hey this is Leo for actualised org and in this episode I'm going to give you a simple three-step formula for how to be ruthlessly effective at anything this formula that I'm about to describe will work for anything so whether you want to be ruthlessly effective at dating in business in school music art sports meditation relationships sexuality it doesn't matter it'll work for anything here's the key is that you're going to basically find one tactic that works extremely well and then you're going to exploit it and that's the gist what we're talking about here now let me give you the three-step formula and I'll summarize it and I'll go into some details and I'll give you examples of how to apply it so the first step is select your domain select your domain this means that you're going to find and set an intention a deliberate specific clear intention for what it is you want to be ruthlessly effective at so it doesn't matter like I said what it is it can be anything now just as an example in this episode I'm going to use becoming a farmer just a throw away example something silly that we can use that will help us illustrate this formula so let's say you wanted to be the best most effective corn farmer okay so if you want that then make the decision that that's what you want and be specific about it what do you want exactly why do you want it right set that intention that's step number one so the farmer would say okay I'm gonna be a ruthlessly effective corn farmer and I'm really serious about it I'm not kidding this is my mission this is what I set out to do for myself for whatever reason it's important to me and that's all that matters that's step number one step number two is the one that does a lot of the heavy lifting in this formula so listen close you're going to notice one exceptionally effective high yield technique a technique that generates a disproportionate amount of tangible results it's kind of a mouthful so let's unpack that it's real simple you just need to find one technique that's what we would call a high impact or high leverage technique that means it generates some tangible results and you can see that is generated some tangible results that means it's kind of a proven technique for you you've proved it to yourself so if you're this corn farmer there's a lot of different ways that you might go about trying to grow corn effectively maybe what you need to do is you need to buy some new land and that might be one technique or maybe another thing you could try is you could try buying a new type of corn seed maybe there's a more effective strain of corn that you could be growing something that grows faster and bigger so that could be another technique you could try another thing you could try is maybe changing the fertilizer or fertilizing your corn more often that might be a third thing you could try a fourth thing you could try is maybe watering your plants on a different schedule or putting in a new sprinkler system to water your crops right so those are just some ideas random ideas now what you need to do is you just need to find one really high yield technique so let's say you're this farmer and you're doing your farm stuff and then you know over the course of some several months you're as you're taking or tinkering around on your farm with your corn you discover that hey what really makes a big difference is when I add the right fertilizer often let's say if I add the right fertilizer every day to my crop then that's the thing that seems to produce a tangible result I can see the chrome the the corn actually growing faster when that happens okay so I found it I found my high yield technique that's step number two and the key there is to actual consciously deliberately identify it right out of all the different techniques that you know which one is the high-yield one select it and then the third step is set up a daily habit to use this technique every single day with that exception and make a hundred percent commitment to be using this technique no matter what that's step number three and that's it and if you do that if you follow through on all those three steps I guarantee you will be very very effective in any field of life that you want to be effective at now the real secret to this formula is step number two it's finding that high yield technique now I hear you what you might be saying use my system like well leo but how the hell do I find one of these high yield techniques this seems like it's something hard to do how do I invent such a technique and here's the beauty of this is that you don't have to invent the technique the technique comes about naturally it's a spontaneous discovery that comes after you've really followed through on step number one remember step number one is setting that intention and being very clear about what it is you want to be effective at and setting a commitment to becoming effective if you do that and you keep that at the forefront of your mind for a period of time you not not just for a day or for a week but for weeks and months if you do that eventually what will happen in whatever field you're involved in you know if you're involved in art or music or sports or education or business I mean you're doing that stuff on a regular basis you're involved in that field so what'll happen is that various techniques will come by you rather spontaneously just kind of through blind luck or trial and error right if you're in school and you're trying to find an effective technique in school I mean you're different systems of taking notes you're doing different things you're looking at what your friends are doing and how they are studying so you've got different ideas kind of coming through your mind now all you have to do you don't have to invent some brilliant genius technique that would be hard all you got to do is you just gotta keep your mind vigilant enough so that when a technique does come your way and you see that oh this actually