[00:07:10]Okay.

[00:07:12]Like the boy have it too.

[00:07:15]I won't carry my stream. [laughter] Okay. Welcome everyone. This is the third session we are having out of the last guys. I am so excit not like I don't love you guys or anything but I'm so excited to end this series.

[00:07:35][laughter] because Sundays are meant to be like rest days for me. But like I said, we're really passionate about what we're doing. So, we're going to go through um the difficult work of showing up every weekend. All right. Um today, for the first time in a very long while, if you follow me for a while, you know that I rarely bring guests.

[00:08:04]>> [laughter] >> I can't even remember the last time I brought a guest to anything I was doing.

[00:08:08]All right. I do that because most people use guest to well, I don't know actually. I just do it before I go begin to shai.

[00:08:18]So, um we have a guest today. Uh let me check the room. I think he's all already ready. Yeah, he's already ready for you guys. I can see him in the room. So, we're going to do something. If you haven't already done so, take the link and let me tell you why I'm bringing this guest. Let me tell you the truth, guys. Not will be this vulnerable to you guys.

[00:08:43]One of the things that I did find out in life is you see there are certain things that I learned or let me let me let me let me let me rephrase it. You see, it's one thing to be able to do something. It's another thing to be able to teach what you do. All right. There are certain aspect of my life that and so many times what happens is I come into the action then I now have to under stududy myself for the sole purpose of being able to teach in order to replicate. So there are a lot of things that you know I was already doing and I say oh so this is it. Okay. So this is actually it and all that. All right. So um many times you attain the success because you're an actionoriented person then you now begin to back date. Okay, this is the reason why. So like many people, one of the things that has to happen to you if you become a successful person, sorry, is you have to be able to study how you became successful in order to be able to replicate. For example, one of the things that I found out when I started business was I never really struggled to sell in business. All right? And I see people say they struggling to sell. He's not a human being. talk collect your money now.

[00:10:01][laughter] And then one day I didn't realize that listen the capacity to sell had been built because I did go and I still do go for a lot of evangelism and the process of evangelism is just like selling. So I realized that sometimes in your life you'll have capacities that have been developed in your life through other experiences that you are not aware of.

[00:10:29]Are you so sometimes you don't have to study yourself say okay because I was doing evangelism so often I had the boldness to approach random people talk to them do you get what I'm saying and I now have that same capacity in business right and one of the questions that I really really get the most you know every single time is as a how many of you have that question let me let me ask how many have that question you have asked that in fact they have asked me that question so how do you balance everything. How many of you have asked me that question before?

[00:11:02]How many of you have asked me that question or you have asked that question generally? Confess your sins. S how do you balance everything? How do you do XY Z? Blah blah blah blah. Now the truth is while I was in school it wasn't like a big deal to me. I won't even lie to you guys. And every time people ask me that question in my head I'm like are you dumb? You have 10 things to do. Write it on a paper. Do it. Tick it. Do it.

[00:11:26]Ticket do it ticket do it ticket what is what all this so I'm not a complex I don't use all the systems shenanigans notion nothing like that see my whole paper like this all right I need to do list it like this when I list it I'll think which one is most important once I find what is most important after doing like that I'll do it I'll tick I'll do it I'll take so every time people ask me I can't really say the answer is when I pal you know cuz when they invite to speak I have to say something >> [laughter] >> All right. So, and I feel like one of the very very important factors if you're going to run anything successfully in school is the capacity to manage your productivity level because there's a lot that obviously is going to be contending for your time and it's going to be contending for your attention.

[00:12:18]So that's part of why I said um sometimes maybe some people just know how to explain the theory behind the action that you have understood. So like I said this week we are having TGA Airi.

[00:12:32]All right as a productivity guy I don't really know how to teach that thing guys. I tell I will tell you that truth.

[00:12:39]I don't really know how to teach that thing. I just know how to be productive.

[00:12:43]I just get the work done. You know people asking me what keeps you what keeps you going? What do you what keeps me going? I keep going now. [laughter] Like what does that even mean? I just keep going. Like the road is free guys.

[00:12:56]Keep going, you know. So uh but like I said maybe there are people that have understood this from a systematic standpoint and all of that. It's the same way if maybe you've you've ever spoken to a therapist is even lately a lot more people are knowing that there are such things like temperament styles.

[00:13:15]You just say I just the events I just I'm just angry but then somebody has documented that this is going and all that. So that's part of why I'm bringing take out the show because I believe if you can't manage your time, if you can't manage yourself, you'll start having tradeoffs and sometimes these trade-offs are not the best. So maybe you have a lot of money and then you're failing in school and then your parents who paid school fees understand that yeah you need money but you start having a super crashes. So how to maximize your productivity is what you're going to focus on on this session. Before I bring tega up, I'm going to give us about 2 minutes. What I want you to do, I want you to take this link, share to your friends, share to your enemies, share to your ex. Why may just be a conversation start you guys can come back together. You never can tell. [laughter] That may be a prophetic word. I just said I should, you know, this session may be [laughter] and all that. So send it, send it, send it. Um, and then we would get started.

[00:14:26]So, I would go back to our intro video for just about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, we go straight into business. So, um yeah, see you in 2 minutes, guys.

[00:14:47]I was good [music] for more in the mess I wore. Had to lay the pride down. Put my face to the floor. I was talking big, but I live too small. Now I wake up, focus, get my heart, [music] get my own me, try to win by the empty flex. No me on my knees, got to clean a step. One life, one path, I'm going to walk it [music] right. Every star got a story, now I'm made for life. I've been changing day by day. No more running in place. I can feel that old way falling off my name. [music] When I rise, I rise with purpose. When I fall, he makes me stay. I'm not who I was.

[00:15:24]>> [music] >> I'm getting ready.

[00:15:27]Better me, better me. That's who I'm going to be. Better me, better me.

[00:15:32]Walking in destiny. [music] One step, one prayer. I'm becoming who I'm meant to be. [music] Better me, better me.

[00:15:43]That's who I'm going to be.

[00:15:49][music] Cut the fake friends off. Cut the noise down low. I don't need applause. I need food [music] that grows. Got a heart to guard. Got a mind to renew. I'm not chasing clout. I'm chasing [music] truth. If the road gets hard, I won't tap out. Build on grace, not hype. That's what I'm about. Every little win, every yes, [music] every no.

[00:16:08]That's the kind of strength that helps a person grow. I've been changing day [music] by day. No more running in place. I can't feel that old way falling off my name. When I [music] rise, I rise with purpose. When I fall, he makes me stay. I'm [music] not who I was. I'm getting ready.

[laughter] At that point my face would go off and then you will see his slides and then when he's done I'll come back.

[00:21:49]Thank you. Thank you guys. Thank you guys so much. All right. So, let's just dive straight into it. Um firstly, I want to appreciate Thank you guys so much. I'm seeing a number of guys. Ah, thank you sir. David, thank you. Thank you. All of you that are not from I appreciate you. Um so, I want to appreciate S for having me over. Thank you so much. Um I'm so brave. When I saw it, I was so happy. I was so excited. I was like, "Ah, it's like my um my rank is is rising." And you know, I got another invitation somewhere. I sent it to him. And these invitations, it seems like this they've started coming when school has just ended. School has been what has been holding me down. My mother does not know, but that's what has been holding my destiny was like shackles are being broken up. So I'm really really glad. Let me switch this so I'm closer to the camera. Okay. Um, [snorts] so I'm really glad to be here. Thank you so much for having me, Serbi. I'm really grateful. Um, and I'm sure you guys have an amazing session so far. Um, it's been absolute gems so far. So, let's just dive in. So, how to run a business without dropping your grades. That's what we're going to be talking about.

[00:25:54]For some reason, I can't explain.

[00:25:57]Sega just seems to have disappeared.

[00:26:00]Can you guys hear me?

[00:26:09]What is trying to fix back? I've said it. I told this boy not to be using glow again. He didn't answer me. [laughter] Okay. So, I'll just chew back to uh get his signal back. All right. Then we can pull things through from there. So, take once your signal is back.

[00:26:32]Maybe you send me a message.

[00:26:34]All right.

[00:26:36]Okay. Okay. Don't worry. I'm sure he'll fix it and just find something somewhere. I asked the boy for glue now.

[00:26:44]Says no using glue. Unfortunately, here we are. [laughter] All right. So, while while he's talking about that, maybe I'll have a brief conversation with you guys around something that I think is really really important to to this survival to this program. Sorry. All right.

[00:27:03]I did have a conversation with us yesterday and I sorry last week and last two weeks.

[00:27:12]Okay, take are you backing? I can't see your camera. Once you are back in, let me know.

