In this motivational sales training video, Ryan Dohrn emphasizes personal ownership of daily productivity. He argues that allowing external forces to drive your day leads to distraction and derailment. To stay in control, he outlines three daily habits: (1) use a phone-based task‑management app instead of a handwritten to‑do list, (2) respond to emails promptly but not instantly to balance customer service with focus, and (3) openly share your schedule and priorities with colleagues so they understand and respect your time. He frames these practices as a "steering wheel" you must grip firmly, warns that easy jobs attract those who thrive on distraction, 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?
