what if everything you want is on the other side of 3 days this is Mountaineer Killian Jette setting a world record by climbing Mount Everest not in 60 days in 3 days twice then we got the Strange Case of Dr Jackal and Mr Hyde one of the most iconic books ever written and the entire first draft was written in 3 days you don't need a year you need 3 days to change your life we're going to break down how people do it how you can steal their homework how to take your one-year goals and put
them into a matter of days it comes down to one thing moving fast but how do you actually do that well you copy how the most successful people in the world move more quickly than you do to achieve their goals so here are the simple Frameworks they use that if you inserted it into your life will make you quicker than 99% of people and to prove just how much can be done in 3 days I'm doing something I've never done before but you will have to wait to the end first up is the 730 rule
which means stop aiming to be perfect and start aiming for Progress this framework is so effective Ive Jeff Bezos built his entire Empire on it he's doing pretty fine he calls it the two-way door concept most decisions are two-way doors you pick a door you walk out it turns out to be the wrong decision you can come back in and pick another door some decisions they really are one-way door decisions those decisions have to be made very deliberately very carefully when Amazon launched one day delivery they didn't want the perfect Logistics they started with about
70% confidence refined the process as they went and quickly dominated the market Bezos even said said himself most decisions should probably be made with around 70% of the information you wish you had if you wait for 90 you're being slow most of what slows things down is taking too long to make decisions so it has to be part of the culture to get high velocity the Strategic Management Journal found that companies making quick decisions outperformed those that delayed progress over Perfection but make it data next time you're stuck set a timer give yourself 30 minutes
to gather information and make the call do I have 70% of what I need if the answer is yes you go for it you can always pivot later I love this one it'll help you get what needs to be done the Navy Seals use this in every single framework that they do I should know my husband was a Navy SEAL it's a concept called goal shielding think of it as like Marie condo your priorities you ask yourself for each task is this critical essential or enhancing critical is you don't have a tire you can't drive
a car it has to be fixed now essential is you're not out of gas but you're kind of close so it's a priority enhancing you you'd like to have a supercharger for your car but you don't need to have it author one of my favorite books Seven Habits of Highly Effective People has a great line on this the key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule but to schedule your priorities seems obvious Nobody Does this see where you can save 3 minutes or 5 minutes or 10 minutes and those minutes become hours and days
and weeks that is how you make time you use this framework you'll quickly find yourself with more time less stress fewer emergencies that aren't really emergencies I'd start by trying to do this with your own to-do list look at every task and ask which one is this watch how much lighter your schedule gets when you focus on the first two categories and nothing else have you ever felt like you're frantically working but at the end of the day you've accomplished nothing that's what I call the delusion of doing meetings endless planning asking for advice to
make you feel productive these are just busy work and doing the thing is going to take you a lot further than listening to the H hundredth book or podcast about doing the thing you're still not doing it Elon Musk most productive man on earth is known for running his companies like this when Tesla was built its first gigafactory for example they didn't even wait to finalize the design before they started breaking ground they started construction then they figured things out the result they beat their competitors to Market and have become a multi-billion dollar company I
heard another saying they use in the military that I love which is a good plan violently executed Now is better than a perfect plan executed next week stop thinking start doing the five minute rule if something takes less than 5 minutes do it now the people that are the fastest to reply are nearly always the most successful people I know I've also found that if it takes 30 seconds you should really do it now I am a psychopath about my time I am not going to respond to every email in 5 minutes but I am
going to make sure that if there's a task that I could do during a meeting immediately I'm going to do it this is the reason why a lot of times people go how do you get stuff done so quickly cuz I never wait for the end of the meeting when you say you're going to do a thing it takes less than 30 seconds or 5 minutes do it now this is how you don't let the small get in the way of the big it's what's called opportunity cost right time thinking about doing the 5-minute task
rather than actually doing it that turns into the five-minute task every time you notice a quick task replying to a message putting something away just do it especially if you don't want to do it famously Mark Twain said if you're going to eat a frog eat a first thing in the morning if you're going to eat two eat the big one first Elon Musk has a strict no meetings rule at Tesla and SpaceX the basic rule for the meetings is that unless somebody's getting enormous value from the information they receiving uh they should not be
there if something needs to be discussed he picks up the phone period which is fascinating like this Harvard Business Review they show that Executives spend 23 hours a week in meetings and we all know most of that isn't needed next time someone invites you to a meeting ask yourself can this be solved with a quick call can it be solved with a slack challenge yourself for one week try replacing every non-essential meeting with a 10-minute phone call if you've never read this book you must this is one of the biggest lessons in the book the
less meetings you have in your life the better not only will you save time but you'll also leave space in your day for the stuff that actually matters not ones that are totally unnecessary just to prove that somebody's actually working to prove quite how much you can do in 3 days I am doing something I've never done before I am hosting a 3-day event which will be all about buying businesses and how to accelerate decades into days through business acquisitions by the end of it you guys will know everything you need to know about how
to buy a business you'll go deeper than anything we've ever talked about and and you won't have to start a startup and make no money you could actually buy a business that already makes money