[00:27:19]All right.

[00:27:22]Anyways, back to our you feel like one of the most underestimated lines of thought that a person can have is generics. And I'm going to explain what I mean by that. You see, so I I'm I'm I I've grown up in a very strong faith background, right? I mean, always been in the faith, always been in some layer of faith leadership. So it's either me chapling or something and all that. And one of the things that you find a lot of people, you know, talk about and I'm tying this to something in business. So just follow me. One of the things that you see a lot of people talk about is if you ever been to such faith conferences, one of the most common questions you get is how do I know that and the call of God is on my life? All right. H I think guys joining him back and all that and all that and so you see people who are doing something all right they're saying um I want to know this I want to know that right so what they do is they don't pause their entire life all right and that's why there's a way we conceptualize purpose that I don't really 100% agree with right so they pause their entire life hoping for a voice you know to I know if you're called or something like that. All right. But really the way to approach it is a bit different when you look at it scripturally. What should happen is follow me carefully and I want you not forget this principle is you stay with the generics until you get the specifics. I'll say that again. You stay with the generics up until when you get the specifics. And it's the same way in business while you are young, while you are not yet um 100% certain about your path to you know money. All right?

[00:29:28]Because the truth is not everyone's path is entrepreneurship. What happens to a lot of people is follow me carefully.

[00:29:35]They then begin to ask hm should I do this skill? Should I learn that skill?

[00:29:40]Should I learn this skill? Should I learn that skill? So they're thinking of which skill to learn or what to do to make a lot of money. All right? And the real thing is instead of asking what should I do, what skill should I do, what skill should I learn, all of those very elementary questions, I feel a better way to think is listen, what skill is it that regardless of whatever I learn, are you with me, it will be impossible for me to make it without that skill. So while finding what to do, you should find what can I not do without. Are you following what I'm saying? And the way I like to play it is look in in um um school if you were remember your secondary school, everybody did math, everybody did English regardless of where you were going to branch out to in SS1, right? because they know that regardless of where you go, if you're going to ask, you will need that mass. If you're going to go to, you will need that mass. So, they taught you the generics before they branched out into the specifics. And why did I say all of that? I said all that to say. All right, there are a couple of generic skills. Maybe I'll teach that after take guys on another session about five six generic skills. Let me tell you the truth. Regardless of wherever you're going to play in life, you are going to need these skills. So if you are not sure of where you're going to play in life, a smarter way to approach life is to learn the things that regardless of where you end up in life, you're still going to need. I'm going to show you five of these skills, but have do a super super deepes on all of them. However, for now, we will go back to Tega. So I think Tega is all set up now. So we go back to Tega in three, two, one, and say hello to Tega.

[00:31:48]Hi guys, once again, can you hear me?

[00:31:50]Just let me know in the chat. Can you hear me, guys?

[00:31:56]Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

[00:32:06]I'm not seeing any responses. I just want to be sure. Can you guys hear me?

[00:32:11]Okay. Amazing. Okay. Okay. So, let's let's run like a machine gun very very quickly. So, we're talking about how to run a business without dropping your grades. How to run a business without dropping your grades. Um, and that's the entirety of what this session is about.

[00:32:27]Basically, what balance looks like. All right. And I'm going to stick on two pillars primarily which is like how to balance your business and um the stuff that you're doing in school. All right.

[00:32:40]So let's dive right into it. Can we have the next slide please?

[00:32:58]Um so while we're waiting for the next slide if you have any questions I think I would even prefer that I'm seeing the questions pop if you have questions while I'm you know um you know going on just drop them and I would answer them but then if you have questions I want to just put it before so we don't have to wait all the way to the end. So the question that I get asked the most as Shab said this is how do you balance school and business and anyone that does anything you know if you're active in a ministry your whatever it is that you're active in school that serves as an extracurricular right this is the question that we get get asked a lot how do you balance school and business so let let's look at what the systems are and what it is that I'm oh let's look at what I'm balancing first before we look at you know how to balance these things let's go to the next slide Please.

[00:33:52]All right. Yes. Next slide.

[00:33:59][snorts] All right. So, these are some of things that I'm currently juggling as pertains to academics and business. So, for academics, I'm on track to graduate with the first class. God, I've said it publicly. I beg you, please. [laughter] I've said it publicly. Um I you know from when I was in 300 300 and 400 level of my final year I'm pretty much done just had my final project defense uh I've been planning and running conferences and I've had different speaking engagements and then ministrations as well by God's grace. So I've done that and then these are some of things that I've built business-wise.

[00:34:29]I have a private community called distinction circle. I create content on Instagram. Um and I've been doing that since like October. I've been posting content like almost every single day. In fact, we just hit 4K followers. Then I do one-on-one consulting and then group coaching programs. Point that I'm trying to make is I've been able to do and merge these two pillars. All right. And obviously, I'm not going to talk about business. But then um it's how you can balance these two together. Let's go to the next slide and look at some of the systems that I use to balance it. I think something that's not not here is having a strong why as to why it is things that you're doing. So Sabi Sabi said something earlier u about how when people ask how do you keep or what keeps you going right to the next slide what keeps you going and then she said I don't just keep going and it's because at least personally for me it's because there's a strong why inside of it I was talking to a friend today and she was saying um she was talking talking to me about how she doesn't do anything with her life you know she just you know scrolls on TikTok and all these type of things and in my mind I'm like there's no pressure induced on you, right?

[00:35:37][snorts] That you don't have so much pressure. There's nothing pressurizing you or giving you pressure because if there is, then you'd want to do something after. My mother told me the other day, I think last month that Tigger, you know that when you are done with school, I'm no longer sending you allowance. She just told me point blank period. And I didn't even have a problem. I said, "Okay, no, right. I'm not sending you allowance." That the last allowance she sent cuz we're in we're rounding off school this month. Is the last allowance she will ever send me again. Can we go to the next slide? Is the last allowance she'll ever send me.

[00:36:05]And I I've personally been thinking about life after school since I was in 200 level. So sticking with just academics wasn't going to cut it for me cuz I knew that at some point I would leave school. Um and I wasn't going to go the normal route of um leaving school, doing NYC, getting a job. I wasn't going to do that, right? I knew I wanted to build businesses, build stuff, and sell them. So I needed to learn the skills that it would take to balance the both of them. And the reason why I couldn't dump my academics as much as I would have loved to. I'm not even joking. I would have just love to dump it focus on on work you know and just do that for you know my days in uni. I couldn't my matter how much I'm earning.

[00:36:49]I'm not even earning anything. But no matter how much even if I start earning 50 million 100 million like my mother okay take I was on Unfortunately, we seem to have lost Tega again.

[00:37:35]All right, [laughter] just a side note, guys. I want to let you guys know publicly >> that I'm going to throw this boy [laughter] I'm going to draw him intensively because I can.

[00:37:57][laughter] And I told him that cuz Tega is currently not in Lagos. So I remember telling him that I'm going to mock you if your network should do anyhow. In fact, [laughter] I remember asking him jokingly seriously. I said h can you join this live? Do you guys have good network where you are? [laughter] And he said yes. Are you sure? Said uhuh sabi what are you saying now? You guys be the judge. [laughter] But like he said, he's currently schooling somewhere and um they're rounding off their final their final um the final year shenanigans. So he's currently still in school. So his location is not 100% in his in his under his control. So two things, guys. Um we're most likely going to have like two parallel shows happening at the same time. All right. So when drops off wherever I stop may I will continue. If he comes back glory to God but if he doesn't come back not a problem right do we agree on that? Are we good on that?

[00:39:12]Once we are good on that type W's W's [laughter] once I see that I would further right remember I said I was going to talk to you about five generic skills. You don't know what business to start. You don't know what skill to learn. You don't know whatever to start from. However, there are about five things that you can begin to pay attention to that more often than not even people who have great products who don't have this skills, you're not going to make uh as much as you can. All right. So, but while that is happening, let me see if Tega is back. Tega, are you back? I can't see you or can't see you.

[00:39:52]Uh where are you? I can't see you, Tigga. So uh let me see if I could see you can't see you at the back end bro. Okay there you go. So like I said that's how you will be taking my lecture small small if [laughter] some I'm sure guys say sir that lecture that you were saying if he's around to the end you are not going to have that lecture. [laughter] So okay without further ado I'll just bring on tega back and he'll pull on from where he was. Thank you guys. Take her back and he'll pull up from where he was. Thank you guys.

[00:40:30]>> Hi guys. Can you hear me? I reckon I reckon you can. I'm tired. You see why I want to leave this school. He's like the weapon fashioned against my life.

[00:40:40][snorts] But we're back. We're back.

