Hi, this is Brian.
Welcome back to another micro class. This one's on the success formula plus two easy's. It's inspired by leading an inspired life. Jim Rohn, Old School classic. Jim Rohn offers us a success formula. His success formula is very, very simple. He, he says success is simply a few disciplines practiced every day. Emphasis on every day. Not once in a while, but every day. And he says, look, it's not a big deal. It's a few disciplines. And these disciplines should not be heroic. They should actually be easy stuff that you can do, right? He says there are two easies, there's these few disciplines that you do on, on a daily basis. They are easy to do. But guess what? They're also easy not to do. Not to do. Two easy, easy to do, easy not to do. The successful among us have identified their few disciplines and they do it every single day. So for me, an example is I produce consistently. So doing deep work in my AM.
One in AM two time blocks, right? Boom, boom. That's what my days look like.
I show up and I do deep work. So I get up early, which means.
I went to bed early, right?
That's not hard to do. It's not hard to go to bed early. There are a lot of hard things.
That's not one of them, right?
Turning off my stuff and going to bed early, that's not a particularly hard thing to do. Then I can get up early pretty easily. And then it's not that hard to show up and do a two hour deep work time block before I get online.
Awesome.
Take a little break, hang out with my son. And it's not particularly hard to go back and show up and do two more hours of deep work. Not online, not distracted, doing more deep work. Those are easy key disciplines that fuel my success, right? Those are easy to do. But guess what? They're really easy not to do too.
It's really easy to skip these and to do them once in a while.
And I choose not to do that. So you need to identify what your few key disciplines are. Not every single thing you can do, but the few key disciplines that if you did them, would lead to success. Make them easy. We're not talking about heroic stuff, right? And then recognize they're easy not to do. But you gotta see that those easy little things aggregated and compounded lead to unbelievable results. This is the basis of Darren Hardy's compound effect, Jeff Olson's slight edge. Jeff Olson says, look, the challenge here is that these are so easy to do that you underestimate their power. And you think that just because you're not getting a huge return of the first time you do it, or the second or third or fourth or fifth, that they're not worth doing. But the wisest among us know you got to be thinking about this over here and do them. So there's your success formula in two easy what are your key disciplines? And is now a good time to start doing them every single, single day?
Have fun with that. Hey guys, this is Brian. A lot of people don't know what I do beyond these YouTube videos I put up. So I thought I'd give you a quick tour of our membership platform. Thousands of people have joined us already. 10 bucks a month get access to a ton of stuff that's in addition to what I put up on YouTube for free. So the basic idea is you just watched a micro class. Hope you enjoyed that. I share. I just started doing these micro classes, but I Now share over 50 of these per month. We've shared dozens so far and it's basically a quick class on my absolute favorite stuff across the different domains of optimal living. Two to three maybe five minute little micro classes on how to optimize your life. In addition to that, you get access to every single one of our philosopher's notes. We now have over 250 philosopher's notes on some really, really good books. A lot of them in each one of them. You're familiar with the PNTV videos if you've watched many of those. But we also have PDFs and MP3s of our Philosopher's notes. So here's. Let's take a look at what a PDF looks like. This is an example of a philosopher's note. It's a six page PDF where I basically share some of my favorite thoughts, riff on it, talk about how other teachers say the same things, and give you a nice playful kick in the butt to go out and apply the wisdom that is a philosopher's note. I record that as an MP3 that you can download as well. And 250 of those, I produce 10 of those at least per month that I share with you in addition to the micro classes. And then you also get access to all of our old classes. We have the five day immersion, reboot, habits 101, confidence 101, getting stuff done 101, meditation 101, and then future classes including relationships 101, energy 101, purpose 101, biz 101, goals 101, etc. So there you go. Really blessed to have some extraordinary support. And I will share with you where you go to sign up. I'll put a link to this, but basically, cruise on over here. You can sign up. And this is the kind of response we've gotten so far from our members. It's pretty neat. I've made more positive changes in my life, my brief membership, only three months so far, than I did through years of counseling. Yes. Brian Johnson, you are a rock star.
Thank you very much.
That's very kind of you.
And.
And I'm making huge strides in optimizing my life. As a result of your philosopher's notes and optimal living classes. I spend $19 a month on my gym membership to take care of my body. A mere $10 a month on an optimal living membership is the biggest value investment I've ever made in my emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Thank you for the incredible work you're doing to inspire us to be rock stars in our own lives. Unbelievably inspiring and humbling. In 24 hours, we received hundreds of extraordinary notes from members around the world. So there you go. That's a quick look at what we're up to. $10 a month. Hope to astonish you. There you go.
