If one of your goals this year is to take your health to a completely new level…

Here are the 8 little-known yet most important things to get right.

Some context.

These 8 have completely changed my level of health and the health of my family, wife, son, friends & 100s clients.

I went from struggling with:

- ADHD
- Cervical Instability (Car Accident)
- Concussion and Severe TBI (Car accident)
- Chronic Fatigue
- Sleep Apnea
- IBS
- Terrible Posture
- Mouth Breathing & allergies
- PTSD
- Insomnia
- Chronic Anxiety

To:

- Extreme Attention Control & Ability to Focus (Enough to serve multiple 7 & 8 figure business owners by optimizing their personal performance and their business systems)
- Creativity, Motivation & Cognitive Function are at an all-time high)
- Write an average of 3000 words a day (Books, client work, content, funnels, etc)
- All-day energy
- Elite emotional stability and stress resilience.
- Perfect sleep
- Semi-euphoric level of mental well-being
- Play Spiderman with my son (My 3 year old son hits surprisingly hard)

So here are 8 of the most important things to get right.

1. Achieving any goal is a game of attention management.

Directing your attention is the tool for sculpting any goal, whether in health, business, relationships, or behaviour.

Your level of attention control and how you direct it will determine what you struggle with:

Are you failing to execute? Do you lack motivation? Have you been following your strategy but not much progress has been made?

You can solve all problems by getting better at one of or all four horseman of production:

- Better more strategic decision-making
- Higher quality learning
- Better ex*****on
- Better communication

Convert any problem into insufficient performance in one of these 4.

Then get better by deploying your attention better.

Here are 4 quick ways to enhance your attention:

a) Audit your attention usage and contrast it with your goals. Cut out the noise or be ready to let your goals die.

b) Identify the constraints in your progress. Motivation? Strategy? Be specific.

c) Deploy your attention more strategically based on what you discovered.

d) Repeat

2. Diligence in nourishment and recovery gives birth to discipline, drive & consistency

Long-term health improvement or weight loss is about being recovered, not about pushing yourself harder.

Sleep, Nutrition & Good Decision-making > Exercise

3. Nutrition is a game of accurate information, not discipline.

#1 Reason for poor nutrition habits:

What you think is healthy isn't, what you think is unhealthy isn't.

If you've been acting on certain information without results, you have the wrong information

Optimize for:

- Micronutrient intake
- Generous protein, fat, carbs, salt

Avoid/minimize:

- Anti-nutrient intake (Plant defense chemicals)
- Chemicals (Man-made)
- Vegetable oils

4. The real reason to move and exercise.

Once you have sleep and nutrition down, this will light the fire of energy.

Exercise is the gasoline

Exercise will change your brain for more discipline, motivation, emotional stability and emotional control, creativity & resilience.

Top 5 considerations for effective exercise:

a). Biomechanics and posture are the foundation for heavy resistance training without injury. (And just avoiding any and all injuries or pain, and even fixing it)

b). Focus on compound movements for the fastest results: Rows, Overhead Presses, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Weighted Pull-ups & Dips.

c) Walk 10 -15k steps a day

d) Do endurance training with your mouth shut, nasal breathing and tongue posture is one of the most underrated health improvements.

5. Sleep is the magic pill you are looking for.

Most advice for improving sleep doesn't address the real issue.

Top 5 causes of poor sleep from working with 100s of clients:

a) An overactive stress response will inhibit the chemistry that onsets sleep.

b) Airway problems due to poor tongue posture, allergic reactions due to nutritional errors and environmental chemicals (Sleep Quality)

c) Inflammation from nutritional errors in judgment. When your body is damaged, your body's ability to optimize sleep quality is inhibited.

d) Micronutrient deficiencies and insufficiencies. Better micronutrient status leads to higher sleep quality. Low micronutrient intake = inability to thrive biochemically.

e) Too little sleep because of poor attention management in the evenings.

6. Supplements require discernment.

Many herbs and supplements will come with unexpected side effects.

Just like with medications most side-effects are underreported and not well known because self-awareness and study design is the bottleneck.

Any experiment you run needs to be consistently measured against your baseline

Self-awareness is your secret weapon in optimizing your biology.

7. Quality reflection & feedback are what create progress.

Anders Ericsson, one of the greatest scientists on human performance identified a key distinction:

Years of experience doing something does not lead to expertise.

Frequency & Quality of Feedback > Experience

If you don't measure the quality of your approach based on the results you've been getting you are bound to strive for consistency with ineffective strategies.

