Here is how:
1) Work smarter not harder.
If I didn't know about voice typing, there is no way I would have been able to write that book.
I got WAY more on the page by venting to my computer rather than hacking away at the keyboard.

2) Focus on ONE thing at a time, preferably the most important thing.
In Jan 2020 I left my job and ran my company full time. I had to focus on the high-leverage business opportunities. THEN use that money to increase my productivity.

Example: I did a lot of investing summits last year. That "cost" me 1-2 hrs of my time in exchange for $1k+ in ticket sales or an opportunity to take on a coaching client.
With that $ I can now hire a proofreader for the book or someone to help w/marketing. Or my own ads to increase my revenue.
I had to ask, "Which of these goals will help me accomplish the other goals faster?" This helped me decide what needed to be done & what could wait.

3) Celebrate & take care of yourself.
I set aside about 5% of my revenue to pay myself a quarterly bonus. When I hit milestones, I get to splurge on things.
Graduation = Cowboy boots & new wireless ear buds
Finished the book = Trumpet (yes, random I know lol)

4) Take advantage previous experiences.
While none of this was easy, I had the advantage of being in the investing world for 10 yrs.
So writing or presenting on a money topic isn't new. This means I am not starting from scratch every time.
I couldn't do this in year 1.

No matter what your goal is you have to be consistent & strategic about how you use your $$.
Finally, "hire" the right products, courses or ppl that can help you be as efficient as possible.
Anything I excelled at in 2020 was the result of a class I took on the topic.
