of things!
By reviewing your goal and plan
daily; and reflecting on your
days, you start doing what needs
to be done – almost on auto-pi-
lot. GONE are those days of pro-
crastination! Sure, you may have
the occasional “off” moment, but
those don’t last… Soon enough
you find yourself asking “is this
what I need to do to get where I
want to go”?
That is why I started by asking if
you journaled. For me it’s CRU-
CIAL for your personal success.
Writing down what went well
allows you to BEAT your inner
critic, that sits there saying,
“naaah… you won’t get it done”
because you’ll see your progress
before your eyes.
Writing down what went wrong
and why, or how to learn from it,
beats your inner critic again, be-
cause you don’t let a good learn-
ing moment go to waste.
A journal with MORE than just
ideas or thoughts; with a shit
load of gratitude, celebrations
of progress and learnings - pure
gold!
You know what else is pure gold?
Holding your OWN product in
your hand, being able to share
it with others AND working
with it yourself on a daily basis…
Because? This is WHY I created
the journal, to do better EVERY
day… DAY BY DAY… And, I want
this feeling, the feeling of com-
pleting your own side-project
or side-hustle for all of you. It’s
so fucking energising and your
self-esteem grows: you’ll WANT
more…. You’ll DO more!
a mastermind meeting, a long
time ago now, I was asked to
explain my vision behind the
journal and the initial HUGE
idea. When I was done explain-
ing what I now call the Day by
Day method, someone said, “you
should teach courses on this
subject…!”.
My first response back then?
“There is no way I am cut out to
do shit like that…”
But… you and I now know, we
are an UNSTOPPABLE force
and we ARE getting this shit
done!
It's a simple trick – where you
learn to get projects done; and
obviously, we all have so many
ideas… let’s get them done!!
Now my self-esteem has grown,
I’m onto the next project of
mine, the one I’d sat here post-
poning (for quite a while). During
