one of the things I've always done like
when I even learned NLP when the first
real dynamic set of tools I learned
psychologically I would go these classes
with these psychologists and
psychiatrists and we'd have an all-day
session which their idea of all day was
four hours and I'd be like it'd be like
we'd start at ten and at noon we're
taking lunch I'm like what the hell are
we going you know over go to lunch for
an hour and a half and then we come back
at 1:30 and sure enough by 3:30 or 4:00
was the end of the program it's like
Jesus you know the only you name to a
quarter of a day so I took the rest of
time and I extracted everything I could
from what I learned there are people
with ten times more skill than I had our
ability but my level of application
compared to theirs I'd warped it and
it's because while I was still there I
didn't leave the environment I've always
had this belief if you want to be
successful at anything in life never
leave the sight of setting a goal
without doing something that commits you
to fulfillment if you get like you're in
state right when you do something while
you're in state that's the time to
commit yourself to something that makes
you follow through I'm talking about
here say I so I call somebody up I'd
schedule something I'm locked in the
next meeting I sign up for the class I
didn't roll the guy who was gonna mentor
me I'd set the meeting with a mastermind
the people I met I did something so that
whatever I committed to there was
something when I went home that would
told me there its structure in fact I'll
give you a five C's the RPM just as a
quick warm-up for you how's that you
don't remember it'll be okay but it'll
be in your unconscious from when you go
work with a coach these are the five
sees everything that comes in your mind
anything you can think of because we're
going to basically do a little mini rpm
version of things right now anything
comes in my mind I'm here and while
you're here doing something you're
driving in your car and you think of an
idea for your business or one of your
businesses where do you put it i phone
where do you put it
diary where do you put it iPod iPhone
iPhone and how do you find it afterwards
how are you triggered to look at it
again
so he goes back and reviews just AB
system how do you do it but crisis
crisis makes me go get it how do you do
it I sent an email to myself all good
more emails with more to Do's
right so I don't care what your system
is but when you have our p.m. you'll
have one place you put it for right now
you need one place to put it now the
problem is most of us have lives that if
you put everything in one place
it just becomes even more overwhelming
who knows what I'm talking about here so
the first step I'll just tell you that
is C is capture you got to capture the
motion I use like this imagine doing
this like physically capturing it
pulling out of my head and putting in
one place I don't care what your one
place has got to be one place now
ideally in that one place you'd have
some categories so you don't throw
everything on one giant list does that
make sense so you might have a category
for me hide the company so I've Robin's
research I have no Molly resort
I have metabolites of all these
different companies so I'll drop it in
that areas in example or roles for me as
a father I don't have time to
demonstrate this for you but just know
the first thing you wanna do is keep it
out of your head have it in one place
why do you want to do that keep lots of
extra mental RAM available when you have
to keep thinking about stuff that
creates inner stress if you know it's
there and you know you're gonna look at
it consistently like you do it once a
week once a day and you're going to
review it and do something with it
something with it might be forget it
I'll do it later tomorrow but you can do
something with it you'll be able to let
go how many think that's pretty much
something you try to do already most
people try to do this don't you but the
reason most people don't do it is
because making lists
after a while they stop doing tell me
why they stopped doing it who's made
lists and they're not kept a list up
your quote to-do list why don't you keep
those to-do lists up does every time you
go there there's sodium what there's how
many always got more to do if you do
make the list then you have time so it
inherently says why am i doing this
rpm is a different mindset our mindset
is we're just first capturing it we know
we're not going to do most of this but
we need to be able to later when it's
time decide which things are worth doing
and more importantly what are we really
after we're going to use these to
trigger us to say all this relates to
maybe something more important
how many follow the philosophical
difference here say I my goal is not get
things done this is not GTD this is use
the things you need to get do two
steaming the higher level of thinking of
what you really want why you want it and
become very strategic about how to get
that and many of these things may go
away or they just won't matter but you
do have to capture it because otherwise
it's in your head so I have a lot of
systems of doing it
but if you never saw me again the girls
basically and use one place to capture
that make sense what step one of our
p.m. it's a see you got to let capture
which means get it out of your head put
it one place second thing you got to
make sense of all it's crap and the way
you do that step two is you create a
plan and a plan for me has three parts
and the three parts are three questions
that I asked and three actions I take
and again you'll learn this I'm not
trying to teach this all right now just
want to plant some seeds in your mind is
this okay is this useful so when you're
going home you got most captured stuff
you just did here right now your start
to create a plan you look at all the
stuff and say okay there's more here
than I can do so what I really use read
all the stuff and start to see what all