produces a real tangible result and it produces quite a bit of result for little work recognize it this is where people screw up is that they don't recognize it actually consciously recognize it oh this technique is a special technique and then immediately write it down when you find this technique and then plan out your habit your daily habit how can you apply this technique every single day even in just a small way maybe it's just five or ten minutes or maybe it's thirty minutes or 60 minutes usually it doesn't need to be a lot of time or a lot of effort because the secret here is just that the multiplicative effect you know the exponential growth will happen over the months and years that you apply this technique and once you've planned out your habit you've decided exactly when in your day you're going to do it and how it's going to happen then you just make a hundred percent commitment no exceptions no excuses that you're going to be using this technique because you can see the huge yield that it will pay off for you in the future if you just carry this through right so that's pretty much it now how did I discover this formula the way I discovered this formula is actually just recently I discovered it because for the last two years I've been working on enlightenment and if you know me I'm pretty excited about lightning I've been trying various techniques meditation techniques and self inquiry techniques I've been reading lots of books and going to lots of workshops and asking people lots of questions to find the best of the best right and just recently I read in a book I just read this one technique that seemed to work really well for me I sat down I tried it my mind just locked in on exactly what I needed it to lock in on and even though I didn't have any huge epiphany or enlightenment experience from that one technique I could see that it was a high yield technique just simply by sitting there for 60 minutes and using it right you got an intuitive sense for it and this will happen to you in your field whatever field that you're interested in you'll you'll try these different techniques out and then you'll see that oh this one seems to really have worked really well maybe just once maybe twice that's your key yeah you got to lock in on that and don't let that go most people what happens is that actually they come across many high yield techniques but they're just not really conscious and they don't know how to follow through with this three-step formula they don't really take it very seriously and so high yield techniques come by you maybe once every couple of months you see one but then you just kind of ignore it you slack off and nothing really happens so if you keep these steps in mind then it'll go differently for you you got to see the exponential effect that following through on this can have for improving the quality of your life that's what really gets you to buy in and take it seriously now let me give you some examples of how you might apply this like not silly examples like with the farmer but something that's useful for you and addresses your common day problems so let's say for example that one issue that you're struggling with is you're lacking a good sense of humor and you want to be more charming more humorous maybe you want to attract the opposite sex better okay cool but you're not really sure how to do that so how would you apply this formula well first of all set the intention set the intention that I'm going to be a really humorous person I'm going to master this that's step number one then as you do that and you're just going about your life what will eventually happen is that you will run across through fluke luck a high yield technique now you might say well Leo I don't know any high yield techniques for how to be humorous right right now you might not know it but tomorrow or in a week or in a month you might know it and when you do I don't want to miss it so actually what I'll do for you is I'll give you one right now I actually have of episode that I shot called how to be funny it's a like an hour long episode that goes into a lot of depth explaining a specific technique it's a very simple visualization technique that will only take you ten or fifteen minutes to do every single day and I guarantee that if you use that technique right there then over the period of six to twelve months you will double triple or even increase by greater amounts of your sense of humor so you could just go and use that watch that episode and use it so that would give you your step number two and then step number three would simply be to actually set the the plan for the habit into motion and make a hundred percent commitment to use this visualization technique every single day for the next six months or twelve months or whatever period you're working with there right so that's how you can apply this to the situation of becoming more humorous what about business how could you apply this to business well step number one is what's your intention pick exactly how you want to be ruthlessly effective in your business so let's say you decide that you want to be really effective at marketing in your business okay good so step number one is done step number two is what's a high-yield marketing technique that really generates some tangible results for you now if you're running a business and you're doing marketing on a regular basis then chances are you're running across all sorts of different marketing techniques all you got to do is just pick one that's high-yield that might take you a little while or maybe you already know one already just as a random example maybe you discover that your let's say your your newsletter if you really work on your newsletter and you use the right structure on your newsletter that that generates more sales and attracts more customers for you okay great so let's say you think that that's your tie yield technique so that satisfies step number two and