Act -> Outcome -> Analyse -> Course Correct

8. Emotional regulation is the cause of good or bad problem-solving

Your emotions are regulated by the informational context you exist in.

If you find yourself in an unresourceful state your information consumption or lack of it is to blame.

Guard your mind.

Nourish it with an intentional consumption plan.

Physical exercise is possibly the single most powerful cognitive enhancer.

Your cognitive function will govern your:

-focus
- creativity
- decision-making
- problem solving
- mental health

Here are 5 types of exercise that bring unique benefits to your brain function.

1. Resistance training

Intensity is determined by load. (Optimize biomechanics & posture to avoid injury.)

Unique benefits:

- Impacts confidence, stress resilience and optimism more than endurance training.

2. Endurance Training

Intensity is determined by heart rate.

Unique benefits ->

- Greater processing speed, endurance and memory

3. Coordination Training

Intensity is determined by the mental load of the exercise.

Unique benefits ->

- Substantial improvement to working memory, problem-solving and attention control.

4. Biomechanics & Posture Optimization

Goal: Raise capacity for intensity in all movement without injury.

Improve everything from your tongue, head posture, glutes, core and feet.

Unique benefits ->

- Better breathing = better sleep, get stronger and never get injured.

5. Explosive Training (Advanced)

Want to stay young forever?

Stay explosive, fast & produce force rapidly.

Your biomechanics will be critical for doing this without risking injury.

Unique benefits ->

Faster reflexes = Higher processing speed, Longevity & Euphoria

11/03/2024

The current economy rewards one single skill more than anything else.

Your capacity to focus deeply on cognitively demanding tasks for long periods of time while ignoring irrelevant information.

Here is why it matters and 5 ways to become a world-class attention athlete: 🧵

So why is your degree of attention control so critical in business?

Because the leverage and profitability of the task often coincide with how complex and difficult it is to do.

This how my client Matt, added $1.2 million in revenue in just 3 hours of working together.

1. We got clear on his goals
2. We identified which systems were the constraint on his income
3. We identified what within those systems was holding back the production of those systems
4. We deployed interventions that addressed those specific constraints

3 hours = $1.2 million in revenue.

This is only possible when we use our attention top-down rather than bottom up. (More on this below)

If tasks like the ones below were easy, they wouldn’t be valuable, because everyone would do them:

- Writing a great book
- Building a high-converting funnel
- Creating or enhancing business systems.
-Writing copy that sells or creating good content (Meaning being a better communicator and thinker than the competition)
- The ability to identify constraints and bottlenecks on progress in life and business.
- Formulating an intentional learning plan rather than having social media algorithms dictate your consumption.
- The ability to prioritise based on constraints or identify constraints and bottlenecks on progress in life and business.
- Having consistent output and ex*****on
- Not getting distracted on social media or getting stuck consuming irrelevant content…

To do any of the above well, requires strong top-down attention control.

This type of attention is regulated by our pre-frontal cortex rather than by our lower emotional parts of the brain.

So here are 5 ways to become a world-class attention athlete:

1. Hebb's Law: Respect & Master Neuroplasticity

''Neurons that fire together wire together.''

Our brain remains plastic until the day we die.

Just how plastic our brain is will be regulated by the level of our brain health.

Your journey to mastering attention control starts with the distinction between using your brain Top-down Vs Bottom-up.

Top-down attention is intentional, effortful and goal directed.

The more we use this type of attention, the more top-down dominant we become.

Top-down dominance translates to: Discipline, high motivation towards consciously selected goals, high self-awarness, great impulse control, the ability to formulate plans, problem-solve and execute plans. High interest and selectivity in what you find interesting.

Bottom-up attention is automatic and bottom up dominance leads to:

Impulsive unconscious desires and aversion, vulnerability to addiction, distractions, low self-awareness, poor decisions, inability and lack of interest in acting congruently with conscious goals.

99% of people are unknowingly making themselves bottom-up dominant.

Here is how to begin reversing that trend:

1. Remove the noise to tune into the signal of your goals.

The number one reason for not accomplishing your goals is distraction.

Distraction makes us unconsciously unmotivated about our conscious goals.

Take the time to map out what your ideal future looks like and who you would have to become to make that happen.

Conscious goals impact our attention and make sacrifice, ignoring distractions and effort feel rewarding.

Get clear or at least create room for turning your attention inwards and generating a direction.

2. Audit your attention usage.

Your attention is collecting data for constructing your world view.

