Hi, Richard D. Rawlings here.
For most of my life I have been lazy, directionless, and distracted. I felt like I was smart and I had great ideas, but when I made plans to implement them, I'd get totally stuck.
I'd put them off, or I'd get distracted by some other shiny new thing.
I knew that had to change if I wanted to develop a real business with a strong foundation.
So I decided to figure out how to be motivated and prolific.
It wasn't easy. Procrastination is a hard habit to break. I struggled with self-doubt and distraction for a long time.
Most 'getting things done' type-books didn't work for me at all.
------------------
I finally caught a break when I started reading about 'the psychology of motivation', million-dollar scientific studies on workplace productivity, and the habits of famously productive people.
------------------
This was a LOT different from usual time management tips and tricks and calendars. A lot of it was dense scientific literature.
But I had a feeling I was on the right track, so I dove in...
Over the past few years I've spent hundreds of hours reading on the subject of 'how the mind works, when at work', the 'entrepreneurial mindset' and the science of motivation based on the lives of famously prolific people (eg, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Stephen King etc).
I soon realized WHY most typical 'time management programs' and day planners were totally useless for me...
------------------
You see, these programs say that they can help you 'get things done', but they were ACTUALLY addressing organizational problems! Not motivation, or procrastination.
------------------
I started making progress when I began to see the same patterns coming up, again and again, while sifting through scientific textbooks and autobiographies. I eventually developed my own practical 'system' of productivity to get focused and motivated to get things done.
It's based on learning new automatic habits, getting rid of bad habits, and identifying high value activities and focusing on them. Of course there's more to it, but don't worry. I'm going to show you everything.
Despite starting out as a lazy procrastinator who couldn't get much of anything done, I'm currently writing books and courses, and building a home publishing business, day-in-day out - and loving it.
Because it made such an significant difference in my life, and because it took me SO long to learn (most of the information out there is stuffed with filler)...
------------------
I put what I've learned into concise, no-nonsense books, so that you can use what I've learned to fix your own productivity problems and improve your career without having to spend 2 years learning how to do it.
------------------
And based on reading real case studies, I now believe that if you never figure out how to:
- Form good habits
- Focus, & eliminate distraction
- Identify high value activities in your life (& delegate everything else)
- Continuously learn from others who have been there before you
... You're doomed to struggle in business for the rest of your life. Getting things done will always be painful, and you'll never 'break away' from the pack to run a truly fulfilling business that provides freedom & peace of mind for you and your family.
If you DO know how to do all these things, however, then the world opens up to you, and you'll be able to see your business grow every day.
------------------
Why should you believe me?
------------------
Well, I'm not asking you to believe me on blind faith...
I'm just inviting you to try the concise content that I've prepared so that you can see it working for yourself (as thousands of others already have across my sites).
I hope you love these guides as much as I enjoyed creating them for you! I sincerely hope you get a lot out of them. Talk soon!
