Dear Friend, My name is Eben Pagan. Over the past few years, I’ve made important discoveries that have helped me at least DOUBLE my productivity – and “accidentally” lose about 25 pounds while I was at it. Even better is the way I FEEL. I have much better ability to FOCUS, and at least double the physical energy. I accomplished all of this without using ANY of the traditional “time management” techniques – like calendars, checklists, and “tickler systems.” In fact, the methods I used to increase my focus and productivity are so powerful that they’ve changed me on the INSIDE. The methods are now habits that have become permanent. I’d like to share with you the story of how I discovered these important techniques - and how YOU can use them to manage your time better and get more done in less time… all while improving your health and mental focus. But first, I want to let you in on something: I am a “business book” NUT. I’ve read them all. And been to the seminars, too. I’ve tried so many different organization and time management systems, you’d think I was going for the RECORD or something. And here’s what I found: Every one of them had some “good stuff” - and some stuff that was useless to me. But some of them had some techniques that actually made my life WORSE. Yes, you read that right. Some of the things I learned and tried out actually made me less organized and productive (which is hard to imagine, because I’m a pretty disorganized person naturally). One seminar I went to gave you a big, leather-bound, zippered “planner” – filled with beautifully-designed calendar and checklist pages. The idea was to plan what you were going to do each week with some of the pages, then transfer your checklists to the individual dates, prioritize your activities, and then do them in the “prioritized order.” I think I used it for a week. Another system I studied had you put all your different activities into boxes, and then see how some of the boxes were more important than others. Great idea, but it didn’t get me to DO anything. Still another system I studied taught me to do one type of activity per DAY. Other types of activities got their own entire DAYS. That one never had a chance with me. I just have too many different types of things going on to wait for a different day to do them…  Just because every system I tried wasn’t perfect, I did learn a LOT about managing my time from these systems. It’s just that there were enough “missing pieces” from each system I tried… that it prevented it from working for me “as-is.” I’m sure you can relate to what I’m talking about. One day, maybe ten years ago or so, I was reading one of Stephen Covey’s books (I think it was “The 7 Habits”) and I came across this quote: “Time management is a misnomer. The challenge is to manage ourselves.” This really struck a chord with me. I realized that I had been imagining my problem as being something outside of myself… something that I could somehow get under control. It was as if time was a “thing” – and if I just learned how to “control” it, I would magically start getting a lot more done. I mean, think about the term “time management” for a minute. The term itself implies that you can manage time. Which, of course, you CAN’T. Time goes by, whether you get things done… or not. We all get the same amount of time each day… and, on average, the same amount of time in our lives. It’s not TIME that needs to be managed, it’s US that needs to be managed. Think about it for a minute. If I say “manage your time better” what do you think of first? Making a checklist, putting “to-dos” on your list, adding them to your calendar… making appointments… that kind of thing. But if I say “manage YOURSELF better” what do you think of first? Right, you think about how to get yourself to do the important things you’re not doing. As Stephen Covey well knows, the challenge really IS to manage ourselves. The only problem was that no one had a system that taught you HOW to do it! None of these time management courses contained the secret of how to make sure you do the most important MONEY MAKING things…  I had a successful business, many dozens of employees, and a LOT of opportunities. I realized that the time was right to launch a couple of new businesses, and take advantage of two “niche markets” that weren’t being served well. The challenge I was facing was that I was already working at least 60-80 hours per week running my CURRENT business. Or so I told myself. Here is what my day actually looked like… I would wake up, go straight to my email, and get “sucked in”. Soon I was fighting fires and responding to the requests of others. Often before I had a chance to consider what was actually important to do that day, I’d get a phone call I had to take, or a conference call would come up. Somewhere in there I’d check out a few of my favorite blogs, and maybe catch up on the news. Then I’d go back and check my email. Lather, rinse, and repeat. Before I knew it, the day was nearly over, and I’d realize I hadn’t actually gotten any of the REALLY important stuff done. Sound familiar? What’s worse is that this had literally