Boost Your Business with Daily Habits: Spend 30-60 Minutes Every Day

30 to 60 minutes every single day on your business. Hey everyone, welcome to another Evan's Book Update video. I like to talk a lot about on the channel on how you need to spend 30 to 60 minutes at least every single day on your business because it's easy for life to get in the way. It's easy for us to come up with with real reasons, not just excuses, but real reasons as to why we can't do something. Maybe you have another job, a full-time job that you're worried about. Maybe your family is sick or something happened. Life often seems to get in the way. It's easy to mail it in. It's easy to say, "I'm too tired." It's easy to just not want to get up and go to work and do something, but that's what defines you. The struggle defines you. If it was so easy to do it, if you had unlimited time, of course you would spend an enough time on your business. It's that your time is limited. You don't have the time to go all in on it, and you need to make sure that you don't let that dream die. Because too many people, that's what they do, they let their dream die. You have this vision for what you want to do, but because life keeps getting in the way, it's never the right time, and as a result, you never end up taking action. And so no matter what's happening in your life at the moment, no matter what negative things are going on, no matter what's consuming your time, you need to make sure that you're spending at least 30 to 60 minutes every single day to take that dream that you have and move it forward. 30 to 60 minutes. You can find the time to do it. And so today is a perfect example of a day where it's easy to mail it in. I'm sick, first of all. I'm starting to get better. I appreciate all of the awesome comments that you guys left on last week's video about me getting better. Nina finally made me go to a walk-in clinic and get some medication. I am now taking these giant pills. You should see these pills. This is what they— this is the package. That, like, those are huge. You gotta take 2 of those every day. Anyway, starting to feel better. Appreciate all the comments. But I've got a little bit low energy, lower than usual. I've got Hayden home because it's the week before Christmas when this is being filmed. I guess it's gonna go out on Boxing Day, so Merry Christmas everybody. But Hayden's over, his cousin is over sleeping over here too for the week, and so we've got like fake teeth everywhere and— what's this? Magic trick boxes and a whole bunch of stuff and just a lot of a lot of energy and time having to work with the kids, make sure they're entertained, and not just, not just sitting them down in front of a computer and letting them watch stuff all day, right? Actually trying to do stuff with them. On top of that, I get a call from my mom to say my dad's sick and he needs to go to the clinic. And so I just came back from spending 2.5 hours with him at the clinic. Turns out it just looks like a case of really bad food poisoning, but they still gave him some antibiotics and Anyway, at this point, I just wanna lie down and relax, but I haven't done any work on my book yet, and today is my book day, and I need to get work done, and there's some good progress that needs to get done. I've gotta edit some of the final chapters. We're getting really close, and so I'm gonna be spending time tonight after Hayden and his cousin go to bed, probably 60 to 90 minutes, I'm thinking, of work, of editing. We'll see how it goes. But it's just one of those days where it's easy to mail it in. It's easy to say, I've got so much happening, I'm exhausted, You know, I'm sick, I'm looking after my parents, I'm looking after my kid, there's just no time left for me. And I find the time because that's going to happen in your life and you need to find the time, you need to carve it out, you got to make it important so that every single day something is happening to move your dream and make it closer to a reality. So there's a few questions I want to get to from you guys and we'll see how it goes. So the first one came in, I can't pronounce the name, I apologize, wrote in to say, it seems funny for me that I learned English from your videos, day by day I improve my skills and I feel like I get better. 'With all these stuff I watch on your YouTube channel, thanks for what you're doing. Be healthy as hell and never get sick. With best regards from Russia.' This is a really cool story, and I took this question because my mom came from Europe and moved to Canada when she was young and didn't know any English, and she learned from watching TV shows. That's how she got her English to get really, really good, and she now doesn't have an accent, understands all the rules of English better than most people, and you would never know that she was an immigrant. And I thought that's really cool that that's part of how she learned English, and it's just a full circle moment for me. Really amazing that other people are now doing that too. They're learning English from watching my content. So I think that's really cool, and thank you so much for leaving that feedback. I'm glad it's having an impact on your life. Next up, Marwa: Thank you so much for all the information, Evan. I believe that your book will amaze us. Will you be able to reach it in Egypt, as I hope? I don't see why it won't be available in Egypt. I don't