Power-Up Your Productivity in 4 Weeks

Learn how to transform your weekly habits, plans, and systems into a productive powerhouse that build to a magnificent month, quality quarter, and a year of "Yes! I did it!"

A few successful days lead to a victorious week, sharpened skills, and a much needed confidence boost. Because here's the secret of long-term productivity and reaching the summit of your goals and aspirations. Successful days lead to victorious weeks, which stack up to your best year ever.

You can do this each day with the right tools, community, and guide alongside you. Practically you already know how to be productive, but it’s so dang hard to do in the moment. You get in your own way, and that’s normal! Here's why that's so common and how I can help you power-up to a new level of productivity! 

Stop the weekly (daily?) wheel of stress

You wake up and start the day reacting to the news, bosses, co-workers, even family. You try your best to get everything done, you still end up overwhelmed, adrift, and feeling like (or knowing) there's still a mountain of things left to do. 

The Most Frustrating Part of Getting Stuck

When you struggle to prioritize the right work and communicate it to the people who matter (including yourself) - it's easy to default to simple, unremarkable tasks. Things you can point to and say "See, I've been working hard!"

But deep down, you know that type of work won't get you where you want to be. If you run your own business (or side-hustle) the feeling can be even worse. You actually own your time but consistently focus on "downhill work" instead of the essay, code, sales calls, or videos that can change the trajectory of your business.

Like you, I had years of frustrating, unproductive work weeks (and months, and years). Sure I was getting things done and had a reputation of a being a "hard worker"... but I wasn't doing the important "uphill work" or focusing on the creative output I knew I was capable of. And since I struggled to define my own priorities and tasks, I sure couldn't communicate that with confidence to bosses, co-workers, or even friends and family who requested my time and attention.
The biggest thing I've gotten from the course is how you take all these productivity tools and put them together in a cohesive system.

I like to learn about productivity and have taken different courses, even had coaches in the past, but this course has helped me visualize how I can combine everything in a way that works for me.
- Max McGuire

You're no stranger to productivity, but...

Planning the week, making to-do lists, blocking time, reviewing the week, and setting goals are all things you're familiar with... but it's still hard to put the pieces together in a meaningful way.

It's like you're looking at a puzzle with all the parts scattered about. You can tell what each one does individually but struggle assemble a greater system.

You want to assemble a productivity system that is greater than the sum of the parts but also brings out the best in each tool or tactic.

What's maddening is how quickly you get in your own way and block productivity.

⚑ Productivity Power-Up Self Guided Edition πŸ”‹

You'll learn clear principles for productivity and how these specific power-ups help you face any challenge, overcome obstacles, and do the work you're meant to do each week.

You'll enter each day with a clear plan of action, ability to quickly prioritize and pivot, project clarity to others while building confidence in your own power.

I know this might sound crazy for a productivity course - but you'll start to see how you're the hero of your own story. How each day you're being called into something bigger than yourself.

It may not seem like much right now, but the more you use these tools and power-ups to take ownership and forge ahead, fight the dragon of procrastination and travel through the valley of self-doubt... the closer you'll come to reaching the mountaintop.

Breaking everything down was a huge help!

I used my new power-ups from the course to confidently launch my new podcast and have systems in place to keep publishing consistently! I've never gotten this far, thank you, thank you, thank you! - Tish Bouliver

I finally got my work under control...

The Power-Up course was tremendous for me as I started a new job with confidence. Coworkers are telling me "you're way ahead!"

Now that I have work under control I finally have more free time to start focusing on things I want to do personally. My confidence is soaring and I'm ready to take on more!

You've got questions, I've got answers

How is this different than the live sessions?

The content is exactly the same. You'll be able to go through the written lessons, curated resources, and live call replays. You'll also have access to the slides to follow along.

How much time should I commit to this course?

Protect about 2 hours for each lesson and replay. The written primers are designed to be relatively short so you have plenty of time to practice, and practice is something I hope you do. The value of a course like this is not just in learning but application. 

Do I get access to updates of the course?

Yes! I'll be updating this course with new material as the year goes on. I also plan to add more videos to help you sort through concepts faster. 

What if I want to join a live cohort later?

I'd love that! What I'm offering is the ability to credit your purchase towards the next live cohort. So for example if Round 3 is $350 then your cost will be $2000. Make sense? Credit may vary. 

When is the next live round of the course?

Round 3 of the Productivity Power-Up is scheduled to begin in early August, 2021. 

Still not sure if this is for you?