become a 100% ROBOTIC BEHAVIOR. I’m talking about habitual here. And this process of getting “sucked into” my day spilled over into literally all areas of my life - and affected me on every level. When I would get sucked in, I wouldn’t consciously remember to do things like exercise, eat right, and renew myself. I would try to “squeeze in” these things… between emails, phone calls, and frantically trying to catch up with everything. And you know what that feels like, right? I would forget to eat a meal, and by the time I realized I was hungry, I’d be STARVING. What do you eat when you’re starving? Exactly. Junk. And a lot of it. I wouldn’t exercise regularly. I wouldn’t relax regularly. I didn’t even care that I was 25 pounds overweight. I didn’t have time to care. What was I going to do about it anyway?  I needed a “new paradigm” - and I needed one fast. Fortunately, I remembered seeing a brilliant teacher at a business seminar that I had attended a few years earlier. I had attended a high-priced training on the topic of “execution” - but during the seminar, a man that I’d never heard of was introduced, and he started to talk about the concept of managing not time - but ENERGY. His name was Tony Schwartz. To make a long story short, I took a LOT of notes from his presentation, and wound up learning more from his talk than from the entire rest of the program combined. As I faced this new challenge in my life, and needed to pull myself up out of the daily mess of email, phone calls, and distractions, I began to study leading thinkers in the area of time management and productivity… and I remembered this talk I had seen. I pulled out Tony’s book “The Power Of Full Engagement,” and started reviewing it (I had purchased it after seeing him, but never really “dug in” to the book when I got it). As I read it, the concepts started making a LOT of sense to me. They key lesson I learned from Tony was the idea that our minds are BUILT to focus on one thing at a time - but that we lose this ability over time by multi-tasking and allowing ourselves to be distracted constantly. If we could make it a RITUAL to focus on one important thing at a time, eventually this could become a HABIT - and success would follow. Well, this was the “missing piece” that I needed to complete a puzzle that I had been working on for at least ten YEARS, at that point.  And not only in the “business” arena… my happiness and my health were starting to feel the effects as well. So you can imagine that when I decided it was time to start a new company (or two), that I had to come up with a new way. And I started from scratch. The first thing I did was to come to a “conscious realization” that if I didn’t feel healthy and strong, then NOTHING I did would be the best I could do. As a result, I began using the first 90 minutes or so of my day to exercise, eat a light, balanced meal, and read for 15-20 minutes in a good book. It seems completely “counter-intuitive” – but this one change made a HUGE difference INSTANTLY. Above and beyond the benefits of daily exercise, just the fact that I wasn’t starting my day reading email set my days up on a very different path. Instead of getting SUCKED IN to a bunch of problems and requests from other people, I had time to reflect on what I wanted to do that day. It might not sound like a big shift, but I can guarantee that when you try it yourself, you’re going to experience a MASSIVE, empowering shift.  One of the concepts that I learned from Tony Schwartz is that we often “mix up” different types of activities – and create a big “Grey Zone” mess that has no real purpose, and very poor results. I believe this to be one of the most dangerous traps we entrepreneurs face in getting things done. We read an email, then take a call, then go back to email, then try to do some work, then remember something we forgot to tell someone… so we go back to email… then forget what we were doing… then get sucked into our email again… A big mess. So I stopped reading email constantly through the day, and began focusing my time in larger blocks… on one key task at a time. Now, if you own your own business, you know just how important it is to market your business to get new customers. In fact, you know that marketing your business and creating new products are really the ONLY things that make you money. But how do you BEHAVE on a day-to-day basis? Just like I used to do, you probably check your email constantly, look at your cell phone and text messages, answer instant messages, get on the phone… and try to “fit in” the important MONEY-MAKING activities (marketing and product creation) BETWEEN your emails, text messages, instant messages, and phone calls! This also leads to completely WASTING any breaks you do take – mindlessly surfing the internet, eating junk food, or complaining about how crazy life is. If you take a minute and think about it, you’ll realize just how backwards this really is. I mean, on an “intuitive” level – shouldn’t your email, text messages, phone calls, etc. wait until the important work of getting new customers and creating products for them is DONE? Duh. So I reorganized my day to focus on just that: Getting customers and creating products. I started spending 90-120 minutes at a time on ONE TASK. And I will tell you, this was a GAME-CHANGER. And I will tell you right now, if could only change one thing about the way you work… that would make you a LOT more money… start focusing your work in blocks of time… on BIG money-making activities!  