[00:40:41]We're back. By God's grace, we will not leave again. And I mean there's no downsides. If I leave, you will get Sab's lecture. If I stay, you will get my lecture. A win is a win. All right.

[00:40:53]So, well, I can't remember what I was saying. Um, case in point, you need you need to learn how to balance the things that you're doing. I think I was talking about how Okay, I was talking about pressure, right? Um, so, okay. Yes, I was talking to my dad, you know, I was talking to my dad two weeks ago and he was he was telling me um, oh, Tigga, how are your exams coming along? Um, I hadn't even started reading, but I told him that don't worry, everything is going well. He now said, Tigga, are you still on a first class? I said, "Daddy, the last time we we got our results, it was in February. We've not gotten any new results since that time." So, I finished the exams couple days ago and then I was on a call with him two days ago, I think. And he said, "Ter, how are you doing? How were your exam?" I said, "My exams were good." He said, "Are you still on the first?" I said, "Daddy, I can only know when the results comes out." It's so funny. The point I'm to make is that's the reason why I needed to pay so much attention to my academics, right? because of my parents.

[00:41:51]If not, I would have just let it go. So, um, and it's not in my SL. That's why I'm making mention of it that with whatever it is that you are doing, there has to be a strong why because that's what's going to keep you going. If you're building a business, because everybody's building businesses, then it's going to be very easy for you to fall off and stay inconsistent, right?

[00:42:10]So, when people are asking me questions like, uh, how exactly again like what Sabi said, do you keep going? I don't know. What do you mean what keeps I don't want to die of hunger. I don't want to be hungry when I leave school. I don't want to be hungry, right? Imagine going imagine I want to go somewhere.

[00:42:25]Maybe um pastor Nelson is in Nigeria and I want to go from my house to the meeting. I call my pop star and said, "Daddy, please can you send me a beg? I beg." You know, so that's the reason why. And then for academics, I already mentioned because of my parents. So it's very important have a why for the things that you're doing. All right? And you know, of course, the why is not enough, but it's a good place to start. And this is the system that I want to talk about today. Of course, there are more complex systems, but I tried. Okay, what is the simplest layman version that I can give you today because one of the things that I've realized is that a lot of people join these sessions, join these calls, join these meetings and they get this rush of dopamine but don't eventually get that long to doing anything about it. So, I try to make it as like condensed as possible so that um you can begin working on something today. All right. So, let's dive. Let's go to the next next slide. So the system has three parts basically. We have the ideal week, deep work and weekly review. So we start from the ideal week and what ex what and what that is about. Um so let's have the next slide please.

[00:43:31]But remember like I said if you have any questions as we're going along please drop it in the chat. Even if it's not about what I I spoke about um the next slide. Even if it's not what I'm talking about directly anything on I don't know.

[00:43:44]I don't know [snorts] anything really.

[00:43:48]Um, all right. So, next slide, please.

[00:43:51]So, what the ideal week is, this is like your engine, right? The ideal week is your engine. It's your engine for everything that you're going to be doing, right? It's what keeps me productive. So, it's similar to what Sabi was saying about himself, having like the notes and then writing stuff on it. So, let's have the next slide and writing stuff on it. But if you cannot visually see the things that you're working on and the things that you're doing, you're not going to be able to make any progress. Right? So when a lot of people say things or make statements like I don't have time, right? So the reason why you can't get around to doing something or the reason why you promise yourself you start posting content from the beginning of the year and you've not started posting till now, the reason you give was because you don't have time.

[00:44:36]But then the question I ask is how do you know you don't have time? You [snorts] know, and you know, this is even an aside. The first thing I always ask when people or ask it when people say they don't have time is can you tell me what your screen time is and you find out your screen time is about like 5, six, seven, eight, ask for some odog like 13 hours, you know, and that 13 hours not anything products on social media. So you find that a lot of people have time. But the point that I'm trying to make is with your ideal week calendar uh it's very important that you build something like this because this what's going to help you visually see all the things that you're about that you have to do. All right. So there are four steps if I'm not mistaken to [snorts] building your ideal week calendar. The first one is lock your sleep and wake up time. Lock your sleep and wake up time.

[00:45:17]This is the foundation for every single thing. You must decide when you want to go to bed at night and when you want to wake up in the morning. And I'm not like a medical or whatever but then it's very healthy to have good requisite amount of sleep or a good amount of sleep every single day. It's very important right?

[00:45:35]Something that I don't play play with.

[00:45:37]In fact a lot of people get shocked when I see that during exams I don't pull all nighters. The last time I pulled an all nighter was when I was in 100 level if I'm not mistaken right. Um and it's because sleep is very paramount to your productivity. At least paramount to my own productivity. So try to make sure you're getting around six to eight hours of sleep every day, right? [snorts] Um so that's very important. But what I'm even saying is lock your sleep and wake up time. The reason why this is important is because in between that is the amount of work you'd be able to get done. So that time, so if you're sleeping by 11:00 p.m. and waking up by 6:00 a.m., that's 7 hours of sleep. So you know that between 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. is the block of time that you have to do what it is you want to do. And think about it. 6:00 a.m. to 11 p.m.

[00:46:21]That's about 17 hours if I'm not mistaken. Like, so when people say they don't have time, it's just not true. 17 hours. So that's the first thing. And in fact, you can write it down. We can do these steps together, right? U might have to rush through it, but then we can do some of these steps together. So locking your sleep and wake up time. Can we have the next slide? And your major point of duty to make sure that this thing works is even if you don't do anything, forget about being productive for now. Make sure that that time that you say you want to sleep. Make sure that you are sleeping by that time. So it means [snorts] 1 hour to that time you're winding down. So you're you're logging off social media, you know, um your task, you're rounding them off, you're putting your books aside, you know, do that. All right? You want to protect that time because that time is what's going to determine when you wake up in the morning. And when you wake up in the morning is going to determine how productive your day is. And I'm sure you guys know that there are some times you say you want to wake up by maybe 6:00 or 5 and you wake up by 7:00 or 8 and for some reason your entire day is spoiled, right? So it's very important that you protect that sleep time as much as possible. Then the next thing is map out the things that are compulsory to do.

[00:47:27]Map out things that are compulsory to do. So there are things that you just have to do, [snorts] right? Things that are very compulsory for you to do. So um for I mean I'm talking to students. So you have classes, right? Um, and depending on on you know when you have those classes just write them down. What are the compulsory activities that you have to do? I'm not talking about things that you want to do that you made compulsory for yourself.

[00:47:50]I'm talking about things that are compulsory to do. So that's your classes if you're in a faith bit university like my own chapel activities or if you just love the Lord right chapel activities you know you go to church if you are planning conferences um or you have weekly meetings you have clubs that you are part of associations that you're part of these are compulsory things that you cannot move right so even if you wanted to you can't decide when your classes will hold you can't decide when chapel activities will hold you can't decide these things so what are the compulsory activities, you need to write them. And by the way, you can do this on a piece of paper first. All right? I have mine in a calendar, but you can do it on a piece of paper first, just so you can visually see. Write those things down. Monday, what are the things that I have to do on Monday? Tuesday, what are things that I have to do on Tuesday?

[00:48:38]Wednesday, what are things that I have to do on Wednesday? You know, and you keep doing that. Can we have the next slide? [snorts] And you keep doing that.

[00:48:44]So the reason why step two is so important is because what step two is going to make you realize is the amount of time that you actually have to do the things that you want to do. That's what's going to make you realize cuz you find out that maybe the things that you want to do, you want to change your entire life at once. You want to go to the gym. You want to hit a 5.0. You want to build a 10 million business. You know, you want to learn a skill. You you want to start teaching people. Whatever you you realize you want to do all of these things. What step two is going to make you realize is that there is a finite amount of time that you have and you have to give to certain things. So that leads us to step three. Step three is list the things that you actually want to do. So remember step two is list the compulsory activities. Right? What are the compulsory activities that you have planned to do? Right? That's what step two is about. Step three is now listing the things that you want to do.

[00:49:38]So say you want to have you know a summer body, right? Now you you want to start going to the gym, you're going to put that there. Say you want to start learning a skill, you put that there.

[00:49:48]You want to start creating content, you put that there. Just write all of these things down. You don't have to put the time yet. Just write all the things that you want to you want to do that are not compulsory for you to do. All right? So like going to the gym if that's something that you want to do. Um creating content, um maybe learning a particular skill, watching, taking a particular course. Just write these things down, right? Um and then once you write it down, you can just brain dump.

