This is a new weekly newsletter that will be focused on going “deep” on a specific framework, method or strategy for scaling past 7+ figures in your online business.
I get the question a lot…
“How should I structure my weeks & days?”
And the truth is… when you ask that question…
You should listen for principles, not specifics.
Because what works for me, might not work for you.
But… The principles for how to structure your day and week?
I wanted to share what I believe makes sense.

The core problem most people have when planning their work?
Is that they try to build their business schedule first
And then their life.
Further, the try to start at the logical / intellectual part…
“How many hours will I work…”
“What should I be doing?”
“What’s the best ROI on my time?”
Now… those questions aren’t bad questions.
But it’s likely you’re asking them too early in the process.
The most important question you start with?
“What do I want my life to feel like…”
Then…
“What do I want my life NOT to feel like…”
Then looking at your past and current…
“What would I change about how my life feels…”
In essence we want to build our weeks based on the average feeling we want on any given day.
From there, you can start to decide what needs to be in your life (or out of your life)…
And from this place it’s much easier to start building the intellectual element…
How you manage your calendar…
How you manage your health…
How you manage your family…
All of it adds up to the core desired feeling.
Now… you’re optimizing for what you want your life to be like…
Which does something magical.
Instead of building frameworks around your calendar…
Or how you spend time… it flows.
One week is different than the next.
One month is different than the next…
One season is different than the next…
This means that one season might mean more work…
Another season might have less phone calls than another…
One week may have no work and the next may have plenty of work…
The core thing is that you’re solving for the average instead of the peak…
Instead of saying…
“Once I have X, I’ll be able to Y”…
You’re able to enjoy your life now, before it passes you by.
Because… living in the “middle” makes a lot more sense…
Than living in the extremes.
The all or nothing, rarely works.
Solving for the feeling, almost always does.