And I really admire and respect the creators of these programs. Some of the insights that I’ve gotten from these experts have made me a LOT of money. But it was the idea of focusing time in large, uninterrupted blocks – then creating ROUTINES that become HABITS that really changed everything for me. Once I learned about this piece of the puzzle, I was finally able to use the best techniques from the OTHER systems that I had learned before… ALL TOGETHER. The result? I lost about 25 pounds, became healthier than I’ve ever been in my life (I basically don’t get sick anymore, because my immune system is so strong), and I increased my energy by at LEAST 100% (and learned how to sustain my energy as well – so it’s strong and focused during all of my work sessions). I was also able to start two new companies – that each did millions of dollars in sales their first year – while continuing to run my current business. If you would have told me that this level of productivity, energy, and health was possible – with LESS EFFORT AND “HARD WORK” than I was doing before, I would have thought you were completely out of your mind. But now that I’ve created it in my own life, I KNOW it’s possible. And I know that it’s actually easier to have high energy, strong focus, and get more done… than it is to feel anxious and fatigued… and get very little done.  Even before I had the amazing breakthroughs that I’ve had over the past couple of years, I’ve seen just how POORLY most people manage themselves and their productivity. When I started the second of the two companies that I’ve started recently, I finally had my big opportunity… And the strange thing is, it happened accidentally. I was getting ready to start a coaching program for authors, speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs who wanted to learn how to build “Information Product” businesses online. As part of the launch process (and on the advice of my friend Frank Kern), I did a survey to discover what the biggest questions and needs were… of my potential customers. I can still remember the day that I had the big “Aha!”… I had driven down to San Diego to get Frank’s advice on my new business, and we were reading through the answers to the survey I had done. As I recall, I had something like a thousand surveys filled out, each one containing the answers to about ten questions. That’s a lot of data. But we sat in Frank’s office, and I read through the answers out loud – so we could get a real view inside the needs and minds of my potential customers. As I was reading through the answers to a question that asked about “biggest frustrations and challenges” – one type of answer REALLY stood out. Every few lines, I would read the words “time management” or “productivity” or “stay focused” or “get myself to take action” – or something similar. Frank and I started to notice that the biggest challenge that these people were talking about had nothing to do with publishing information products – they were frustrated with time management and productivity! On the way home from that day with Frank, I thought a lot about those survey answers… and what I could do to help.  I was creating a coaching program about Information Marketing. And then it hit me: What if I created a “Time & Productivity” program as a PART of my new coaching program? I mean, everyone was asking for it. Why not just include it? And that’s how “Wake Up Productive” was born.  I was going to offer these teleclasses as a bonus for my $6,000-$12,000 Guru MasterMind coaching program. But, as usual, when I started working on the CONTENT of the training, I realized that I had a LOT more to teach than would EVER fit in a few teleclasses. And the more I worked on the training, the more obvious it became that this material wasn’t something that you learn “all at once” – and it wasn’t something you could master in just a few teleclasses. Ultimately, this program became a series of EIGHTEEN high-quality video trainings – that are taken as a curriculum over a period of 90 days. If you know me, then you know that it’s impossible for me to do anything “half-assed” – and this program is no exception. I’ve now created what I consider to be the most powerful, in-depth, and GUARANTEED way to increase YOUR productivity, energy, and financial success… right from the comfort of your own home… that has ever been created. Let me tell you about it… 