[00:50:14]What I want you to do is start prioritizing them. So you can number them on like hierarchy which one is most important to you. All right? So you know if your academics is important like reading your school books is important, if business is important, prioritize them. And the reason why this is important is because you see I talked to some people different kinds of people and the the people who are the most frustrating to talk to when it comes to balancing stuff are medical students.

[00:50:42]Like it's just so annoying. Like you are the only people that have classes from like 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. every blessed day. Like like I know people are paying a lot but must you use every cent in the money that you are paying? You're the only people that spend so much time in classes. So it's so difficult to help them because one thing that you realize about productivity is not in my slide about productivity that it's not just about having free time. It's not just about having free time. It's about having the energy at that particular time. So say for example, you go to class from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. And let's say you are free from 7 to 11:00 p.m. You can't do so much work or so much cognitive task from 7 to 11. Maybe if you sleep for 2 hours, you can now get work done, you know, in the remaining time. But I mean, so [snorts] it's very important to note that it's not just about having free time. Energy is also important.

[00:51:35]Personally, that's why I like to get most of my cognitively demanding tasks, you know, earlier in the day, right?

[00:51:42]Because that's when I have the most energy. That's when my mind is the freshest. But of course, there are workarounds to that. Like depending on how hefty the goal is to you, you know, you can still come back and work and all these type of things. But number three is list the things that you want to do.

[00:51:58]List the things that you want to do. And then again after step two, you would visually see okay I'm free from this time to this time on so day. I'm free from this time to this time on so day.

[00:52:08]The problem is we want to do equal number of tasks every single day when every single day we don't have an equal amount of free time. Does that make sense? All right. We want to do equal amount of tasks.

[00:52:23]Okay, we want to do equal amount of task. I thought the network had gone off. We want to do equal amount of task every single day, but we can't do that because we don't have an equal amount of time every day, right? So maybe for you Mondays are the freest it means that you want to put a large chunk of your weekly work on Mondays. Does that make sense?

[00:52:45]Right. And it's step two that's going to make you realize or help you realize the free time that you actually have. All right, let's go to next slide, please.

[00:52:53]Um, so after step three, write down all the things that you want to do. Just brain dump here. All right, you can cut things down. In fact, you most likely will cut things out. Chances are that you want to change your whole life at once, different areas. You have to select which ones are priority to you because you only have a limited amount of time. Now, the final is build your default week. All right, drop every single thing in your calendar based off of what matters most and what's most urgent right now. All right. So, basically four, step four is a combination or emerging of step two and three. That's what it's about. So, in step two, and let me show you what that's like um I can't share my screen, but let me let me show you what that's like um on my phone cuz I have a calendar. Um uh I don't know if you guys can see.

[00:53:41]Okay. Yeah, you probably see that. Um so, you can see like time blocks in different places, right? You can see time blocks in different places from when I wake up by I don't know what time is there when I pray when I have do like you can see on Sunday is for chapel it's really long and all the rest right you can see deep work blocks and we'll talk about that but um by the way this Google calendar it's not that deep there's nothing special about this you can use you can just like put this in Google calendar it's not it's nothing special and if you want to have it on your like like as a on your on a piece of paper or a cardboard you can do that as well. But then you'll be able to see your default week. The reason why this is so important is because one of the easiest ways to stay productive if is if you can visually see the things that you want to do, right? Like that's one of the easiest ways to stay productive. If you can visually see the things that you want to do. So I know that I want I want to create content every single day, right? Uh [snorts] um I'll answer I'll answer. Okay, I'm seeing a question in the chat box. But then um I I'll get to that now. But you know that you want to do maybe say you want to create content every single day, right? By the way, just tip if you any tip if you guys create content or anyone here who creates content um you can't create content every single day, edit every single day and post every single day. It doesn't work. So you have to like batch create. So say you want to do that, you have to look at something and find out what day is the freest for me.

[00:55:11]What day is the date that I have the most amount of free time and the way easiest way to do that is by building this calendar that we just described.

[00:55:19]All right, you'd be able to see and for example if you don't have any time free time then maybe content creation is not the right goal for you now unless you can remove some certain things and fit that into it. All right, but that's what step four is about. It's about merging both of them together. All right. Um let's go to the next slide, please. So, any tips for super distractable um minds? Are there things that I I ensure I stick to my schedule? Um very simply, very simply, things that I I do to make sure I stick to my schedule. One, it's very important to note that you will not always stick to your schedule, and that's fine. All right? I'm not going to sit here and tell you that every single time I follow my schedule, am I a robot?

[00:56:02]right? Uh you're not always going to stick to your schedule and that's genuinely okay. It's fine. There's no problem with that. You know, you just want to make sure that and what the calendar is for is to give you a structure to your day. All right? It's to give you a structure today because when you can't see the things that you have to do, anything will literally just be happening to you. For example, if you know you have to work between social time and social time and that's the only time you have that particular day to work, chances are very high or you reduce the chances of picking up your phone and just scrolling on on Tik Tok or Instagram as it were. Does that make sense? Right? [snorts] So, um that's something to note. But then how I ensure that I stick to my schedule most of time is see if I sleep at the time I say I will sleep and wake up at the time that I say I will wake up genuinely most of my day sorted. Of course, different things can come up during the day, and I'll talk about that. But then if I sleep, say I want to sleep by 11:00 p.m.

[00:56:58]I wake up by 6:00 a.m. and I do that, chances are high that my day will be productive to a very large extent. And that's that's why like that's why I started what I started with. Make sure you protect your sleep. And that's even the first thing that's here. Tips for building your calendar. Make sure that you're protecting your sleep, right? You want to make it long enough so that when your alarm goes off you actually will stand up. You want so you want to make sure that you know your sleep time is long enough like why you sleep for 3 hours again. Is this medical students?

[00:57:27]They're the ones that always they're always sleeping for times that are not you know reasonable right if you sleep you're sleeping for 3 hours you sleep for 3 hours or 4 hours and you're wondering why you don't sound stand up to the alarm. Why will you stand up? Are you a zombie? Right? But if you are sleeping for six hours, seven hours, then it's easier that it's easier to stand up when you hear your alarm. All right? And you find out again once you do that, the rest of your day, you know, literally, you know, the the rest of your your day is literally um relatively okay, right? And I'll talk about like, you know, the first question you asked about distractable minds, you know, but then let's let's finish this. Tips for building your calendar. Protect your sleep. Then two, leave room for surprises. When people build their calendar, one of the things that I hear a lot of the time is uh or one of the things that I see is that they pack their entire day with so much stuff.

[00:58:20]They pack their day with so much stuff.

[00:58:22]But then like one of the things that you want to do and make sure that you do is when you're building your calendar, leave free space for certain things. I say justice for medical students. Leave free space for certain things because again nobody's a robot. Anything can happen.

[00:58:42]In fact, for example, if your entire calendar is booked back to back to back to back. If for example your lecturer spends an extra 20 minutes in class, it means that your entire day are spot. But then if you have free space like 1 hour here, 30 minutes here, 20 minutes here, it means that it means that when there are mishaps or unforeseen events or circumstances, you are able to still cover up. Even if for example, you get distracted. Let's say you say you want to check something on your phone and you were checking, next thing you know, you spent one hour on your phone, right? If there's free time in your calendar, you'll still be able to cover up as opposed to if everything was just filled up. All right? And then the final thing is you need to check recheck the things that matter to you. So remember we talked about having um compulsory task and then prioritizing some task. There are different seasons for different things. So maybe this particular season you're having test and you say you want to focus on reading for test. The following week you want to make sure that you cross check again these things that I said were important last week.

[00:59:45]Are they still important this week?

[00:59:47]Right? [snorts] Are they still important this week? It's very important to to do this because your priorities will change. Maybe this week you want to lock in on business, right? I remember I was even going to post this. I remember u couple months ago was not like was in November, November or December, right? I was my allowance I was seeing my bank account go down. My allowance had almost finished and I don't know. I don't know. I've just been like this since I was young. If it's very difficult for me to ask for money.

[01:00:16]Um, so the only money I used to ask is my allowance, right? And then if it finishes before time, I have to find a way to sort myself out. So I remember my allowance finished and I just um told my friend that I'm hungry and I cannot call my father and tell him that the allowance that he sent me has finished.

[01:00:35]So I just put one or two things together, right? I said if I'm hosting I'm having a one-on-one consultation session with was it 10 people? 10 people to pay 10K. The first 10 people that pay 10K will have a one-on-one session with me. You are never going to get it at this price. It's going to be false. The original price is 40K, right? And I remember I was doing sold out sold out sold out sold out. That day I made almost my one month allowance. It was so interesting. So business is so so sweet.

