Charles M. Schwab was one of the ‘robber barons’ of the early 20th century. He was, at the time, one of the richest men in the world. He was president of Bethlehem Steel, but his ambition to become more and more was insatiable.
He hired famed productivity consultant of his time, Ivy Lee… Ivy charged nothing for his service.He requested 15 minutes with each executive of Bethlehem Steel, and said: at the end 90 days (13 weeks) write me a check for what it was worth to you.
At the end of the 13 weeks, Schwab wrote a check for $25,000, in today’s dollar it would be at least a half a million dollars.
What did Lee teach to all the executives in the 15 minutes that became worth half a million dollars to Charles Schwab?
The steps Ivy Lee asked the executives to take every day:
- 1. At the end of each work day, write down the six most important things you need to accomplish the next day. Do not write down more than six tasks.
- 2. Prioritize those six items in order of their true importance. Only you can say what is important to you, by the way. You may want to decide on the One Thing for you, in the area of life you are working on… Most of the time it is what makes you or your business, your expertise, your health, your relationships to GROW.
- 3. When when you start your day the next day, concentrate only on the first task. Work until the first task is FINISHED before moving on to the second task.
- 4. Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion. At the end of the day, move any unfinished items to a new list of six tasks for the following day.
- 5. Most important: Repeat this process every working day.
For example, for me, at this stage, the most important thing is to increase my students’ results… and with it will rise my satisfaction with my own life.
Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? I am learning new tricks…
When back in 2003 I attended the Millionaire Mind Intensive in Brooklyn NY, I loved it. I went home and immediately started to work on the 90-day wealth conditioning program, I bought jars to allocate my money… and quickly produced some outstanding results.
30 days after the intensive, about 200 of us gathered in Manhattan for an investment group.
I drove down early, parked in New Jersey, and took the bus to the Big Apple… and I got there an hour early. As people arrived I asked everyone I could, about 100 people how they did with the 90 day wealth conditioning. Not one said they even started it.
And these were the most committed 200 of the 2000 who participated in that Intensive.
It really hit me that no matter how good the education, i.e. the material, unless it is practiced, unless it is implemented, it is worth nothing.
Insights are a dime a dozen. Yesterday’s transformation is today’s arrogance.
So I am working diligently, as the highest priority task for me, to develop tools to cause implementation: structures for accountability.
In the meantime I am offering what I have… because that is I heard you: you want to make more money….
Although I have announced that the More Money Workshop was ready, I am now having second thoughts. What I need to teach is ready, but the most important part: what you need to do so your money and you change with it is under construction.
So for now I am going to give you stuff I can…

PS: By design essentially means: being more productive about the purpose of life… The purpose of life is to become all you can become in the time that is available to you.
That is the purpose that creates the most fulfilling life, the less friction, and the most joy, love, self-love or others.
Of course this is MY definition: this is what I see that is the purpose of life…
So the purpose of becoming more productive is not that you can simply get more done, or make more money, or have more time to watch Netflix or whatever you like to do in your time that you consider your off-time. It is that you enjoy your productive time as much as your downtime…
The concept ‘productivity’ I recommend is how to become the best person you can become by living by design. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