The program is a 90-day program that involves a series of 18 video trainings plus a set of powerful exercises to help you reach all of your personal productivity objectives. Here’s what you’re going to learn in this program, section by section…  In this video, I’m going to introduce you to a set of principles and concepts that we’ll be using during the entire Wake Up Productive program. You will get access this video RIGHT after you register for the class… and it’s critical that you watch this video IMMEDIATELY after registering. Next week (after you watch the orientation and introduction video), you’re going to watch one short “Fast Start” video each day (these videos are short, maybe 5-10 minutes each). Each one ends with a very important exercise. Together, the Introduction and Fast Start videos are the first “module” of the program, and they lay the foundation. Some of the things you’ll learn during this first module of trainings are:
The rest of the 90-day program is organized into three sets of four trainings. You’ll start a new section for these next three months.  I call this set of four sessions “The Inner Game Of Productivity.” Some of the things you’ll also be learning during these four sessions include:
 I’m going to teach you:
 I don’t think of myself as a “motivational speaker” or a “self-help guru” – but I DO think that I’ve discovered how to help other people get the things they want in life with MUCH less time, effort, and hassle than they ever thought was possible. In the third month of your training, I’m going to walk you through a set of trainings and exercises that will teach you secrets of unlocking your potential and achieving greatness in life and business… that will help you find the STRAIGHT PATH to your dreams. I’m going to teach you the secrets of:
During this program I’m also going to teach you MANY other principles, mindsets, and step-by-step techniques for increasing your energy and becoming FAR more productive. Here are a few other things I’m going to show you (just to name a few):
 By now, you’ve probably started to get a sense of whether or not this program can help you get what you want, increase your energy, and become more productive. If it’s right for you, that’s great. If not, that’s OK, too. I designed this program with a very specific, very particular set of potential students in mind.  If you’re one of these types, then I highly recommend that you consider investing in Wake Up Productive. Let me explain who will get the MOST from this program…  But it has also created a bunch of time management CHALLENGES that are difficult to deal with. The “always connected” world means more emails, more text messages, and more instant messages than ever. And these types of communication distract and interrupt us CONSTANTLY. The Wake Up Productive program will help you overcome some of these challenges that seem IMPOSSIBLE to solve… and do it QUICKLY. If you’re an “Internet Entrepreneur” you will find that Wake Up Productive will give you a powerful set of tools to focus and get things done in your busy day-to-day environment.  These range from finding it challenging to stay motivated… to avoiding interruptions from people who think that we’re just “hanging out” at home (like our friends and families). The techniques that you’re going to learn inside of Wake Up Productive were CREATED by someone who works from home (that’s me) – and designed to help others who must manage THEMSELVES and their own productivity. If you work from home (or would like to start your own home-based business), then this program will be VERY valuable to you.  The great thing about marketing information is that you have a big opportunity to increase your income by becoming more PRODUCTIVE. If you’re in this industry, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. The techniques in Wake Up Productive are particularly well-suited to teachers and “Gurus” – as they allow you to switch back and forth between tasks that require a combination of focus and creative energy (like writing, speaking, teaching, coaching) – and tasks that require a lot of “changing gears” quickly (like returning calls, answering emails, and managing many relationships). If you found yourself saying “That sounds like me!” to one or more of these descriptions, then this program will be VERY valuable to you. In fact, I believe that it will show you methods of being productive that will ROCKET you to a new level of success in your life.  1) Someone who is satisfied with your current level of productivity. If you like your current system and your current level of productivity, then you should probably “pass” on this program. This program is so dramatically different from other systems that it will probably not be something you’re going to enjoy. This program is really only for people who are NOT satisfied with their current level of productivity, and who want to “go to the next level.” 2) Someone who wants “instant results.” In this program, I’m going to teach you several techniques that are going to work VERY quickly. But it will probably take you a full 90 days to actually DOUBLE your productivity level. While I think this is great, some people don’t like the idea of investing this much time. If you’re one of those people who needs to increase your productivity YESTERDAY, then you should pass on this course. 