[01:01:05]I'm telling you. So when you see some of those things espec you know ah the money has finished the money has finished you just want to gather something quick even even couple weeks ago no like two weeks ago I built a flash card app and I said this is this is in like two days I made about six something from okay at least money will last me for like two weeks right [snorts] um so you know it's another conversation talking about business. But the point I'm trying to make is that sometimes you are prioritizing certain things.

[01:01:43]Sometimes you are prioritizing your hunger and some other times you are prioritizing u your academics but you want to make sure that every week you are check can we have the next slide please you want to make sure that every week you are checking what is important this week what is important this week what is important this week what's important this week this is not a conversation on goal setting but then something that I think is very important in achieving your goals is and the reason why a lot of people don't is because you find out that I remember um I I set goals in 90day blocks, right?

[01:02:16]That's how I set my goals in 90day blocks. And the entire idea behind that is, okay, 90 days is long enough time for me to achieve my goals, but short enough time for me to be pressured to get something done. I [snorts] remember um the last two 90day blocks that I did, I had a goal, right, to hit like 10k followers on Instagram and I didn't get it. And I was wondering why, you know, cuz I was looking at my tracker, my notion tracker, and I was seeing that every week I was like actually doing my task. But then at the end, I realized that it's not enough for you to do certain things or it's not enough for you to do anything to achieve your goal.

[01:02:55]It's that you have to do the right things, hit the right buttons, press the right combination for you to produce the kind of result that you want. Does that make sense? If someone wants to come in through the door and they are knocking on the window, no matter how much they knock, they are not going to get inside the building. Does [snorts] that make sense? So there are specific tasks that you have to do every single day and if you do them long enough, you will achieve your goal. Anybody for example that researching content and posting about it, you know, or researching how to create good content and is creating good content, eventually things will begin to work out, right? But then if all you do is script your videos, you plan your videos, but you hardly post them, you know, you are doing stuff, you are busy, you are filling your time, but you're not achieving your goals. But that's even just an aside. So let's talk about deep work. This is one of the most important things that you I can talk about when it comes to balancing and then eventually producing results. Cuz by the way, productivity is not about doing stuff. I mean, it's in the name. I don't even know if that's why they call it what it is, but it's about producing stuff. So if I can look at the things that you are doing and nothing is coming out of that then the question is are you being productive? So at each session you're asking what exactly am I producing with the work that I am putting in now right what's ex and that's why K Newport he's the one who comes up with this he talks about two types of work deep work and shallow work he says shallow work is mundane task that does not require any cognitive effort as it were so things like responding to emails responding to messages um doing admin work filling Google sheets you know with something or you know things like that that don't demand so much cognitive ability. That's shallow work. But deep work, it's um can we go to the next slide, please? Deep work is work that requires a lot of cognitive effort. It's focused work that is done without any distraction, [snorts] you know, and requires a lot of cognitive effort. It's undistracted time on one hard task. No phone, no extra tabs on your laptop and no switching between task. It's the opposite of being busy all day and finishing nothing that actually matters. Do you know what I do?

[01:05:04]What I do is every day I make sure I have at least one hour of deep work. So, you know, in my community, one of the things that we do in the habits that we do every day is that we do one hour of deep work daily. And the hour of deep work has to be work has to be spent working on our goals, right? Has to be work spent working has to be spent working on our goals. Um, let me see if I have um I want to show you something on my calendar. It's very difficult for you to see cuz it's on my phone, but let me see.

[01:05:36]Um, okay. So, for example, you see here we have deep work. This is for tomorrow.

[01:05:43]The day after tomorrow, we have deep work. The next day we have deep work.

[01:05:48]So, that that's the stuff that you're seeing in blue, by the way. So the reason why the reason why or or the reason for deep work is to make sure that every single day you are doing something related to your goals. Do you understand? You're doing something related to your goals. So let's say you're like me and you have conferences to plan. You have all of these things that I was doing in school and I'm saying was because I'm already done. All of these things that I was doing in school, planning conferences, etc., etc. I was just doing them because I'm in school and I have to serve, right? they they are not adding anything to my life like directly maybe indirectly I'm learning skills yeah but then what I mean is they are not part of my goals so it means there has to be protected time for the things that I want to achieve every single day and that's what deep work is that it's one protected 90minute block that moves your goals forward now in this time now this is me answering your question um cesar this is me answering your question I don't know if that's a Euroban name it is I'm sorry >> [snorts] >> um for any tips for super distractable minds. See you know the reason you get distracted the reason so there are two ways to get distracted there is um distracted being distracted or distraction by external sources and by internal sources.

[01:07:01]External sources are things like this devil right external source and then internal source is being distracted by your mind. The good thing about external sources that kill them, right? So your phone, if you're working and you don't want to get distracted, simply just put your phone in another room or in a wardrobe or something, right? Or you can put you can download an app blocker if that helps. If you need your phone for like a hotspot or to work on your laptop, you know, download an app blocker or something. All right? You can deal with this one. But for the internal one, that comes by practice. So the more time that you spend without doing anything. So for example, if you get an internal distraction, so bas basically your mind is wandering. One, bring your mind back, right? As simple as that.

[01:07:42]Just bring your mind back and then if you know you find that your mind keeps wandering, the more time that you spend bringing your mind back and not um attending to that dopamine request. So what I mean is usually when your mind wanders, the next thing you want to do is pick up your phone. So it starts with an internal distraction that leads to an external distraction. So you pick up your phone. But then if your phone is not there for you to pick up, you find out that you'll be training your brain in righteousness.

[01:08:10][snorts] So the reason why it's difficult for a lot of people to focus.

[01:08:12]So you find out um you know one of the things that people say is that um you have um we have short attention spans. I actually beg to differ. The task that you are doing is not important to you.

[01:08:21]Don't you focus on your exam for the entire period the exam or if you're watching a movie don't you focus on that movie for the entire period so that what you are doing doesn't matter enough.

[01:08:30]Then that's even an aside.

[01:08:33]Make sure that you um one there are two ways I solve this. One love and enjoy the work that you do. Someone was telling me today that you know I was telling her how much work I had to do today. I had to prepare the slice for this this and so much work I have to get done this week. And she was like ah take don't worry with the way you are going you'll retire early. I said fair enough but personally I enjoy the work that I do. I like creating content. I don't like editing but I like creating content. I like speaking to people. I like coming up with systems and structures. I like consulting. I like teaching. I like doing these things. So, it's easier for my focus to be there.

[01:09:06]Academics on the other hand, that one I struggle with. But then struggle with I mean like to focus as much as I do here. But then the point is internal distractions come but every external distraction is gone. So every external uh if you like lose focus in exam don't be like you lose focus in the exam you know. So you see that is because what you doing is not important to you but that's even an aside. So um internal distractions form but there's nothing external to distract me or nothing external to transfer that distraction to what you would simply do by fire by force is you focus on your task right and like I said if you continue to do this every single day you'd be training your mind in righteousness the reason you can't focus because you've trained your mind in righteousness for so long right and then also just try and reduce your screen time. That's another thing that helps.

[01:09:57]Can we go to the next slide please?

[01:10:01][clears throat and snorts] So that's another thing that helps just reducing um you know your your inclination to to distraction. So how to actually do deep work? Pick one task that actually matters. Decide that task before you sit down. The task can be something you're you're very welcome. So your task can be something within your goals. I usually like to pick tasks primarily from my goals. every other thing that's not within my goals like responsibilities and stuff I find some other time to do it but deep work for my goals then the next thing is kill the obvious distractions again this is the distraction that matters a lot so kill this distraction put your phone in another room but turn off your notifications work in a fixed block of time so usually I have like a timer on my laptop or on my iPad I'm always just like hey Siri set a timer for 60 minutes and then Siri responds with >> 60 minutes starting now >> 60 minutes starting now. So, you know, I usually just do that. And why that's important for me is because when you see the time running down, especially if you can visually see it, you can see the timer running down, it's easier for you to focus because you're not working arbitrarily. You're working within a span of time. And then once that 60 minutes is done, you can take a break for 10 minutes and then go again. You know, um just make sure that you are putting these blocks into your ideal week. So that calendar structure that we came up with earlier, make sure that at least one hour of deep work every day.

[01:11:25]See, let me tell you something. Nobody does anything. Everybody's lazy. So get ahead. Sometimes I I used to wonder why like people praise me, give me accolades on certain things that I do, you know, and I'm like like this is normal now.

[01:11:38]Like everybody should be doing it. I remember when I was 11, people kept on asking me how can I be productive? Like that's why I came up with these systems like what Sabi was saying absolutely so profound. Sometimes we do c I do certain things and then people are asking questions. I have to look within come up with systems like how exactly like this thing that I came up with this ideal week whatever I was not using it before.