these things relate to one thing all
these relate to another if I'm a mom and
I made my list and on the list I have
things like I got to pick up laundry or
I got to drive the kids to school I've
got to do this thing for the PTA I gotta
clean the house oh I gotta run my
business I run out of the house I gotta
do the accounting I wanna I want to
spend some time with my husband at the
end of the day soccer mom totally
stressed out but if I write all those
things down and get them out of my head
I want to write them all down I then
start to put them together go you know
this this and this all relates to my
kids this this this all relates to house
being great this business all relates to
my business and this this this is about
my personal life being rich and happy
I'm able to do something really nice I'm
able to go from this which is what your
capture list looks like
you'll start writing down you go I got
to do this enough and this and this and
you start to feel good it's out of my
head but they go look under this I go to
this and this oh I got this I got this I
got this I got this I got this I go to
this is our that's under that too that
too so step two is I look at my capture
list and I create a plan and the way I
create a plan is I start to figure out
what do I really want that's what that's
what the world is saying to me that's
what's in my head what do I want
I might start to group some things
together I might sure to say you know
let's take a look at this
you know something watch this watch this
for a second this item here clean the
house and this thing in this thing in
this thing these all relate to the house
and my outcome areas I want to magically
clean house because why it makes me feel
fully alive and then oh by the way this
this this this and this all relates to
my children oh and this this and this
relates to my business hello yeah this
is me personally anybody see what
happens suddenly any action items or
twelve or thirty will turn into four
outcomes there's something here that I
want for my home there's something I
want here for my kids there's something
I want here for my business or something
I want for me and what that does is now
I can start to go okay instead of
reading all these ayat what do I really
want for my kids
what's my outcome this week or today and
you get really really clear about what
you're after you use this to take you to
another level higher use this to trigger
our vision and filling this limit you
and once you know what you want it
that's the first question so create a
plan has three questions to it and three
actions first question is what do I
really want well how many of you would
feel different in your life just by this
language change what do I have to do
versus what do I really want to
accomplish would that change the way you
feel about your life yes or no
how does it feel would have to do see
rpm when you finally learn it has many
pieces to it above all else it's a
thinking process and better thinking
creates better results it's that simple
so you don't have to ever use a piece of
paper to think this way from now and all
the stuffs happening you go
what's my outcome what am I really after
what do I want what's the specific
results like what's the target let's
let's chunk up I don't ever go in a
meeting with anyone we think of first
words in my mouth are when I sit down to
me after the hellos and them proper
connections what do you say I would say
what are the outcomes for this meeting
because how long the meeting is is based
on getting the results that were there
for it makes it much more fulfilling
life or if you can't giving that time
you know that outcomes still not done
we're going to come back and get that
outcome done how many follow what I'm
talking about here say I now when you
get clear what your outcomes are that's
the first question of creating plan
second question is why do I want it why
why is this important me why is this
something that really is a must for me I
don't have to do I want to do this why
why is this transformative what's
exciting about this to me and almost all
of you have certain key words inner
triggers for you and language shapes
your emotion you want to have a
nutritious meal or a delicious meal you
might say I need a nutritious meal but
if I said this is a delicious nutritious
meal you're more in if I said to you I
want to reduce you this person they're
really nice verses they're delicious who
knows what I'm talking about here
so when you learn when you learn rpm
you're going to learn that rpm is a
system of thinking then rpm is the power
of language because you can change a few
words in your outcome it'll totally
change where you end up what you're
going after in your life rpm is a visual
chunking system a way to take all that
stuff you saw and groove 82 things down
to four and guess what will happen to
your stress level through the floor
guess what happens your concentration
belly through the roof what are you
going to focus on that's another one rpm
is a focusing tool
it makes you focus on what's most
important because most people major in
minor things am I making sense so I you
got to know why are we doing this and I
always look at two levels why why for me
why for the team what's the big why if
I'm involving other people just me but
it's me but I usually have the big white
so I said three step one is capture step
two is create the plan there were three
questions what are they number one is
what do I really or in other words for
that is what is my or another word for
that is what is the result and I
eventually try to get into a result
because I want to make it measurable if
at all possible
can I can't get measurable a short time
I want major progress on is my outcome
right or complete something or whatever
it is my purpose or some keywords write
this down purpose I should say activity
without purpose is the drain to your
life activity without purpose is the
drain to your life the drain to your
wealth its drain to your lifestyle three