This world-view will regulate your emotions unconsciously.

The type of information, people and ideas you expose yourself will determine how you feel at all times.

Look at your screen time on your phone and leverage tools like rescue time to make the unconscious conscious.

3. How you use your attention is who you become

Study the discrepancy between your ideal self and current self.

The tool of self-transformation and self-change is attention.

Expect initial discomfort but know that you will soon fall in love with how relevant your thoughts are, how you feel, who you are being and what you are creating in all areas of life.

Attention control -> Excelling in business, health, relationships & mental health.

Removal of distractions will create a rich inner world that will begin to drive you towards relevant exploration, creating a new life and upgrading in everything that matters to you.

And you will wonder how you could have gotten tricked in the first place.

4. Give yourself an unfair advantage.

As your brain gets exposed to what's relevant rather than what's loud and shiny.

You will now have problems, obstacles and challenges to face.

Optimising your biology is your unfair advantage.

Here are the top 5 interventions:

1. Nutriton: Optimise for micronutrient status and unlock endless energy, motivation, focus, creativity and resilience.

2. Sleep: the 2 biggest inhibitors of great sleep are nutritional errors and airway problems. Tongue posture is key for nasal breathing, work on it everyday.

3. Walk & Move as much as you can. 5-10 minutes of walking makes a big difference.

The more steps the better your brain will work.

4. Exercise with 4 goals in mind: Strength = Confidence and emotional stability, Vo2Max = Processing Power & Endurance, Coordination = Mental flexibility, Biomechanics = Injury Proof + Serotonin Production = Feeling Powerful

5. Relax, Rest, Socialise & Turn off the stress Response

The better you get at consciously turning off your stress response the healthier and higher performing you will be.

5. Understand the game of producing and prioritise based on constraints.

Producing any outcome is a result of one of 4 behaviours, when you are not resting, fill your time with the appropriate behaviour of the 4.

Select it consciously based on your personal constraint.

Here are the 4 horseman of production:

1. Learning
2. Decison-making (Thinking)
3. Ex*****on
4. Communication

One of them is always your personal constraint.

The better you get at all of them the higher your income potential.

How to use ‘’The Four Horseman Of Production’’ to 5-30X your income over the next 6-24 months. (Depending on the opportunities in front of you)

Why 5-30x?

Because the top 1% performers in any industry earn on average 5x-30x the average income of that industry.

The same principles apply in going from the top 1% to 0.1%, 0.001% and so on.

This is not accomplished by just working harder or putting in more reps, it happens by becoming better at 4 specific production skills.

This is also how my clients are able to dramatically increase their income in less than 90 days of starting our work together:

“I’ve added $1.2M YRR to my business after only working together for 23 days, so I immediately re-signed for a 12-month commitment, and we went on to have a record-breaking year. Competitors have been texting me to try and figure out what changed.

My focus, ability to think, make good decisions, identify constraints, and optimize the processes inside of my business all reached a new level. My sleep quality, motivation, energy & overall wellbeing also improved. ” - Matt, Trucking Company CEO

“We’ve been getting new customers every day. 8 of them so far with $240k in revenue. I’m feeling less anxious, more focused & have more energy. Priorities are clearer, I am addressing the real constraints of my business, and my performance as the CEO is at an all-time high.” - Grant, Design Firm Co-Owner

“My 5-year-long chronic insomnia disappeared in less than 60 days, and energy levels, memory, and focus are way up. The productivity improvement has been dramatic both in business and in my work. I’ve been hovering around 96% for 9 months, my new baseline is 140% but in 30% less time. My business revenue multiplied by 3x and has now surpassed the income from my job.” - Alex, Lawyer

Before we break down the big 4, let me show you why they matter so much and give you some examples.

The economy rewards the synthesis of these 4 skills into one meta-ability.

And the financial rewards for doing this well are at a rate exponentially higher than anything else. ⁣⁣

If certain tasks pay 15/hr, these are the tasks that pay $2000/hr, $10 000/hr, or even $50 000/hr and beyond.

So what is this meta-skill that makes the above possible?

It’s your capacity to focus deeply on cognitively demanding, high-leverage tasks for long periods of time, consistently.

This is because the leverage and profitability of the task often coincide with how complex and difficult it is to do.

And the more people can pull it off, the less valuable the skill and or activity becomes.

If tasks like the ones below were easy, they wouldn’t be valuable, because everyone would do them exceptionally well.

- Building out or enhancing systems and processes in your business
Innovation in marketing, product, sales or operational efficiency.

