 Hey, what's up? Welcome back to the podcast now. I'm gonna get straight into today's episode as I always do and We're gonna pull up this guy's question here in two seconds. So this guy his name is Brian. He is a baseball coach He's had a business for a couple years. I'm just paraphrasing what he's saying here. He's had a business for a couple years and He goes on to say, you know, I feel like I've been working six to eight hours per day on this business And I feel like I can't get ahead You know, what should I do? Should I think about quitting and then he goes on and talk about the clients that he has And the thing that stuck out to me about this question. He says He's working six to eight hours per day And you know the first thing that I do because You know, I was terrible at math in school as I bring out my 1950s calculator here and I'm just gonna Estimate that he takes the weekends off Right. So six to eight hours. I'm just gonna say six. All right I'm gonna low ball here. Let's say he works six hours and he's just doing that during the week So six times five It's 30 hours per week and he said that's the amount of time that's spending on his business Right. So 30 hours spent on the business now If you're spending 30 hours a week on your business and you feel like you're not getting ahead You need to know what you're doing during those hours Every hour on the hour To see real progress so When someone tells me I'm working 30 hours a week I know that they're not Because that doesn't include the time that they're they're looking at their phone That doesn't include the time that they're just watching random YouTube videos. That doesn't include the time that They're trying to set up their website like those aren't 30 focused hours of work and I Would be shocked if someone works 30 hours and it's focused hours I would be absolutely shocked if they're not moving their business forward every day Right every day you should be able to move your business forward if you're working that many hours per week All right, because that's six hours a day But here's the problem a lot of people say oh Yeah, I work this many hours per week I know they're not telling the truth that it sounds good to say I work I grind it out and I work 40 or 50 or 60 hours per week Sounds good coming out of your mouth, but that's not the reality reality is You have a discipline problem and you you aren't Moving the chains every day. You're not moving the chains. That means You know you're stuck probably doing the same thing over and over and you're being distracted every single day So if that's the case, you know what you probably should quit your business And you should try to find something else to do so that way you stop wasting 30 hours per week But you know if it were me and I used to be very distracted when I started my business Like I know I used to be very very distracted So if it were me if I was in this sort of situation, I would start documenting how I spend those 30 hours like what am I actually doing and You know, what am I doing to get clients? What am I doing to get referrals? What am I doing to make sales? If you spend 30 hours a week only focusing on that then I take 30 hours a week times four That's a hundred and twenty hours per month focusing on marketing and sales If you have 120 hours per month Focused on marketing and sales your business is going to do a lot better Now if you spend 120 hours eating Cheetos and you know watching Netflix I expect your business to do terrible So this comes down to discipline knowing what to do having a schedule So when you go to bed at night, you say alright, this is exactly what I'm doing tomorrow piece by piece right and You know, I don't think you need to work 30 hours a week to be successful either you could be working less than that so hopefully this answers your question and If you guys are watching this video and you feel like you're working a lot and you're not moving the needle forward You're working on the wrong things You're just on the wrong highway right now. You're getting lost and You know, I'd love to help you if you want more of my help watch the end of this video You figure out how to get in touch with me. All right. See you later