then step number three of the formula is just to make a daily habit to use that technique now every single day 100% commitment with no excuses so that might mean that every morning first thing when you get to work as you sit down you spend 60 minutes writing a new newsletter page copy and then you add that to your autoresponder or whatever so that it's in the hopper it's all automated and you just do that every single day for the next six months and then watch what happens see this high yield technique it doesn't necessarily need to give you everything in one Big Bang right so it's not like you're going to find a technique that will just like make you super humorous or will increase your marketing by 50 percent or something like that usually you don't find things like that what you find and what I mean by high yield technique is that it's relatively high yield that means actually in absolute terms they might only give you like let's say a point zero one percent increase in your marketing or 0.5 percent increase in your humor but even a point zero one percent increase in your marketing if you multiply that by a hundred days two hundred days three hundred days in the year then that adds up to a lot that adds up to 50% or 100% you do the math it adds up quickly over time but see most people they're always looking for like they're really really low-hanging fruit they're looking for a technique that will just solve their problem really quickly and those techniques generally don't exist and if they exist chances are you already know about them in you already use them and exhausted them right and now the only thing that exists is these high-yield techniques which give you incremental increases but are still extremely powerful when multiplied by 200 days 400 days and so forth how about relationships let's say you want to be effective in your relationships step number one make the intention what do you want I want a more loving relationship with my partner okay great step number two find a high-yield technique now initially you might say well Leo there are no high-yield techniques for being more loving with my partner but actually that's not true at all go read some books go watch some videos or whatever and you will discover many effective high yield relationship techniques I'll give you one as an example you can use this or you can find a different one here's one every day you're going to find three things that you appreciate about your partner and then you're gonna communicate them to your partner that's it very simple so let's say that that's step number two you've got that figured out and now step number three is to use that set a plan for how you're going to make a habit of it every single day and make 100% commitment with no excuses and no exceptions so you got to actually plan out like win in the day am I going to say do it am I going to call uh am I going to call my partner during my lunch break at work or maybe in the afternoon or in the evening how am I actually going to do this what am I going to say what are my reservations for expressing my appreciation maybe I need to improve my communication skills right you got to plan some of that stuff out and then commit to it and do it and you're going to see big results if you just multiply that out by three or six or twelve months how about school you want to be super effective at school this is really easy firstly step number one set that intention step number two find a high-yield technique and you know with school high-yield techniques are usually very simple this isn't rocket science and in fact what I would suggest not just in school but in all these different areas most your high yield techniques are very simple they're deceptively simple they're so simple that oftentimes we just dismiss them and overlook them for example here's a simple one for school read your textbook every day and take notes on what you've read dead simple but I can guarantee you that if you spend the next year every single day reading your textbook and taking notes on what you've read you're going to become a rockstar student within one to two to three years if you just keep doing that and doing that and doing that and doing that for every one of your subjects right or if you don't like that one find a different one maybe you find out a new note-taking method in class that really works well for you and generates some high yield results great so take that and do it every day or maybe you find a mnemonic technique some little technique for how to memorize facts better and apply that every single day to the different facts that you're learning in school and see where that takes you right being effective as school is really pretty simple it's just that you just got to actually follow through on what I'm telling you here and step number three again is plan out your habit and then make a hunter set commitment no excuses to do it every single day for a period of like 6 or 12 months what about confidence let's say you want to get good with confidence step number one set that intention step number two find a high-yield technique what might that be there's many of them but let's say you find a technique such as holding strong eye contact with people deliberately so maybe you read that in a book or you hear it from someone like me or somebody else while you're friends and then you try it out you notice like hey you know when I actually hold eye contact with the way Triss that makes a difference that makes me feel more confident and when I hold eye contact with my teacher that makes me feel more confident my hold eye contact with my with my mom or my dad that makes me feel more confident you notice that and then now that tells you okay this is technique is actually producing some results now what you do is you go to step number three and you make a commitment every single day to practice this and you find a way you know how are you gonna practice it maybe you practice