[01:11:59]I just had to find like okay what exactly am I doing in my life that is making me productive and I had to bring it out so I can turn them to systems and packages that I can like give to people right but then >> [snorts] >> um what was I even saying? Okay. Yes.

[01:12:14]Nobody does anything. So if you work for one hour on your goals every single day, if if you do that just for 30 days, you'll be miles ahead of the people that are around you, right? You'll be miles ahead. So you know the competition is not even with your peers. It's with global standards. But then to get ahead of your peers, it's simple. Just do more work. And the benchmark has never been so low. So make sure one hour of deep work every day on your goals. One hour of deep work, one hour of deep work, 1 hour of deep work. Right? on days that you are free you can get more hours of deep work done but um that's a very good place to start from. Can we go to the next slide please? So we want to talk about um the next the the third part I I think that's third part in the framework if I'm not mistaken. Yes the weekly review.

[01:13:00]So see one thing that has been very helpful if you ask well there are couple if you ask me one habit that has been instrumental to some of the things I've been able to do it would be deep work.

[01:13:09]But the next thing would be journaling.

[01:13:10]It's so important because what journaling does is when I was a secondary school, I used to have a journal and that journal was more like a was more like a diary, right? But then currently what the journal is now is something to like take the things in my head and like put it down. One is to reduce anxiety. But then two, the second thing that I use a journal for primarily is to course correct. So what do I mean?

[01:13:34]So if you're asking for journaling prompts, every time I talk about journalist, this is the thing that I get asked a lot. journaling prompt. Simple three things. One, um, how did today go?

[01:13:44]Did I achieve the things that I said I was going to achieve? Simple and short, right? Did I achieve things that I said I was going to achieve? Two, why exactly did I achieve the things that I achieved or why didn't I achieve the things I did not achieve, right? And then the final thing, I just write this like three things I'm grateful for so I don't get distracted with life and stuff, right?

[01:14:02]But then those two first prompts are so important because the next day when I'm coming back I will first read the previous day's entry journal entry and see okay I said this was the particular thing that stopped me from achieving my goals today maybe for example I like playing FIFA I spent more time than I wanted to playing FIFA and I slept late right so I didn't wake up early and I was unproductive I now know so today I'm going to make sure that either I set an alarm for when I'm meant to stop playing FIFA or I don't play FIFA at Does that make sense? And if you do this every day, you're going to get a little bit better daily. And that compounds massively. You're going to get a little bit better. So that's what the weekly review is about. So what I just described is a daily review. Then doing a weekly review that every week you pause and you ask yourself, what were the things I set out to do this week?

[01:14:52]How how much of those things got done?

[01:14:55]Right? What were the things that distracted me? What were the things that um helped me stay consistent with my goals? Ask yourself these questions. All right? Ask yourself these questions and then begin to plan, create a structure for the upcoming week. You can do this on Sundays. It's not going to take more than 30 minutes. You can go to the next slide. We're already rounding off. So your questions can start dropping in, right? Um so it's not going to take more than 30 minutes. But then if you do this, you're going to be so much better because it's very very possible that you would go long spans of time, weeks, months, and you find out that you are a shadow of yourself that the goals that you initially set in January, they they are nowhere to be found. It's simply because you didn't cause correct. Can we go to the next slide, please? It's simply because you didn't cause correct.

[01:15:39]All right. See, someone was someone showed me a video today.

[01:15:44]She was like, "This is how I think your life is." that your life is that you you already wearing your gym shoes, you know, you your alarm goes off, you stand up immediately without snoozing it. You wear the shoes, you go to the gym, you work, you come back, you work on your laptop. And I'm like, it's so funny. I used to tell people that um I'm not as productive as you think a lot of people attribute me to be. But then it's okay because I know how to correct very quickly. I know how to correct very quickly. Today was not productive. No problem. Tomorrow should not just be the same. Simple, right? Tomorrow should not should not just be the same. Simple. So this is the whole system in one loop.

[01:16:20]Build your week right inside your week you need to have your deep work. And then every day and even every week make sure you're reviewing and adjusting as you go. Every day and every week make sure you're reviewing and adjusting as you go. And if you keep doing this things are going to be much simpler. Can we go to the next slide? Someone asked a question. How do you train your mind not to focus on the big picture and focus on the tiny drops? There are a couple ways to do this one. And this is the most important. Enjoy the process. Actually enjoy the work that you are doing, right? Enjoy the work that you're doing.

[01:16:52]You know, I I really like as much as I want to hit the big numbers financially, contentwise, I want to hit big numbers um and all the rest.

[01:17:01]I still find a way to derive joy in the present, right? I I still find a way to enjoy the present, the process, and all the rest because it's interesting to become like this version that you are now. if you continue doing things that you're doing, you will not be that version again. So like I mean just en enjoy yourself, you know, because like time passes really quickly. But then also it's to it's to remind yourself and and that's why all of these systems are in place because things will get boring, right? My pastor would always say that the growth is in the boring stuff.

[01:17:32]Growth is in the showing up every single day even when you are not seeing any results. That's where growth comes from.

[01:17:39]All right? Or that's how you derive growth. So you know basically understanding that you are not going to get to that big picture unless the small ones are done every single day. Right? I was reading my notes for this session that I had. I think the incubator we saw it was so brilliant this particular line. Um I was going to steal it. Um it was everything you are now you became and everything you want to be tomorrow you can become. so profound that the version that you are currently you became that version by all the things that you did right your environment your decisions especially right and everything you are going to become or everything you will be eventually you can become you know so it's understanding that the person and version of yourself that you will be tomorrow that big picture can only happen unless today is sorted out unless today is sorted out so before you sleep tonight two things that you can do just an assignment If we're not writing as we're going on um these are just two things you no your lines are not copyrighted two things that you can do map your compulsory activities for next week right what are the compulsory task that you need to get done next week is it business is it academics are there responsibilities in school map them out what are the things that you need to do next week and then finally set and protect your sleep and wake up time so maybe this time this night you've messed up but from tomorrow night what time do you want to go to bed and what time do you want to wake up? In fact, see, you can throw away the calendar if you get this one done right a sleep and a wake up time and simply just try as much as possible remove as much distraction as you can in your day. Find out what's the one thing. Now, let me this is not in my notes, but let me give you a hack. Every time someone tells me they don't have time, this is what I tell them. There are 24 hours in the day, right? Let's say you sleep well for you, you can open the door.

[01:19:31]Um let's say there um there are 24 hours in the day. What you look for charger >> your charger though.

[01:19:41]So um there are 24 hours in the day.

[01:19:44]Let's say you sleep for 7 hours which you you ought to you have 17 hours left in your day right? So let's say u out of that 17 hours you spend like 3 hours doing like cleaning up maybe things like um showering um I don't know using the restroom in your in the day I'm just being generous right you spend 3 hours on that you have 14 hours left let's assume you are like medical student you have classes worth 6 hours daily you know that's how many hours 14 minus 14 - 6 is 8. You have 8 hours left, right? 8 hours left. Now, think about it. Eight full hours left. Let's assume you spend 2 hours out of that talking to people, gisting, and all the rest, right? You have 6 hours left. 6 hours your day. Where is that 6 hours going to? You find that it's going to your phone, right? It's going to your phone.

[01:20:41]So, if you can do something as simple as set your sleep and wake up time, right?

[01:20:46]When you want to sleep, when you want to wake up, remove as much distraction.

[01:20:49]What are the things that can distract me today? Try and remove them and just write the things that you want to do that taking them like things will be so much easier. Right? So that's why I said just start with these two things tonight. Can we have the next slide please? [clears throat] I think that's all basically. So I think that's pretty much everything. Let me see the question. How do you keep the drive for doing the hard things? Yeah, thank you. Thank you very much guys.

[01:21:11]Thank you so much for having me. Um thanks so much for having me. I think that's pretty much everything. Um, I don't know if SB wants to come up now before we eventually take some of the questions that are there.

[01:21:29]Okay, D's in the chat, guys. [laughter] What an intro.

[01:21:36]Okay, how was the session for us, guys?

[01:21:40]Can we give Tega a How do you guys clap in the chat box? I find the clap emoji.

[01:21:47]I It says bra emoji. There's no clap.

[01:21:50]But we should be praying for this country now. Anybody can use the emoji.

[01:21:53]Use it. All right. Uh fantastic, fantastic session. Right. All the English I cannot Englishize was Englishized.

[01:22:02]All right. Thank you. All right. How about you? That was super valuable for you. All right.