questions what's my outcome that's my
purpose what's my why third one what's
my massive action plan or another say
what do I need to what now you ask that
question to make some sense because what
to do depends on what your outcome is
otherwise what you're going to do is
going to be based on stress concern fear
people interrupting you reacting demands
and so your life is nothing but a
reaction tool of all the tools I have
this may be the most valuable one
ironically because this is the one how
it all gets executed I don't teach it
very often so third question is what's
my massive action plan what do I need to
do to achieve this and when you do that
you'll take things off your capture list
and you'll cross them off as they fit in
or you'll say I don't you need to do
that so to create a plan there's three
questions and then there's three actions
this gets a little more technical but I
think you can pick it up real easy you
take those action items and you put them
in order of importance does that make
sense
but the way I do that more quickly is I
go put a little star next to the ones
that are the 20% that's going to get me
80% of the result because I know I'm not
going to do all these action items
I don't even if I intend to I'm going to
interrupt
20 million times so I want to know
what's the 20% of this list I've got an
outcome I got a purpose and I was a
little block the center of the target is
the outcome I see the purpose with all
the juicy words why I'm doing this I got
this list of seven eight nine ten twelve
things action items are all related to
kids that can outcome I'm not going to
give all those today which are the 20%
that make the biggest difference I star
those and guess what else I do I figure
out what's the 20% what's the what I
call it one of the must items my mus are
the 20% they're going to make eighty
percent the difference that way every
day I can still succeed that's why I
still do my list and most people don't
so I don't do lists I come up with
outcomes and purposes and I got lists
within them and are highly prioritized
with what matters and later on if I want
to come back any more great so three
questions two reactions that actions are
start of the things that armed us to
establish the real time the real time as
I go minimum to maximum on each of those
items about how long is this really
going to take why is that important
because most of you overwhelm yourself
and say this will be I just had a
meeting with my team the other day and I
say how long is this going to take and
somebody said that'll probably take us
ten weeks I said okay let's sit down and
do it let's sit down to lay out where
the ten weeks is going to come from and
we're all done it was about seven hours
with the work because we all
overestimate when it's in our let in our
ad you sit down we're going to each item
and you look at the 20% and you mark
okay 20 to 25 minutes 30 to 40 minutes
by the way at the end of the day would I
look at what are my start items
what's the minimum time necessary to get
that result that's what I go do same
thing with my week so three questions I
create a visual block with the separates
from everything else below and I'll spin
space and I'll create another block when
you learn rpm you'll see that visually I
don't think I want to throw up for you
right now but basically in the center of
my page I see the target of what I'm
after I write my result to the right I
write my juice purpose to left I put my
action list put in order of importance
boom asterisk
boom minimum US time I'm ready rock and
roll is the third one leverage leverage
is critical you know I get so much done
because I don't just get it done I know
the outcome I know the purpose and I
look for leverage leverage is different
than delegation
what's problem a delegation delegation
is you of all that needs to be done so
you give it to someone else and you tell
what needs to be done and when they
don't do it you're pissed off leverage
says I can move the biggest Boulder in
the world with a little bit of effort if
I get something I can do it with I'm
still part of it
so leverage is if I'm going to leverage
something here with Tom I'm going to
make sure Tom understands the what the
outcome I want to share time understands
the the purpose the why and the action
but I might say to tell them if you get
this done without this action or better
action go for a baby and I want to talk
to you on this date and we got a promise
and we're going to check in before it's
needed so there's no surprises if you
have been problems time come back to me
because we're partners on this that I
call leverage different than delegation
who sees the difference here say I so
three questions what creates the plan
three questions with a block three
actions where's my mus what's my minimum
us times where's my leverage and you
know what I do when I have no time there
is time I just got to leverage it now
saying I had known the leverage you two
you know Shane over here right I got
stuff he wants to do can't leverage it
but Shane's answer was hire somebody
many thinks about what it's going to
take and goes 125,000 dollars can't do
that now he's getting caught up in one
way to get the outcome leverage Yost was
listening goes what if I got somebody
who 20% of this stuff I got I could
spend 20 grand to get that much freedom
I could pay for it times 10 hmm and if
I'm really productive my productivity
should enhance the world not only my
clients and customers but it should
provide jobs for other people and if
there's anything you hate to do it's
because you're either ineffective at it
or you don't think it's very important
but it is urgent so you hire somebody
for those things and ideally somebody
who loves that job you're never going to
grow when your time is eaten up for
activities that aren't that important
activity without high levels of purpose
is the drain of your fortune do it now
if you can't get it all now to a part of
it now leverage is power
leverages ultimate power
you
