He threw away a decade
craft your system for success
I have a friend from university who I've always admired.
He’s a smart chap. He’s easy-going, charismatic and makes friends easily.
I love his ideas, and he’s a captivating speaker.
When we met, he always talked about writing a book.
But in the ten years since he started talking about this project, he hasn’t written more than three chapters.
Last time we spoke, he was complaining about his job, which is exhausting work that's ageing him fast.
He's still talking about the book and the other projects he plans to start.
But little time spent on them, and certainly no finishing…
It kills me that he’s clearly talented and has a lot of useful ideas to share. It’s tough to watch.
I know he could have found the time with a clear commitment and plan.
Even the most disorganised people can turn things around with a plan they stick to.
A decade disappears faster than you think when there’s an absence of this commitment.
You wake up one day and realise you've spent ten years holding off what you knew was important but not as urgent as replying to your boss’s emails.
That’s ten years of dreams deferred because you never built a system to honour them.
For people who achieve things they are proud of, they must have a commitment, and it must be backed by a plan.
This plan is a repeatable habit. It’s a system.
It’s clarity on what happens each day until the task is done.
Without this, you're just another person with great ideas and nothing to show for them.
If you want help crafting a simple system for getting what you want, no matter what it is, this is your moment to grab my course: The One System Method.
It’s available for three more days before it closes for many months.
$77 today for a special Q4 Autumn sale, but usually $197.
You have less than three months left in this year.
You can either drift through them like the last ten years, or you can commit to ONE thing and build the system that makes it inevitable.
What do you want? Let’s craft a system together to make it happen:
