Do you have a performance disability? I'm not asking if you have a sexual performance disability rather, a will power disability. Will power is limited!
Are there things you know you should be doing that you don’t do? If you could bring yourself to do some of those thing you could do to change your life for the better?
But you don’t do them?
Each and every desicion you make through the day you burn your will power. In order to be successful you must uderstand how to use your will power wisely.
Otherwise, you will waste your will power on unimportant tasks that do not bring your closer to your goal.
So if you feel you are procrastinate, or are not motivated enough to achomplish certain tasks it may be because you do not know how to manage your will power.
Everyone has a limited supply of will power however, those with ADD / ADHD have a much more sever case of this.
When you wake up each morning with a full tank of gas however, if you suffer with ADD / ADHD you my only wake up with half of what someone without ADD / ADHD wakes up with.
So if you are one of those who struggles with ADD / ADHD managing your will power is much more critical for you.
In today module we will look at the research of Dr. Russell Barkley who is the fore most expert on ADD / ADHD because everyone has a limited supply of will power however, how much more effective will his advice be if you do not struggle with ADD / ADHD to reach your goal.
Dr. Russell Barkley believe that ADD / ADHD has been misnamed because ADD / ADHD is not an attention problem but a performance problem because those with ADD / ADHD have a limited supply of will power.
Even if you do not have to deal with ADD / ADHD by appling the principles in today lesson you will be able to conserve and refill your tank of will power.
Will power is like the gasaline in your car. Will power is the energy that gives you the motivation to go. But if you struggle with ADD / ADHD you have less will power than those without ADD / ADHD.
The non ADD / ADHD might have a fuel tank of a Hummer but if you have ADD / ADHD you might have the fuel tank the size of a small car.
So you will need to concerse your energy by. making wiser choices of how to spend your energy.
Many of you may be distracted easily, have a short attention span, be very impulsive and make rash decisions without thinking first, and trouble with organization which makes being productive a challenge ,however, some of you may have a bigger issue with this because if you deal with all 5 of these issues. This is warning signs of someone with ADD / ADHD which is a clinical issue.
Many mental professionals are quick to diagnose a person as ADD or ADHD because many of the traits associated with ADHD also affects the general population as well. But you need to be sure you are ADD or ADHD.
There are many disadvantages associated with those conditions however, there are also many advantages too. People who are ADD, ADHD, and or dyslexic excel at entrepreneurship. Even though they do have some disadvantages that they have to deal with as well.
For example in the article …….. we showed you evidence that dyslexics are 400% more likely to become millionaires however, they do have some disadvantages they need to overcome in order to be successful.
Do You Have A Performance Disability
In the following video, Dr. Russell Barkely explains that those with ADD / ADHD have a performance disability. Even if you do not struggle with ADD / ADHD you may know what to do but the brain does not allow you to put into action what you know because of the limited supply of will power.

I lived 42 years before I started to understand the impact my dyslexia had on my life. I am now 45 years old and I am just starting to understand the impact my ADHD has had on me. The things I use to blame dyslexia for, I am now understanding it is my ADHD.
It is as if my brain know what to do but body body does not move. I think to myself my body is not moving. I have consulted with, and development marketing strategies for some of the biggest companies in the world however, I could not bring myself to do the things I knew I should do.
There is not a problem in what you know, but what you are doing.
BUILD AN ENVIREMENT TO BE PRODUCTIVE
A big thing now days is being a solo-treneur. But you need to be accountable for what you do and don’t do. If you are working together as a team there are people on your team who can keep you accountable. And when you do not do the things you should. DO NOT LET THEM GO EASY ON YOU.
The meaner they and the more uncomfortable they make it for failing to follow through and act. The more likely you will be to implementing what you need to do.
There is no cure for ADHD however, the following steps will help you to build an environment to be productive. Medication can help but you must decide for yourself if ADD / ADHD medication is right for you.
What happens if you sit around watching Youtube videos all day? Nothing, maybe you did not accomplish much but it does not impact you life much. But if you have ADHD you may have been caught in this type of loop for sometime which is causing you to fail and your life to fail apart.
ADHD has cost me $10’s of millions of dollars in lost revenue because I did not understand the full impact of what it was doing to me, my life and my business
Sure, you understand the impact of not doing the work but it may be weeks before you have to deal with the results. So you ADHD mind can put it off for another day.

Your Virtual Boss
You need to find a virtual boss. Which are reminder, to do lists, charts, calendars, and motivations quotes in eye view that reminds you of what needs to be done and to keep you on tasks. Because those with ADD / ADHD get distracted very easily.
Timers
To go along with your reminders and charts. You need to set timers to keep track of your day. Those with ADD / ADHD, when they are focused on something lose all concept of time. And something you those was 15 min. May have waisted you 2 hours. You need to set times and alarm throughout your day.
Dr. Russell Barkey suggest work for 10 minutes, rest for 3 however, this may seem burdensome. So you may instead set alarms to take a 10 minute break every 30 - 60 minutes.
Chucking
The hardest business task for me to accomplish is calling customers on the phone. Grant Cardone in the 10X rule says to make 300 phones calls a day however, this may be to much for the typical person and especially someone with ADD / ADHD brain to handle. So I set small goals:
- I focus on 10 phone calls at a time.
- I will do a set of 10 phone calls, 5-6X per hour. For a total of 50-60 calls.
- And 300 phone calls a day
MINIMIZE STRESS
One of the biggest fears people have. Closely linked to public speaking is phone sales however, as Mark Yarnell puts it, who is a former writer for Success Magazine. The less likely someone is willing to do a certain task, the more those willing to do it get paid. Phone sales is one of the highest paid professions in the world. See the article: The knowledge of the 1%
MINIMIZE DISTRACTIONS
I do now own a TV however, the internet can still be a distraction. So I close down every browser on my computer that is not nessasary.

WILL POWER IS LIMITED
Just like your time is limited. So is your will power. Mark Zuckaberg took one of the practices of Einstein by wearing the same out fit day after day. It is not that these people who the same stinky clothes day after day. But rather they had a closet full of the same outfit. So they had one less descicion to make that burns up their will power.
REFILL YOUR TANK
Someone who has ADD / ADHD has fewer neurotransmitters than someone who does not have ADD / ADHD. So you will burn through your will power faster. But you can refill your tank.
SELF IMPOSSED REWARDS
High performers put lots of pressure on themselves. If you tried something and failed those in your life you might have people in your life that might tell you that we love you anyways. But these high performers do it for their own self respect. As Dan Pena says if love was enough to get the job done. We would not need money. But love is not enough because when you fail, people stuff. You need to set self imposed rewards on yourself. Perferablity something that will get you a boost of dompanine in the brain like sugar, adventure, and perhaps a romantic evening with your wife. Again, if you can get people involved so that you will not give in until to accomplish the task. Because in order to get what you want, you have to deserve what you want. And you have to feel like you deserve it.
SELF TALK
You need to give yourself a boost of motivation. Something I often repeat to myself
- I am the most high trained bad ass on the telephone
- I am the king of my empire
BREAKS
You need to give the action part of your brain which is called the executive part of your brain a break. So after every hour, give yourself a 10-15 break away from the executive part of the brain. Relax, meditate, play a music instrument.
FUTURE AUTHORING PROGRAM
Dr. Jordan Peterson self authoring program is based up the research of Dr. Jame Pennebaker which suggest that you spend some time writing or talking about your past / present / and future because if you only think about the past traumas you may get caught in a downward spiral, if you focus to much on the future you may end up living in a fantasy but if you write about your past trauma, and give yourself something to look forward to in the future, and write about where you currently are. This will give you the motivation to break through any barriers holding you back.
MOVE
You need to move your body. I wake up every morning a run to get my heart pumping, releasing endorphins into my body. HIIT or what is known as High Intensity Training build grey mater in the brain which also boost your learning ability. Your performance may be at its limit and burned out however, I box for a few minutes. Get my blood pumping and then I can get back on the phones.
SUGAR IN THE BRAIN
Sugar is energy. You may be eating to many sweats which is not good for you but you need sugar in the brain to perform. So you need to quickly give your brain the sugar to work with by siping on fruit juices. (Sip not gulp)
Even if you do not struggle with ADD / ADHD you can apply the suggestions of Dr. Russell Barkely to become a high performer.