- Being a better more emotionally intelligent communicator in business or life

- Driving up your personal productivity or driving up the productivity of your employee to attain the minimum ratio of labor efficency of 2:1. (Production/salary)

- Writing a great book, building an audience or standard operating procedures.

- Building a funnel, learning new relevant technology

- Speed of implementation.

- Writing copy that sells or creating good content (Meaning being a better communicator and thinker than the competition)

- Identify constraints and bottlenecks on progress in life and business.

- Having consistent output

- Leading and communicating with others to attain greater performance without negatively draining your leadership capital.

- Formulating an intentional learning plan rather than having social media algorithms dictate your consumption.

- Correct, constraint-based prioritization.

- Impulse & attention control to not getting distracted by vices, irrelevant information or learning things that aren’t your unique constraint.

- Strategic thinking, problem-solving & reflection. (relevant for business, trauma recovery, relationships, health & any behavioral change… or to solve complex problems)

So the ultimate question to ask, is what allows us to excel at the complex but high-leverage task above…?

It’s ‘’The Four Horseman of Production’’:

And if you study all the tasks above, they are all either one of or several of the big 4 skills used at once.

Let's dive deeper into each and use the reflection exercises to identify which one is holding you back the most:

1. Learning: Learn The Right Things… Fast.
⁣⁣
Business theorist Arie De Geus evaluated 27 large and long-lived corporations to see what made them excel…⁣⁣

His conclusion?⁣⁣

⁣⁣‘’The ability to learn faster than your competitors is the only sustainable competitive advantage’’⁣⁣

⁣⁣Information & opportunities to learn are abundant, but it will be the individuals who can discern the quality of information that come out on top. ⁣⁣

It’s no longer good enough to just consume ‘’positive or helpful’’ content.

If your learning and skill-development plan is not based on your unique constraints you will be wasting time consuming feel-good content thinking you are learning without really making progress…

⁣This capacity to learn doesn’t just come into play when you're actively consuming or selecting information, a large part of how learning governs success is how attentive you can be to the feedback your actions provide…⁣⁣

Years of experience does not govern learning, it’s how many adjustments you make in those 10 years does.

Anders Ericsson, one of, if not the most prolific researcher of peak performance discovered that frequency and accuracy of feedback received is the single biggest driver of performance.

And that repetition and years spent doing something doesn’t predict performance.

Reflection exercise:

What new information do you need to acquire to move ahead faster?

What skills are most important to get better at fast right now?

Based on your goals, what do you need to change about your consumption habits?

Where have you stagnated because of lack of feedback?

⁣⁣2. Decision-making: Identifying & Resolving Constraints

Most people think they are great decision-makers, but our ability to think and make decisions is again on an infinite continuum rather than a binary ability where you either have It or not.

The ability to make decisions and use reasoning and rationality will also vary a lot from day to day depending on biological factors like sleep quality, nutrition, hormones…

Emotional & psychological factors like current emotional state, informational context, personality & temperament. (Yes your personality and temperament will have to evolve to reach your goals.) (Maybe you are too risk-averse or too reckless, maybe you are overconfident or underconfident)

Each situation and circumstance will be optimally met by a different personality formulation.

If you remain static and stick to your ‘’natural’’ traits and abilities only, you will suffer the consequences of stubbornness and you will not be as adaptable as you needed to be.

The other factor in great decision-making is the mental models we use to make decisions.

These mental models are also learning-dependent. But can can simply consist of information we have been exposed to rather than information we have purposefully sought out. (This is why your consumption & learning systems are so critical)

The quality and informational accuracy of the information we are acting on can get infinitely better.

And even a hyper-rational individual acting on the wrong or incomplete information will make mistakes. (This is hyper-relevant in business but we also see this a lot in nutrition and health, or changing oneself, it applies everywhere.)

The better your understanding of the particular topic, and the more data points you have, the more likely you can make good decisions about how to allocate limited resources of time, money, attention, energy, manpower, capital, etc.

Decision-making gives tremendous leverage because you can spend the same amount of effort, time, money, attention, manpower, capital, or other resources but in a different direction and get 1000x the return.

A large aspect of good decision-making hinges on our system for learning and continually arriving at greater informational accuracy.

If you aren’t producing the results you want in any area of life, your informational accuracy in that specific area of life is likely lacking. (Health, business, personal life, self-change)

Reflection exercise:

Based on your decision-making history, and your current goals, what do you need to change about your approach to decision-making? Do you need to make quicker decisions? Take more risk? Less risk? Be more bold or more calculated?