know, uh, I'm pretty sure it can be available in Egypt. Again, I don't know why it wouldn't be. I don't know if I'll make a stop in Egypt on the tour. You never know. Hey, if there's a lot of Egyptian people who want me to go and make a tour stop, then I might just do that. Again, I haven't thought too much about the marketing side of things yet. I want to finish the book. Deadline's coming up. I want to have it in the hands of my publisher, work through the editing, and then have a call on— I want to say January 8th Whatever the Friday is, it's a Friday in the new year, anyway, I have a call with the publicity person at the publishing company to discuss the marketing strategies, which is exciting. I'm excited that, hey, this is coming out, we're gonna launch it. And of course, as we go through this process, I'll keep you guys updated and let you know. But yes, I'd love to get to Egypt. Monopoly. Thank you very much for this very useful tip. I'm looking forward to the release of the book. Please keep up the good work. I wish you a speedy recovery. Thank you again. There's been tons of awesome comments. Just wishing me to get better. It's awesome knowing that I'm just sitting here talking to a video camera and it's reaching lots of people and it's having an impact on your life. And that's why I do it, you know, that's why I do it. I love being able to help, help inspire people, and I love hearing your stories. And just knowing that the message is being reached and is being acted upon makes me feel good. That's why I keep doing it for you. And then question from New Future Builder: This topic of clarity is amazing. Thank You on this and a look to become even more clear. And I have an interesting question. Do you think there's a movement for founders, CEOs, senior executives to become the face of their big companies and brands in terms of marketing and content creation? For example, oh, I think it got cut off. Uh, I think he had Grant Cardone in there and Gary Vaynerchuk. Is there a trend towards these CEOs being the brand? I think, I think it's always been there. I think it's a personality thing. I think some founders, some CEOs are much more visible and like being in the spotlight. You think, you go all the way back to P.T. Barnum, who was the master showman. And even as you move through the generations, you look at, you look at Steve Jobs, right, who was the face of Apple and was so good at delivering amazing presentations. It wasn't just the tech, but people looked up to him. And then there's a bunch of people who, if you look at the Forbes list of the wealthiest people in the world, probably more than half of them, you'd never recognize them. You have no idea who they are. You don't have to be a a Type A personality, you don't have to be in the media, you don't have to be the expert, the face, to become successful. I think it's much more about if that's your personality, if that's your strength, then you want to go all in on it because why not bet on the strengths that you have? I think it's just now people are moving away from maybe traditional media or blogs. You know, Mark Cuban had his blog for the longest time, I don't know if he still does, and people moving towards YouTube now and Twitter and other social media platforms. So I think it really just depends on what you're good at, what you want to learn, where your passion is, where your interests are. If you're someone like Grant Cardone or Gary Vaynerchuk or even bigger names, and that's a natural skill set of yours, then it makes absolute sense to do that. I know Gary Vee, as an example, hates to write, and he's on his third book, I want to say now, and it's all kind of ghostwritten with his approval from interviews that he's done and stuff, but he doesn't actually write any of it. He likes to be in front of the camera, right? And he's really good at it. And it's one of the only channels that I watch pretty much every new video that comes out on. And so I see more and more entrepreneurs and CEOs doing that if that's in their skill set. But I wouldn't want you guys to go out and do it because you see me putting out videos or you see Gary Vee putting out videos and say, well, it works for him, I should go do it. You know, if it's not in your skill set, if you don't want to learn it, if it feels like a jor— a jor— that's a job and chore combined. Jor, jor. Chore. If it feels like a job or a chore, then you shouldn't do it, right? Then you're not going to have a lot of success with it. You should find what works for you. So I think it's always been a part, always will be. Just the platforms people use will change as technology and society changes. So that's it. Thank you guys for joining. I hope you're having an amazing holiday season. I'm looking forward to getting better. I'm looking forward to my father getting better. I'm looking forward to getting a little bit of work done on the book. 30 to 60 minutes every single day on your business. Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, no excuses. You can find the time. Thank you guys for watching. If you have a question for me for the next video, either about the topic of getting work done, about the book that I'm writing, or about the book writing process that you're curious about, leave it in the comments below and I will make a video response for you next week. Thank you so much for watching. Continue to believe, and I'll see you soon.
