the thing done,

and/or there would only be let's say

10 more minutes before I'd finish it.

And so, I would be very willing

to spend that additional ten minutes because

I could see the light at the end of the tunnel,

and I just wanted to get it done.

And these sprints

and setting the parameters around the sprints,

I'm telling you, it can be a real game changer

when you are doing things that you really don't like

to do.

The fourth thing is really to schedule

every thing.

Oh my gosh. Everything.

Schedule your client

meetings,

your marketing,

your,

you know, your funnel building,

your time to think,

your time to read books

if that's something that you do.

Your time to

have any type of meeting

with anybody including

your staff.

In my office my team

can not just come in

and interrupt me ad hoc,

almost ever.

There are,

we have a specific way that people

are allowed to ask

me a quick question,

but whenever anybody has

something that they need from me,

what my team does as they schedule,

they sort of gather things throughout

a couple of days,

unless, because most things aren't that urgent,

right? And then

they have an agenda,

and they'll block out a half an hour

an hour onto my schedule,

and then we'll sit down and have a meeting,

and we'll power out all their questions,

and all the things that they need for my specific

team member.

They are not allowed to just walk

in the office interrupt me when

I am in the middle of my productivity.

And this is something that you really should

settle for yourself,

and as much as possible allow

it for your team as well.

Like, if they can schedule

in their activities,

and the idea is if it's scheduled

in that it is not interrupted time,

then they will be able to increase

their productivity exponentially as

well. So,

scheduling everything is a real game

changer, and I'll tell you I'm not the kind of

person that even likes initially

to do this. I was very resistant

to this because I don't like to

feel like I'm boxed into anything,

but to be quite honest this gave me so

much freedom that I would

never go back.

It actually didn't make me feel boxed in.

It gave me an amazing amount

of freedom because I knew exactly

what I needed to do when.

I was always it's always planned for.

And then I don't need to worry about

it. I just do it when it comes

u,p and that's the end of it.

So,

The fifth thing is ask for

or hire help.

You know, sometimes you can't afford

all the help that you actually need.

But I will be willing

to bet that you have some people in your

life that could give you an hour

or two here and there if you simply

asked.

And I'm telling you I don't have

a real good ask gene

in myself either.

I'm very,

you know, Lone Ranger stubborn sometimes,

but it's really great

to ask for help

and to actually receive it

when you need it,

when you probably do need it.

And if you can hire help, oh definitely hire the

help. I mean, it's better than always

imposing on people by asking

them, you do want to ask people occasionally

to help you get over humps,

but eventually,

and ideally you're

hiring help

and not trying to be the lone wolf

that we talked about.

And Then number six is never do

anything that doesn't serve the goal.

I have this cute,

little picture of this

creature saying paperwork no can do.

And because that would be literally me,

like I am that creature right there.

I don't do any paperwork in

my office.

And when I say that you know,

you know one of my companies is a law

firm. I imagine that I'm telling you that I,

Nicole Wipp do not do any paperwork

at my office.

It's a true statement.

I do not do it.

I have a team.

They do the paperwork.

I review it as appropriate,

but I don't do it

and because

it doesn't serve my goal,

it saps my energy.

It is not something that gives me any

energy whatsoever.

It is something that I literally

dread and because I literally

dread it, I cannot do it.

And I therefore,

do not do it.

And that's a really strong boundary

that I've set around myself

and have asked for,

and or hired help for

that now has given me a tremendous amount

of freedom.

It doesn't serve my goal

in my company for me

to do it. It needs to be done,

but I am not the one to do it.

And so,

you can start to think about things

like that for yourself.

What are things that don't serve your

goal, don't serve your energy?

And can you set a boundary around that

and have an absolute that you are not

going to do it?

When you can do that it can be a really,

massive game changer for you

and for your team.

So, that's why

you want to start getting clarity

around this.

Number seven barricade

yourself when necessary.

Sorry, I can't talk.

Barricade yourself when necessary.

You know, Do not disturb.

This is an actual real picture

in my home office

of a sign that I have.

Do not disturb.

And really

make it clear to the people

in your life that there is

a meaning behind this.

That you are not to be interrupted.

That you are in work mode.

Your'e in productivity mode.

You are in production mode,

and then this time is sacred,

and then actually use that time appropriately,

like, Use it to do the thing that you said

you were going to do.

But, definitely

setting the boundary around yourself

to not be interrupted is just

key.

Systematize

As much as possible. I already talked about systems.

They're huge. You've got,

got, got to do them.

Systematize every single thing

that you can... the phone calls that come

into your work,

The emails

that you have to answer, the way that the phone is answered,

the way that the emails are answered,

the way that your time

is scheduled,

the way that you start

your day, everything,

systematize as much as possible is a massive

productivity leap.

And Then number nine is to

get real.

I just gave you these nine things,

I should say eight plus this one,

but just realize you cannot do

every single one of these things,

if you haven't already had all

these things in place,

doing all of them simultaneously

is impossible.

Okay? You just want to get real

about what you can,

do and the idea is that you work

toward doing all of them,

but that you're not going to be able

to change any of this

overnight.

It first requires a major

mental shift for both you

and your team,

and then

it requires that you actually implement

it into the way that you do things,

if you're not doing it already.

And change is difficult,

Right? And so,

you have to really get

real about what's possible for you

and your team to change,

and just start chipping away at it.

But I can promise you,

absolutely without a doubt,

that when you do that,

and when you start implementing

these things in,

the amount of energy that it will give

back to both you,

and your individual team members,

you will be wanting to do more,

and more, and more,

and the energy for actually doing

the change will become

increasingly more powerful.

Because everybody will start

to see the absolute,

positive benefits of running things

this way and of protecting

the leaders time

and the leaders energy,

protecting their own time,

and their own energy.

Everybody is going to start seeing the positive benefits

of it, and it feels so darn good

that everybody's going to want to do it.

But when you start,

you need to be really real about

what the possibility is for you

and your team,

and not set unrealistic expectations

on anybody about getting

all these things into place.