it on store clerks or you practice it with waitresses or you practice it with people at your workplace or at school and then you just do that every single day and you're going to watch your confidence slowly build up build up build up incremental e but significantly if you do it for like three six twelve months so I could go on with examples but I think you get the idea right this is how it works what's the reason that this works the reason this formula works is a principle called deliberate practice deliberate practice is a concept that's part of the mastery concept it's a really important concept actually for becoming a master at any field in life anyone who's at a world-class level whether it's an athlete a teacher a business person a world leader a martial artist or a painter or sculptor these people have become world-class because they've done deliberate practice and I'm not going to go into too much detail here but just basically in a nutshell what deliberate practice is is it means that you actually sit down and you spend time doing the thing you want to get good at correctly so a best example of this is when you're learning music like a musical instrument you sit down you have a new song you're not sure how to play it and you start playing it and the first five notes you get right but then the sixth note you screw up so what you do is you have to stop yourself don't keep playing stop yourself go back to the beginning and play it through until you can get it right so let's say on the second time you play through and you get eight notes deep and then ix note you screw up you stop you go back to the beginning and then you start again and you just keep doing that over and over and over again and every time you do it you're going to get a little bit better and a little bit further until you're to the point where you can play the you know hundreds of notes of the song with no mistakes and you just do this over and over again until you master the song then you move on to the next song and the next song in the next song and you can use that process as simple as that is to become a world-class a musician artist professional of any kind so that's why this works so this formula gets you to start doing this kind of practice right very deliberately um that's it that's pretty much how it works I want to stress though for you that I hope that you can grasp the significance of what you're told here think about what this can do for your life if you apply this formula in all the areas in your life where you want to be effective and especially in your self-actualization efforts you know speaking of high-yield techniques I go to a lot of lengths to reveal to you high-yield techniques that I discover for personal development I really reveal techniques for how to become more humorous how to be better in your relationships how to accept yourself more how to develop more confidence how to meditate better and so forth I've really revealed many of these techniques throughout the various episodes that I released so man uh if you feel like you're at a lack for high-yield techniques uh be careful there because you've been given a lot of them just make sure that you're conscious of what I'm telling you here and you're actually recognizing the significance of these techniques when they come across to you because these techniques oftentimes are very innocent looking they look so simple on the surface that you would never think that I could use this technique to earn ten million dollars or I could use this technique to become enlightened or I could use this technique to create an amazing marriage but the reality is is that you know success often comes from very simple sources done over and over again consistently with deliberate intention and 100% commitment that's really the secret of success if you understand the significance of what I'm telling you here you can start to see ah just how big of an impact this could have on the quality of your life over the next 5 10 or 20 years it could really mean the difference between a crappy life or a mediocre average life and an absolutely extraordinary life that you completely love that other people couldn't even dream of that's what this formula can do for you very powerful formula before I go I want to give you one final warning in applying this formula which is that the world is hell-bent on distracting you and knocking you off your path we live in a very distraction oriented culture where everyone is vying for your attention and what's going to happen is that you're going to lack focus and then you're going to fail at applying this formula if you let yourself get distracted right notice that focus is required at every step in this formula so step one to keep your intention not only you have to set your attention we have to keep your intention you don't just set your intention for once and then it's all good from that know every single day you have to be setting and recommitting to your intention I want to get good I want to get really effective at my marketing or at my relationship or at mices you know school work whatever so that requires focus ah step number two requires focus you need to be focused on the fact that hey high-yield techniques are out there and if I just stay vigilant if I stay focused and vigilant then I will notice them as they come across my field of awareness over time so that requires focus and step number three requires the most focus which is to actually sit down create a habit and then follow through on that habit every single day without fail that requires tons of focus because you're going to get distracted by video games and Netflix marathons and good food and good relationships and fun with your friends and stuff going on at work and a crisis in your family and some some health concern all this stuff will try to distract you your job is to maintain your focus stay grounded keep your original intention in your mind every single day