[01:22:09]Fantastic. Fantastic session. Good, good, good, good, good, good. I'm trying to take your feedback. So you see my eyes going here. Uh that's where the laptop is for your feedback. Fantastic.

[01:22:21]Great. Great.

[01:22:24]All right. And I think um thank you so so much, Tega. Right. Um I know you're in school and like I said, I knew your network.

[01:22:41][laughter] I told them that when I when I was sending I said when I get network for the [laughter] and I told them that I was going to look for your trouble if your network should be and unfortunately this is recorded live that even if you make it to live there was a day your life might not show your network was not working but thank you so much fantastic session fantastic session um you have been able to in very practical terms um know like I said um it's it's very possible to go for sessions where you have all the grandio stuff but very practical session that you can leave here and begin to execute very very practically with so thank you so so much I'm using style to check if we have any questions but I cannot see any questions so I think right about now I would be allowing tega to drop off [laughter] >> unlike medical students.

[01:23:53]>> So, thank you so much so much so much for your time and um should in case there are more questions I'll get them across to you. By the way, yeah, I almost forgot has something that they call the distinction.

[01:24:08]Is this still open? I I don't know what program you're running now.

[01:24:12]Can you help me?

[01:24:20]>> Can you help me? Like are you What program are you running currently?

[01:24:25]>> What program are you running currently?

[01:24:28]>> Um the distinction circle. Yeah. So that's it's a evergreen.

[01:24:33]>> I can't that's one that's ever green.

[01:24:38]Okay. Tell us about it. Tell us about it.

[01:24:41]Okay. Tell us about it. Tell us about it.

[01:24:44]>> Okay. So, um the distinction, it's a private community for young people that are that want to be around other people that are doing stuff. So, basically people who are in motion, right? You have goals that you want to work on, but you're struggling to do that by yourself. Um so, what we do come into the community and then we have like systems that we give you to make sure you're disciplined. But then what primarily keeps you disciplined is that you are showing up with other people that are like you. Young students as well that are um trying to move forward and advance with their goals and improve the quality of their lives by building better habits. Right? So that's the idea. Every week we have like weekly live calls like this on Google meets where we talk about some of things that were working on um struggles that you had some of the wins that you had you know and everyone is just offering advice and help you know to each other to make sure that we're making progress.

[01:25:37]So that's that's the entire idea behind that basically. Um, so if you want to join, there's a website distinctioncircle.com.

[01:25:47]That's all distinctioncircle.com, you know, and you can just join join us.

[01:25:51]So that's pretty much it.

[01:25:55]Just put put whatever details you need to join somewhere in the chat box.

[01:26:00]Um Um, so uh thank you so much, Taker. So, please put whatever website to join in the chat box and um maybe if there's a contact personnel they could speak to if they have issues. I don't know how much it is. Maybe also put the price there's a price tag there. And yeah, you guys know I don't have anything you can buy into now.

[01:26:29][laughter] I'm not selling anything to you guys.

[01:26:33]Everything we're doing is 100% for the growth of everybody. So um I think it's a fantastic program. If you want to join in the distinction circle, you can join in. All right. Perhaps you should even join me. So take put it there. Okay. It's 5k per month. Ah small money now. That's permit. That's a shawama.

[01:26:58]So um put the website. How do they reach out to you or whatever?

[01:27:04]All right.

[01:27:06]You know, if I'm feeling happy tonight, probably sponsor a couple of people there. Maybe like 10 or 15. I'm feeling happy tonight. 10 will be like 50k.

[01:27:16]Yeah. Or maybe even 20, do like 100k.

[01:27:19]So, let's see how it goes. So, um yeah. So, take put some contact point or website or whatever. even if it's a phone number that they could reach out to so that people who want to join the distinction circle can join in. Okay.

[01:27:36]So, thank you. Thank you so much, Tega.

[01:27:39]I would be letting you off now so you can have your 7 hours sleep.

[01:27:45][laughter] Thank you so so much and have a fantastic day everybody. Have a fantastic day also.

[01:27:57]Great. So, um, how was the session for us?

[01:28:03]It was really, really fantastic.

[01:28:06]I hope it was fantastic.

[01:28:10]All right.

[01:28:12]Okay. So, I will see you guys next week.

[01:28:17]Hey, I'm just receiving a message that my microphone has died. So, maybe you hear sounds now. I apologize.

[01:28:25]All right, I apologize. You hear sound most likely straight from the desktop, but most of my things you'll hear me.

[01:28:32]You can see the glory.

[01:28:35][laughter] Okay. Um, next week we'll be having our final session. It's going to be with another of a solid friend of mine. You know, I I don't throw the word menty around. People use that thing, right?

[01:28:52]But you may know him, you may not know him. His name is Father. He was actually meant to be here. Let me see if I could find the flyer.

[01:29:03]I find it was actually meant to be here today, but it's currently out of his base. So, he had to we had to switch the shadow with Tiger, you know, coming up today. So a Timmy is going to be here with us next week and he's going to we're going to zoom back into marketing.

[01:29:31]So if you're doing anything that looks like AI, that looks like tech, you know, ATV has one of the most ridiculous execution that I know guys somebody [laughter] at executes to a scary level, do you know? All right, that's what I'll let you know. You know, I I've run a company with a before executes to a scary level. That's what I'll see. And I'm not even exaggerating like to an actual scary level, right?

[01:30:07]So, um, he would be coming up next week.

[01:30:12]So, I'm going to show you what the post looks like. So, it's a bit like scattered here and there. Let me have a delete on this place.

[01:30:21]Right. So you see fantastic guy. All right. And all that. So like I said, my job is to help you as much as I can. So this is a uh it's going to be up tomorrow.

[01:30:38]Um I'm going to be up tomorrow.

[01:30:42]So not tomorrow. Next week. So that's maybe session four. So um prepare for him. Very solid guy. Very solid guy. Just trust me on that guys.

[01:30:55]Okay.

[01:30:57]Somebody said I mentioned investication.

[01:31:03]Investigation.

[01:31:06]Can't remember mentioning that.

[01:31:09]All right.

[01:31:12]Um this episode about my five skills.

[01:31:15][laughter] I thought you will forget now. People want to stress me.

[01:31:22]I really can't remember. Right.

[01:31:25]Investigation boot camp.

[01:31:28]So we're currently not running any boot camp maybe anytime soon for this. So I'm like really really wondering where that came up from though. But [laughter] let's see how it goes guys. So for my five skills people, do you guys really like want me to actually like talk about five skills now? Are you guys not tired? Oh, let me take I I realize not my fishing. Are you guys not tired? [laughter] Are you guys not tired?

[01:31:58]Right. I talked about pricing models teaching. It's true. I know that I have a marketing teaching to complete.

[01:32:10]All right, that's a lot of work right there. So, you know what? Um, let's see how tomorrow goes.

[01:32:19]Let's see how tomorrow goes. I said tomorrow, next week goes. I would see.

[01:32:25]Someone said tired care. [laughter] Okay.

[01:32:33]So, uh, since you're not tired, do you want me to go on maybe for another 30 minutes? So, we complete our average of 2 hours tonight.

[01:32:41]Um, you know, the funny part is I remember saying one of the reasons why I bring people is maybe sometimes I don't outrightly even have those capacities.

[01:32:51]Other times I don't have the capacity to explain it like they do, you know. All right.

[01:33:01]All right.

[01:33:02]And in such cases it's better to just bring somebody who has the capacity to explain it better. But as so I want to talk about two things and maybe we'll round it up from there. you know, as TGA was talking, uh, it was just occurring to me that, okay, okay, I actually think I know one or two things about productivity, you know, that would make it easier for you to become productive. And in retrospect, that's what I was saying.

[01:33:33]Now, if you didn't see it, I probably never think about it. I remember a couple of things that I started doing in school. So when I was in school, I was this in fact and I'm not even trying to be braggadocious. I didn't know a lot of the things I was doing was special back then. You know, I had a conference closing on a thousand people attended and we fed everybody at absolutely no cost. No sponsors for the conference.

[01:33:55]Like it was like a miracle. I I don't know anybody that had done it. It was on a Saturday and it rained and before the conference started, we already did overflow.

[01:34:05]I didn't even know. And people ask me, "How do you do?" I'm like, yo, I just did it. [laughter] But there was something I remember that I used to do when I was in school. I was passing by some I can't even remember where they said this and they said something that I think was fantastic.

[01:34:23]They said um that I can't remember what was the back and forth of it, but it was something relating to the concept of what we call golden hours.

[01:34:39]Now I I can't remember I heard it and all that you know but the person says something that we need to realize. You see if you have I don't have my wallet here. If you have a 200 note here you have a 500 note or a,000 notes here both of them are made of the same paper but both of them are not equally valuable.