3) Someone who isn’t “open to coaching.” If there’s one thing that will prevent this material from working, it’s an attitude of “I already know this stuff” or “I want to watch and analyze everything before I do ANYTHING.” This program is NOT for someone who is “closed” and not willing to JUMP IN with both feet. I know this material works to increase productivity at a dramatic level – but you need to be OPEN to the coaching if you’re going to get the biggest benefits and results from the program. Bottom line: If you’re satisfied with your current productivity levels… if you’re expecting INSTANT results… or if you’re not open to coaching… then don’t register for this program. It’s probably not right for you.  Actually, I want to start with a better question: What’s the VALUE of a program like this one? First, let’s break down some numbers - and we’re going to stay hyper-realistic here… and we’ll start with one very simple question:  So, if you make a $100,000 per year, you make about $50 per hour. If you make $50,000 per year, you make $25 per hour. Get it? Now, did you calculate your hourly income? Good. (HINT: It’s far better to do this calculation with the amount of money you WANT to be making. Trust me on this one.) Next, let’s assume that the Wake Up Productive program does NOT perform for you as well as I’m promising… in other words, let’s be “realistic” or “conservative” about it. Instead of DOUBLING your productivity, let’s say that it only gives you back an extra hour of time per day. If you’re worth $25 per hour, then this gives you $25 per day back in value. Over a month, this will give you over $500 worth of time to invest in other projects, relax, or whatever you want to do with it…  The reality is that you will be more productive in EVERY ASPECT OF YOU LIFE. But let’s stick with our "worst case scenario" of one productive hour per day, and five days per week. Can you imagine an extra $6,000.00 of productivity? What it would do for your life? Now, what if the promise I’m making you (and guaranteeing!) actually DOES come true. What if you CAN actually DOUBLE your productivity with this program - the way so many other people already have? How much would THAT be worth to you in real dollars and cents? I can just imagine the gears starting to turn in your head! So now let’s talk about the PRICE of Wake Up Productive… As a “training program” this information is worth thousands of dollars. NO QUESTION. If I was offering this as a live training, I would charge at least $2,000 for it. Probably more. But because I can offer this program to you in an online, home-study format, I’m going to make this program available to you at a price that’s ridiculously low… a price that will make it so that literally anyone can afford to take advantage of it. Instead of charging thousands of dollars for this valuable information and training, I’m going to offer it to you at the low investment of only $297 - TOTAL. As you can calculate yourself, even if you only get an extra hour per day of time back, this program will pay for itself 10x over in a matter of months. In fact, it’s likely that this program could be the single best financial investment you’ve ever made in your life (and I’m betting that it will be). And if the low price of only $297 isn’t enough to convince you, I’m also going to give you the option of paying three easy monthly payments of only $99 each… so that you have literally NO EXCUSE for not taking advantage of this opportunity. I know it’s a crazy offer. Here’s why I’m doing it… I want everyone to experience the increase in success, productivity, and freedom that comes from learning how to control your time. And now you can do it for a price that’s not only affordable… but also wise.  Register for the program today, and watch the Introduction video. Next week, watch the 5 Fast Start Sessions. Then, watch all of the other training sessions over the next 90 days. If you get to the end of the program and you aren’t 100% satisfied with your massive increase in productivity, all you have to do is email me and ask for a refund. It’s that simple. I’ll cheerfully give your money back with no questions, and no hassles. You’ve obviously got nothing to lose except your distractions and interruptions… and your lack of productivity…  Choose your payment option now: 
I’ll talk to you soon, Eben P.S. If you’d like listen to three interviews with real people who have used the Wake Up Productive Program to dramatically increase their productivity, just check this out: Case Study Interviews And here are more reviews from people who got “early access” to Wake Up Productive (read this, you’ll learn a lot from it): More Feedback From Students P.P.S. One more thing… if you wanted, you could probably figure out all this stuff on your own. I know, because that’s what I did. But it’s probably cost me more than a million dollars when I add up what I’ve invested, spent, tested, and WASTED figuring out the “good stuff” that actually works… and works consistently and predictably. So you can invest a ton of money and time trying to figure out what works, or you can short-circuit that whole process and do something of a “mind-meld” with me… and then you can be putting this material to work in your life starting tomorrow. |
