4 Barriers Keeping You From 10X-ing Your Revenue​

New Free Workshop

In the process of building 3 brands to 7 figures - I've made a lot of mistakes and have had to overcome many barriers.

And after having spoken to 1,000s of other founders, I've come to realize that many founders have faced the exact same challenges and barriers.

But the cool thing is, if you can move past these barriers, your success is almost guaranteed.

On Thursday, August 24th, I'm hosting a workshop where I'll reveal 4 barriers keeping you from 10x-ing your revenue, and how you can overcome them.

Here's a bit of what I’ll be covering:

• My Step-By-Step Method For 10x-ing Your Audience Growth
• The Winning Habits of Relentless Founders
• Little-Known Tweaks That Instantly Turn Lukewarm Offers Into Viral Sensations
• The Importance of Viciously Defending Your “Environment”
• Plus much, much more…

If you're tired of feeling "stuck" in your business, and are ready to break through to the next level - I hope you'll grab a spot to attend this training.

Now, back to 6 core systems I use to lighten the load of running successful businesses.

Routine is the bedrock of productivity.

Surprisingly, it can even fuel creativity.

Our brains thrive on patterns and predictability and in the creative world of being a founder…

Consistency is often the unsung hero behind success.

When you set a routine, you train your mind to anticipate specific tasks, leading to improved focus and decreased susceptibility to distractions.

Your time is your most valuable asset, you don’t want to waste it.

Below is my morning routine. And I stick to it even as I’m traveling:

• Sunlight
• Meditation
• Exercise
• Cold Shower
• Block off 3-4 hours for deep work
• No meetings, no social media
• Produce and create

In addition to having a routine, it’s important that you make a plan for each day.

Dale Carnegie said - “An hour of planning can save you 10 hours of doing.”

Each day should come with its own game plan, ideally crafted the afternoon or evening before when tasks and priorities are still fresh in your mind.

With this strategy, you can begin your mornings with clear intent, not wasting time having to make a lot of decisions.

While prioritization is essential for productivity…many founders still lose a lot of time executing the tasks on their to-do lists.

But just because your tasks are non-negotiable, doesn’t mean they have to be time-consuming.

Odds are, there are tools you could use to increase your daily efficiency by 50% or more.

I recommend that you take note of everything you do in a day that either:

• Takes more than 10 minutes to do
• You repeat more than once

Because there are probably tools that could help you with the task.

Here are some of the tools I use:

• ​TextExpander + Text Replacement - Allows you to templatize commonly used responses or messages
• ​Freedom - Blocks or puts time limits on websites
• ​FollowUp - Automates email follow-ups
• ​Grammarly - Automatically proofreads your content
• ​Notion - A workspace for staying on top of tasks, building company wikis, and housing templates
• ​Hypefury - Maximize your Twitter reach with automatic retweeting of popular tweets and strategic call-to-actions
• ​Twemex - Allows you to automatically find the top-performing post of your favorite creators and more
• ​Blackmagic - Delve deep into Twitter analytics and streamline interactions with influential profiles

Content creation is one of THE most important things you should be doing as a founder.

But just because you need to be creating content to grow your brand, doesn’t mean you need to spend all day with a Google Doc open.

I’ve managed to systemize and streamline a content creation process that allows me to create up to 60 days' worth of content in as little as an hour.

​(You can read more about it here.)​

It all revolves around my Content Waterfall System, where I use a pillar piece of content as the core for a variety of other content.

I take time each month to plan out my content for the next 30-60 days, and then I have designated times over the month devoted to creation.

Ultimately you have to find a cadence that works best for you.

Writing is my true passion, so I work on Twitter threads every week.

Recording is not as life-giving to me, so I’ll batch-create all my video content across 2 days.

One day devoted to scripting, one day devoted to recording. This allows me to pump out anywhere from 30-60 days' worth of short-form video content in one go.

AI has become one of the most powerful time-saving tools I’ve ever used.

And personally I think if you’re not leveraging AI, you’re going to be left behind.

Not because I want you to outsource all your content creation to a robot…

Do that and it’s inevitable that your brand will slowly become more and more bland…

I’m talking about using AI as an enhancement to the creative process.

Here are some ways I leverage AI:

• Idea generation - AI can analyze current market trends, social media buzz, and even your previous content to suggest relevant topics that resonate with your audience
• Audience insights - AI can analyze the behavior of your audience and come up with pain points, hopes, fears, challenges, and more that you can incorporate into your copy
• First drafts - ChatGPT can help draft content based on given prompts, saving you hours when batch-creating content

I actually have an exciting new free resource coming soon where I share some of my most-used prompts.

(Stay tuned for details…)

In the meantime, here’s one of the prompts I use to help with thread creation.

“Write an engaging thread about [topic] by [author] as if it were written by [voice].

Create a hook for the thread that is inspired by a tweet that has over 100,000 likes.

For each subsequent tweet in the thread have 1 headline tweet, 1 or 2 powerful sentences and then 3 bullet points, and conclude with one powerful sentence that is highly sharable.

Use the thread below as an example of how to write it:”

Just copy and paste that into ChatGPT and:

• Plug in your topic
• Plug in the person who talks about it
• Plug in the writing style you want to emulate
• Include an example of a thread you like
• And get ripping

My mission here at Founder OS is to inspire 100,000,000 founders to automate their businesses and hit $5M a year in profit.

There’s no way I could accomplish that by myself.

Not to mention - one of the biggest ways to save time is to simply outsource time-consuming tasks.

Essential tasks still get done, but I’m able to focus my creative juices and energy on things that allow for massive leaps of growth.

Here are some of the positions I recommend you fill as soon as possible:

• Virtual assistant (I use virtualassistants.io - the team is awesome)
• Copywriter
• Graphic designer
• Funnel expert
• Finance specialist

When you go to hire someone, make sure they have these qualities:

• Smart - Agile, able to think and make decisions independently. High attention to detail
• Hard worker - Operates at 110% by default, driven, and doesn’t need constant supervision
• Good character - Has high integrity and puts the betterment of the business before their own
• Resilience - Rolls with the punches without losing their drive or conviction

Then create your own Project Manager OS where all the tasks are stored, and hold a bi-weekly review meeting to ensure everyone’s on track.

The right people are self-directed and don’t require much managing, as long as you have planned sync-ups on a semi-regular basis.

And with each key hire, you’ll find your schedule frees up more and more.

Work and play aren’t two opposing forces - they’re two sides of the same coin.

Engaging in playful, rejuvenating activities is scientifically proven to bolster productivity and creativity.

It can also help reduce burnout, enhance your cognitive functions, and help improve your emotional well-being.

Too many founders are waiting until they “make it” to take time off and enjoy things they love.

This can actually HINDER your growth, not help it.

And it puts you at severe risk of burning yourself out...which means that all the effort you have been putting in might have been in vain.

If you find that you seem to be operating slower than normal, it might be time to go do something you love.

You’ll come back refreshed and energized, and find that you’re naturally more productive because you’re operating from a space of fullness.

There you have it, 6 of the core systems I use to lighten the load of running successful businesses.

If you're ready take your efficiency and productivity to the next level (like the founder I mentioned earlier who automated 95% of his tasks for 5 weeks)...

Then I'd highly encourage you to join Founder OS.

The price is going up on September 1st, and there are only a few weeks left to join at the current investment.