[01:35:00]They both notes but they are not equally valuable. All right. And it's the same way um in life. So when they explain the con ah it makes sense. A lot of people don't realize that they don't actually just need available time. All right.

[01:35:19]Time is equal. It's one hour across all board. But the value of the hours are not equal across all board. So the same way two papers are the same but their value are different. The same way 9:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to to 10:00 a.m. may be less valuable for you than 9:00 p.m. to 10 p.m. in your calendar.

[01:35:44]Does this make sense? And he said something that you need to find the areas in your life, you know, back then in school, the time blocks that have what we call the highest energy, the highest, you know, the highest mental optimal states. And the person then further went to explain that when you have a combination of that what happens is you realize that 4 hours in the evening may not be equal to 1 hour early in the morning. So I started doing something and I found out because a lot of people don't know it's not just time that gets the job done. It's time plus your capacity to be in an optimal me mental state that gets the job done. Do you understand what I'm saying? All right. And I'll never forget I started doing something uh the school I went to there is what we call ro call.

[01:36:36]So I would go and sign by in fact I have my bath moment I sign by 9 I've slept.

[01:36:42]So usually I'll wake up by 3:00 a.m.

[01:36:44]Right? And I realized that 3 2 3:00 a.m.

[01:36:52]all the way to 6:00 a.m.

[01:36:54]if I studied my books within that period, it was worth more than 8 hours of studying.

[01:37:01]So every morning like that, I would read I would read my books and that's because I didn't also have the luxury of having it com compile, you know. So one of the things that I think would really help your productivity like Tiger highlighted is you want to find what it is where your golden hours are. Let me tell you the truth. Usually your golden hours are usually the first few hours once you just wake up your brain is fresh. Your assimilation is highest. So usually by the time I'm leaving to class in the morning I've read all the stuff. I've gone through all the stuff maybe we did in the last day or the last two days. Do you understand? So all through the day I'm listening in class and doing business. I come back no matter how much the workload is few minutes to 9 like 15 20 minutes I shower do my work up by now and I sleep. I close my eyes and force myself to sleep. Right? Wake up and I mean if you sleep by 9 on the average your body will wake up 2 three by time I wake up take a shower I'll read for 4 hours 3 hours straight right and because I'm not compiling all the stuff that I had to read is just so one of the things you have to realize is that hours are equal but they're not equally valuable.

[01:38:18]All right, your golden hours. Number two is um somebody asked a question that I think is really fantastic.

[01:38:30]All right. He said, and it's something I just found out that look, all of us are in discipline in our own waveform, shape or size. And it's something I've taught on very, very many times. And it's the concept of what I would call the exam effect. And what is the exam effect is very simple. Human beings do not do what they should do.

[01:38:53]They only do what they must do. So I remember back then uh you know everybody resume in school now first week they say ah I will be reading if I read every day you know blah blah blah blah blah blah blah so I'll be reading every day every weekend I'll read what to do through the week first week you explain to yourself that you need what they call that thing your mental health needs to be balanced you know that and before you know it you move on to the next move on to the next and guess what a night to exam your exams have shown up and then now you are doing video the problem is not the video that you're doing but the problem is that if you had done just 10% of that video at the beginning of the semester you will not be doing what you are doing now you know what you now tell yourself you now tell yourself hm if I read like this is the beginning of the semester I will not need to read half as hard as I'm reading now. Therefore, next semester I will start how early. [laughter] And guess what? You will not start early again [laughter] and all that, right? But the reason why once you saw your exam timet, you began to become ridiculously good. You began to do extraordinary things. It seemed like all your discipline was fractured.

[01:40:25]You know why? It's because you could not shift exam. So write this down. Every time you transfer your discipline to factors outside your control, it becomes easier to become disciplined. Should I say that again? Every time you transfer your discipline to factors that are outside your control, it becomes easier to become disciplined. So one of the things you must be able to do, you must be able to say, okay, how can I transfer my doing this thing not to totally be in my hands?

[01:40:58]All right. How can I commit beyond my capacity to quit?

[01:41:04]Are you following what I'm saying? And one of the ways that it really does happen to me is very simple. If I want to do a program, I go and put out a poster first so that I have committed myself to I mean how many of you when I put out this poster you were anticipating students see you I'm going to finally have some sessions of training how of you like that first week it not happen of you like sir soft reminder [laughter] I because I've committed myself I'm really in fact fun fact you see every student see you everything I work is what I want from church cuz I walk in straight on the average into the program like this is if you check my church stream this is what I was wearing because I walk in straight I'm I'm ridiculously tired but I've committed to you guys so sometimes what to solve your entire problem you know let me tell you something a couple of people that are like my friends you know one of my core tenants is spirituality so like I don't know how many like 10 of us in the group guys that I hold accountable mutually. You know what? We're in a group every day. There are a couple of things you're meant to do. Pray for a certain number of hours, read a certain number of chapters, and listen to a resource. That's a message every single day, right? And do you know, see, there's no explanation.

[01:42:25]The moment you don't do it by 12 midnight, you pay 5K.

[01:42:30]See, see the way people are consistent.

[01:42:34][laughter] You pay 5K to the person that spot you out. So all these people are saying I don't know how to pray like this. You know I was on a call with somebody yesterday. I said ah it's 2 hours I don't get 5K for anybody. Now it's not a lot of money but the amount of consistency that is helping a large to keep is scary. Some of you to call two, three, four, five of your friends. You say look this is what I want to do every single day. This I'm telling you you know you know we we used to joke about it to ourselves. You say your spiritual letter is expensive because [laughter] if you don't pray, if you don't lose resource, you don't come sharp like this, you know your 5K, go buy shama, [laughter] right? So imagine you had two, three, four friends that will not have mercy on you.

[01:43:34]Put yourselves in a group. Put yourselves in a group. not to say these are the things I must do every day.

[01:43:41]Don't let don't let it be too much.

[01:43:42]Maybe not more than five. Maybe you can even med it. Maybe if you have faith tenets, spiritual things, merge it with the what do you call them? Um your physical things, whatever, however you want to do it, right? You do it sharp 5K. Don't even like if your friend has mercy on you, they costing you your future. I'm telling you, there are people that I know now, they have read their Bibles every day, more than they have read since they were born up till now combined together. On top of how much? 5K, you know. So sometimes you need to design your life in such a way that you have outsourced your discipline to an external factor that is beyond your control. All right? You know see what I'm saying now. If take not come and sell this all this my head but I don't know how to explain to you guys [laughter] that's I used to bring them so that they would they will stare the water and all that maybe by the time some of you this thing I'm saying [applause] is the distance between you and the first class in the university you not pass like that we over complicate what it takes to be successful We do you imagine this thing now you change it to I'll read you get I don't know maybe everything I learned in a week every I don't know and then the most important thing is you have an accountability system that cares more about your future than your emotions period and because the friend knows he or she's going to gain 5k or 10k if I'm me I ask you I mean 5k 10k is very small money but uh money can buy four now.

[01:45:35][laughter] Simple like that too, you know. So ask how do you stay consistent? I said Bruna 5k [laughter] but that mean 5k no pass like that. So anyways um I hope that's valuable for you. All right. Um so I think I will end the session now. All right. So next week when a TI talks about a lot of outbound marketing, how to go and get clients.

[01:46:07]All right. I would I would maybe then have conversations with you about the five generic skills and tie them with the marketing. Take all the questions that I have to take and then that would be the end of the student CEO program.

[01:46:25]Right? I hope this has been valuable for you. Like I said, genuinely speaking, our goal here is not to monetize or to upsell or crossell you or anything. We have new products, but I genuinely just feel like I owe the university community some level of giving back and this is it. So, thank you so much. Thank you so much for joining in. Like I said, next week we have a Timmyi.

[01:46:57]He'll be here taking us on a fantastic session. Till then also um the Lord has touched my heart. So I'm releasing the recordings to you guys. I don't know how long they'll be up for but you could always rewatch this also. I don't think we have released recording too as at this time but we would send recording to maybe today and maybe just leave this one up so you could join in. Thank you so much everyone for joining in. Thank you TGA for that fantastic session. I don't know if you said online and I will see you on the fourth and the final session of the student CEO program. Till then I remain bul and I want to see you win guys. Have a great day.

[01:47:54]I was talking big but I live too small now I wake up focus get my give my all me tried to win by the empty flex me on my knees [music] got to clean a step one life one path I'm going to walk it right every star got a story now I'm made for life I've been changing day [music and singing] by day no more running in place I can feel that [music] way falling off my name when I rise I rise with purpose when I [music] He makes me steady.