Where in your life do you need to upgrade your decision-making skills the most? Where are you lacking results? This is a hint to lacking in informational accuracy.

3. Ex*****on: Ex*****on Capacity: The Gap Between Intention & Reality

The person who executes with higher quality & greater volume will win. (on the right projects)

The capacity to execute complex projects and solve complex problems is regulated by the rules and laws of cognitive function, biology, psychology & human performance.

This is why you want to abandon oversimplified solutions to this complex ability.

Anytime you say:

‘’I just need to….x, you have an ex*****on problem.

Focus
Stop procrastinating
Stop getting distracted
Get more done
Post more
Build X

The ‘’Just do it’’ motto is for amateurs.

You need to commit to a process and a system for continually improving your capacity for ex*****on both in terms of quality and volume.

And if you’ve been dealing with some of the most common ex*****on-related problems like:

Procrastination
Inconsistency
Difficulty focusing
Plummeted Motivation
Burnout
Overwhelm
Getting distracted
Over-consuming content
Or simply not being able to summon the cognitive power to make progress on the key projects that matter...

All of the above problems, which over 95% of people I speak with struggle with more than 5 of them at one time… have the same cause…

A dysfunctional Dopaminergic System.

The dopamine system is made up of two subsystems.

1. The Ventrmodial Dopamine System. This is responsible for motivation, energy, desire, subconscious interest in improving the future, making progress, and general goal-oriented behavior.
If this does not sound like you, this system has likely been down-regulated or hi-jacked away from your vision either by vices, distractions, serotonin depletion, or being biologically suboptimal (Hormones, sleep, airways, digestive health).

2. The Lateral Dopamine System. This is responsible for goal-directed attention control, cognitive function, impulse control, emotional regulation, formulation of plans, sequencing out steps & strategic thinking.

If you are generally motivated and energetic (Ventromedial dopamine system) but are messing up your performance by either getting distracted, struggling with clarity, or structure, having brain fog, and having a difficult time identifying, naming, and clarifying problems as well as deploying the correct strategy and then following through and controlling your attention appropriately…

The lateral dopamine system is likely your issue.

The lateral dopamine system is where most of your executive functions are situated and play a key role in every advanced cognitive function from decision-making, prioritization, self-awareness, and self-change to emotional intelligence.

Reflection exercise:

Which dopamine system is your current weakness?

4. Communication: The Weapon of Mass Influence

Communication is the ultimate weapon in a hyper-connected world.
And like any ability, it's not binary, meaning that one is either a good or bad communicator.

It's about how good you are. And one can always get infinity better…
Communication can be broken down into 4 types of situations/contexts/relationships:

1. Communication with prospects. this is your marketing & sales communication. (Copywriting)

2. Communication with clients

3. Communication in leadership situations with your Team/Partners/Employees

4. Communication in your personal life.

This can be further divided into intimate relationships, and communication with mentors, peers, friends, children, infants, etc…

All of these include verbal & non-verbal communication, it's both how you say it, and what you choose to say, and even what you feel (since that always is communicated whether you want it or not)(This phenomenon is called emotional contagion).

All of this is affected by your emotional & social intelligence, as well as body language, psychology, emotions, tonality & much more.
How well you communicate and your ability to be articulate and well-spoken will also be affected by:

Biological factors like cognitive function, verbal fluency, memory, and working memory

Psychological & emotional factors like emotional states, emotional intelligence skills, beliefs about people, previous traumas, how you move your body/postures you have habitually adapted and even by your facial movements & childhood,

And by your social cognition in charge of emotional recognition or lack of it & sociopolitical facilitation skills & ability to swap between the 6 leadership styles in a dynamic way that is optimal for the specific circumstance & situation…

And even by your own levels of self-awareness (which the cognitive sciences can now measure by the size and interconnects of the ‘’Insula’’ which regulates the type of cognition that allows us to be self-aware.) (the right, well-formulated 360 feedback tests can also provide unique insights here., keep in mind that most of these tests aren’t well formulated.)

Reflection exercise:

What area of your life do you need to upgrade your communication in? And based on the results you are getting in that area, what do you think you need to do a better job at?

Hope you found this helpful and worthwhile topic to reflect, learn and think about.

If you want to take things to another level here are the next steps:

The path to greater performance isn’t easy but If you would like to see the systematic step-by-step process you would have to follow to multiply your current income over the next 6-12 months.

And take your performance, health & wellbeing to new heights.
