Your Effort is in Your Control

However much effort you expect it to take to hit your goal, 10x it.

If you think you need to talk to 5 people a day – find a way to talk to 50.

If you think you need to get 10 people in your Facebook Group each day, find a way to get 100.

If you think you need to write 200 words of your book a day – imagine what would shift if you committed to 2000 words a day.

The beauty of increasing your effort is that nothing else needs to change.

No one needs to give you permission.

You don’t need to wait for anything.

You have total control.

No matter how crazy the outside world gets, you always have the power to put in 1000% effort.

And it doesn’t have to mean putting in more time or hustling yourself into the ground.

You can win or lose a game of tennis in the same 90 minutes.

You can write 100 words or 1000 words in the same 60 minutes.

You can send the same email to 5 people or 50 people in 10 minutes.

I learned this lesson because of the wild ride that 2020 threw at us all.

I didn’t have a choice but to put in 10x more effort than ever before. Not 2x. Not a bit more. 10x more.

• I went down to the mall and asked strangers to subscribe to my YouTube channel.

• I posted in over 250 other Facebook groups.

• When I first started my Facebook group, I’m not kidding when I say I spent 3 hours a day, every single day for a month to grow it to 500 members. (I’ve got the excel spreadsheet of my effort if y’all want to see!).

I started believing in my ability to control my own results. Because I control my effort.

How will you put in 10x more effort for your goal this week?
