Hello Sirrrr,

What you're about to read will help you take a vacation to Lake Tahoe, be the envy of all your friends, and maybe even get that girls attention.

I don't know if it will actually do any of that.

What it will do is give you 13 reasons to make this week count.

This whole system of systems works because of the cumulative effect of marginal gains.

1% better matters.

Trifecta - a bet in which the person betting forecasts the first three finishers in a race in the correct order.

This system is ordered.

The Big Problem:

You don't measure your results.

You don't explore your interests.

what you say you want, and what you actually want are at odds. (based on the current results in your life)

You don't want self accountability

You're afraid if you really try you'll fail, and you tell yourself that's worse than never trying and failing.

All you want to do is turn your brain off after a long day and not have to think about your life anymore.

Why I hate systems and use them anyway.

Growing up I hated details.

I was TERRIBLE at them.

I know that may seem hard to believe.

My work requires me to be detail oriented and systematized.

I've learned that to create consistently good results requires systems.

You don't rise to the the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems - James Clear.

so if you are like I was and you hate systems and structure you aren't alone.

And what I've found is structure creates safety and progress. It doesn't make life perfect.

I hope by sharing these three systems with you you can add one more puzzle piece to this life you are building, creating something beautiful one step at a time.

The 12 week year (the execution system)

Here's what I've found

Structures create safety.

"Total freedom is false freedom, true freedom has healthy boundaries." - The Accidental Creative

1. Use the 12 week year as your execution system.

2. Use Benjamin Franklins secret to success as your education system

3. Use the big three as your creative breakthrough system.

Here is what that means:

Use the 12 week year as your execution system.

Create a vision for your life.

If you don't know where to start, create an anti-vision. You know what you don't want (you've seen it modeled in other people's lives)

You know you don't want:

Live a boring a life.

Without a relationships with God.

Stagnate in your learning.

Addicted to anything (drinking, drugs, people's affirmation, porn)

Be in a job where you can't prioritize the people who you love most.

Unhealthy to where you can't be athletic or explosive.

Turn what you said you didn't want around.

Living life on the edge.

Close relationship with God where I'm aware of his presence constantly.

Constantly growing.

Addicted to God (what you are designed for).

Have a business that you love and allows you to prioritize the relationships you value most.

Be Athletic and explosive in your health

Apply that Vision to your medium term vision, your next 12 weeks, and your next week.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish." Proverbs 29:18A

Without hope it's easy to stop trying.

With activity linked to your vision it's easier to do what you said you'd do, even when you don't feel like it.

What I've loved about the 12 week year is there is weekly measurement. Which means if you get off course, it doesn't take a month or a year to realize. You get daily and weekly feedback.

WAM (weekly accountability meeting) give you the support of others who are applying this same concept in their lives.

This is like an airplane pilot course correcting as they travel from Florida to LA. 1 degree off and they'll end up in Canada, or Mexico. But with constant readjustments they'll make it to LA.

The same is true of the 12 week year. If you know where you want to go, have a system to help you get there, and make small adjustments on a weekly basis you will get there. (and may be surprised how much progress you can make in just 12 weeks)

the 12 week year gives you a moment in the 13th week to reassess before diving back into activity for the next days. it makes every day count. And that is the biggest gift in all of this. Today matters. your life changes one today at a time. And if today looks just like yesterday, tomorrow will too unless you change your today.

After implementing this system it’s time to develop your education system.

Benjamin Franklins Secret to Success (your education system)

Choose 13.

13 what?

13 subjects that you want to learn about and will make a difference in your business and your life.

Here is the example from How I raised myself from failure to success selling:

1. Enthusiasm,

2. Order: self-organization,

3. Think in terms of other's interests

4. questions: key issues

5. silence:listen

6. sincerity: deserve confidence

7. knowledge of my business

8. appreciation and praise

9. smile:happiness

10. remember names and faces

11. service and prospecting

12. closing the sale

13. action.

Here is Benjamin franklins set of 13: (the reason he gave for all his success in life)

1. Temperance: Eat not to dullness. Drink not to elevation.

2. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation.

3. Order: Let all your things have their places. Let each part of your business have its time.

4. Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve.

5. Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself: i.e., Waste nothing.

6. Industry: Lose no time. Be always employed in something useful. Cut off all unnecessary actions.

7. Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit. Think innocently and justly; and if you speak, speak accordingly.

8. Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

9. Moderation: Avoid extremes. Forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.

10. Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes, or habitation.

11. Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.

12. Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring; never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.

13. Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

Here is my Current set of 11 (still evolving)

1. Enthusiasm

2. Order

3. Unreasonable hospitality

4. Writing

5. Interior design

6. Graphic design

7. Prospecting

8. Closing

9. language learning

10. Memory training (Remembering names)

11. Theology

Learning inside of a structure that is cultivated and curiated based on your personal intersests and desired outcomes.

When You choose the 13 subjects and combine it with with the urgency created by the 12 week year, the next step is to have the creative brain power of knowing what your big 3 are.

The Big three (your Creative Break Through system)

Your subconscious is powerful.

But you probably aren't letting it work on the ideas you really need it to.

1. Write down what 3 problems you need creative insight on and have them somewhere you will see them each day.

Here is how I used it (this week)

1. know what idea you need and write out the basic idea

   1. For me this meant I need to make 3 reels about the giveaway, incentivize more poeple to know about my business and book more detailing for the month of april.

2. After I have the basic structure I then take an intentional break. (For me this meant do a light workout, Sauna, take a shower then come back to it while intentionally not thinking abut this work) 2-4 hours is recommended or over night.

3. While I was in the shower at the very end I had a few different ideas hit, such as the facebook group posts being valuable, how each one of the reels would target a different personality type and demographic (parents and people peopel are different than the anylitical numbers driven people)

4. I finished writing the scripts for the 3 different reels and shot them.

time is the biggest aspect to this. Once you've identified the problem your brain will find solutions. It's a process to trust yourself to step away knowing that by taking a step back, you'll have more clarity.

You unleash a firestorm of improvement that isn't possible without the structure and accountability of these three put together.

How to apply this:

Like a trifecta, order matters.

1. Start with the 12 week year - Create a vision for your life and the next 12 weeks

2. Choose your 13 subjects - Start on the first one this week (if the 12 week year is already implemented)

3. Write out your big 3 and put it on a wall in your home. (which creative problems you're looking for insight on)
