Today I want to talk about ten strategies that keep me sane and productive during lockdown, or any other time I’m working from home day after day. If you’re new to remote work, want to spice up your routine, or just need to listen to something for ten minutes to entertain yourself, this is going to help you.

Get up at the same time every day. When you stop following a routine, things can get out of whack pretty easily.

Get dressed. There’s a mentality that goes along with being dressed versus having no pants at 5:00PM. It makes you take yourself more seriously.

Scheduling. If there’s no boundaries, you may not be disciplined with your time or you may overwork. Put everything on the calendar so you can maintain balance with work and free time.

Reach out to your friends and family. The world has slowed down and it’s a great opportunity to catch up with people.

Workouts are important. Don’t miss or neglect them, and hold yourself accountable.

Make time for your hobbies. Time block the things you want to do and maybe haven’t had the time to try out yet. It’s a bit easier to make time for them right now.

Schedule breaks. This is important as it’s easy to get caught up in your work which leads to burnout and ultimately, less productivity.

Don’t get interrupted. This is a big adjustment for most people as you’re not used to being around your significant other or family. Switching tasks can be detrimental.

Do a work challenge. Push yourself, because now is the time to be building and not pulling back.

What does it really take to grow to $1,000,000 in sales? You would think that this would be really hard to do, but in the United States alone, there are 35,000 non-employer businesses that surpass this in net income. If other people can do it, you can do it too. Today, we’re going to talk about the four steps to get there. Before that, I’ll tell you about the foundation you need to build first.

Step one is to get results-based testimonials. The more the better. They show what the person’s life was like before working with you and what it’s like after. The most important part of your business is the outcome you provide; not how you get the outcome, not how many hours you work, and not the level of service. These things help you compete, but the most relevant aspect is the before and after.

Next, we must master lead generation on one channel. You don’t need to be on every single channel to scale to $1,000,000. Pick the one that you like which has your customers and get really, really good at it. This could be anything from running Facebook ads to knocking door-to-door. Determine how many leads you need to get to $1,000,000 and then get them.

Step three is to hire a salesperson. At my company, we only hire commission-based salespeople and they get paid at the end of the month. This means that everybody can afford a salesperson. If you have leads and a proof of concept, then this is a win-win-win relationship; value is being provided to everyone involved. The only people losing should be your competitors. Remember, a salesperson won’t save your business if you don’t have a solid foundation.

Finally, you must standardize delivery. Two times the clients should not mean two times the work for you. A lot of people don’t want to hire someone because they want to make all the profit, but that’s not a good way to scale. You need to put staff in place to fulfill the order.

Sometimes I experience deafness when it comes to advice from people that are further ahead of me. The advice just doesn’t mean anything to me, and it’s not until I look back and see my struggles that I finally understand what they were saying. Without that perspective, it can be hard to understand the advice we get.

Each year, I look back and see what lessons I learned so I don’t make the same mistakes. Let’s walk through 19 things I learned last year.
1. If you’re already having success, it’s not about how hard you work; it’s how much unique value you are bringing to the marketplace.

2. There are ebbs and flows that are out of your control. Ride the wave instead of being mad that it exists.

3. Don’t assume that growth will always be at the same pace.

4. Education and mentorship are some of the most important activities in a business.

5. Longevity is cooler than maximizing revenue and profits.

6. There are only a few things that make a difference in a business.

7. Read more. This goes along with taking the time to think.

8. Personal growth translates to business growth, and the same goes for shortcomings.

9. Find something to win at outside of business.

10. Money doesn’t change your personal relationships. They require just as much effort.

11. Money does reduce stress as long as you are building systems.

12. There’s a cost to everything. Simplify your life.

13. There’s no reason you can’t do the things you want to do right now. You just have to pay the price.

14. Skills and leadership beat everything else, as always.

15. Execution is so much more important and so much harder than ideas.

16. We claim to understand more about ourselves than we actually know.

17. Learn from all subjects and all industries.

18. Do cool projects with cool people.

19. The things that take the longest to do are the most rewarding.

These are the lessons I’ve learned, and I hope I can internalize these lessons moving forward.
