This week's video describes the results of a 2018 study conducted at the University of Cambridge about boosting testosterone levels.

It’s a method that can create a 5% boost in testosterone within minutes, no supplements needed.

It has to do with changing what you pay attention to and what you believe about yourself.

Your attention acts like a lens—adjust its focus, and you can change your inner reality in ways that change your outer reality.

In this week's video, we delve into a mental framework for leadership decisions: the "Whoa, Not Giddy Up" hiring and retention strategy.

I want you to feel like a sports coach who doesn't need to urge their athletes to play – they're self-driven. That's the team you deserve.

I'll show you how to identify and foster such individuals, transforming your role from a constant motivator to a strategic director.

This shift not only enhances team productivity but also elevates your leadership effectiveness.

Click here to watch the video and start using this mental framework to improve team dynamics.

You might be thinking, as an entrepreneur it’s impossible to set hard boundaries to focus on your needle-moving projects.

What if a client needs you? What if your employee has a pressing question?

It’s time to make an all-or-nothing decision.

You can make a rule, and people can wait while you get your most important work done.

You will get more done in less time. I’ll tell you how.

Look, I understand the instinct that makes you want to level up all the time.

But today we’re killing sacred cows. Let’s talk about leveling down to accelerate success. It's about strategically choosing battles where you can shine brightest, rather than getting lost in a more competitive arena.

Sometimes, the path to rapid growth and achievement isn't in stretching to reach the next rung but in dominating the space you're already in. This approach can lead to quicker wins, greater visibility, and unexpected opportunities for growth.

In just 5 minutes, I'll guide you through this paradigm shift, suggesting ways to amplify the results you get in any area of life. Watch this week’s micro-productivity challenge here.
