In this motivational sales training video, Ryan Dohrn urges viewers to take full control of their daily productivity rather than letting external forces dictate their schedule. He outlines three practical habits: (1) use a phone‑based task‑management app instead of a paper to‑do list, (2) respond to emails promptly but not instantly to provide strong customer service while preserving focus, and (3) openly communicate one’s current tasks to colleagues and others to prevent interruptions. He frames these habits as a way to keep the “steering wheel” of one’s day firmly in one’s own hands, warns that distractions are common, and ends with a call‑to‑action to visit YouControlYou.com and go out and sell.

Hey friends, what are you gonna do today to make sure you have a crazy, crazy productive day? Well, it first starts out with who's gonna drive your day. Is it going to be you, or is it going to be outside forces that are gonna be driving your day? Now you might say to me, Ryan, you don't know my boss. Ryan, you don't know my partner. You don't know my spouse, or whatever. You're right, I don't. But there's one thing that's universally common amongst all of us, and that is if you let others drive your day, guess what they'll do? They'll drive your day. So there's 3 main things that I like to do every single day to make sure that people don't derail me or pull me off my planned path. The first is I use my phone and a task app to keep up with all of my tasks. I don't use a written to-do list. That's the first thing. The second thing is I respond promptly but not instantaneously to every single email because I do want to offer really good customer service. And then the third thing is I tell the others around me what it is that I'm doing to be the best manager of my time. See, a lot of times people abusing your day or derailing your day is they're not intimate with what you're trying to do to be a time management master. Never forget, friends, if this job was easy, everybody would be doing it. Guess what everybody's great at? Distracting or derailing you, taking you off the road to success. Friends, grab that steering wheel firmly and And remember that YouControlYou.com. Get out there and sell something. Make yourself proud, will ya?
