Playbook 2: How to be a machine

NICK CEGELSKI & ARMAND FARROKH
About this episode

Every 10th episode, we tear down one topic. This is how to be a machine: you’ll never make the “no time to prospect” excuse again.


FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

  • Morning routine: Wake up, make the bed, read, exercise, start on your terms.
  • Plan your attack: 8-3 are your golden hours, 3-6 are your admin hours. Batch everything.
